== Strong Sad dying ==

Would the illusion Strong Sad having his head fall off count as an instance of his imagined death? [[User:Shadoman|Shadoman]] 13:57, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
:I think it would count for at least an instance of Strong Sad's servered head.--[[User:Silent|Silent]] 13:59, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
::It is however an occurrence of two of the same characters, that should be mentioned. EDIT: I added it - {{User:Wecannotbesaved/sig}} 23:12, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
:::It's an illusion, not duplicate characters. And severed head it is, not death. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:31, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
::::Who's to say the rest aren't illusions? - {{User:Wecannotbesaved/sig}} 02:05, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
:::::To say that they ARE is baseless speculation. Here it is made quite clear. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 03:47, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

== Seventeen for free? ==

Am I just seeing things? Or did the soap box read "sixteen for free" early in the morning this was released? {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 14:09, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

== Is this worth mentioning? ==

*Traditionally, the suit icons of playing cards are oriented such that half of them are right side up from any portrait-style orientation of the card. Strong Bad's "4 my butt" card has all its icons in the same orientation.
Probably should be reworded a bit. {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 14:21, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

== Again with Strong Sad ==

Look carefully at Strong Sad's soolnds. He's gone back to an older design! (they're farther apart and don't have swirls) [[User:Shadoman|Shadoman]] 14:37, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
:SS's soolnds were also like this in the previous email as well. If a remark is made it should be on that email's page. {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 14:50, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

== What's Homestar saying? ==
And sorry to go off-topic, but what's Homestar saying? I was trying to write up the transcript, but I can't understand what he's saying after Strong Bad's bragging rights about the "Devil's Crapper". [[User:Shadoman|Shadoman]] 14:42, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
:He says "Hate to burst your bubble, man" {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 14:43, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

== Uhh... ==

Shouldn't there be a transcript by now? {{User:Neox/sig}} 14:54, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
:Someone, needs to volunteer to work on it first. You can write it if you want. {{User:Peter222/sig}} 14:56, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
::[[User:Shadoman|Shadoman]] is working on it (I think). Read above. {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 14:58, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
:::OK, the transcript's done. There may be a couple of errors, but hopefully it'll be fine. It's my first transcript anyway. [[User:Shadoman|Shadoman]] 15:16, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

== ] goof ==
This is off topic, yet somehow related to this email... When Strong Bad clears the screen after his marriage comment, the "]" flies off the Lappy and up the wall! This is an obvious goof. I'd put it up on the article myself, but I don't know just how to word it the right way... better than the way I just did. {{User:Neox/sig}} 15:07, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
:I put up a picture of the wall bracket goof, so people will be able to know what's meant anyway, but a better description would of course be welcome. --[[User:Mini-Geek|Mini-Geek]] 15:56, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

== No "Email" In Email Song ==

Shouldn't we mention that Strong Bad doesn't say "email" in his email song? It's been a while since that happened, too...
:I don't think it's notable. There's no rule that says he has to... {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 20:36, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
::In fact, here's a list of emails with intros that don't contain the word "email" or "sbemail" or something of the sort:
::*[[studying]]
::*[[tape-leg]]
::*[[spring cleaning]]
::*[[sb_email 22]]
::*[[1 step ahead]]
::*[[sisters]]
::*[[property of ones]]
::*[[invisibility]]

::*[[army]]
::*[[theme park]]
::*[[for kids]]

::*[[what I want]]
::*[[magic trick]]
::All in all, not very rare. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 20:50, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
:::Well that's 11.1 percent of the time where he doesn't mention email or sbemail in the song. I'd say that it's borderline rare, and maybe, if the sbemails were retired it might be worth mentioning. But in the present, as the number of mentions could increase or decrease, there's no sense mentioning this. --[[User:O98-111-114-113|O98-111-114-113]] 16:28, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
::::Not all that rare. 11% is still 11% of almost 200. I say, don't mention it. Oh, and I personally doubt that the number of mentions will decrease. The percentage might, but not the number. ;) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:48, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

== Illlllluuuuuuusion? ==

There has been some debate over whether the ending can be considered an instance of duplicate characters. Does it count? [[User:Sarette|Sarette]] 23:36, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
:Strong Mad's [[hiding]] place doesn't count because it's not actually a duplicate character. Neither is this. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:37, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
::I was wondering about this one myself when I saw the reverts going on. I had to go check the article to be sure. It seems to me the article on duplicate characters includes only cases where there's clearly two of the same character, not some fake version plus the real, so it seems this is not an example. Though how SS managed such a realistic version is hard to figure out... {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:59, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
:::I still say Strong Mad in hiding counts. Here? Not so sure; we KNOW (with context) that the alternate SS is fake. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:03, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

== Is *this* your card? ==

I think this may be a real-world reference to a trick Penn & Teller used to do on their home videos. You'd trick your friend into "randomly" picking a certain card, and then pretend to get the trick wrong by guessing another one. Then you'd sit down to watch TV (actually P&T's videotape) when a news anchor would break off in the middle of her broadcast to say, "By the way, IS THIS YOUR CARD?" holding up the card they took in the first place. The way SB delivered the line and held the card right up to the 'camera' is *very* much like the P&T version of the trick.
: It's too general. Lots of people that do card tricks say "Is ''this'' your card?" --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:04, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
::agreed. P&T say it as a parody of third-rate magicians. If it were a P&T reference, it would be the three of clubs (the card P&T always "randomly" pick) or at least the three of butts. [[User:Stev0|Stev0]] 02:09, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

== Harry Potter ==

''In the Easter Egg, D N'D Greg mentions Mandrake Powder. Mandrake is actually a real plant and is not exclusive to the fictional Harry Potter Universe.''

This is a good example of a bad fact. Mention what Mandrake IS. Don't say what it is NOT. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:11, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
: And just as I'm about to try to fix it, someone else removes the fact. Go figure. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:12, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
::I fixed it! {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 16:15, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

== Buddy? ==

I'm pretty sure I can definitely hear the word friend. If you listen closely at the saw part, you can definitely hear an "f" sound at the beginning. ~ [[User:MBD123|MBD123]]

MBD123: /* Worldy / Warbly */

== 2 things ==

1. Should the preview or whatever pic (the one at the top) have a caption that matches the scene it's in? 
2. I think the 'Unrecognizable Summer Movie Tie-in' sammich is shaped like a plane, not a star. (look at the 'fin' things on the sides). {{User:Einstein runner/sig}} 22:09, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
:1. I don't think it matters... 2. I didn't really try to interpret what that thing was very well, so change it if you want. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 22:11, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
:Actually, I thought the "Unrecognizable Summer Movie Tie-in" resembled one of Batman's throwing bats (which I learned yesterday are called "Glaives", kind of like a Shuriken, only bigger and able to return like a boomerang). I assumed it had to do with "The Dark Knight" coming out (It's kind of "The Sequel!" to Batman Begins). [[Special:Contributions/71.161.73.21|71.161.73.21]] 00:33, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

== Worldy / Warbly ==
Also, does Homestar say wordly or warbly at the end? {{User:Einstein runner/sig}} 22:21, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
:I heard Wordly [[User:Mista Mono|Mista Mono]] 22:23, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
::I heard Warbly. (I made the change to the transcript before seeing it was discussed here). {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 22:31, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
:::I heard Warbly ~ [[User:MBD123|MBD123]]

== Yella Paint ==
Why does Strong Bad have yellow stuff on his head during his discussion with Homestar? Are we to assume his sandwich-cicle had mustard on it? Or is this a referecne I'm not getting? {{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}} 23:04, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
:He has the mustard on his face. [[User:Mista Mono|Mista Mono]] 23:13, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

== put that thing through its paces/bases ==

I'm pretty sure Coach Z says put that thing through its paces, not bases (that is [http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/put+through+paces the phrase] after all).

Yeah but hes known to mess stuff up: ::by jaredtoy

:No, i hear paces. messing up here wouldn't be funny... He only messes up when it's funny. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 02:07, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

== They fixed it ==

I just watched it again and the previously changing sandwich is now a taste tested one throughout the whole short. I therefor changed the remark.--[[User:Cass from Germany|Cass from Germany]] 15:30, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

:Anyone have a mirrorable version of the un-fixèd toon? --[[User:Lukeonia1|Lukeonia1]] 20:38, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

== Nothing For Coach Z ==

I don't know if you guys want to add this or something, but I think Coach Z can't get anything not because of Bubs, because the King of Town ate everything. The napkin was all he had left.
:Yeah, that's the joke. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:07, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

== No easter eggs??? ==

It's been a while since there was a ''video'' (toon, short, sbemail, etc.) without any easter eggs. Now I would go and see when the last time was but as far as I can tell it was bottom 10.
:Actually, by a quick glance, the last time that I can tell was [[The Homestar Runner Gets Something Stuck In His Craw]]. It happens occasionally. After all, it's not ''required''. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:31, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

''{Strong Sad is standing in The Field, within a lemonade stand with a sign reading "<s>LEMONADE</s>Dusty Novels"; There are books in front of him with spiderwebs on them}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Nothin' beats the heat like a dusty, musty novel. Step right up and take home a tome.

''{Zoom out to reveal Homestar Runner standing near the stand}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Sad, you've had some bad ideas in your time. But ''this'' is the best idea you've ever had! ''{A faint jingle is heard in the background}'' You'll make millions!

''{The jingle gets louder}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{offscreen}'' BAH-lo-NEH!

''{As he speaks and holds the last syllable, Bubs drives his Baloney Sammich Truck into Strong Sad's booth, knocking both of them off screen}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh! It's the baloneym'n! ''{eagerly}'' What should I get, what should I get?

''{Cut to reveal a closer shot of Bubs and Homestar}''

'''BUBS:''' Brand new for this season! I got the unrecognizable ''{Holds up a baloney sandwich shaped like a plane with a face and a two at the front}'' summer movie tie-in sammich!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Which movie is it from?

''{Slight pause; Bubs takes a quick look at the sandwich and looks back at Homestar}''

'''BUBS:''' The sequel!

''{Homestar opens his mouth in surprise; A beep is heard, and the scene switches to a scene with Strong Bad and Bubs}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whaddya got that'll cool me cool me cool me down?

'''BUBS:''' I got this baloney sammich ''{Holds up a sandwich shaped like a double popsicle}'' shaped like a popsicle!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll take it! ''{Bubs hands the sandwich to Strong Bad, and Strong Bad starts speaking to the viewers}'' That should be enough to fool my brain. ''{Strong Bad takes the sandwich and starts rubbing it on his head}'' Oh yeah, that's the stuff.

''{The scene darkens, and an oval-like shape opens up in Strong Bad's head, revealing an "angel" and "devil" Strong Bad}''

'''DEVIL STRONG BAD:''' Y'see this guy? Rubbin' a sammich on his head?

'''ANGEL STRONG BAD:''' I know, I know...just let it go. You gotta pick your battles.

''{Another beep is heard, and the scene switches again to a scene with Homestar and Bubs, only from ''inside'' the Baloney Sammich truck}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I can't decide between the one with the gumball in the center, or the one shaped like there's a bite taken out of it.

''{Cut back to an outside view of the two's conversation}''

'''BUBS:''' Yeah...''shaped'' like there's a bite taken out of it.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah. Shaped like there's a bite taken out of it.

''{Cut to a closer view of Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{In a different tone}'' Yeeeeaaah. Shaped ''{Comes down hard on the -ed part of the word}'' like there's a bite taken out of it.

''{Cut to a close shot of Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, ''{angrily}'' shaped like there's a bite taken out of it!

''{Another close view of Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' Yea-

''{Bubs is cut off; A beep is heard and the scene transitions into one with The King of Town, who appears to be sinking very slowly, and Bubs}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' I'll take one of everything-

'''BUBS:''' Mhmmm.

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Two of everything-

'''BUBS:''' Yep.

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Three of everything-

'''BUBS:''' Okay.

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Y'got any "Five of everything"?

'''BUBS:''' I got ''six'' of those!

'''KING OF TOWN:''' And hurry it up, ''{Cut to a wider shot of the two, The King of Town seems to be melting in the foreground}'' I'm ''melting'' over here!

''{A beep is heard again, and the scene cuts to another with Homestar and Strong Bad; They are standing near the rear of the truck, with a bike behind them; Homestar has his hat on backwards, and Strong Bad has mustard smeared on his forehead}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What? You didn't hear man? Man, man. This kid, was doin' a flip on his 180. Busted his head, man. Busted his head.

''{Cut to closer view of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, ''what'' are you talking about?

''{Cut to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Summer talk.

''{Cut to original view}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And did this "head-busting" happen to anyone in particular?

''{Cut back to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{eyelids lower}'' No, summer talk! The kind of stuff that you talk about in the summer!

''{Cut to Strong Bad again; Cricket noises are heard}''

''{After a few seconds, noises stop; Cut back to the normal view of Homestar and Strong Bad}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{angrily}'' Kids getting hurt on bikes!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ohhhhh!

''{Another beep is heard; Cut to a scene with Coach Z ordering from the truck}''

'''COACH Z:''' I'll have a-

'''BUBS:''' I'm all out!

'''COACH Z:''' Well then what about the-

'''BUBS:''' I'm outta' that one too!

'''COACH Z:''' Ah, then gimme a-

'''BUBS:''' Nowhere to be found!

''{Zoom in on Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' All I got left is this thirty-two dollar napkin! ''{Holds up a napkin}''

'''COACH Z:''' Ooh! ''{Cut to a close view of Coach Z}'' I could really put that thing through its paces.

''{A beep is heard, and the scene transitions again; Strong Bad is walking away from the truck, while Homestar is looking at Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' Well that's it for this summer, kids. I gotta mosey on! I got an expired tag, expired license, and expired mayonnaise!

''{Bubs turns to the front of the truck; Cut to a shot of the other side of the truck while it drives off}''

'''BUBS:''' Ba-lo-ney!

''{Homestar starts to run after the departing truck and stops}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Farewell, baloneym'n! And may your warbly theme song serve as a reminder that you probably have a really sketchy past.

''{Zoom out to reveal Strong Sad, who has tire-like markings on his body, lying next to his broken novel stand}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{in pain}'' Ohh...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Seriously, Strong Sad, you'll make ''millions''!

''{A little bit of music is heard as the screen turns black, and the word "END" is written with each letter being a baloney sandwich; For a few seconds, Strong Sad can be heard groaning before the toon ends}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*A [[wiktionary:tome|tome]] is a large or scholarly book.

===Remarks===
* When the toon was first released, the lower-left sandwich changed several times during the toon. It was later changed so that it displayed the "Taste Tested" sandwich throughout the entire toon.
**Initially, it was labeled "Dog Food" sandwich, but was shaped like a normal baloney sandwich.
**Later on, this "Dog Food Sandwich" had bread in the shape of a dog bone.
**The only scene in which the "Taste Tested" sandwich originally appeared was when Bubs and Homestar were discussing it.
*The toons preview for this short doesn't show the line of mustard on Strong Bad's head and still has "Dog Food Sandwich" in the lower left corner.
*When Bubs is conversing with the King of Town, he has at least 36 of everything.

===Inside References===
*The Baloney Sammich Truck was first seen in [[Weclome Back!]], as Bubs' summer job, then seen again in [[Happy Dethemberween]] as the Dethemberween Thnikkaman's "unmarked" van.
*Bubs tries to sell Coach Z a [[Bubs's Napkins|napkin]].
*Homestar's pronunciation of Baloneyman is another example of [[M'n|"man" being pronounced as "m'n"]].
*Strong Bad's line "cool me cool me cool me down" is possibly a reference to his "hose me hose me hose me down" in [[couch patch]].

'''COACH Z:''' Ooh! ''{Cut to a close view of Coach Z}'' I could really put that thing through its paces.

''{A beep is heard, and the scene transitions again; Strong Bad is walking away from the truck, while Homestar is looking at Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' Well that's it for this summer, kids. I gotta mosey on! I got an expired tag, expired license, and expired mayonnaise!

''{Bubs turns to the front of the truck; Cut to a shot of the other side of the truck while it drives off}''

'''BUBS:''' Ba-lo-ney!

''{Homestar starts to run after the departing truck and stops}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Farewell, baloneym'n! And may your warbly theme song serve as a reminder that you probably have a really sketchy past.

''{Zoom out to reveal Strong Sad, who has tire-like markings on his body, lying next to his broken novel stand}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{in pain}'' Ohh...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Seriously, Strong Sad, you'll make ''millions''!

''{A little bit of music is heard as the screen turns black, and the word "END" is written with each letter being a baloney sandwich; For a few seconds, Strong Sad can be heard groaning before the toon ends}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*A [[wiktionary:tome|tome]] is a large or scholarly book.

===Remarks===
* When the toon was first released, the lower-left sandwich changed several times during the toon. It was later changed so that it displayed the "Taste Tested" sandwich throughout the entire toon.
**Initially, it was labeled "Dog Food" sandwich, but was shaped like a normal baloney sandwich.
**Later on, this "Dog Food Sandwich" had bread in the shape of a dog bone.
**The only scene in which the "Taste Tested" sandwich originally appeared was when Bubs and Homestar were discussing it.
*The toons preview for this short doesn't show the line of mustard on Strong Bad's head and still has "Dog Food Sandwich" in the lower left corner.
*When Bubs is conversing with the King of Town, he has at least 36 of everything.
*This is another instance of "man" being pronounced as "[[m'n]]."

===Inside References===
*The Baloney Sammich Truck was first seen in [[Weclome Back!]], as Bubs' summer job, then seen again in [[Happy Dethemberween]] as the Dethemberween Thnikkaman's "unmarked" van.
*Bubs tries to sell Coach Z a [[Bubs's Napkins|napkin]].
*Homestar's pronunciation of Baloneyman is another example of [[M'n|"man" being pronounced as "m'n"]].
*Strong Bad's line "cool me cool me cool me down" is possibly a reference to his "hose me hose me hose me down" in [[couch patch]].

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' I baked you this special email! It has... raisins.

<blockquote class="lappy email">

<div>subject: Diorama</div>
Hey Strong Bad, 
I have to do some crappy, really stupid diorama this year. 
I want it to be bloody and gory, but it has to be "Middle 
School Appropriate", or whatever. Got any tips? 
Molly T. 
Charlotte, N.C.
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "Charlotte, N.C." as "Charlotte, Not Charlotte".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, it's like you're no place! ''{typing}'' So you're telling me that Ms. Charbroiledburger, or whoever actually told you to make a crappy, really stupid diorama for an assignment? Now ''that's'' what I call edjakashun!! ''{clears screen}'' No sense in thinking about this one until you're on the bus on the way to school the morning it's due. Then it's time to whip out my old standby-orama:

''{Cut to the desk, where a diorama with pencils, pens, an eraser and a bottle of glue inside falls down}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The Whimsical World of School Supplies!

''{Cut back to the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' But dioramas shouldn't be wasted, Mollyman. This is probably the only school-approved opportunity to melt small plastic animals and shame our beloved literary characters that you're ever gonna get. I say embrace it! I say deface it!! ''{clears screen}'' Here are my tips: first off, behind every good diorama is an even gooder shoebox. So unless you wanna get called The Stride-Rite Kid for the rest of your life, you better go buy a pair of the

''{Cut to the desk. A red shoebox with "Air Cardgage" white-and-skyblue logo printed on its cover slides in from the right}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' coolest, most expensive shoes on the market.

''{A pricetag with "37899" written on it appears with a ding}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Or at least modify a ''{a lime green shoebox with "Dr. Soft-[[Soolnd]]'s Tan Medical Shoes" written on it slides from the right in front of the Air Cardgage box}'' box of cheapo, generico shoes to look expensive.

''{Strong Sad's hand slaps a piece of paper with "Slam-Dunking" written on it on the shoebox}''

''{Cut out to see the Air Cardgage box, scissors and a hot glue gun. Strong Bad walks in from the right}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now let's talk about topics. If the assignment calls for a science diorama, just slap some glue on some cotton balls and BANG!

''{Cut to the Air Cardgage diorama, where a field and sky has been drawn}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The effects of cumulonimbus clouds ''{cotton balls appear in the sky, forming a cloud-like shape}'' on sheep, ''{sheep made out of cotton balls appear on the ground}'' snowmen, ''{a snowman made out of cotton balls appears on the right}'' aaaaand... cotton... balls. ''{a pile of cotton balls appear on the left}'' But if you're out of cotton balls, real chunks ''{The cotton balls transform to become more "jaggedy" and some of them gain red stains}'' of the King of Town's beard make a great substitute.

''{A blood trace trickles down from the beardcloud}''

''{Cut to the King Of Town, whose beard has been gruesomely ripped}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' To be fair, I did eat all the cotton balls.

''{Cut back to the desk with Strong Bad, the Air Cardgage diorama, scissors, hot glue gun, colored paper and glue bottle}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' If you need to make some historical diorama, there's only one way to go: presidential assassinations.

''{Cut close to the desk, where a Dr. Soft-Soolnd's Slam-Dunking Shoes diorama slides in from the left}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' You can immortalize such tragic moments in U.S. history ''{a cardboard White House appears in the background}'' as... the robot that effortlessly offed Jimmy Carter. ''{a robot made out of a toilet paper roll and Jimmy Carter doll made out of a clothespin appear. The robot's lights start to twinkle with computer-like sound effects}'' And if it's a book report diorama you're doing,

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' the easiest way to get around reading an actual book is to make one up yourself! I can't tell you how many dioramas I got out of

''{Cut to the Air Cardgage diorama, now with a purple sky, a sun and the King Of Town's castle the background plus King Of Town and a half-eaten Swiss Cake Roll in the foreground}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The King Of Town's Adventures in Giant Cockroachland! ''{a sizeable number of cockroaches swarm around the Swiss Cake Roll, bashing King Of Town down}'' Books one through seven.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Though with the Internet, it's probably easier for teachers to check your sources than in my day. To get away with that now, you'd also have to make

''{Cut to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' A fake website for the book, ''{a website at www.bookazon.com appears, displaying information about "The King Of Town's Adventures in Giant Cockroachland" by Ronmartin Realdude}'' and the author, ''{a bio and a silhouette with a question mark appear next to the book information}'' and the publisher, ''{a logo for Actual Publishing Company appears in the bottom of the screen}'' and just to be safe, ''{Download the eBook Now -button appears on the screen}'' maybe go ahead and actually write the book.

''{The badly done cover for KoT's Cockroach Book appears}''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Man. It's gotten so hard to cheat these days!

''{The Cheat walks past in the background, carrying the Lappy}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Finally, let me address your concerns about blood and gore. There's an easy loophole to exploit here, Molly. A little something I like to call... uh-dinosaurs. No teacher can argue,

''{Cut to an Air Cardgage diorama, with a prehistoric setting}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' that an Allosaurus ''{an Allosaurus appears}'' tearing apart its prey ''{a rubber duck appears}'' is bound to be pretty gruesome. ''{spaghetti and pasta sauce appears on the duck, on the ground and in the Allosaurus' mouth}'' And if that prey ''{rubber duck disappears}'' just happens to be the signers of The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, ''{a table and four clothespin people appear}'' well that's bound to be pretty messed up too. ''{pasta sauce and spaghetti appears on the people}''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad, looking at his diorama, smiling}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man, that is too awesome. I gotta get in on that action.

''{Cut back to the prehistoric Air Cardgage diorama}''

''{Peanut Strong Bad walks in, holding a cocktail sword with an olive}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, take that, Nicholas Trist, representative for president James K. Polk! I'll teach ''you'' to mess with my Rio Grande! And my Rio Bravo! ''{Peanut Strong Bad pokes and hits the Nicholas Trist clothespin}''

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well Mollybdenum, you think you got enough to go on? You're gonna dioRAM their socks off! Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go help that robot vaporize The Old Public Functionary!

''{Strong Bad leaves, geddup noise}''

''{Cut to the green diorama, where the toilet paper robot is shooting a clothespin person. Peanut Strong Bad is standing by him}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Come on, Boltotron! Hit him with the Byoo-Cannon!

''{A toilet paper roll with "Byoo-Cannon" written on it descends from above}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Byoo byo-byoo byoo byo-byo-byoo! ''{the Byoo-Cannon shoots red lights at the clothespin person}''

''{The New Paper comes down}''

==Easter Eggs==
* At the end, click the "Byoo-cannon" to see a clip with Senor Cardgage.
*:'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' ''{holding a shoe in one hand and a basketball in the other}'' Oh. Hello-quialism. ''{looks at what he's holding}'' Who are these guys?
*:''{Cut to an image of the shoe alone}''
*:'''ANNOUNCER''': All new 2008 Air Cardgage! Only 249.99.99.99! ''{A price tag appears with that price on it.}'' Only at Styles Upon Styles!
*:''{Cut back to Senor Cardgage}''
*:'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' This is not what I sagged on for. ''{The words also appear in a speech bubble next to his head.}''

* Also at the end, click Peanut Strong Bad to see a clip of Coach Z holding a notepad with a cell phone drawn on it.
*:'''COACH Z:''' Well hey there Ronmartin Realdude. It's the big Z, just giving you a call on my new cell phone. What's that you say? Well I sure am flattered, Ronmartin, but I've already got a gorgeous girlfriend name o' Marzipan.

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*The [[Wikipedia:Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo|Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo]] was the treaty that ended the [[Wikipedia:Mexican-American War|Mexican-American War]]. [[Wikipedia:Nicholas Trist|Nicholas Trist]] was indeed [[Wikipedia:James K. Polk|President Polk's]] representative at the negotiations.
**Strong Bad's comment "I'll teach you to mess with my [[Wikipedia:Rio Grande|Rio Grande]]" references the dispute between Mexico and the United States over the border of Texas which was the alleged cause of the war. Texas claimed the border was the Rio Grande, while Mexico claimed it was the Nueces River.
**The Rio Grande is known as the Rio Bravo in Mexico.
*[[wikipedia:Molybdenum|Molybdenum]] is a lead-like transition metal found in nature. Its symbol on the periodic table of elements is Mo.
* "The Old Public Functionary" was a [[Wikipedia:List of United States Presidential names#15 — James Buchanan|popular nickname]] for [[Wikipedia:James Buchanan|President James Buchanan]].
*[[Wikipedia:Cumulonimbus|Cumulonimbus]] clouds are a type of cloud that is tall, dense, and involved in thunderstorms and other intense weather.
*An [[Wikipedia:Allosaurus|allosaurus]] is a late Jurassic carnivorous dinosaur, similar to but somewhat smaller than the tyrannosaurus.

Anyway, I'm the kind of guy who likes to go around reducing the numbers of links that have too many links, adding links to things that should be linked to, and fixing errors that have to do with speling, or, grammar?.

I have never written an article on here. Never. I'm not fast enough to get one started or attentive enough to write a transcript. I always like adding in extra info to articles that are already written, and I may make a couple of redirect articles some time in my WikiLife.

The wiki I am most [http://www.miralus.com/activon.php active on] happens to be good ol' WikiHow! I have also promised myself that I am going to put my Make-o your own Stinko comic series on the HRFWiki. That promise still has not been fulfilled *sigh*

I'm making a website with my own Flash cartoons on it. Keep an eye out for it!

Portmanteaus

MBD123 — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 02:06:38 GMT

MBD123: /* Portmanteaus in SBCG4AP Dev Blog */ New one!

'''[[Wikipedia:Portmanteau|Portmanteaus]]''' (or '''portmanteaux''') are commonly used in the [[Homestar Runner universe]]. A portmanteau is a combination of two words to make a third, often going against the accepted traditions of how words are compounded. The term originally referred to a man's travel bag which contained two main pockets. Portmanteaus were first given that name by [[Wikipedia:Lewis Carroll|Lewis Carroll]] to describe "slithy" in the poem [[Wikipedia:Jabberwocky|Jabberwocky]], a combination of "lithe" and "slimy".

[[Strong Bad]] and [[Senor Cardgage]], especially, frequently create portmanteaus. [[The Brothers Chaps]] also often use portmanteaus when providing captions for [[Sketchbook]] and [[Weekly Fanstuff]] entries.

This article only lists portmanteaus unique to the Homestar Runner universe.

== Fun Facts ==
===10 Jun 2008===
*Strong Bad mentions a giant novelty toothbrush, which was also mentioned by Homestar Runner in [[from work]].
*[[Wikipedia:Lemonade Stand|''Lemonade Stand'']] is an early educational computer program, where players had to set the price for their lemonade depending on conditions.
*Strong Bad's request for the manual is because, like many [[Wikipedia:Sierra Entertainment|Sierra]] games of the era, the game would periodically ask for certain words or facts from the manual as a form of copy protection.
**[[WIkipedia:Sutter's Mill|Sutter's Mill]] was built in 1847.
*Phensics is a [[Portmanteaus|portmanteau]].

===04 Jun 2008===
*Entry includes examples of [[deliberately poor English]].

===21 May 2008 ===
*Strong Bad refers to bull[[style]].
*Strong Bad also says that the "Smelly Guy" has "several months' worth of empty cans of [[Minor Foods#Bull Honkey|Bull Honkey]].
*Strong Bad's concept art was seen at the end of the [[SBCG4AP Advertisement]].

===14 May 2008===
*The game Strong Bad is complaining about is ''[[Wikipedia:Pitfall II: Lost Caverns|Pitfall II: Lost Caverns]]''. Frogs and balloons were two of the new features in the game, as well as unlimited lives.
*Strong Bad should know that the "silver french horn" is a scorpion, as he positively identified it as such in the commentary of [[In Search of the Yello Dello]].
*"Endinning" is a [[portmanteau]] of "end" (or "ending") and "beginning."

=== 24 Apr 2008 ===
*Strong Bad alters a screenshot from the game and claims that it's a dating sim featuring [[Wikipedia:Kate Pierson|Kate Pierson]] of [[Wikipedia:The B-52's|the B-52's]].
*One of Strong Bad's fake screencaps reveals that Homestar's innards are filled with "Strawberry Quik". "Quik" was the original name of [[Wikipedia:Nestlé|Nestlé]]'s flavored milk drink [[Wikipedia:Nesquik|Nesquik]].
*Strong Bad claims to launch a "heat-seeking [[Wikipedia:Three Stooges|3-Stooges]] eye-poker missile" in his game. The hallmark slapstick comedy of the Stooges often included eye-poking.

=== 17 Apr 2008 ===

*''[[Wikipedia:Mig 29 Soviet Fighter|Mig 29 Soviet Fighter]]'' is an unlicensed game for the [[Nintendo#NES|NES]]. The switch on the back of the game triggers a [http://kevtris.org/mappers/lockout/camerica.html voltage spike] intended to temporarily disable the NES's [[Wikipedia:10NES|lock-out chip]] so that the unlicensed game can be played on an official console.
*Strong Bad [[Strong Bad's Spelling|uses "it's" in place of "its"]] even though he considers people who do this to be [[local news|scalawags]].

=== 10 Apr 2008 ===

*The blocky 3D Strong Bad head in the [[Wikipedia:Sudoku|sudoku]] puzzmaster picture is most likely a reference to [[Wikipedia:Dr. Kawashima|Dr. Kawashima's]] representation in the [[Wikipedia:Brain Age|Brain Age]] series, which included sudoku in the North American version of its first installment. Dr. Kawashima's head also sometimes used an expression similar to Strong Bad's in the game.
**[[Wikipedia:NPR|NPR]]'s program [[Wikipedia:Weekend Edition|Weekend Edition Sunday]] includes a weekly segment with [[Wikipedia:Will Shortz|Will Shortz]], puzzle constructor (including [http://nymag.com/arts/all/features/17244/ Sudoku]), [[Wikipedia:The New York Times|New York Times]] puzzle editor, and referred to by NPR as the "[http://www.npr.org/templates/people/?typeId=1#S Puzzlemaster]".
*Strong Bad's idea of a "flame cubicle" in the Telltale offices gets "[[SBLOUNSKCHED!]]"
*The title makes a reference to the book [http://www.amazon.com/Nobody-Listens-Andrew-Elizabeth-Guilfoile/dp/0590093185 ''Nobody Listens to Andrew''].
*Unlike the other dev blog images, the [[Videlectrix:vii/puzzmaster.jpg|puzzmaster image]] is hosted on the [[Viidelectrix]] site.

''{Strong Bad says "Hmm. Sounds like a solid deal!" after "hot girl." He pronounces "luncch" as "lunkch" and pronounces "sincerly" as written.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, I hate it when they don't put a name. And when they misspell "sincerely." "Luncch" ''{pronounced as before}'' doesn't bother me so much.

''{Strong Bad backspaces and erases the last two lines, then types out two new ones and reads them.}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background-image:none">Keep on tranglin, 
Larry Pat</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well Larry, legend has it that Bubs has to give you a free lunch special if you can get him to say his name backwards - minus the first b. "Sbu." You have to get him to say, "Sbu." How hard could that be, right? I mean, I'm saying "sbu" all the time. This'll be a cakewalk. At least a sbu-walk.

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand. A sign that reads "Super Chinese Fish Buffalo Rice—Smoothies Too!" is hanging over the "Bubs' Concession Stand" marquee. Bubs is inside holding a chicken in one arm and wiping it with a cloth. Strong Bad enters.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{sings}'' Shinin' up a chicken in the mo'nin', mo'nin'...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Bubs... Read this sign for me. ''{holds up a sign}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{He squints at the sign, then reads slowly.}'' "Duck A L'Orange."

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? ''{He spins the sign around and reads it. Indeed, it says, "Duck A L'Orange." He produces a walkie-talkie.}'' The Cheat, I thought I told you to make it say "sbu"!

''{The screen splits down the center. On the right is Strong Bad. On the left is The Cheat, who also has a walkie talkie and is sitting next to Strong Bad's computer. A piece of paper pinned to the back wall says "Home Base" and has a Strong Badified skull and crossbones drawn on it.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{assorted The Cheat sounds}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, you really want some duck a l'orange, huh? You know we can't afford to eat like that! ''{He looks to the side, then puts his hand near his mouth to hide his voice.}'' Aren't you a duck anyways?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{angry The Cheat sounds}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I dunno. You kinda remind me of a duck...

''{The screen fades to black. Fade back in to the Concession Stand. Strong Bad enters holding a mirror.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Bubbsie! Say your name into this mirror. ''{He holds up the mirror.}''

'''BUBS:''' Bubs!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, hold on. ''{He puts the mirror closer to Bubs's face.}'' Okay, say it again. Say it ''real'' clear this time.

'''BUBS:''' ''{slower}'' Buh-ubs.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, this thing is worthless!

''{Strong Bad smashes the mirror on the ground and walks away.}''

''{Fade to black again. Fade back in to the Concession Stand. This time, Coach Z is there ordering something.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Gimme a basket of double hot wings, pants down, a couple of egg rolls... ''{He slams his hands to the countertop and speaks forcefully.}'' ...and a cod plank platter!

'''BUBS:''' You got it!

''{Strong Bad walks up and throws a hose into the stand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{shouting off to the side}'' All right, The Cheat! Crank it! ''{water starts pouring through the hose}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{annoyed}'' Can I help you?

''{simultaneously}'' 
'''COACH Z:''' I think he's flooding you out. 
'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm flooding you out! 
''{They stop and stare at each other.}''

''{simultaneously}'' 
'''COACH Z:''' I think he— 
'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm floo— 
''{They stop and stare at each other again, and Strong Bad puts his hand in front of Coach Z.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm flooding you out until you say your name backwards minus the first B!

'''BUBS:''' Why are you trying to get me to say "sbu"?

'''STRONG BAD:''' THERE! You said it! Now you gotta give me a free lunch special!

'''BUBS:''' ''{shakes his head}'' No, no, no. Getting me to say my name backwards minus the B just makes me lose my super power!

'''STRONG BAD:''' What super power?

'''BUBS:''' Being able to fly.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You can fly?!

'''BUBS:''' Well... ''{He hangs his head down.}'' Not anymore I can't.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Right.

'''BUBS:''' Eh, I never really used it all that much. Since I gained all this weight, I could really only hover a couple two or three inches above the ground anyways.

''{Coach Z slams his hands to the countertop and looks around and speaks frantically.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Either of you ladies gonna get me my cod plank platter?!?

''{Back to the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I'm pretty sure Bubs is a big liar, but I did get him to say his name backwards minus the first B. So now you gotta show me a hot girl, Larry Pat. Or, buy me lunch. Or... whatever the deal was. I'll just go ahead and sit here and wait for the hot girl to appear on my screen, I guess. ''{stops typing, speaks quietly}'' Not like I got a whole lot else going on...mmm.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. A few seconds later, the computer beeps and a new e-mail scrolls up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh, an email!

''{Strong Bad reads the email, talking slowly and pronouncing each word just as it is written.}''

<blockquote class="email">Deur Strond bad, 
I hava a emau] n ow. Cheet helps. 
 
Stlong Mad 
 
''attachment''</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, looks like ol' Strong Mad has finally hit the Information Superhighway like a flaming sack o' crap. Oh, and there's an attachment! Maybe he sent me a picture of a hot girl. [[Image:dinosaurbreakfast.PNG|thumb|A fairly hot Brontosaurus.]]

''{Strong Bad double-clicks on the word "attachment" underneath the email. A very poorly drawn picture of a dinosaur standing by a plate of bacon and eggs and a glass of orange juice, all in front of a volcano, pops up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{monotone}'' An MS Paint drawing of a Brontosaurus having breakfast. ''{ends monotone}'' Well... It's a fairly hot Brontosaurus anyhow! ''{talking softly}'' Well hey, what's happenin' Brontosaurus baby... What are you doing—Okay I gotta get out of the house!

''{Strong Bad gets up and runs away.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
[[Image:Cheatsmile1.PNG|thumb|"...do dooo dooo dooooo..."]]
*Click on the words "Larry, legend" to see a screenshot of the game ''Jordan vs. Bird: One-on-One'' for the [[Nintendo|NES]].
*After the Paper comes down, but before Strong Mad's email comes up, click on the word "Bubs" to see The Cheat lounging in the flooded concession stand as [[The Brothers Chaps]] sing to the tune of "[[Wikipedia:Aloha 'Oe|Aloha 'Oe]]".
*Also after the Paper comes down, but before Strong Mad's email comes up, click on the word ''liar'' to see Bubs hovering above the ground:
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Oh man, that is so fake. Seriously. You can totally see the strings!

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*The [[Wikipedia:Information superhighway|Information Superhighway]] was a term used to refer to the Internet up until the early 1990s.

===Trivia===
*When The Cheat is next to [[Compy 386]], it reads:
<blockquote class="email" style="background-image:none">Kickin' Recipes For 
Duck A L'Orange 
 
- 1 orange duck 
- 2 oranges 
- 3 frenchies 
- 4 ovens 
- 5 heats 
- 6 coupons 
 
Go to Captain D's 
Order the Snow C 
Tell your friends 
really Duck A L' 
It'll work!</blockquote>

===Remarks===
*This is another case of [[Compy 386]] acquiring a mouse cursor, despite the fact that it does not have a mouse and no cursor is normally seen.
*The Brontosaurus has actually been renamed [[Wikipedia:Apatosaurus|Apatosaurus]].
*Strong Mad's email contains a use of The Cheat's name without the [[integral article]]. However, this is likely due to Strong Mad's poor grammar skills.

===Goofs===
*The MS Paint drawing of a Brontosaurus eating breakfast is not affected by the contrast buttons. However, the screen behind it is.
*When Strong Bad angrily throws the mirror at the ground, Bubs's reflection can still be seen in the mirror, but with no body.
*In the Easter Egg with the Cheat floating in Bubs' Concession Stand, the hose seems to be floating above the counter instead of resting on it. Also, the hose's shadow does not expand when the hose expands as more water passes through.
*When Bubs is holding the notepad (taking Coach Z's order), the paper folded to the back is from behind the rest of pages instead of in front of them.

===Inside References===
*The author of the email seems to be referring to the lunch specials at the end of [[no loafing]].
*The [[Cold One]] that The Cheat is lounging with in the Easter egg is a Coldson Lite, first seen in [[labor day]].
*This e-mail marks the second time The Cheat has been mistaken for a bird of some kind, the other being in [[helium]], in which Homestar identified the floating, helium-filled The Cheat as "an ugly bird."
*In [[big white face]], the runcode for the pixelated Bubs image Strong Bad brings up is "Bu-Hubs", which is how Bubs "clearly pronounces" his name in this email.
*This is another appearance of [[flying]].
*Coach Z orders his double hot wings [[pants]] down.

===Real-World References===
*The "Larry, legend" Easter egg refers to [[Wikipedia:Larry Bird|Larry Bird]], a former player for the [[Wikipedia:Boston Celtics|Boston Celtics]]. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest [[Wikipedia:NBA|NBA]] players ever and is often referred to as "Larry Legend" by his fans.
*Getting Bubs to say his name backwards (minus the first 'B') sounds like a spoof of [[Wikipedia:Mr. Mxyzptlk|Mr. Mxyzptlk]], a mischief-making villain from the Superman comics. In order to get the reality-warping imp to go back to his home dimension, Superman had to trick Mxyzptlk into saying his name backwards.
*The [[Wikipedia:walkie-talkie|walkie-talkies]] used by Strong Bad and The Cheat are World War II portable radios.
*[[Wikipedia:Captain D's|Captain D's]] is a chain of fast-food stores that sells seafood.
*[[Wikipedia:MS Paint|MS Paint]] is a small utility that ships with [[Wikipedia:Microsoft Windows|Microsoft Windows]].

===Fast Forward===
*The word "sbu" shows up in Strong Bad's list of 3-letter words in [[boring (really)#Fun Facts|boring (really)]].
*In [[the facts]], Strong Mad shows his love for [[dinosaurs]] again through [[Doug the Dino]].
*In [[Strongest Man in the World]], the picture Strong Bad gives Homestar is signed at first as "Strond Ba...", almost the same as Strong Mad's email.

==DVD Version==
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

('''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]], [[Ryan Sterritt]])

'''RYAN:''' I think we're ready.

'''MATT:''' um, what do you guys think of this preposition—

'''MIKE:''' Matt and I made this email, guys. Matt and I made this cartoon. What do you think?

'''RYAN:''' I think you guys are...you got something.

''{Mike laughs}''

'''RYAN:''' I'm not afraid to say that you guys are very good.

''{Mike laughs again}''

'''RYAN:''' Keep on "keepin' on". Keep on.

'''MIKE:''' Keepin' on? Keep on.

'''RYAN:''' That was a ''Family Ties'' slogan.

'''MIKE:''' Really?

'''RYAN:''' They had like—

'''MIKE:''' Really? Nice.

'''RYAN:''' ''Nick At Night'' showed a bunch in a row.

'''MIKE:''' Oh.

'''RYAN:''' And all the commercials are "keep on keepin' on"

''{Mike and Matt laugh}''

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

'''MIKE:''' I was gonna be impressed if they had done that back in 1987 or something.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Oh it was on retro stuff or retrothon like that.

'''RYAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Oh so super Chinese—

'''MIKE:''' super Chinese fish buffalo rice is pretty much...There was a place by the Braves Stadium that we were driving by one time. And there are several restaurants around Atlanta that are—

'''MATT:''' It's a trend, I think, in all metro areas.

'''MIKE:''' —like buffalo wings. Chinese food and—

'''MATT:''' there's one that was called "Philly", "Philly...", "Philly...wing", "Philly wing rice". "Philly wing fish" I think, and underneath it said it says "Chinese food".

''{Mike laughs}''

'''MATT:''' So, yeah, we were missing "Philly cheese steaks" because that seems to be...that seems to be a part. It's just wings, Chinese food, Philly cheese steaks, fish, fried fish, rice.

'''MIKE:''' Sign me up—

'''RYAN:''' Fried chicken.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Sign me up.

'''MATT:''' I'm in.

'''RYAN:''' What's not to trust about it?

'''MATT:''' Exactly.

'''RYAN:''' I bet there's a gravy that you can get to put over all of it.

'''MIKE:''' MMMmmm.

'''MATT:''' That sounds good. Gravy?

'''RYAN:''' Cod plank platter—

'''MATT:''' Let's go for lunch today, guys. We haven't had lunch today yet. Let's go get a cod plank platter

'''RYAN:''' What is a cod plank platter? I had to ask—

'''MATT:''' ''{different voice}'' Back to Red Lobster, boys.

''{Everyone laughs}''

'''MATT:''' Red Lobster Friday!

'''RYAN:''' Uh—

'''MATT:''' Uh, so were you gonna comment on how great that uh, hose thing towards the camera was, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Yes.

'''RYAN:''' I like it.

'''MIKE:''' I was gonna wonder about how long you spent—

'''MATT:''' Probably two to three hours while you finished the rest of the email—

'''RYAN:''' Yeah, this is the point of contention that whenever Matt leaves the room, Mike always complains about how, how detailed the animations are.

'''MIKE:''' It's good—

'''MATT:''' We're trying to finish. It's three in the morning. Isn't that good?

'''MIKE:''' It is good.

'''RYAN:''' Quality artwork.

'''MIKE:''' It's good ''now''.

'''RYAN:''' yeah. It's not good—

'''MIKE:''' At four in the morning on Sunday. I'd rather you make a really crappy—looking hose. ''{laughs}''. Oh, by the way, this one— it's not gonna be on the commentary, but the Easter egg on this one where it shows The Cheat floating inside—

'''MATT:''' Uh huh.

'''MIKE:''' right, Bubs' Concession Stand on the inner tube. That is, by far, my favorite Easter egg or just scene that still just looks like— nice ripples.

'''MATT:''' It's your fine—

'''MIKE:''' It's so relaxing.

'''MATT:''' It's your finest moment. It's almost as relaxing as, yeah, as—

'''MATT AND MIKE:''' Taking a break.

'''MIKE:''' Awww, that makes me depressed for Strong Bad.

'''MIKE:''' ''{quickly}'' and me.

''{pause}''

'''RYAN:''' And me?

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' We still going here? ''{cough}''

'''RYAN:''' This might be a delayed—

'''MATT AND MIKE:''' oh, look at that!

'''MATT:''' This is that one where we've got this whole part where it's Stlong Mad—

'''MIKE:''' The Uh...

'''RYAN:''' Great MS Paint drawing.

'''MIKE:''' —Dinosaur. I wanted to keep doing this, like have, you know, weekly or semi—weekly feature of Strong Mad's bad MS Paint drawings.

'''RYAN:''' You got a lot of images we could put on there. Isn't that on the DVD, where there was extra emails? This is from that.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, here it is. Here's 102B. ''{laugh}'' Look at that thing! That thing's amazing.

'''RYAN:''' People have their own versions of that drawing.

'''MATT AND MIKE:''' Really?

'''RYAN:''' Uh huh.

'''MIKE:''' People still use MS Paint.

'''RYAN:''' A lot.

'''MATT:''' and see this is even more depressing. Strong Bad starts hitting on that MS Paint Brontosaurus

'''MIKE:''' Good lookin'

'''MATT:''' A low point for Strong Bad—

'''RYAN:''' —Is that OJ?

'''MATT:''' So he runs off.

'''RYAN:''' Yeah.

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Your eyes, ''{holds up a lit orange and green candle with a label saying "Sandalwood Sage Sunset" in his left hand}'' they flicker like a Sandalwood Sage Sunset. ''{puts his hand back down.}'' Your hair flows like Fresh Cotton Linens ''{holds up a lit white candle with a label saying "Fresh Cotton Linens" in his right hand}'' hung to dry on the deck. ''{puts his hand down, holds up a lit brown candle with a label saying "Grandma's Apple Cinnamon Spice" in his left hand}'' Grandma's Apple Cinnamon Spice is the scented candle I would use to describe your mouth. ''{puts his hand back down}'' And your nose: like an unscented emergency candle ''{holds up a white, unlabeled candle in his left hand}'' for when the power goes out.

''{Cut back to the classroom}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{Cut back to the classroom}''

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

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

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Elizabethan era|Elizabethan]] is late 16th century England, coinciding with the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. It is considered the first great era of English poetry and literature, producing authors like [[Wikipedia:William Shakespeare|Shakespeare]]. The language of the time is now considered archaic.
*The "removing of random letters" Strong Bad refers to is done in poems in order to maintain a strict [[Wikipedia:Meter (poetry)|poetic meter]].
*Tenerence Love's overweight "R&B make-out jam" is a reference to soul singers such as [[Wikipedia:Barry White|Barry White]] and [[Wikipedia:Luther Vandross|Luther Vandross]], who were overweight but still attractive to female audiences.

===Trivia===
*Homestar's "lavishly produced grocery list" actually resembles an [[Wikipedia:Acrostic|acrostic]] poem.

===Remarks===
*The shadows offset on "-Elizabethan" and "-Kimberlian" slightly change when "-Meredithian" comes on screen.
**"-Elizabethan" also slightly moves as "-Kimberlian" is added.

===Inside References===
*Homestar mentions his [[lack of visible arms]], and Strong Bad's poem describes noses.
*Homestar's poem has each letter of Marzipan's name capitalized, except for one [[Lowercase i's|lowercase i]].
*Homestar describes [[Not X|not]]-organic apples.
*Meredith's line echoes [[The Ugly One]]'s line, "I have a crush on every boy!", from [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]].
*The background music from [[caffeine]] is used during the Easter Egg while Strong Sad is sitting restlessly.
*The background music during Strong Bad and Homestar's love poem examples was previously heard in [[do over]] and [[Date Nite]].
*Cheerleader's shirt reads "poifect", another instance of [["Er" pronounced as "Oi"]].
*The Easter egg references Brunswick [[Stew]], first mentioned in [[New Boots]].
*Strong Bad mentions [[Parents|grandparents]].
*Homestar admits that [[Homestar Runner and Marzipan's Relationship#Homestar and Marzipan Breaking Up|Marzipan broke up with him]].
*Homestar's list is made entirely up of [[Nondescript Nouns]]

=== Real-World References ===
*[[Wikipedia:Sky Mall|Sky Mall]] is an airline catalog from which passengers can order various items after leaving the plane, or by use of airplane telephones. Most of the items in the catalog are gadgets and things that would appeal to those with higher incomes.
*"I herly perly on gerly wurly" is a reference to a lyric in the [[Wikipedia: Manfred Mann's Earth Band|Manfred Mann's Earth Band]] rendition of [[Wikipedia: Blinded by the Light|"Blinded By the Light"]] that was orginally performed by [[Wikipedia: Bruce Springsteen|Bruce Springsteen]]. The lyric is "And little Early-Pearly came by in his curly-wurly."
*The Strong Bad Phone is similar in concept to the [[Wikipedia:Bat phone|Bat phone]], a device Commissioner Gordon used to contact [[Batman]] in time of need.

== Fun Facts ==

''* At the end of the clip, the sheep in the background continues chewing, even though the camera is set on "PAUSE."''

I think that's just looping, but if other people think it's a fun fact...--[[User:Hysterical Woman|Hysterical Woman]] 17:36, 19 Nov 2004 (MST)

Chew, chew, chew at will, Sheep!Even though it's over!--[[User:Gir007|Gir007]] 20:46, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

== Marzipan's Dad? ==

According to the really old characters page, in the museum, it states that the KOT is actually Marzipan's dad.
:Yes, we know. It's one of the most hotly debated things on the Wiki. Personally, I don't see any reason to doubt it, but some would argue that it's not true. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]
::We don't think it's true BECAUSE THE BROTHER CHAPS SAID IT WASN'T. They decided against it.
:::Exactly!!! Why do people keep on saying she is when TBC said it was a scrapped idea! [[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]]
:If that was true, Marzipan would be the princess of town, and Homestar would (if they ever got married) become the prince of town. Weird, huh? [[User:Stramstar Hummer|Stramstar Hummer]]
::It would also mean that when the king of town died, homstar would be king of town. Creepy... {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 21:55, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
:::Not necessarily. For example, the husband of the [[Wikipedia:Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom|queen of England]] is not king unless he is already has a claim to the throne in his own right; when he does not, he is a [[Wikipedia:Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh|prince consort]]. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:35, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
::::I suppose it all depends on the laws of succession in Free Country USA. Then again, the fact that nobody seems to recognize the KOT's reign as legit means that it probably doesn't matter anyway. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 22:42, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
:::::Who cares if the TBC decided against it, it's still good trivia that he was originally going to be Marzipan's dad. [[User:The Pony man|The Pony man]] 21:14, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
::::::It is, and it's mentioned on the page under "Fun Facts". This was a discussion from over two years ago though. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 21:30, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

== Decemberween ==

How can we be sure that the King of Town played by Homestar is the same King? It might well have taken place centuries ago, under the reign of a different King. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]

== King of Prussia? ==

I found this on the [[Wikipedia:King of Prussia, Pennsylvania]] page. Note the line "Residents often refer to King of Prussia in print as "KoP", and in conversation as "K.O.P." I couldn't help but think about the KOT when I read that. Is this notable for the article? [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 13:12, 8 Jan 2005 (MST)
:In the since that it has hardly anythign to do with a king of a town, it only has a resemblance to the abreviated "K.O.T", not realy, interesting trivial idea though. [[User:Thechamp|Thechamp]] 21:45, 7 Aug 2005 (UT
::I think it deserves some mention. [[Double Deuce|We have mentioned interesting coincedences before]]. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 17:25, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:::The people I know from that area (they don't live in King of Prussia, but nearby) sometimes refer to the [[Wikipedia:King of Prussia Mall|King of Prussia Mall]] as "Kay-Oh-Pee", but they don't usually call it that.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 17:40, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::::I live very close to there, and let me tel you i've never heard it referenced as "The KoP." They say "King of Prussia." Although they often slur it so it sounds like "Kingaprussia." --[[User:TrogdorTSL|Tyler]] 16:13, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

== Eating Due To Death?==

In the old books, he is the Prince of town. Becoming the King would mean his father died. THis might explain why he eats so much. Some people use 'comfort food' as a way to escape their problems. Perhaps the K.O.T. is one of these people. [[User:Stramstar Hummer|Stramstar Hummer]]

:I think its just that the king is really hungry. I doubt it has anything to do with his father. --{{User:Bubsty/sig}} 17:22, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I agree with Bubsty. In the Homestar Universe, does anything really apply to real life? -{{User:The_Coachsmith/sig}}

I think the king is just one of those people who isn't really picky about food-He just likes food altogether--[[User:Gir007|Gir007]] 02:16, 13 February 2006 (UTC)Zaak

== How the king of town got fat? ==

How do you think the king of town got fat in the first place?

I think he, as the the price of town, ate the entire lifetime supply of fishsticks in [[flashback]]

[[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 06:25, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

:You know, Nikolce, you just might be on to something there... ;) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:31, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

== KOT Website ==

For one day sometime between suggest 2002 and June 2003, the Homestarrunner website was replaced by a KOT minisite. There was a game which included Strongbad having to fling pies at the KOT while he fired cannons. I don't know what day it was, and that media has not been posted since, but it definitely happened. Anyone else remember this?

:[[King of Town Main Page|Yes]]. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 21:05, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

== Domicile ==

According to the commentary on the DVD, the KoT doesn't actually live in that castle. He lives in some two bed-room job near Strong Bad's house.--[[User:TrogdorTSL|Tyler]] 16:18, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

== a costume thing ==

Ok, I think the kot dressed up as one of the characters of nbc on one of the toons is either:
a. he wants peploe who like the movie to like him. there a lot of fans. i should know. nbc.net has like 2000 something members and hat's not the fan site with the most members. halloweentown.org is. it didn't work though

b. tbc just wanted to do some thing with one of the characters of that awsome movie.( fandom? just want to? who knows?)

c. seer coundince. i mean if you replace mayor with king in the name of the character, you get koht.

i'm done now-[[user:B gal|B gal]]

: What? This needs to be [[HRWiki:Subtitles|Subtitled]] into [[little questions|English]]. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:20, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

::She thinks KOT dressed as the mayor of Halloweentown because 1) it's a popular movie, and he longs to be popular, 2) TBC love the film, or 3) the names resemble each other - King of Town, Mayor of Halloween-Town. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:29, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

i told you i suck at spelling. and thanks for telling what i mean, qermaq. and the movie being popular is true. i'm obsesed with it.-[[user:B gal|B gal]]

I think it's because both the KOT and the MOH are officials. [[User:71.231.56.40|71.231.56.40]] 17:24, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

=== King Caveat? ===
{{stufffact|In [[Halloween Fairstival]] on his x-ray, his name could possibly be General Caveat, which could mean he was in a war of some kind and lead it (if any war ever accord). Then again, if he could self-appoint himself as King of Town, he could very much do so with the title of General.}}
