Talk:April Fools' 2006

Nicko9y:

Man, I was hoping for something really good. This April Fool's wasn't all that funny, and it simply made an ugly mess of the Main Pages. I just hope that this just means that email 150 is that much better! --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:36, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
:Agreed... It actually gives me a headache. It's very disorienting. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::I hope they do more and fix out the kinks when it's April Fool's for different time zones. [[User:PurpleKoopa|PurpleKoopa]] 06:13, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

:: It appears that all the pages are upside down...which is annoying, but effective given that it took a minute to realize it just turned April 1.--[[User:Motorbikematt|Motorbikematt]] 06:39, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

:::Yeah, it kind of gives me a headache. Still, it's kind of cool. Btw, nice sig Jay. I mean Tom. I mean DOUBLE DEUCE!!!! '''<tt>[[User talk:Thunderbird L17|⇔]][[User:Thunderbird L17|ŢɦųηɗəřÞìɤɖ]][[Special:Contributions/Thunderbird L17|⇔]]</tt>''' 08:14, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
::::I have no idea what you're talking about. My sig just got a small color change due to the fact that my birthday is in less than a year from yesterday. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 08:38, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

It's funny, but at the expense of every other joke on the site. [[User:86.136.82.105|86.136.82.105]] 14:46, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

== How did they do it? ==

Does any one know how they did it? I doubt they manually fliped every movie (and 150 sbemails).

:[[Sbemail 150?!?|149.5]] actually. They did it by changing all the embedded swf files to "theyCallHimFlipper.swf?contentURL=name of original swf file.swf", which flips them over. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}} 14:50, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

== Changed throughout the early morning ==

I was there at random times up until about 2 am (darn college lifestyle) At some point the main page and the toons menu page were both unrotated. They also had the Weeklies items (QFSR) moved at about the same time.

Anyone else get a chance to see this?
:I did. --{{User:The thing/sig}} 15:17, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

== Now I'm mad! ==

Now everything's upside down! TBC have just ruind April Fools' Day! This isn't funny!

They COULD have made a cartoon, but that would mean you would have had to wait longer for sbemail 150. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 16:15, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

[[User:Chess Cheese|Chess Cheese]]

Hm. Well, it wasn't as funny as [[Under Construction]] and [[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!]] were, but not bad... kinda cliche, though. I've seen that joke many times. -[[User:YK|YK]] 06:12, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Man, all those glitches remind me so badly of the subtitles Flash thingy I made back in the day... Exactly like Flipper, it had to load a swf from the Homestar site and display it with various differences (flipper has it upside down, subtitles had it with text overlayed). I had the same problem with weird-proportion toons (took about a page worth of geometry and algebra to fix that one), toons that used <code>_root</code> (it took me ''days'' to find <code>_lockroot</code>), and missing text in certain toons (I never fixed this one... I "fixed" it by never subtitling [[Under Construction]]...). It doesn't surprise me one bit that [[TBC]] hit the same problems. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 17:25, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

==A Conspiracy?==

[[http://www.makingfiends.com Making Fiends]] has some of its old cartoons edited for April Fools Day as well. Specifically all the characters have beards. Are any other sites doing things like this? [[User:PolarBoy|PolarBoy]]

:Darn. --{{User:The thing/sig}} 16:05, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

== What about us? ==

Should we make some mention of hrwiki's AFD adventures? Especially considering the fact that our admins joke was much better than even the Brothers Chaps' and should go down in Homestar Runner History. Of course it makes sense for it to be in the history of the wiki, but maybe at least a mention as a fun fact... -privatedrew
:It could go on the history section of our site. I think it's called HRWiki:A History or something.

== Too much spare time ==

The fact that you guys had enough time to go through every e-mail and main page to find problems really makes me wonder what some people value in life. {{unsigned|24.23.58.165|April 2, 2005}}
 
I agree, I mean I may be a little nitpicky and nerdy, but dayum.

:[[Sbemail 150?!?|149.5]] actually. They did it by changing all the embedded swf files to "theyCallHimFlipper.swf?contentURL=name of original swf file.swf", which flips them over. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}} 14:50, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

== Changed throughout the early morning ==

I was there at random times up until about 2 am (darn college lifestyle) At some point the main page and the toons menu page were both unrotated. They also had the Weeklies items (QFSR) moved at about the same time.

Anyone else get a chance to see this?
:I did. --{{User:The thing/sig}} 15:17, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

== Now I'm mad! ==

Now everything's upside down! TBC have just ruind April Fools' Day! This isn't funny!

== Déjà vû… ==

Man, all those glitches remind me so badly of the subtitles Flash thingy I made back in the day... Exactly like Flipper, it had to load a swf from the Homestar site and display it with various differences (flipper has it upside down, subtitles had it with text overlayed). I had the same problem with weird-proportion toons (took about a page worth of geometry and algebra to fix that one), toons that used <code>_root</code> (it took me ''days'' to find <code>_lockroot</code>), and missing text in certain toons (I never fixed this one... I "fixed" it by never subtitling [[Under Construction]]...). It doesn't surprise me one bit that [[TBC]] hit the same problems. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 17:25, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

==A Conspiracy?==

[[http://www.makingfiends.com Making Fiends]] has some of its old cartoons edited for April Fools Day as well. Specifically all the characters have beards. Are any other sites doing things like this? [[User:PolarBoy|PolarBoy]]

:Darn. --{{User:The thing/sig}} 16:05, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

== What about us? ==

Should we make some mention of hrwiki's AFD adventures? Especially considering the fact that our admins joke was much better than even the Brothers Chaps' and should go down in Homestar Runner History. Of course it makes sense for it to be in the history of the wiki, but maybe at least a mention as a fun fact... -privatedrew
:It could go on the history section of our site. I think it's called HRWiki:A History or something.

== Too much spare time ==

The fact that you guys had enough time to go through every e-mail and main page to find problems really makes me wonder what some people value in life. {{unsigned|24.23.58.165|April 2, 2005}}

== Is this worthy? ==

The lappy never displayed the ripples correctly yesterday, only like the last 10 milliseconds of it. LIEK LOL

:It literally took me like five minutes to parse the last sentence above. For those five minutes I was sure it was computer-generated gibberish like the kind you sometimes find in spam. No offense.— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]] 16:26, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

:::::What on Earth does "deffbo" mean?? {{User:Granola/sig}} 05:19, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
::::::It doesn't mean anything. The way the anon used it was one of those goofy combined words (deaf and Tae Bo?). As for where it came from, when you make an anonymous edit, you have to type in letters randomly generated in a blurry image in order for it to appear. The reason for this is because humans can generally read the letters, but computers can't, so this should help weed out spambots/vandal bots. -[[User:YK|YK]] 09:39, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

== "Hope I can find my local..." ==

Listening to Strong Bad's last line in the e-mail, I keep hearing him saying "''Hope I can find my local '''bunman'''...''", whereas the transcript currently shows "''Hope I can find my local '''bunmaker'''...''" Can anyone else lend their ears and offer their opinion on what he's saying? It was reverted out of this [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=disconnected&oldid=285233] revision, so I just want some sort of consensus before changing th transcript. [[User:63.166.226.115|63.166.226.115]] 16:50, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

:Def "bunman". {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 16:54, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
:: I had my sound low-ish when I transcribed, so as not to disturb my neighbors. If I made any mistakes, that's the reason. Just defending myself is all. ;) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:30, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

I can clearly hear bunman not bunmaker. --{{User:Antispam}} 17:15, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

== J-J-J-Jenny and The Bets ==

The way Strong bad said "Jenny" reminded me of the song, ''Benny and The Jets'' by [[Wikipedia:Elton_John|Elton John]]. Anybody else think this justifies a real world reference? [[User:PolarBoy|PolarBoy]]
:Not me, seems a stretch. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 17:37, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
::When I heard him, I was thinking of the song "867-5309 (Jenny)" by Tommy Tutone. Then again, maybe someone who has actually heard that song can confirm or deny it. - Andyroid
:::Definitely not that song. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 19:40, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
::::agree that its not that song, also the first jenny sounds like forrest gumps' jenny. {{User:Csours/sig}} 05:11, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

== A Million Yards? ==

Nobody has mentioned that 1 million yards = 3 million feet (1 yard = 3 feet right?) = 568.18 miles (1 mile = 5280 feet). You can take it from here (like by saying at 60 MPH it would take 9 hrs to complete, 90 hrs at 6MPH, 52 mins at speed of sound (at air i think it's 676MPH), and for light... well, 1.89 milliseconds). I'm still on wikivacation though. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 18:21, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
:I'd think SB just called it that in exaggeration. No other character or signage does. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 18:29, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

== Is Homestar's bread fixation becoming a running gag? ==

He not only has held Bread Sing-alongs (in Origins), but has also tried to pass off "Moldy Bread, Guys" as Cheat-cakes (in Do-Over). -SomeoneWhoHasn'tCreatedAnAccontYet
:Maybe. There is circumstantial evidence that [[helium|he only eats pork and beans]]. Then again, we haven't seen him try to eat bread. I wonder if we could tie this in with [[Stinkoman|Stinkoman's]] love of bread.
This is the third or fourth mention of cornbread- "Pawkheegan/Cornbread hour", "Mine name Cornbread"... and one other I can't think of. Running Gag'd?[[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]] 04:47, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

== Real-world reference ==

I believe "Regenerator" is a real-world reference to the low-to-no budget horror film "Re-animator," based off the works of H.P. Lovecraft. This is probably worth a brief reference on the page for this e-mail.

[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089885/ IMDB link to "Re-Animator"]

Hi, I've been lurking for many months but this is my first attempt at actually working with Wiki. {{unsigned|Evil Jim|19:24, March 13, 2006 (UTC)}}

That's pretty likely, since "bad guy" in Re-animator has his head cut off and does all sorts of crazy things. -- Crowther 00:55, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

== Dizzy, anyone? ==

I've always thougth that SB's head looks like good old egg Dizzy (main character of adventure game starting off at 8-bits). He had even boxing floating boxing gloves and shoes (rayman-like, except rayman is much younger). But now when he says that "My head would probably get pretty dizzy just rollin' around all the time", I see this as a real-world reference to the Dizzy, who used somersault as jump, which happened all the time. [[User:Analytik|Analytik]] 20:49, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
:I tink it's just a referenceto normal eggs. In fact, that maks it barely a reference at all, since it's really not that specific. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 20:57, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
:The head rolling for transportation is also reminiscent of Weebl and Bob (http://www.weebl.jolt.co.uk/archives.php), another high-volume online comic. However, one might argue that he would have had a hankering for pie and not breads. [[User:Tirian|Tirian]] 05:09, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
== Bosomest of Buddies ==

Hi, i tried to edit the real-world references to say that the term "bosomest of buddies" comes from the 1980 TV show "Bosom Buddies" starring Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari, and I got it up, but it was soon deleted. Why? It's true!
:It's a common phrase, not a reference to anything specific. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:Why not a reference to the Cole Porter song? Or - better yet - why not just a use of a common phrase in English, making it not very remarkable after all. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:43, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
:Come on, really. The TV show. It's a reference. The phrase has become common thanks to Tom and Peter.
::Really. Look up the song from the show <strike>"Anything Goes" by Porter</strike> Mame. (Oops, wrong show.) This has been a common phrase for at least a century. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:45, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
The title of the tv show is *itself* a reference to the common phrase. Just like the song in Mame. No reference![[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]]

== Cornbread ==

Does anybody think that Homestar selling cornbread could be related to Bubs calling himself Cornbread in A Decemberween Pageant.
:No. Cornbread is a common food. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 22:27, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
:Do you think Strong Bad's saying that he needs muscle is a reference to the [[Homestarloween Party]], in which Bubs said the car had muscle? If you answered yes to that question, I recommend a tour through [[STUFF]]. It would be instructive. Seriously, it's just cornbread. [[User:PolarBoy|PolarBoy]]
I didn't see this one, but on the bread thingy up above, I noted two other cornbread references. Is the third time the charm? (Find out next week! Same bat time, same bat place.)[[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]]
No way is this a reference. Has no one else ever been to a restaurant where they actually serve tiny breads? A very common one is a little cornbread that is kinda shaped like a flattened football. Maybe they are trying to make it look like a cob of corn. I don't know. But still, small loafs of cornbread are probably the most common type of tiny bread, in my experience. --[[User:Racerx is Alive|racerx_is_alive]] 18:26, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

== 'Doom' reference? ==

Flying Head Bad seems to bear a strong resemblance to the Lost Souls from the Doom video game series. Unfortunately, I'm not sure this is worthy of be added.

I'm starting to think that the doom references are becoming a running gag. I seriously think its worthy. -Cyberdemon

== THX ==

Perhaps those repulsorlift rings are more common than I realize, but did anyone else think of the robot guy with the jetpack in the THX commercial with the cows? I did. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 23:52, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

== Municipality ==

Why is the KOT's, ahem, "government", referring to Free Country as a ''municipality'', going out of its way to use that exact word? [[Free_Country%2C_USA#Politics|You don't think...]] --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 23:55, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

== BIIIG Brother is watching you ==
Not trying to imply any connection, but I just wanted to mention that the Easter egg poster made me think of the poster described in the [first few paragraphs of ''1984'' http://www.online-literature.com/orwell/1984/1/]. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 04:14, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
:''pssssst...'' See the STUFF for this toon. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:17, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
::Heh—yeah, I hadn't. Interesting. (Though for me what triggered the connection was not the slogan but the ''fact'' that it was a poster.) —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 04:21, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
:::I so got the Ninteen-Eighty Four vibe, no doubt about it. The stormtrooper guards? The urge to support the society? The overall totalitarian feel? The ''we're watching you'' bit? And, of course, the moustache seals it. [[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 19:10, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

== Egghead? ==

I might just be weird, but I think Homestar says "Headman" to the career advice head, rather than "Eggman."[[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]]

:Wow. I am ''never'' trusting your ears again. :P {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 05:08, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

I listened some more... Now I hear it. It was just that the E in egg sounded like it had a dropped H, and the G was pretty soft... whatever, I'm better now! [[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]]

==sunglasses and drink==
the shading in stronghead's drink is opposite of that in his sunglasses. looks cool. {{User:Csours/sig}} 05:22, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

==ghoul girl==
while homestar's speech impedement is most likely the reason hes says "put some meat on the bones, girl", it is also interesting that it sound like ghoul when he is talking to a disembodied head... {{User:Csours/sig}} 05:22, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

== ham head ==

something was bugging me about strongbody, and i finally figured it out, the bone sticking up out of his neck would only make sense if it was coming out of a major limb, ie a leg, or in this case, a ham... it looks nothing like a vertabrae.. {{User:Csours/sig}} 05:26, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Cartoons always do that to headless bodies. [[User:That crazy DumDe!|DumDe]]

== RuneScape ==

I know that this may be the biggest strecth you've ever heard/seen, but to anyone who has ever played [http://www.runescape.com RuneScape], please answer this question: '''Does the sound of the riot rocks hitting The Poopsmith's shield sound like the sound of a sword hitting someone in Runescape?''' Maybe I'm just hearing things, but I think it does. I immediately thought of RuneScape when I heard that sound. I know, I know, It's probably just a coincidence, it's probably just a generic sound effect, but I couldn't help mentioning the similarity. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 13:48, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 meh. i dont think so. the rock have a distinctly 'tinny' sound, like an old timey clicky oil dispenser. {{User:Csours/sig}} 18:06, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

== Stone Appearing In The Wrong Place ==

If you look really closely on Strong Body's hand when he is throwing the rocks, the rock appears in his hand not after it passes the bucket of ammo, but after it passes under his legs. The rock is magically in his hand after it passes the wrong place. Goof, possibly? -[[User:Brightstar Shiner|Brightstar Shiner]] 22:14, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

== Eggman ==

I was about to add in the Sonic Reference when I saw the tag at the end of the section. But does anybody think it's worth mentioning the use of "Eggman" in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_beatles Beatles] song "I am the Walrus"? It's probably better known to more people. {{User:Taco Salad of My Dreams/sig}} 22:25, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
:That's even more of a stretch. At least the Sonic ref has more than a similar word going for it. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:31, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

<div>subject: sb!!!!</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
If your head got disconnected and your head was rolling 
all over the place and you didn't even know were your 
body is or your head, what would you do? 
Jenny
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad struggles to read everything between "were" and the final "head". He also sings Jenny's name, as follows:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Jennyyy... ''{high-pitched}'' Jenny! ''{speaking normally, typing}'' Um, was ''your'' head connected to ''your'' body when you wrote this email? I think I get the gist of it. ''{clears the screen}'' While my head and body are normally the bosomest of buddies, I suppose I could double my productivity if they were separated. Like, I could raise that ruckus I've been planning in two days instead of four! The plausibilities are endless!

''{Cut to The Field, where Strong Bad's disembodied head is speaking to Homestar Runner. A sign reads "THE CAREER ADVISOR IS REAL IN" with "REAL" being a separate removable word.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' My head could be off giving folks career advice...

''{The scene pans over and darkens, while an image of Strong Bad's headless body is throwing rocks from a box of "riot rocks" at The King of Town and The Poopsmith near the King's castle appears on the left. The Poopsmith is wearing whatsit-covered armor and holding a giant shield with the King's face on it, which is blocking the rocks. A bar separates the two different scenes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...whilest my body is rioting against the municipality!

''{The body's scene darkens while the head's scene brightens.}''

'''STRONG BAD'S HEAD:''' Maybe this running business just isn't for you. Have you ever considered the making and selling of tiny breads?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Homestar Bunmaker, eh? Me likey, me likey! Thanks, Eggman! ''{turns away, but then turns back}'' Oh, and... ''{throws coins}'' why don't you get yourself something to eat? Put some meat on them bones, girl!

''{Homestar walks off. The body's screen vanishes while the head's pans over a ways to reveal that the ruckus the body is making is actually right next to his head. Strong Bad's head turns toward his body.}''

'''STRONG BAD'S HEAD:''' That's some nice revolutin', there, body, but, uh, maybe we should spread out. Like, more.

''{The body gives the head a thumbs-up. Cut to a closeup of Strong Bad's head wearing his [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]] sunglasses, on what appears to be a beach. The head is sitting on a picnic blanket and resting against a tree trunk, and a drink with three umbrellas is in front of him. A seagull can be heard in the background. The camera zooms out slowly.}''

'''STRONG BAD'S HEAD:''' Ah, livin' the sleazy life!

''{The camera cuts back to show that Strong Bad's head is actually alone on a small island.}''

'''STRONG BAD'S HEAD:''' ''{turning back}'' Hey, cabana boy! My drink needs more umbrellas! What kind of deserted island is this, anyway?

''{Cut to Club Technochocolate, where Strong Bad's body is dancing with Bubs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Meanwhile, my body could be off putting its considerably reduced weight on it down at the cloob!

'''BUBS:''' Dang, Strong Body! Without all that extra head ballast, your moves are twicely fresh! Twicely fresh!

''{Cut to an image of Strong Bad's head rolling across The Field.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' My head would probably get pretty dizzy just rollin' around all the time. I might have to rig up some kind of repulsor lift!

''{The camera cuts back, and the head begins to hover through some disc on the bottom of it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Naw, scratch that. I'm gonna need something with a little more... muscle.

''{The disc disappears and is replaced by flaming jets on the top of its head.}''

'''STRONG BAD'S HEAD:''' Oh, yeah! That's what I'm talkin' about! ''{leans back, as though revving up}'' Reer! Reeeeer! ''{starts zipping all over the place quickly}'' Rooow! Rooow! Rooo! Reer! ''{imitating brakes as it stops}'' Reeeeee! Whoa! This mess rules! I can finally win the million-yard dash! ''{zips forward again}'' Roooo...

''{Cut to a finish line, which the head zips through quickly. Then cut to the other side, where Coach Z is holding a stopwatch.}''

'''STRONG BAD'S HEAD:''' ''{imitating brakes}'' Reeeee! Oh, yes! I beat Homestar!

'''COACH Z:''' Sorry, Head Bad, but you was the only one competin' this year! Old 'Strammy's gone and quit the runnin' business!

''{Homestar, wearing a new hat that reads "BUNMAKER" and holding a box of "TINY BREADS" jumps up right behind Strong Bad's head.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Cooornbreeeeead! I got cornbread here! Dinner rolls! Cornbread! Everybody wants a bun! Lemme hear that dinner roll!

''{Cut to a blank white screen. Strong Bad's body walks on from stage right, while the unaltered head rolls on from stage left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Maybe one day, we'd both learn to regenerate...

''{The head gains an arm, a green leg, an spirally arm, and an extremely thin robotic-looking leg. The body gains an odd growth colored to look like Strong Bad's head in its chest.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...creating two perfectly-formed Strong Bad specimens!

'''STRONG BAD'S BODY:''' ''{in a really whiny voice that sounds nothing like Strong Bad}'' I would like to go to the store.

'''STRONG BAD'S HEAD:''' ''{in a scratchy voice that also sounds nothing like Strong Bad}'' I think you're ''{chuckles}'' cute! [[#Footnote|[1]]]

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Eeeugh! Go away, head-nub and nub-head. Those things look straight out of the creature shop from some low-to-no budget horror film. Maybe chopping my head off isn't such a good idea.

''{Cut back to show The Cheat standing near the computer, with a guillotine nearby.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{dejected The Cheat noises, walks off}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, time to go satisfy my sudden craving for tiny breads. ''{gets up}'' Hope I can find my local bunman...

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

''{Strong Bad reads}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
I was curious as to whether or not 
Strong Badia had an official army. 
Your Homeboy, 
Hank Toler</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{typing}'' Does Strong Badia have an army? Strong Badia needs no army, Hankatola. Me and that one big guy and that one little guy... we're a one man army. Er, a three man one-y. Three-to-one-marny? What I mean to say is, what do we need an army for when the three of us pretty much do as we please? I mean, it's not like there's anyone around to oppose us.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{suddenly appears wearing a bowl on his head and carrying a large [[Orange Tupperware|spoon]]}'' All right, maggot! Fall it out. Colonel ''{he pronounces it phonetically, i.e. "col-o-nel"}'' Homestar Runner is recruiting ''the'' most elite team of crack commandos to invade Strong Badia. Do you has what it takes to join the Homestarmy? Will you bring a sack lunch and some orange slices for me and serve your country?
Will you, stupid?!

'''STRONG BAD''': Um... no. I don't really have any interest in invading my own—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Ten-hut! Draft dodger, eh? We'll see if those trees you're always hugging save you when Gordon Lightfoot's creeping round your back stair. Company... Halt! Backwards... March!

''{Homestar marches backwards off screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the—

''{Homestar sticks his head back in}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Oh, and if you change your mind, or you wanna trade in that skirt you're wearing for a nice pair of camos, we're having a pep rally up at the stick in oh-fifteen minutes.

'''STRONG BAD''': Wow. I thought I knew what ridiculous was, until this day. This definitely merits some further reconnaissance. The Cheat!

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

'''STRONG BAD''': The Cheat, I need you to find out—

'''THE CHEAT''': ''{sounding a little upset}'' ''{The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Ohhh. Don't make me call you that. It's not a good commando name.

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

'''STRONG BAD''': Ugh, all riiight. ''{reluctantly}'' Firebert. I need you to find out what the crap Homestar Runner is up to at The Stick in 0–15 minutes.

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

''{scene changes to The Stick}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Are you sick and tired of playing second-fiddle to a two bit wrestle man and his yellow dog?

'''CROWD''': YEAH!

''{faint rewind noise}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Are you ready to fight alongside your Colonel ''{again pronounced phonetically}'' and give your five bucks to the Homestarmy if it comes to that?

'''CROWD''': YEAH!

''{faint rewind noise}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Do you wanna paint that fence some other cool color and put a fake beard on that tire?

''{silence}''

''{Switches to view of Homestar's audience, showing it consists of the Painting of a guy with a big knife, Strong Sad holding a tapedeck, Homsar, and a popcorn popper.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Oh, sorry. Forgot to rewind.

''{Strong Sad rewinds tape deck and presses play}''

'''CROWD''': YEAH!

'''HOMSAR''': DaAaAaAa! You gotta get yours. I gotta get mine.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': All right then, maggots! Let's get out there and invade us some serious Strong Badia! Company... GO!

''{The Homestarmy marches off and The Cheat appears from behind The Stick. The view now shifts to Strong Badia where Strong Bad and Strong Mad are wondering about badminton}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Yeah, I don't know. Maybe there is a goodminton.

''{The Homestarmy marches up. Homsar forgets to stop marching and walks right off the other side of the screen.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Strong Bad, so I see you decided to join the other side, eh?

'''STRONG BAD''': What joining?? I ''am'' the other side!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Ten-Hut! Prepare to feel the fluoride sting of the Homestarmy! Strong Badia... will be ours!

'''STRONG BAD''': No it won't. We're about to play some badminton. So... no invasion.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Oh. So I see. ''{pause}'' Retreat! Fall back men! We're in over our heads!

'''STRONG SAD''': Hold the line! Hold the liiiine!

'''STRONG BAD''': And take this stupid thing with you.

''{Strong Bad kicks the popcorn popper. A crash is heard off screen.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Bennedetto! Don't you die on me Bennedetto! Not on my watch! Don't you give up! ''{Tearing up}'' You never gave me the five bucks...''{taps Bennedetto with his spoon}''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad's computer}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{Typing}'' And that, my dear Hankerin', is why Strong Badia will never need an army, though we are in dire need of a copy of the official rules of badminton. No idea what we're doing. None.

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

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{mumbling}'' Firebert. Terrible!

== Easter Eggs ==
*Near the beginning, click "[[Three-to-one Marny]]" to see a handbook containing the rules to playing 3-person marny, as written by [[Leomard Sportsinterviews|Lem Sportsinterviews]]. Click the rulebook to read it.

*At the end, click on "No idea" to see a scene at [[Marzipan's House]].
:''{Homestar is in Marzipan's kitchen. He walks up to a microwave.}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{saddened}'' Mrs. Bennedetto, my name is Colonel ''{still pronounced phonetically}'' Homestar Runner. I served with Frank in the Homestarmy at the battle of Strong Badia. I hate to give you this news... Frank was one of the finest frigging soldiers I ever met! ''{no longer saddened}'' And he still kinda owes me five bucks. So, if you could just... fork it over...''{taps microwave with his spoon}''

*Also at the end, click "army" to see a [[Firebert]] action figure. It's reminiscent of the action figures in the Strong Bad Email [[action figure]], and later appears with the [[Cheat Commandos]].

== Fun Facts ==
=== Trivia ===
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#seicross suckross|seicross (suckross)]]".

===Explanations===
*When Strong Bad says it's been a while, he was referring to the fact that this was the first update in a few weeks, because of Christmas vacation.

===Remarks===
*It looks like Strong Bad has finished the [[Painting of a guy with a big knife]]. (In [[i love you]] he didn't paint the bottom few inches.)
*The painting walks into Strong Badia by itself. Homsar carries Bennedetto and then wanders offscreen.
*The Compy is rather dusty, as can be evidenced by adjusting the contrast. Interestingly, the second cut to the Compy has the contrast increased so the dust around the edges is more visible.
*When Strong Bad kicks Bennedetto, he makes a shattering noise, but does not appear to be broken in any way.

===Goofs===
*Although Strong Sad says that he forgot to rewind after the second "crowd cheer" at the pep rally, the rewind sound does play after the second cheer.
*The text on Firebert's toy box goes over the top of the box.
*When Homestar leaves Strong Bad at the computer, the contrast of the computer screen is automatically brighter. Then at the end when we cut to Strong Bad again, it is darker.

===Inside References===
*The [[Soapbox|box]] Homestar is standing on at The Stick says "Twelve of Them". This is a reference to [[fingers]], in which Homestar stands on a box which bears the words "Eleven Soaps".
*When Homestar asks Strong Bad "Do you has what it takes to join the Homestarmy?" he says "has" instead of "have." This is likely a reference to the [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD]], in which he makes the same mistake (and is criticized by Strong Sad for it in the commentary.)
*Homestar asks Strong Bad if he will bring orange slices for his colonel. This may be a reference to Homestar's favorite snack, [[Bronco Trolleys]].

===Real-World References===
*Homestar says that the enemy is [[Wikipedia:Gordon Lightfoot|Gordon Lightfoot]], a Canadian singer. He says "...the trees you're always huggin' comes to save you when Gordon Lightfoot starts '''creepin' around your back stair'''". This is a lyric from one of his most famous songs, the Billboard #1 from June '74, "Sundown". It goes like this:
:'''"Sundown, you'd better take care, when I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stair"'''
*Homsar's phrase, "You gotta get yours, I gotta get mine" may be a reference to a lyric from the popular [[Wikipedia:Snoop Dogg|Snoop Dogg]] song, "Gin and Juice."
*Bennedetto is most likely a [http://www.epinions.com/West_Bend_Hot_Air_Popcorn_Popper_01568_Small_Appliances/display_~full_specs West Bend Hot Air Popcorn Popper 01568 Popcorn Maker].
*Bennedetto's name may be derived from a character in [[Wikipedia:Alexandre Dumas, père|Alexander Dumas']] classic work "[[Wikipedia:The Count of Monte Cristo|The Count of Monte Cristo]]" where the adopted son of a servant's name is "Benedetto" of which a prolonged explanation of his life's history is told in that book.
**[http://www.benedettoguitars.com/ Benedetto] is also a manufacturer of acoustic and electric jazz guitars, owned by Fender Musical Instruments Corporation.
*Endust, a product by the [http://www.saralee-de.com/ Sara Lee/DE Corporation], is a spray designed to keep dust from settling on furniture.
*'Fluoride sting' might refer to the 1964 film, "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb", in which a paranoid U.S. Army general claims that fluoride is part of an evil Soviet conspiracy to dominate American society.
**It may also refer to [http://www.crest.com/ Crest toothpaste] (the first toothpaste to include fluoride), which had advertisements in the 1970's featuring the "Crest Cavity Fighting Team" which battled the "Cavity Creeps".
*Homestar calling his troops maggots is probably referencing the sergeant from the war movie "Full Metal Jacket".

===Fast Forward===
*Frank Bennedetto may have been the only casualty of [[The Battle of Strong Badia]], but he may not have died. Homestar led Mrs. Benedetto to believe that he was dead, but the appropriate term is more 'missing in action'. You see him behind the fence in the [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], and actually back in the army in the [[Labor Dabor]] puppet thing.
*Firebert later becomes a character in the [[Cheat Commandos]]. Additionally, the fact that Firebert is not a good commando name is referenced again in the toon "[[Shopping for Danger]]", when Firebert is ordered to "stay here and think of a better commando name".
*The spoon Homestar holds is used again in the email [[old comics]] by Strong Mad when he eats the pasta salad in the Easter egg.

== DVD Version ==
*The Three-to-One-Marny Easter egg is viewable using the angle button on your DVD remote.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
**This commentary also extends into the Mrs. Bennedetto Easter egg.

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

'''MIKE:''' Oooh, it's been a while. How long had it been since we had done an email?

'''MATT:''' Maybe a month.

'''MIKE:''' 'Cause there's dust and cobwebs.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' It had been— What had we done? Didn't we do some other stuff?

'''MATT:''' I don't know. It was after the holidays?

'''MIKE:''' No, it was before that—

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously, overlapping}'' I think it was—

'''MIKE:''' What number is it?

'''MATT:''' Ninety... three?

'''MIKE:''' Well... maybe... Anyway, for whatever reason we had, uh, not done emails for a while, so that's what the

'''MIKE & MATT:''' dust

'''MIKE:''' and

'''MIKE & MATT:''' cobweb

'''MIKE:''' is about. Um... So this is one we've talked about before. I mean, we'd come up- you had come up with the term "Homestarmy"—

'''MATT:''' Yeah, a ''long'' time ago

'''MIKE:''' for a long— yeah, like a year or so ago

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' We were going to make a full cartoon, I think

'''MIKE:''' yeah

'''MATT:''' originally, and then we decided, since we don't make those anymore, we'd just ''{laughs}'' make Strong Bad emails. There's, uh, Seicross there.

'''MIKE:''' That was a good game.

'''MATT:''' Over ten million.

'''MIKE:''' ''{goofy voice}'' sol— sold tsill— zill-millions. ''{laughs} Till''-millions.

'''MATT:''' in his stack— ''{mumbles}''

'''MIKE:''' I like the carpet, the carpet underneath his, uh—

'''MATT:''' Yeah, that's the new and improved

'''MIKE:''' Yeah

'''MATT:''' shag carpeting.

'''MIKE:''' People sometimes catch onto the fact that the s— that the— when Strong Bad gets up it makes a sound against a wood floor

'''MATT:''' Yeah

'''MIKE:''' which is what it ''was''; when we lived in the apartment, it had hardwood floors and we just, you know, pushed a stool across it to get that sound. And that was before we ever showed what Strong Bad

'''MATT:''' Right

'''MIKE:''' was— But then, it's carpet, and so people

'''MATT:''' But I—

'''MIKE:''' got a kick out of pointing that out to us.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I think it's great. I think we're gonna leave it that way forever and ever.

'''MIKE:''' ''{agreeing}'' Mmm-hmm.

'''MATT:''' I think we should make it a point of, like, one time he's on a pillow, he's got the stool ''{Mike snickers}'' on a pillow and it's still like—

'''MIKE:''' There's one time when Matt—

'''MATT:''' ''{imitates "get up noise"}''

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, that's, that— Which one is it, the one where you...?

'''MATT:''' It's the vacation one, I think.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, where Matt just makes that sound—

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' I just made Strong Bad go ''{"get up noise"}''

''{pause}''

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

'''MATT:''' So, this is, uh, where Cheat Commandos comes from.

'''MIKE:''' Yep. That's right. Where'd you—

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' So I was trying to come up with what his commando name was, so I just started writing a ton of ''words'' down, among them Fightgar, Crackotage, all what eventually became all of the, uh—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, so we just had this list, so we made this, and then like, a couple weeks later, we saw that list of all those names, and we were like, "Well, we should just make

'''MATT:''' Yeah, just

'''MIKE:''' all of them."

'''MATT:''' make the whole thing. Uh, "Little Albert" was one we didn't use, we thought it was too much like Reynold.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' There was "Gun"— uh, "Runfire". ''{Mike laughs}'' There's another one that I think we nixed.

'''MIKE:''' Wasn't the, uh... the last time, that box said "Eleven of them"?

'''MATT:''' Maybe, I think it was. Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' I forget which one it is— So I wasn't thi—

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' So it— ''{resumes}'' It already rewound actually there, so that's a mistake; he had already rewound it

'''MIKE:''' Ohhh.

'''MATT:''' so you hear it rewind, and then... But, so— Anyways, Mike just got one of those, uh—

'''MIKE:''' Popcorn poppers.

'''MATT:''' big old popcorn poppers from Miss Cordell's class. ''{Mike snickers}'' Popcorn Party Friday.

'''MIKE:''' So yeah, maybe the pup— uh, puppet is gonna, maybe— Puppet Bennedetto, which is just a Presto air popper ''{Matt laughs}'', will maybe make an appearance sometime.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' ''{chuckles}'' I love how Homsar deposits the— just kinda poops out the Bennedetto there.

'''MIKE:''' And just keeps on going.

''{pause}''

'''MIKE:''' So, he's got this orange Tupperware bowl we had growing up on his head.

'''MATT:''' Oh, is that why it's orange? What Tupperware bowl?

'''MIKE:''' You don't remember the orange Tupperware stuff we had?

'''MATT:''' ''{conceding}'' Yeah... I remember the, like— There was the, the cas—

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Well the lid has ridges on it.

'''MATT:''' Yeah yeah yeah, and like... stars... sorta.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' I mean, it's kinda that one.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Okay.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' I don't know what "Hold the line" is originally from. It just seems like a staple ''{Mike snickers}'' of army movies. Old war movies.

'''MIKE:''' It's dusk now.

'''MATT:''' Now it's suddenly dusk. ''{Mike snickers}''

'''MIKE:''' 'Cause it seems to make this more dramatic.

'''MATT:''' Makes it sadder if it's dusk.

'''MIKE:''' ''{snickers}'' I like how he taps everything with that—

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Really needs to have that all the time. I think if Homestar had arms, visible arms, it would— it would be a lot funnier all the time. Like, 'cause he could be... poking people—

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' ... doing something with them a lot. ''{pause}'' Is that it?

'''MIKE:''' ''{noncommittal noise}''

'''MATT:''' No, just that.

'''MIKE:''' Now it's done.

=== Easter Egg Commentary ===
'''MATT:''' So there's, um... There's little Trivia Time over there.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, on the far right.

'''MATT:''' ''{agreeing}'' Mmm-hmm.

'''MIKE:''' The cookie jar. So is this, um, Bennedetto's wife or mom?

'''MATT:''' I've always said it was his mom.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, me too.

'''MATT:''' That's what I figured.

'''MIKE:''' Right.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. People always thought he swore there, I remember, 'cause he says, "best frigging soldier"...?

Videlectrix Mascot

Nicko9y — Mon, 13 Mar 2006 04:35:58 GMT

Nicko9y:

[[Image:videlectrixman.gif|thumb|Look at him go!]]
'''The Videlectrix Mascot''' is the pixelated mascot for [[Free Country, USA]]'s #1 video game company: [[Videlectrix]]! He pops up before almost every Videlectrix game. He always trips abd gives the thumbs up sign. He is also seen in the top banner of the Videlectrix website. The Videlectrix Mascot is likely a spoof of Epyx Software's [http://www.mobygames.com/images/covers/large/1082936558-00.jpg "olympiad video game series"], released on the [[Wikipedia:Commodore 64|Commodore 64]] and [[Wikipedia:Atari|Atari]] platforms in the mid 80's. In this game series, you play a highly animated running silhouetted character. This smooth sprite animation was cutting edge for its day.

==Appearances (and logo variations)==
*'''Debut:''' [[Population: Tire]] – The Videlectrix Mascot jogs across the screen, tripping in the middle as the Videlectrix logo pops up. He gives the 'OK' hand signal.
*[[Awexome Cross]] – A still Videlectrix logo with the Mascot appearing on a gray screen. [[The Cheat]] in a [[Tire]] falls down to the middle of the screen, running over the Mascot. He gives the 'OK' signal.
*[[Peasant's Quest Preview]] and [[Peasant's Quest Animatic]] – The Mascot leans on the Videlectrix logo with a cigarette.
*[[Peasant's Quest]] – The Mascot jogs across the Videlectrix logo with a sword and a shield and trips in the middle, impaling himself on his sword. His right leg falls down as the last note of the 2-bit Videlectrix theme plays.
*[[Everybody Everybody Poster]]
*[[50K Racewalker]] – The Mascot slowly jogs under the Videlectrix logo, like your character in the game.
*[[Stinkoman 20X6]] – The Mascot is now a modified Mega Man sprite, jogging under the Videlectrix logo. He trips in the middle, then leans up and gives the 'OK' signal.

::::::This page ''is'' kind of interesting, but I would only support an uncensored version. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:27, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
:::::::Com's right. This is data, and if it's on Homestar Runner, we can use it. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 23:39, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
If we're gonna keep this, it should ''not'' be censored, but it should be limited to material found only on H*R.com (not the interviews (except for the relevant part in the introduction)). I have come to realize that this page has factual merit, given TBC's attitude expressed in the introduction. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:49, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
:Dot com, why'd you delete DorianGray's comment? That seems rude. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 23:51, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
::He didn't. He just moved it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:54, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
:::While I question the use of this article, I feel that censoring the profanities aren't needed. However, use of the word f*** was unneeded in the article. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 03:09, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

== Title ==

I'm not entirely sold on the utility of this page, but if we're going to have it could we at least give it a name that doesn't sound so juvenile ("Mom, Billy made a swear!")? My vote is for [[Profanity]]. Concerning the above discussion, I'm against censoring this page. The warning at the top is ample. — [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]] 23:56, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
:The reason I moved it is because TBC in interviews have consistently used the word "swears" ("But when we get our sketch comedy show, dude, there’s going to be so many swears!"), and even in things like [[cheat talk]]. Plus, it's kinda funny. BTW, I think they only called it "cussing" in [[Commandos in the Classroom]] so they could make the "cuss-mando" joke. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:01, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
I still vote for keeping, uncensoring, and "Profanity". {{User:Salty/sig}} 00:03, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
:While I feel that this should be delorted, if we are going to keep this, I would rather that the title be Profanity instead of Swears. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 00:20, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
::Meh, "Profanity" sounds so formal and stuffy. "Swears" fits the mood better, methinks. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:26, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
Definitely. I'm up for moving it to that. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 00:21, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
:Well yeah, but profanity sounds more encyclopedic. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 00:27, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
::But "swears" sounds more H*R. More examples: "Tomkins made a '''swear'''!", "Why I can even '''swear''' a cuss myself! A-hem. Diaper biscuits." — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:52, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

::::Couldn't we just begin the article with "'''Profanity''', or '''Swears'''... I think that would be good. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 12:34, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

:::::I think the current introduction (in which Matt says "swears" and is followed up with "swearing") is just fine. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:17, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
::::::Okay—I just think that the actual word should come before what TBC calls it. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 21:18, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

== New bullet ==

Since words like "Hella, and Helluva" are considered swears, I added the one where old timey Strong Bad says "oh noes i've died and gone to hell".

==What did he say?==
In the easter egg when you click "hanging out", it almost sounds like Senor Cardgage says "***hole" when Strong Bad asks him to say something else. -<tt>[[User:woddfellow2|woddfellow2]]|[[User talk:woddfellow2|✎]]</tt>

What he says there is "Ethel," continuing the trend of treating guys as girls. -Jay

When Senor Cardgage says, "Exobably not," I think he's combining the words "exceptionally" and "probably." —[[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]] 9:32 pm, 6 March 2006

== Senor Comb-over ==
Isn't the guy in the easter egg Creepy Comb-over Strong Bad? Since the "with a guy like that" after the "hanging out" you have to click refers to creepy C-O SB, not Senor Cardgage. <--SUCKY GRAMMAR!! [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 10:36, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

:Reviving old topic because Trogga changed it: Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad is a form of Strong Bad. Senor Cardgage is a separate character. The character in the Easter egg, therefore, is Senor Cardgage, since he's standing next to Strong Bad (I think it can be argued that it's Senor Cardgage in the entire email, but he's AT LEAST in the Easter egg.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:03, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I just don't want to confuse newbies. --[[User:Trogga|TROGGA!]] 17:58, 8 Jul 2005 (UTC)

The Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad page now redirects to [[Senor Cardgage]]. That probably happened on July 15, 2005. Some changes have been made to this page, too. Previously, the cast list said: [[Strong Bad]], [[Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[Pom Pom]], [[Bubs]], [[Strong Mad]], [[Strong Sad]], [[Senor Cardgage]] (Easter egg). [[Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad]] was changed to [[Senor Cardgage]], and "[[Senor Cardgage]] (Easter egg)" got removed. The transcript still uses '''CREEPY COMB-OVER STRONG BAD''', but the [[Easter egg]] transcript uses '''SENOR CARDGAGE'''. Should I change them BOTH to '''SENOR CARDGAGE''' since it was probably decided that they are one and the same person? [[User:Gm1121983|Gm1121983]] 8:23 pm 4 Jan 2006

:This has always been a shady issue, but I reverted that change based on this reason: that the transcript may be written in such a way that character is described as presented in the email only. Sure, we know it's Senor Cardgage now, but back then, that email was showing us as Creepy-Combover SB. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]]

== beer belly ==

Well, yes, he does say "beer" for the first time in an email, but he's not even referring to beer, so the bit about the Cold Ones is almost a stretch. To be fair, they're talking about potbellies, which TBC could have just as easily decided to say. I think they've been pretty good so far about not putting in alcohol or drug references. Either make a mention of the non-reference to beer or take it out altogether...

Just a thought. --[[User:blackbelt|blackbelt]] 21:48, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I agree. I took it out. Let's see what the rest of the world thinks. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 21:58, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:I agree with taking out that fact. It's not a direct reference to beer, and even if it were, it's not the first, and even if it were, you could just as easily litter the wiki with useless fun facts like "[[garage sale]]" is the first mention on the site of garage sales"... <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt>

==Closed STUFF==
===Homestar's Singing===

When Homestar sings his various phrases, it is the same melody as the chorus of "The Cheat Is Not Dead".
*'''Vera Weak Accept.''' It seemed to me a 2 out of the 3 phrases were sung that way. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 20:12, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''"I Cut The Fact Off The STUFF Page in the Morning Light! DELETED!''' zno sir, I don't like it one bit. [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]] 17:14, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
* -compares- "You smell like pea soooooup!" "The Cheat is not deeeead!" There's a little bit of a similarity, but not much...'''Weak Accept.''' [[User:Kiwi|Kiwi]] 19:56, 9 Jun 2005
*'''Weak Decline''' Yes, it's similar, but it's not the same... it's just coincidence, I think. You could just as well say that it's the same melody as the Lappy's startup noise... {{User:phlip/sig}} 01:06, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline.''' — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:09, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline.''' We would need to hear more lines from the song to make a strong connection. H*R also seems to enjoy making up random songs, i.e. bread sing-alongs in origins. -[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]
*'''Decline''' --[[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]] 13th June, 2005
*'''Decline''' -- Granted, the first time Homestar sings "you smell like pea soooup, the pitches (notes) are similar -- but not identical -- to "The Cheat is not dead." But he sings it again later in the email, and it's even less similar. I'm with the 'coincidence' theory. (For those who really care and know solfeggio: the musical pitches for "the Cheat is not dead" are Do-Do-Re-Mi-So. Homestar's first "you smell like pea soup" is more like Do-Do-Do-Mi-So. The second time is less distinct but even more of a departure. [[User:Eric|olda guy]] 14:07, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC))

I never heard that song, EVER!!! It's not in the transcript or the easter egg transcript! How did they know that song existed? -Kinsey

== Strongad Smashes the enter key really loudly ==

After Strong Sad leaves, he's like *THWACK!!!!*.
Just wondering if anyone noticed this as a form of neuroticism.
[[User:Nicko9y|Nicko9y]] 00:27, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

I think "neuroticism" in this sentence means "a mental or personality disturbance not attributable to any neurological or organic dysfunction." Strong Sad is obviously disturbed when Strong Bad describes his tall, alternate, dumpy self, who turns out to be Senor Cardgage, the guy who used to give Strong Sad nightmares. So yes, I'd say it is a form of neuroticism. —[[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]]

:Wait. Strong Sad is the one who is disturbed, right? So why would Strong ''Bad'' hitting a key loudly be neuroticism? It's just that he's frustrated with the Graw Sad and takes it out on the key. And it's whatever button he uses to clear the screen, not necessarily the enter key. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 17:35, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Oh, I get it. So, Strong Bad hitting the enter key loudly is a form of frustration. Strong Sad getting creeped out by Senor Cardgage is neuroticism, right? —[[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]]
:Might not be neurotic, might be ''realistic''! {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 17:53, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I got an email in my pocket, and I think it's starting to melt. ''{stops singing}'' Again with the

''{reading email}''

<blockquote class="email">dear strong bad, 
what do you do on all the other days 
of the week?

''{Strong Bad reads the name as "B. Ryan Holmes, certified arborist")

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing and speaking like a robot while bobbing his head sporadically}'' Good question, Brian. I am going to answer this email like a robot. Don't you think this is a great idea? ''{normal voice}'' Yeah, sorry, me neither. OK, other days o' the week. Let's see...

''{A calendar appears with a heading "A Month" and weeks starting on Monday. On Monday is written "checka my e-mail".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' On Tuesdays, I check my snail mail.

''{"checka my snail mail" appears in handwriting on Tuesday. Cut to Strong Bad at a mailbox that reads "sb_snailmail.exe"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I got a snail mail in my pocket, and I think it's starting to melt.

''{He opens his letter and reads it.}''

Please remit payment of three(3)

you will be turned over to a "cut off

Swarthily, 
Bubs' Concession Stand</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{speaking sarcastically}'' Oh no, final warning. Is there nothing I can do to dissuade you? Like maybe give you a ride in my... BMW?!? ''{Strong Bad pulls out the [[BMW Lighter|BMW lighter]] and burns the paper, laughing. He then looks around.}''WA HA HA HA! Um... Where's my house?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Then to better help folks over the hump, on Wednesdays I give free motivational lectures.

''{"give lecture" appears on Wednesday. Cut to the chalkboard with Coach Z and Strong Mad listening to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You gots to look inside yourself! Positate the negative. When life throws pies at you, you make yourself a tall, cool glass of piemonade.

'''COACH Z:''' I'm a new man!

'''STRONG MAD:''' I'M THE HUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Due to a prior arrest, Thursdays are community service days, so me and the old Cheatasaurus head down to Strong Badia and give the place a firm scrubbin'.

''{"community service" appears for Thursday. Cut to Strong Badia, where Strong Bad is vacuuming the dirt and The Cheat is washing the Tire.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know what I always say, The Cheat. Stay smart, vacuum...dirt.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises, sounds vaguely like "And wash up the tire!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Don't forget to wash where the sun don't shine.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Then there's Business Casual Fridays, or as we say around the office, Biz Cas Fri. ''{"biz cas fri" appears on the Friday box}'' You know, because we have to abbreve everything.

''{Cut to the office.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' That's the day we all wear the free polo shirts we got from various software companies.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, man. Did you play Online Gaming last night? No, yeah, no? I did. I got so many frags.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' On Saturday I certainly don't wake up at 6 A.M., put on a Speedo, and go to swim practice. ''{"NOT swim practice" appears in the Saturday box}'' No, no, definitely not Speedo. But I do attend:

{''A flyer for Battle Axe Lessons appears onscreen; "NOT swim practice" is replaced by "BATTLE AXE LESSONS!" in the Saturday box.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...BATTLE AXE LESSONS AT THE REC CENTER, with my teacher Dolph Hauldhagen, The Instruc-TOR! And of course, Sunday is the OTHER day I check my email, for our Eastern European viewers across the pond.

''{"checka my eastern european emails" appears for Sunday. Cut to Strong Bad sitting at a gray computer with the word "BLOCK" in the bottom-left corner.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I got a Polish e-mail in my pocket, and I think it's starting to melt.

''{reading, translator speaks over Strong Bad in Polish: Silne Złe: Proszę rozwiązywać sznurowadło z tyłu głowy. Janusz, Polska}''

the back of your head?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Untie my shoelace, eh Janus? Your 
mother is the speed limit. 
Your aspirin, 
Strong Bad

''{Translator continues: Rozwiązywać sznurowadło, eh Janek? Twoja matka jest ograniczenie prędkości. Z aspiryną, Silne Złe}''

''{Cut back to Compy 386.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's pretty much my week. Now time for a refreshing glass of piemonade, or as we say around the office, p-nade.

''{Strong Bad gets up and leaves. The Paper comes down.}''

==Easter Eggs==

*Click on "brian holmes CA" after Strong Bad says "Certified Arborist" to see B. Ryan Holmes's business card.
**The card reads: "B. Ryan Holmes, Certified Arborist. Phone:555-XYLM Mobile:coming soon" It has pictures of green trees and says "I think it has to do with trees!" in cursive on the bottom.
*At the end, click on "my week" to see Strong Sad waking Strong Bad up for swim practice.
::''{cut to the couch. Strong Bad is sleeping on it, as usual. Strong Sad walks in wearing a pair of swimming goggles and a swimming cap}''

==Fun Facts==

===Trivia===

*On biz cas fri, Homestar Runner wears a shirt labeled 'Diskettes Etc.', while Strong Bad's has 'Micro Palace'.
*The Battle Axe flyer reads:
<pre>BAD AT
BATTLE AXEING???

PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN BATTLE
AXE AND AN EXERCISE MAT.

555-4AXE{x9}</pre>
*Brian Holmes and 'Holmes' (from [[huttah!]]) are both from California.
*[[Dolph Hauldhagen]] is just Matt with a viking helmet, nothing else.
*The translator for Strong Bad's Polish email is the voice of [[Dan Cubus]], a friend of [[The Brothers Chaps]].

===Remarks===

*The calendar starts on Monday, as per some European countries. North American calendars usually start on Sunday.
*Strong Bad's advice to "make Piemonade" is a reference to the saying "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade."
*While talking about online gaming, Homestar Runner says, "I got so many frags". It seems he's been playing numerous [[Wikipedia:First-person shooter|first-person shooters]], in which a "[[Wikipedia:Frag|frag]]" is a kill.
*It is interesting that Strong Bad helps people over the hump on Wednesdays, as some people refer to Wednesday as "Hump Day" since it is in the middle of the week.
*The Cheat is seen cleaning the [[Tire]], so Strong Bad must have temporarily disabled the [[Bear-Shark]].

===Goofs===

*When Homestar says "so many frags" and is looking to the left, his torso is flipped, and consequently the buttons on his collar appear on the wrong side and "Diskettes Etc." appears backwards for a split second.
*In the "my week" Easter Egg, Strong Sad enters the basement empty handed, yet he somehow produces Strong Bad's swimming trunks from behind the couch.

===Inside References===

*This is another instance of Strong Bad's [[Couch Mumbling|couch mumbling]].
*The Office where "biz cas fri" takes place is the same as in [[dullard]] and the [[Senor Mortgage]] short, and the conversation is very reminiscent of that from ''dullard''.
*When Strong Bad mentions having to do community service, it is likely a reference to the [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]].
*The way that Strong Bad answers the Polish email is a likely reference to the email [[little questions]] in which he answers another foreign email.

===Real-World References===

*Strong Bad's intro song for this email (as well as for the snail-mail and the East-European email) is sung to the tune of ''[[Wikipedia:Oh Susanna|Oh Susanna]]''.
*When Strong Sad is waking up Strong Bad for swim practice, he mumbles various things, ranging from "I'll kill you" to the name of the classic [[Wikipedia:Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] [[Wikipedia:CRPG|RPG]], ''[[Wikipedia:Chrono Trigger|Chrono Trigger]]''. The "I'll kill you" in the swim practice Easter egg is directed at [[Wikipedia:Magus (Chrono Trigger)|Magus]], a villain/party member in the game. ''(Also see Inside References.)''
** Also notable is that Janus is also a significant name in Chrono Trigger, the same as Strong Bad's Polish email author.
*The name of his other computer, "[[Block]]," is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Eastern Bloc|Soviet Bloc]]—the group of Eastern European nations which were under communist government.
*The text on the battle axe lesson flyer which instructs you to bring your own axe and exercise mat is in the same font as [[Wikipedia:Iron Maiden (band)|Iron Maiden's]] name almost always appears. One of their first songs ever, "Invasion", released only on a four track album of which 5000 copies were made, was about Viking invaders.
*Strong Bad's imitation of a robot seems to be a reference to Harry in the documentary "[[IMDB:tt0334405|Spellbound]]," a spelling bee contestant who spontaneously replies to a question from the interviewer in a robotic voice, and finishes off by saying "I-am-a-musical-robot. Do-I-sound-like-a-musical-robot?"
*"Stay smart, vacuum...dirt" may be based on "Be Smart! Don't Start!", a motto used in a series of '80s PSAs trying to discourage minors from drinking alcohol.
*The phone number for Brian Holmes, Certified Arborist (555-XYLM), is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Xylem|xylem]], the major water transporting tissue of a tree.

===Fast Forward===

*"Biz Cas Fri" would be the subject of three Puppet Stuff features, [[Biz Cas Fri 1|Biz Cas Fri]], [[Biz Cas Fri 2]], and [[Biz Cas Fri 3]].
*Strong Bad's final payment notice is signed with Bubs' full name, which was revealed to be Bubs Concession Stand in [[Senorial Day]]. Here "Bubs'" has an apostrophe, though, as a possessive, which isn't seen in [[Senorial Day]].

==DVD Version==

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

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]]

'''MIKE:''' Hi, Matt!

'''MATT:''' Hi, Mike!

'''MIKE:''' Welcome to the email commentary for this email.

'''MATT:''' Thanks! I feel really good about this one, and I am ready to go.

'''MIKE:''' All right, let's get started. All right. We started here, well Strong Bad has started,

'''MATT:''' Strong Bad needs to learn the abbreviations for states.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, that's true. He has a problem with them.

'''MATT:''' This part reminds me about that kid from that movie "Spell Bound". About...

'''MIKE:''' When he's a musical robot?

'''MATT:''' When he's being a musical robot, yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Yes, it's true.

'''MATT:''' All right, here's Strong Bad's...

'''MIKE:''' Mailbox. Which has appeared one more time, one other time?

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Still no sign of his house, though.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. No house. Just a mailbox. Not on the road.

'''MATT:''' No.

'''MIKE:''' Just in the grass.

'''MATT:''' In the greens. I don't think Strong Bad's being very sincere right now, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' This is a good example of sarcasm.

'''MATT:''' We've had lots of requests for the BMW lighter. Did you mention that on the last DVD?

'''MIKE:''' I dunno. I don't think it exists.

'''MATT:''' No, it doesn't

'''MIKE:''' I've tried to find them at BMW dealers.

'''MATT:''' That's right.

'''MIKE:''' I actually got to make a glass of piemonade when I was making the uh, Easter Egg at the end, there.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it was early in the morning, wasn't it?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, it was, like, 2 in the morning, and I went to Kroger and got some pie and some lemonade,

'''MATT:''' Nice work!

'''MIKE:''' I think I got an extra piece of pie and ate it and I drank some lemonade.

'''MATT:''' I think that vacuum has never made an appearance again.

'''MIKE:''' No. Although I think the flowers on it are from...

'''MATT:''' Homsar?

'''MIKE:''' For kids email.

'''MATT:''' Kids show?

'''MIKE:''' Kids show. Yeah, what'd I say?

'''MATT:''' For kids. Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' I think it's called for kids.

'''MATT:''' I think you're right. I used to shop at Diskettes Et Cetera.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah?

'''MATT:''' One time. What's Strong Bad's say?

'''MIKE:''' Uhhhhh, can't read it. Micro...

'''MATT:''' Something?

'''MIKE:''' Micro something. That's me!

'''MATT:''' That's Mike!

'''MIKE:''' Holding a stand, Homestar's puppet stand. That's what that stick is, and I just photoshopped out the bottom and put in that axe.

'''MATT:''' I like that.

'''MIKE:''' Thanks!

'''MATT:''' This is our friend, Dan Cubus.

'''MIKE:''' That's right.

'''MATT:''' Speaking this.

'''MIKE:''' He lived in Poland for two years.

'''MATT:''' Shoslav!

'''MIKE:''' Good job, Dan! We went to the Braves game, uh, the night of this.

'''MATT:''' Did you?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Did you get a ghetto burger at uh, what is that place called?

'''MIKE:''' We got a ghetto burger at Miss Ann's Snack Stand. Good times.

'''MATT:''' Your asprino!

'''MIKE:''' Uhhh!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I got an email in my pocket, and I think it's starting to melt. ''{stops singing}'' Again with the

''{reading email}''

<blockquote class="email">dear strong bad, 
what do you do on all the other days 
of the week? 
sincerely, 
brian holmes CA</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads the name as "B. Ryan Holmes, certified arborist")

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing and speaking like a robot while bobbing his head sporadically}'' Good question, Brian. I am going to answer this email like a robot. Don't you think this is a great idea? ''{normal voice}'' Yeah, sorry, me neither. OK, other days o' the week. Let's see...

''{A calendar appears with a heading "A Month" and weeks starting on Monday. On Monday is written "checka my e-mail".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' On Tuesdays, I check my snail mail.

''{"checka my snail mail" appears in handwriting on Tuesday. Cut to Strong Bad at a mailbox that reads "sb_snailmail.exe"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I got a snail mail in my pocket, and I think it's starting to melt.

''{He opens his letter and reads it.}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background-image:none;border:2px solid black;background:#ffffff;color:#000">Dear Mr. Bad, 
This constitutes your final warning. 
Please remit payment of three(3) 
dollars and sixty-two(62) cents or 
you will be turned over to a "cut off 
your toes" -style collections agency. 

Swarthily, 
Bubs' Concession Stand</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{speaking sarcastically}'' Oh no, final warning. Is there nothing I can do to dissuade you? Like maybe give you a ride in my... BMW?!? ''{Strong Bad pulls out the [[BMW Lighter|BMW lighter]] and burns the paper, laughing. He then looks around.}''WA HA HA HA! Um... Where's my house?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Then to better help folks over the hump, on Wednesdays I give free motivational lectures.

''{"give lecture" appears on Wednesday. Cut to the chalkboard with Coach Z and Strong Mad listening to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You gots to look inside yourself! Positate the negative. When life throws pies at you, you make yourself a tall, cool glass of piemonade.

'''COACH Z:''' I'm a new man!

'''STRONG MAD:''' I'M THE HUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Due to a prior arrest, Thursdays are community service days, so me and the old Cheatasaurus head down to Strong Badia and give the place a firm scrubbin'.

''{"community service" appears for Thursday. Cut to Strong Badia, where Strong Bad is vacuuming the dirt and The Cheat is washing the Tire.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know what I always say, The Cheat. Stay smart, vacuum...dirt.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises, sounds vaguely like "And wash up the tire!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Don't forget to wash where the sun don't shine.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Then there's Business Casual Fridays, or as we say around the office, Biz Cas Fri. ''{"biz cas fri" appears on the Friday box}'' You know, because we have to abbreve everything.

''{Cut to the office.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' That's the day we all wear the free polo shirts we got from various software companies.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, man. Did you play Online Gaming last night? No, yeah, no? I did. I got so many frags.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' On Saturday I certainly don't wake up at 6 A.M., put on a Speedo, and go to swim practice. ''{"NOT swim practice" appears in the Saturday box}'' No, no, definitely not Speedo. But I do attend:

{''A flyer for Battle Axe Lessons appears onscreen; "NOT swim practice" is replaced by "BATTLE AXE LESSONS!" in the Saturday box.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...BATTLE AXE LESSONS AT THE REC CENTER, with my teacher Dolph Hauldhagen, The Instruc-TOR! And of course, Sunday is the OTHER day I check my email, for our Eastern European viewers across the pond.

''{"checka my eastern european emails" appears for Sunday. Cut to Strong Bad sitting at a gray computer with the word "BLOCK" in the bottom-left corner.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I got a Polish e-mail in my pocket, and I think it's starting to melt.

''{reading, translator speaks over Strong Bad in Polish: Silne Złe: Proszę rozwiązywać sznurowadło z tyłu głowy. Janusz, Polska}''

<blockquote class="email" style="border: 4px solid #999">Dear Strong Bad:

the back of your head?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Untie my shoelace, eh Janus? Your 
mother is the speed limit. 
Your aspirin, 
Strong Bad

''{Translator continues: Rozwiązywać sznurowadło, eh Janek? Twoja matka jest ograniczenie prędkości. Z aspiryną, Silne Złe}''

''{Cut back to Compy 386.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's pretty much my week. Now time for a refreshing glass of piemonade, or as we say around the office, p-nade.

''{Strong Bad gets up and leaves. The Paper comes down.}''

==Fun Facts==

===Trivia===

*On biz cas fri, Homestar Runner wears a shirt labeled 'Diskettes Etc.', while Strong Bad's has 'Micro Palace'.
*The Battle Axe flyer reads:
<pre>BAD AT
BATTLE AXEING???

PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN BATTLE
AXE AND AN EXERCISE MAT.

555-4AXE{x9}</pre>
*Brian Holmes and 'Holmes' (from [[huttah!]]) are both from California.
*[[Dolph Hauldhagen]] is just Matt with a viking helmet, nothing else.
*The translator for Strong Bad's Polish email is the voice of [[Dan Cubus]], a friend of [[The Brothers Chaps]].

===Remarks===

*The calendar starts on Monday, as per some European countries. North American calendars usually start on Sunday.
*Strong Bad's advice to "make Piemonade" is a reference to the saying "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade."
*While talking about online gaming, Homestar Runner says, "I got so many frags". It seems he's been playing numerous [[Wikipedia:First-person shooter|first-person shooters]], in which a "[[Wikipedia:Frag|frag]]" is a kill.
*It is interesting that Strong Bad helps people over the hump on Wednesdays, as some people refer to Wednesday as "Hump Day" since it is in the middle of the week.
*The Cheat is seen cleaning the [[Tire]], so Strong Bad must have temporarily disabled the [[Bear-Shark]].

===Goofs===

*When Homestar says "so many frags" and is looking to the left, his torso is flipped, and consequently the buttons on his collar appear on the wrong side and "Diskettes Etc." appears backwards for a split second.
*In the "my week" Easter Egg, Strong Sad enters the basement empty handed, yet he somehow produces Strong Bad's swimming trunks from behind the couch.

===Inside References===

*This is another instance of Strong Bad's [[Couch Mumbling|couch mumbling]].
*The Office where "biz cas fri" takes place is the same as in [[dullard]] and the [[Senor Mortgage]] short, and the conversation is very reminiscent of that from ''dullard''.
*When Strong Bad mentions having to do community service, it is likely a reference to the [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]].
*The way that Strong Bad answers the Polish email is a likely reference to the email [[little questions]] in which he answers another foreign email.

===Real-World References===

*Strong Bad's intro song for this email (as well as for the snail-mail and the East-European email) is sung to the tune of ''[[Wikipedia:Oh Susanna|Oh Susanna]]''.
*When Strong Sad is waking up Strong Bad for swim practice, he mumbles various things, ranging from "I'll kill you" to the name of the classic [[Wikipedia:Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] [[Wikipedia:CRPG|RPG]], ''[[Wikipedia:Chrono Trigger|Chrono Trigger]]''. The "I'll kill you" in the swim practice Easter egg is directed at [[Wikipedia:Magus (Chrono Trigger)|Magus]], a villain/party member in the game. ''(Also see Inside References.)''
** Also notable is that Janus is also a significant name in Chrono Trigger, the same as Strong Bad's Polish email author.
*The name of his other computer, "[[Block]]," is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Eastern Bloc|Soviet Bloc]]—the group of Eastern European nations which were under communist government.
*The text on the battle axe lesson flyer which instructs you to bring your own axe and exercise mat is in the same font as [[Wikipedia:Iron Maiden (band)|Iron Maiden's]] name almost always appears. One of their first songs ever, "Invasion", released only on a four track album of which 5000 copies were made, was about Viking invaders.
*Strong Bad's imitation of a robot seems to be a reference to Harry in the documentary "[[IMDB:tt0334405|Spellbound]]," a spelling bee contestant who spontaneously replies to a question from the interviewer in a robotic voice, and finishes off by saying "I-am-a-musical-robot. Do-I-sound-like-a-musical-robot?"
*"Stay smart, vacuum...dirt" may be based on "Be Smart! Don't Start!", a motto used in a series of '80s PSAs trying to discourage minors from drinking alcohol.
*The phone number for Brian Holmes, Certified Arborist (555-XYLM), is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Xylem|xylem]], the major water transporting tissue of a tree.

===Fast Forward===

*"Biz Cas Fri" would be the subject of three Puppet Stuff features, [[Biz Cas Fri 1|Biz Cas Fri]], [[Biz Cas Fri 2]], and [[Biz Cas Fri 3]].
*Strong Bad's final payment notice is signed with Bubs' full name, which was revealed to be Bubs Concession Stand in [[Senorial Day]]. Here "Bubs'" has an apostrophe, though, as a possessive, which isn't seen in [[Senorial Day]].

==DVD Version==

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

'''MIKE:''' All right, let's get started. All right. We started here, well Strong Bad has started,

'''MATT:''' Strong Bad needs to learn the abbreviations for states.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, that's true. He has a problem with them.

'''MIKE:''' Yes, it's true.

'''MATT:''' All right, here's Strong Bad's...

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Still no sign of his house, though.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. No house. Just a mailbox. Not on the road.

'''MATT:''' No.

'''MIKE:''' Just in the grass.

'''MATT:''' In the greens. I don't think Strong Bad's being very sincere right now, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' This is a good example of sarcasm.

'''MATT:''' We've had lots of requests for the BMW lighter. Did you mention that on the last DVD?

'''MIKE:''' I dunno. I don't think it exists.

'''MATT:''' No, it doesn't

'''MIKE:''' I've tried to find them at BMW dealers.

'''MATT:''' That's right.

'''MIKE:''' I actually got to make a glass of piemonade when I was making the uh, Easter Egg at the end, there.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it was early in the morning, wasn't it?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, it was, like, 2 in the morning, and I went to Kroger and got some pie and some lemonade,

'''MATT:''' Nice work!

'''MIKE:''' I think I got an extra piece of pie and ate it and I drank some lemonade.

'''MATT:''' I think that vacuum has never made an appearance again.

'''MIKE:''' No. Although I think the flowers on it are from...

'''MATT:''' Homsar?

'''MIKE:''' For kids email.

'''MATT:''' Kids show?

'''MIKE:''' Kids show. Yeah, what'd I say?

'''MATT:''' For kids. Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah?

'''MATT:''' One time. What's Strong Bad's say?

'''MIKE:''' Uhhhhh, can't read it. Micro...

'''MATT:''' Something?

'''MIKE:''' Micro something. That's me!

'''MATT:''' That's Mike!

'''MIKE:''' Holding a stand, Homestar's puppet stand. That's what that stick is, and I just photoshopped out the bottom and put in that axe.

'''MATT:''' I like that.

'''MIKE:''' Thanks!

'''MATT:''' This is our friend, Dan Cubus.

'''MIKE:''' That's right.

'''MATT:''' Speaking this.

'''MIKE:''' He lived in Poland for two years.

'''MATT:''' Shoslav!

'''MIKE:''' Good job, Dan! We went to the Braves game, uh, the night of this.

'''MATT:''' Did you?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Did you get a ghetto burger at uh, what is that place called?

'''MIKE:''' We got a ghetto burger at Miss Ann's Snack Stand. Good times.

'''MATT:''' Your asprino!

'''MIKE:''' Uhhh!

Talk:Strong Bad Evolution

Nicko9y — Thu, 09 Mar 2006 00:45:38 GMT

Nicko9y: /* OK It's certain */

==Note from [[Character Evolution]]==
Its being started by Piscez, but anyone can help. The format I'm using is high quality jpgs, 250 pixels tall (variable width) and cropped tightly around the character. Individual images for each version of the character, so they can be shuffled around on this page as it grows.
*Okay, maybe 250 pixels is too large, but lemme get the page all formated and I can change that later.

Looking good, pnihill2000. - [[User:Drhaggis|[[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]]]] 19:46, 26 Nov 2004 (MST)

Yo. What happened to the Yello Dello version of Strong Bad? -[[User:Miss Free Country USA|Miss Free Country USA]]

It escaped. Into the mountains. -[[User:Poopsmith Z|Poopsmith Z]]

:We decided that those didn't count as evolution, since they were obviously done in a different style on purpose. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 18:46, 15 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Horrible images/request for improvement ==

What's up with all the externally-linked-to JPGs? They look horrible and certainly don't follow the [[HRWiki:Standards|standards]]. And most of the other character evolution pages follow this same poor trend, like [[Homestar Runner Evolution]]. Those JPG artifacts give me the jibblies. Anyone up for some better screenshot taking?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 18:08, 12 Dec 2004 (MST)
:I'm on it. But I'll have to thumbnail some of these images. Is 150 pixels a good size? --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

::This size of the images you upload really doesn't matter. They'll be thumbnailed by MediaWiki when they are on the page. This really helps even the table out too. See [[Halloween Costumes]] and [[Floppy Disk Container]] for examples.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:46, 18 Dec 2004 (MST)

Didn't Strong Bad get changed again slightly at [[montage]]?

Yes, I noticed that too. His face design did change slightly in that email.
Look: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y214/princessofstrongbadia/SBcomparison.png

I can exactly pinpoint what's different, but somethin's different.
-[[User:Miss Free Country USA|Princess of StrongBadia]]
:In the right picture, the head is slightly smaller, the eyes are a little 'dimmer', and his pants are shaded differently. These are BOTH uesd in emails these days. He looks both ways in [[dreamail]] and in [[origins]]. His pants sometimes lose their purple shading and look pure black. So far, in every email after [[death metal]] his pants had the purple hue to varing intensity. It's like TBC have two models of SB and use them interchangably. {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 17:30, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

== Big Mouth Strong Bad? ==

I was watching the [[Strong Bad Sings]] toon and one thing hit my while I was watching it. "Man, that's one big freakin' mouth!" Has anyone else noticed that The Fourth Design, especially early on, featured a mouth which was quite wide open a rest and got even bigger when opened? Current Strong Bad's mouth it s fairly small rectangle by comparison. Just a little observation. [[User:Rocketlex|Rocketlex]] 06:01, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
:Never saw that. Ever. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 16:44, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

== New Change ==

http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/6603/strongbad2md.jpg
yes or no? look at his arms and how lower they are.. This was pointed out by Lord-Z
[[User:Nicko9y|Nicko9y]] 02:49, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
:Lookit the boots too... They kinda go on an angle now. It's reminiscent of the previous evolution, actually. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
So who's gonna make it?
*Abit taller.
*Bigger Gloves
*slanted boots
* More egg shaped head?
is that it?
[[User:Nicko9y|Nicko9y]] 04:54, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

This is just the sixth design being reused. It's nothing new. {{User:Eman/sig}}

== OK It's certain ==

Anyone spot any more changes than the ones I pointed out?
*Arms are lower, more slanted, and slightly more behind him.
**Slanted Boots
***Bigger gloves
**** More egg shaped head?
Also I noticed some diffrences in the shading on his calves, and on the black part of his mask.
I think his mouth has an extra level of streachability, and his head bobs up when he uses it (thus making his head behavior look more like when he is at his computer.). It was first implemted in pop-up
 
[[image:Strongbadchange2.png]] [[User:Nicko9y|Nicko9y]] 05:26, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
:His torso/stomach shading seems to have flopped, too. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:: I think that's just due to the different light source. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 02:57, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
:::Yer right. There's new shading on his legs and on his boots. --{{User:Broccoli Kills/sig}}
::::It's just the sixth design; with maybe (slightly) updated shading on his boots, but still very similar. This is not a new design. {{User:Eman/sig}}
:::::Seems odd that they're using the sixth one instead of the current, though. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::::It's not the sixth design. Just more similar to it than the 7th, for some reason. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:59, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
***It's not the 6, although the boots have been redesigned too look like the sixth. You can also see a little shading on the top part of the shoe, making it look slightly more 3D.
As far as I'm concerned, droopier and lower, more hidden arms; and different head behavior warrant a new update.

Is anyone trying to do the transcript right now? Cause if you thought I was going to do it, you're wrong. Stupid Flash player that I desperately need to get... {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 15:20, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Figures, I had time, thought you were going to do it, then I go to my next class where the computers don't have speakers and I find out I could've written the transcript.... can this wait like, 3 hours or so? I can get it then -[[User:StrongBaditude]]

==Does Strong Bad look odd==
His arms seem lower and his gloves seems bigger to me. Am I going mad, or has he been slightly redesigned? [[User:Lord-z|Lord-z]] 16:02, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
:Looks the same to me, but I'm mainly showing off the new siggy. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:08, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
Yeah...I kinda noticed something wrong with his arms, and I think that is it.
They seem to be slightly lower and more to his side/behind him.
::His boots look different too. This should be added to the character evolution page.

[[image:Strongbadchange2.png]] [[User:Nicko9y|Nicko9y]] 02:23, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

This isn't a new design! That's the sixth design (see the evolution page). {{User:Eman/sig}}
: Not quite. The shading on the shoes is similar (more so to either one than design 7) but different. The arm lengths are completely different. His head is also larger in proportion in design 8. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:57, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

== It's Dot Matrix ==

An explanation of my (reverted) removal of the fact that The Printer is apparently dot matrix is in order. It's Dot Com, you're absolutely right. The printer that The Paper comes from is obviously a dot matrix. That's a very distinctive sound, and the appearance of the font clinches it. But my point is that the fact has nothing to do with ''this'' toon. We've known for years that it's a dot matrix. There's no new evidence presented by this picture of the printer.

On the other hand, if someone could find a specific ''model'' of printer that this new picture is based on, that would be noteworthy. But I've tried. As I expected, it resembles slightly every home-computer printer made in the mid-to-late-1980s, and resembles none of them exactly. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 21:34, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

:"what appears to be an [http://skylab.org/~chugga/pictures/forsale/epson.JPG Epson L-1000] [[Wikipedia:Dot matrix printer|dot matrix printer]]. The first time The Paper appeared out of a printer was in [[Email Processing Room]]."

:I'd say it more closely resembles an Epson [http://www.humanities.mcmaster.ca/~hccrs/2B.GIF LX-800]. The cartoon printer does not have the smoked-translucent-plastic window that the L-1000 has.

== Horse twees ==

You all know what that would mean, right? TBC are getting a little ''outside'' the okay zone. You following me? good. -[[User:Homfrog|Homfrog, not logged in]] 21:45, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
:See [[Crap]] - they've been doing that since the site was first launched. :) {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:02, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Technically, all she said was that he was a horse's bum. Any profanity would be purely speculation ;)[[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]]

== Tejas ==

I'm kinda on the fence about the Tejas fact. On one hand, I agree that it should be mentioned that Strong Bad has pronounced "Texas" as "TEH-hahs" in the past, and the writer of the email may be directly referencing that. BUT: I think it's also important that people understand that "TEH-hahs" is not uniquely Strong Bad's pronunciation, but rather how "Texas" is pronounced in Spanish. The letters "x" and "j" have the same pronunciation in Spanish. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:19, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
:I also wanted to point out that here in Tejas, it's also ''spelled'' that way too on a lot of Spanish-language literature. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:52, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

REMARKS:

*The caption "loose weight?" may be a reference to a common misspelling of the word "lose", altered from the more common "lose weight!" caption.

But the fact that it's a "common" misspelling of the word "lose" means that there's a lot of people out there who won't get the joke. It'd be good to put that down here for those people.

== A fantastic stretch ==
:''"The [[Wikipedia:Iron Sheik|Iron Sheik]] is a wrestler, and a former [[Wikipedia:World Wrestling Federation|WWF]] [[Wikipedia:List_of_WWE_Champions|Champion]] in the 1980s. Homestar's reference may be due to the similarity between the sound of the words Iron Sheik and 'Iron cheek', which in turn could be reinterpreted as Buns of Steel, the name of a series of workout videotapes."''
I'm posting that here on the talk page so that I never forget it. I mean, I've seen some incredible stretches before, but I gotta say this one takes the cake. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:42, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

:Such persistence in re-adding it, as well. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 04:45, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
:: It's a stretch, no argument, but I don't think it's ''that'' bad. I've seen much worse. At least IMHO. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:45, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
:::I actually thought that the "sheik" ~ "cheek" part was an intended pun. Though I do agree about the extension to Buns of Steel... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 07:58, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

== Marzi Stewart? ==

Should we add that Marzipan's crafts are probably modeled after Martha Stewart? I think they are. Is that too obvious, not obvious enough...?[[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]]
*It's TTATOT. They're based on numerous craft how to shows. Martha Stewart would probably be the best known, but there are really so many that you'd have to have something more specific to call it a reference to Martha Stewart (For instance, Martha Stewart actually made something out of junk mail and kitty litter, or actually called her scissors "snip-snipperouskis"). As far as referencing how-to shows similar to Martha Stewart: Living, I think it's a bit too obvious to be worth mentioning. [[User:PolarBoy|PolarBoy]]

== It's Dot Benday ==

Strong Bad's comic strip does indeed use [[Wikipedia:Benday dots|Benday dots]]. (Well, at least some overlay effect that's clearly supposed to ''look'' like Benday dots.) Benday dots are indeed the trademark of artist [[Wikipedia:Roy Lichtenstein]]. However, there's no clear connection between Lichtenstein and this toon. They're both referencing the same source, which is inexpensively printed and melodramatic color comic books/strips. Lichtenstein's only known for the technique because he exaggerated it and introduced it to high art. It had already been in use for decades. As for mentioning the Benday dots themselves, I don't see the point. Any artist trying to evoke a comic strip feel would be likely to use a similar effect. Note that they did it before on [[The Castlefunnies]] in [[old comics]]. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 07:41, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
:I'm copying your argument over to the [[Template:STUFF/lady fan#Ned Lichtensteinerson|STUFF page]]... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 07:44, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

== end bracket ==

Does anyone think that it is significant there is the <code>]</code> symbol before the back button? {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 15:07, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

:It's always been there, it's the prompt on the Lappy - same as <code>a></code> on the Compy and Tandy. It's probably only noticible since it's not on the screen. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 15:19, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

::Did I sniff out my first goof?!?! {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 16:55, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

:::Nah, they've [[invisibility|done it like that before]]. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 16:57, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

==Yoga DVD==

I could've sworn I heard "slip" or something in that sentence, not buy. But I guess they changed it.
:They didn't change it. The caption and the voice always said "buy". {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 18:11, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

== Obligated By Law? ==

I thought it was interesting how SB is "obligated by law" to do anything that people ask him. Could this be a reference to [[sb_email_22]]? --[[User:ArgentAngel|ArgentAngel]] 04:55, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
:I think that's just him being his sarcastic self. Besides, 22 was the British, so why would he be subject to their law? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 05:01, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

== Snip-sniparooskies ==

I was tempted to add a Goof about Marzipan's snip-sniparooskies behaving like [[Wikipedia:pinking shears|pinking shears]] while being called scissors. (Note that they make a "crinkle cut" without her having to turn the paper or the scissors.) Then I noticed that Wikipedia defines pinking shears as a type of scissors. This doesn't agree with my experience where pinking shears and scissors are two different (albeit closely related) tools. Anyone got any feelings on this subject? --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 16:09, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
:Remember that Wikipedia isn't always right - in fact, it's frequently not. If you have strong evidence that the WP article is wrong, you should feel free to go and correct it there. This is especially true if you want to use WP as a reference here.
:That said, I'm not sure this is all that noteworthy in this case. Those may be pinking shears, but I think in a more general sense anything that acts like a pair of scissors (regardless of type of cut) can be called a form of scissors - at least, that's how I'd expect most people think of it, whether it's technically correct or not. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 20:14, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
::WP is not always right?? *gasp!* My world is crashing down! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:28, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
:::<nowiki>*</nowiki>gasp!* Dot com's world is falling on my breakfast buritto! The poor, defenseless, tasty breakfast! I hardly knew ye... (OK, this is getting extremely off topic.) {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 20:31, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Didn't Strong Bad get changed again slightly at [[montage]]?

Yes, I noticed that too. His face design did change slightly in that email.

I was watching the [[Strong Bad Sings]] toon and one thing hit my while I was watching it. "Man, that's one big freakin' mouth!"

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

==Transcript==

'''STRONG BAD:''' How many emails can you check? Five, twelve, seven, shut up.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: extra cool</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
My new lady fan does not like you so much. Should I 
just call it quits now or can you do something extra special 
cool to impress her? 
Buck Webb 
Houston, Tejas
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "Houston" as "Hooston".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Buck Webb? You sound like one of those boring soap-opera comic strips from the, ''{stops typing}'' quote-un-quote, ''{resumes typing}'' "funny" pages.

''{An example of a boring soap-opera comic pops up. It is titled "Buck Webb, Extraordinaire". Music begins playing. When characters talk, speech balloons appear.}''

'''BUCK:''' I'm afraid it's Splittsville for us, Lady Fan... if you don't take a shine to Strong Bad!

'''LADY FAN:''' ''{drippy speech balloon}'' Oh, Buck...

''{Cut to the next panel. Lady fan is holding a gun up to Buck.}''

'''LADY FAN:''' I'll give Strong Bad a chance. In fact...

''{Cut to next panel, of a turtle in a pool, with the caption "Sea turtles eat a wide variety of food".}''

'''LADY FAN:''' ... I think I'm falling for him. Like, big time.

'''BUCK:''' C'mon, baby. Stay with me.

''{Next panel. Buck is holding a yoga DVD.}''

'''BUCK:''' I'll buy you a new yoga DVD!

''{Next panel. Lady fan is crying and there is a caption "Back in Des Moines..."}''

'''LADY FAN:''' I'll... think about it!!!

''{Cut away from the comic. The Lappy's screen has been cleared.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' We both know who she's gonna choose, Buck. Is that what you want? But hey, you asked for it. And as you know, when people send me stupid emails, I'm obligated by law to do what they say. So, extra special cool coming right up!

''{Cut to a gymnasium.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nothing's more ESC than one-handed push-ups. Coupla these bad boys oughta do the trick! Here-a I-a go-a!

''{Strong Bad attempts to do a one-handed push-up, but falls down. The scoreboard buzzes and turns to -1.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, did I say "one-handed push-ups"? Those things are lame. Real men play two-handed push-ups! We'll start with fifty and see how we feel. Here-sa I-sa go-sa!

''{Strong Bad attempts to do a two-handed push up. Beads of sweat appear on his forehead, but he is unable to lift himself off the ground. The scoreboard buzzes and turns to -51.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I can't do ONE push up?! I used to be able to do like four. Maybe I need to start workin' out.

''{Homestar Runner appears, dressed as a work-out instructor.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Boy, I'll say you do. One, two, and flex your pecs! Give it eight more! And five! Twees it out! C'mon y'all! Just twees it out!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Twees it out?

''{Homestar turns around to show Strong Bad his rear. Strong Bad looks away and blocks the image with his hand.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Your buttweesimo! We're gonna mold that twees into the Iron Sheik!

''{Homestar looks toward Strong Bad's "twees". Strong Bad replies by covering it with both hands.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Just six more now! Eight and four! Shake it freely, twees it out!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, cool. I'm gonna go ahead and need you to never say "twees it out" ever again.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You're doing great! Now shoulders down! One and two...

''{Strong Bad walks towards the viewer. Homestar continues to stretch in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What'll really impress your lady fan is a cute, fluffy The Cheat—

''{Scene changes to the laundry room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Fresh from the dryer!

''{Strong Bad opens the dryer, revealing a fluffy The Cheat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Awww, look at him! All cottony soft...

''{Strong Bad tries to pet The Cheat but is shocked by static electricity. Then The Cheat starts turning green and his The Cheat noises turn queasy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' AHHHH! Jeez, use a dryer sheet, man. Uh oh, this is not looking extra special cool.

''{Strong Bad closes the dryer door just as The Cheat throws up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Don't worry, little buddy. We'll just throw you back in the wash.

''{Some vomit runs out the corner of the dryer door. Homestar returns, still in his work-out uniform.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Back in the wash. Come on, come on! Twees it, twees it, zabaradoo!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Get it out of here, Wretched Simmons! I'm trying to get some girl to like some guy I don't know!

''{Homestar bobs up and down twice more. Scene changes to Strong Bad and Marzipan sitting at a table with a "CAT MESS" kitty litter bag, pie pan with some kitty litter in it, a glue gun, envelopes, and scissors.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' One thing I definitely know about lady fans is that they all like crappy arts and crafts projects.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Today we're going to make a real creative centerpiece out of junk mail and kitty litter.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sarcastically}'' Sounds heavenly...

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{picks up an envelope and begins to cut it with the scissors}'' Now first of all I want you to take your snip-sniparooskies-- and that's what we call our scissors...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{overlapping, uninterested}'' Uh-huh...

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{cut to a closeup of the envelope}'' ...and then just a little crinkle cut right here on the northern edge...

''{Cut back to wide shot. Marzipan becomes angry at Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' UGH! Never mind! What the lady fans really want is some ''{high-pitched echo-y screaming}'' PYROTECHNICS!!!

''{Strong Bad throws the BMW Lighter onto the table, causing multiple explosions that turn everything to ashes, including Marzipan's hair. The ashen remains of the "CAT MESS" bag collapse.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Strong Bad, you're a horse's twees.

''{The remains of the glue gun collapse as well. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' There you have it, Buck. Oh wait...

''{Changes to comic strip version of Strong Bad talking to Buck.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' There you have it, Buck! If that floozy's not all up ons after that, you gotta drop her like a trig class, see??!!??!

''{Next panel, solo shot of Buck.}''

'''BUCK:''' Tight, Strong Bad. Real tight.

''{Next panel, silhouettes of Strong Bad and Buck looking at work-out Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's right. Keep that twees real tight. Flex it, flex it, shoulder stance.

''{Next panel, a comic book version of [[The Paper]]. The Paper noise is heard. A caption reads "PREEEOW!!"}''

==Easter Eggs==
*Click the scoreboard after Strong Bad calls one-handed push-ups lame to see a blue bumper sticker that says "Real Men Play Two Handed Push-ups!!" with a small image of a soccer ball in the corner.
*At the end, click on the printer's green button to see Homestar's weight-loss DVD, titled "Tweesercize". The box reads:
<pre>
Tweesercize with Homestar Runner
Loose weight?
6 minutes long!!!
</pre>

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Des Moines|Des Moines]] is the capital of [[Wikipedia:Iowa|Iowa]]
*Strong Bad's opening intro is similar to one of the many songs schoolgirls often chant while jumping rope.
*"Tejas" is a Spanish spelling of [[Wikipedia:Texas|Texas]]. Strong Bad pronounces it correctly as "TEH-hahs".

===Remarks===
*This is the first time we see Strong Bad perspire, thus giving us a better impression of his mask actually being more flesh-like.
*While Strong Bad may not be able to do push-ups, he was able to literally throw Homestar and [[The King of Town]] out of his house in [[secret identity]]. He was also able to knock Homestar senseless in [[car]] with what is assumed to be his off hand.
*This is another instance of The Paper not coming down normally, this time being shown coming out of what appears to be an [http://skylab.org/~chugga/pictures/forsale/epson.JPG Epson L-1000] [[Wikipedia:Dot matrix printer|dot matrix printer]]. The first time The Paper appeared out of a printer was in [[Email Processing Room]].

===Goofs===
*Marzipan's scissors do not close properly. Their handles touch before the blades run past each other.

===Inside References===
*The score counter going negative refers to an Easter egg in [[montage]].
*Strong Bad locking The Cheat in the dryer is a reference to [[2 years]].
*This is another appearance of the [[BMW Lighter]].
*Buck Webb emailing from "Tejas" is a reference to Strong Bad's pronunciation of [[Wikipedia:Texas|Texas]] in [[boring (really)]] and [[property of ones]].
*The phrase "[[All up ons]]" originated in [[suntan]].
*This is another appearance of [[Preeeeow]], the [[Wikipedia:Onomatopoeia|onomatopoeia]] describing The Paper's sound effect.
*Homestar's "back in the wash" line mirrors his dance in [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]].
*Bubs mentioned his own "lady fans" in [[the process]].

===Real-World References===
*The soap-opera-type comic pokes fun at comics not written to be funny, such as [[Wikipedia:Rex Morgan, M.D.|Rex Morgan, M.D.]], which are found in many newspaper Funny Pages.
**The panel with a [[Wikipedia:sea turtle|sea turtle]] is a reference to the drama/information comic strip [[Wikipedia:Mark Trail|Mark Trail]].
*Strong Bad's comic utilizes [[Wikipedia:Benday Dots|Benday dots]], a printing process that was considered the trademark of [[Wikipedia:Roy Lichtenstein|Roy Lichtenstein]], a prominent American [[Wikipedia:Pop art|pop artist]].
*"Wretched Simmons" refers to fitness guru [[Wikipedia:Richard Simmons|Richard Simmons]].

Talk:Sick Day

Nicko9y — Mon, 06 Mar 2006 02:21:01 GMT

Nicko9y: /* When the paper goes back up */

== I feel so bad for the Cheat! ==

Ok, this may be minor, but it almost sounds like Homestar is saying "Four miles For hours" or "four miles four hours" instead of "Four miles per hour" Am I the only one? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 08:19, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::Yes.
:::Yeah, I went back and listened to it, and he *does* say "per hour" but his p is a little "ph"-afied. Incredible. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:25, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

==The Paper Filmography==

Is the The Paper's first appearance outside of a Strong Bad email? -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 14:02, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:[[Superbowl Dealie|No.]] - {{User:Joshua/sig}}

And also [[Arcade Game]] - sarducci

For that matter, is this the first appearance of an actual e-mail (well, it seems like a legitimate e-mail) outside of an official numbered sbemail segment?

Yes. -[[User:Young Roy|Young Roy]]

== sick lappy ==

the reason you dotn get ripples when you click the lappy is because it is sick with a virus too!!!
:No, if TBC wanted to make the Lappy sick, it would have been more obvious. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 17:02, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Sick as well ==

What a coincidence!!!! I stayed home from school today because I was sick. It's amazing how life works out. lol--[[User:Martin925|Martin925]] 18:23, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Heheh, me too. {{User:Homestramy20/sig}} 20:11, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Yeah I've been doing my best not to get sick either. It's been going around! It's a fitting reflection of reality that TBC made through this short today. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:28, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Weird... I've been a little snuffly too. Maybe TBC is just psychic and predicted we'd ALL be sick as dogs today. [[User:Ookelaylay|Ookelaylay]] 22:46, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, even ''I'' was a little sick over the weekend. -[[User:FaceCrap|FaceCrap]] 23:59, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::Or (eerie music) maybe TBC ''made'' us sick today! --[[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]] 02:17, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I wasn't sick but my freind but they haven't heard of Homestar Runner! So it isn't a big coincedence there is something going round so maybe thats why they made this short -- [[User:Strong Lad|Strong Lad]]

This is weird. I'm at Uni right now and tons of people are sick. And I got ill one day after seeing the cartoon. And I'm in the UK!

I started coughing, began a snezzing fit, got bad gas AND started quvering a little after I watched this. {{User:Total Spaceship Guy3/sig2}}

I had a stuffy nose on the day's release. Either they knew it was going around, or it's a very uncanny coincidence -[[User: Young Roy|Young Roy]]

I was sick for weeks after watching this toon. This is kinda eerie. [[User:The Lyrical Wondermind|The Lyrical Wondermind]]

== Grayest or Greatest? ==

"STRONG SAD: {groans} This is the ______ day of my life. I feel like a few dollars."

Alright, this has been changed multiple times now. Is he saying "grayest" or "greatest?" {{User:Camalex/sig}} 18:34, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

*'''Greatest.''' Not only is that I hear it as, but "grayest" doesn't make sense in context. (regarding the dollar sentence) - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 18:48, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greatest.''' I definitely hear a consonant in there. It's a little muffled because of his illness. The joke is that for a depressing person, being sick means he's actually having a good day. The second line is a play on "I feel like a million dollars," which only a person having the greatest day of their life would say. The ''grayest'' day of Strong Sad's life is every other day. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:50, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 19:27, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greatest.''' For exactly the reasons It's dot com gave. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
**That's what I thought. Then I came here and it said "grayest" so I was confused. It kept getting changed, so I just wanted to see what people said on it... {{User:Camalex/sig}} 18:52, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greatest.''' For all the reasons already stated. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:39, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greatest.''' See above, and earlier someone put ''greenest'', so I went back to hear it carefully, and indeed heard him pronounce the consontant! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:29, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Grayest.''' - when someone has the greatest day of their life, they feel like a million dollars. When someone has the grayest day, they only feel like a few dollars. Makes perfect sense.
** I know this isn't [[STUFF]], but sign your votes. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 03:44, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greatest.''' Strong Sad never has a good day, ever. It makes sense for him to think the greatest day of his life to be worth a couple bucks. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 21:45, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greenest!''' Seriously! That's what I thought when he said it. Why else would he say like he felt like some dollar bills? Also, his face looked green. [[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]]
*'''Greatest.''' The joke is that Strong Sad's day is better when he (or Strong Bad?) has a disease than normally. -[[User:AtionSong|AtionSong]] 23:36, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greatest.''' Exactly!!!!!!!!!(I also agree with the "Or Strong Bad?" thing) [[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]]
*'''Greediest.''' To me, Strong Sad is saying ''"greediest."'' How about any of you? {{User:gwr2004/sig}} 01:53, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)
**'''Comment.''' Greediest? "This is the greediest day of my life."?! That makes no sense, and I hear greatest. I think the conclusion is obvious now. - {{User:Joshua/sig}}
*'''Greatest.''' Not because it necessarily makes sense in context or in character or anything like that, but just because that's what it sounds like. Actually it sounds more like "Greadest" but anyone who's had a blocked nose knows that 't's are hard to pronounce and often come out as 'd's. {{User:phlip/sig}} 03:28, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greatest.''' Indeed, it is 'greatest.' The "t" is partially swallowed, (or, to take the "hooked on phonetics" route, his pronunciation has an incomplete plosive stop, muddying the sharpness of the "t"), but it is there. {{User:Thesmokingmonkey/sig}} 12:04, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greatest.''' The ''t'' is kind of blended with the ''est'', so I could see why people could think it was grayest. But, it's Greatest.--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 18:18, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greatest.''' I'm pretty sure I hear a consonant in there. --[[User:Blu Aardvark|Blu Aardvark]] [[user talk:Blu Aardvark|(talk)]] [[Special:Contributions/Blu Aardvark|(edits)]] 13:16, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:Okay guys, you can stop voting now. I'm pretty sure a consensus has been reached. ;) - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 13:25, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::Uh, did we consider '''gravest'''? I really think that's what he's saying, and it makes sense in the context. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 19:52, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:::No way, José. (It's funny 'cause that's really your name.) Seriously, the "I feel like a few dollars" remark (which is ''good'' for Strong Sad) doesn't fit with ''gravest''. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:06, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::Just curious here. How many of you are listening to H*R on a crisp headset? It's much easier tell what is being said on those, compared to awkward computer speakers. The "T" sound in '''Greatest''' is hardly audible, I'll give you that. But if you are a native speaker of English, you know very well that you can make an understood "T" sound by barely touching the roof of your mouth with your tongue. Go on, try saying it. I don't think too many of you would put any stress on the first T. [[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] over and out at 20:01, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC).
:::Ahh... Diction! (BTW I do have headsets but i haven't used them)... I learned once this little lesson thingy (don't know what it would be called) for when you sing: "'''D'''iction is '''d'''one with the '''t'''ip of the '''t'''ongue and the '''t'''eeth!" I just thought of that when you mentioned the '''T''' thing for native speakers. When you sing you have to enunciate, and make your consonants clear so the audience can hear, cuz in our everyday speech we just slur them out. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 02:39, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greatest:'''For the same reason '''It's dot Com''' said. -[[User:Young Roy|Young Roy]]

== Laugh or Cry ==

This may just be me but it sounds more like The Cheat is laughing mischievously while in the puke pail. Does anyone else think so or do I need my ears checked? [[User:Stinkoman Z|Stinkoman Z]]
:You need your ears checked. {{User:Camalex/sig}} 23:38, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
YEah. It also sounds like he might be doing a small bit O' pokun at the end part of his puke pail appearence. [[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]]
*'''Cry:'''It looks like, in my opinion, he's crying because he puked, and fell in the bucket, and has a hard time getting out, and crying because he's stuck in a bucket full of ''puke!''

== Puke pail ==

So, why didn't the puke pail get brought to Strong Bad? --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:10, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:Whoever was told to do so (The Cheat) was busy up-chucking. {{User:gwr2004/sig}} 00:14, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Up-chucking?! More like, puking really loudly! I don't get it at all. --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:18, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Um, up-chucking=puking {{User:Camalex/sig}} 00:19, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

How so? I think you're right. --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:23, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:They're synonyms. Also barf, throw up, spew, vomit, ralph, blow chunks, toss your cookies, toss a sidewalk pizza, Technicolour yawn, tango with the toilet, spiff your biscuits, regurgitate... Yeah... I collect synonyms for that. Call me crazy (I collect synonyms for 'crazy' too). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Okay, I know already! --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:29, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I'm not sure if The Cheat was up-chucking or that he got stuck in Strong Bad's puke pail somehow.
[[User:DaChazman|DaChazman]]

:He was sick. Everyone was sick. He wasn't just "stuck." - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 00:40, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

That's more than 1, eh? :-P So, in other words, I was doing something that multiple people agreed with, yet no one but you defended? Seriously, go hang out at "Recent Changes" for a while. TONS of stuff gets reverted, rarely by me. Yes, the internet changes, but stupid or obvious facts will forever remain stupid and/or obvious. {{User:Camalex/sig}} 02:01, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::::::::::::I defended you, Camalex, largely because very insulting language had made its way into the edit summaries. What stays and what goes in the Wiki is never really a measure of the absolute truth (or absolute "stupidity" or obviousness) of a given fact; the Wiki is a liquid that assumes the form of its users. Some facts never have a chance from the get go, but that's simply because the weight of opinion is so strong against them that they could be described as "stupid." (Though I'd rather not.) Like a river finding its way through mountains, the Wiki oscillates between conflicting opinions and finally stabilizes in something that expresses the average of those opinions. Sometimes it's a million to one; sometimes, like the infamous Family Guy, it's a hotly contested oscillation, and an uneasy stability. But, aside from obvious objective realities about the 'toons, the Wiki is a joint agreement of subjective opinions. If, years in the future, a generation of wikiers with completely different opinions about these things were in charge, the Wiki would adapt to the averaged contours of their opinions. I'm getting too wordy--my point is, it's understandable to be angered by the perception that your initial contributions to the Wiki are unwanted (I made several false starts for the same reason). I tried to squelch some dialogue that was not making the Wiki a "happy place"--so don't respond to it in kind. --[[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]] 05:09, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Gentlemen(?), gentlemen! The WRWiki is a lively place that often reminds me of gas in a compressed space. You have all these molecules bouncing and slamming and whipping around...well, to make the analogy make more sense, the molecules would have to have feelings. And know how to edit wiki-style. And know something about Homestar Runner. Regardless, sometimes the best laid edits of mice and diffrent mice get reverted, or changed, or deleted. It's frustrating, especially for those who want desperately to contribute. And sometimes this leads to a bit of testiness, or outright name-calling between users when things don't go exactly as they planned. My advice, as trite as it may sound, is ''relax''. Contributions, recognition and ''acceptance'' stack up with time, and letting set-backs freak you out or drag you down (to the point of feeling a persecution complex) isn't positive for anyone.

Taking things too personally can lead to the, um, Dark Side of Wikidom. Let me close with an awful limerick about a real experience I had that sort of relates to the issue:

<center>''There was once a anonymous user with an IP,'' 

''and I reverted some changes of he.'' 

''Not much did he like this,'' 

''and with a sure quickness,'' 

''he wrote some profane stuff about me.''</center>

But it is good to talk, good to vent. But ''relax''. We should all be able to work things out in a civil way. And maybe we'll all get closer to that "happy place." — {{User:Thesmokingmonkey/sig}} 12:57, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Sick Chaps? ==

Ever since 12AM Monday morning, I had been wondering why their was no new SB email for this week. Then this thing came out in the later the same day, as a toon. But I noticed it seemed like maybe it was originally intended to be an SB email, especially because Strong Bad got an email at the beginning. I was just thinking maybe Mike Chapman himself might have gotten sick, which could explain the lack of an SB email, and could have inspired the short itself. What does anyone else think about this?--[[User:Sanyo|Sanyo]] 06:47, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:There's certainly nothing unusual about a Monday release being late in the day. But what with all the talk of who's sick, it did cross my mind that maybe the inspiration was that TBC themselves had a bug. Of course they wouldn't be as incapacitated as everybody in the 'toon, or else they wouldn't feel like doing one any more than Strong Bad. Of course this remains the wildest of speculation; I just wanted to say it did cross my mind as well. --[[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]] 07:32, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:::Well actually I am in Japan, so because of the time difference I can`t check all day..so I saw it in the evening. Of course, I actually had no idea when it was posted. Just thought they are always in the early morning.
:::But still, this is a toon, not a SB email. That means that no SB email was released for this week. I`m just now thinking, maybe they posted as toon rather than an email because the question was never actually answered. Anyway, the thing I`m still wondering about is Matt and Mike.--[[User:Sanyo|Sanyo]] 04:53, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:I don't see why TBC would have to make it up. I'm pretty sure it's real. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 13:26, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::They've kind of made a point in the past of saying every single email is real and unedited. --[[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]] 18:28, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::They have to have gotten this question like 20 times by now, so it`s gotta be real.--[[User:Sanyo|Sanyo]] 04:38, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:A user at GameFAQ's said it was his exact email. He could be pulling my leg, but it probably is real. -[[User:Young Roy|Young Roy]]

== Strong Mad ==

According to the NQSBE {aka 'Sick Day'}, only Strong Mad's '''voice''' is heard, he, though, '''is not'''.
By [[User:Count X|Count_]][[User_Talk:Count X|X]]

I know. But it would stink in there until he was well again. --{{User:The 386/sig}} 21:22, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:I think he's implying that the cast should be edited because Strong Mad does not appear in person. Although I could be wrong, what you said doesn't really correlate to Count X's comment. {{User:Tom Epsilon/sig}}00:02, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Hands Shaking ==
On the page, it's said that Strong Bad's hands stop shaking after picking up the pointy tissue, and stay this way for the rest of the e-mail. However, if you look carefully, his hands are shaking again for the few seconds between Homestar's word problem and the Paper's appearance at the end of the e-mail.--[[User:KoopaTroopa211|KoopaTroopa211]] 04:27, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:You`re definitely right about that, his hands clearly start shaking again.--[[User:Sanyo|Sanyo]] 04:46, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I think the paper does come down, but sounds distorted as it comes down, which would lead it to being sick as well, but it's just a sheet of paper. --{{User:The 386/sig}} 19:22, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Wait... that's nothing like the discussion subject.

Strong Bad hasn't done another e-mail for quite some time now. He was severely ill, and maybe he died. I'm having an affair with this. --{{CedricLessig}} 4:22, 18 Oct 2005

== Fact? ==
I found something that should be a remark, but I'm not quite sure how I would word it, or if anyone would think it wasn't good enough or something. OK, you know how The Paper is crumbled, right? Well, the words on it/him are straight, no folding with the Paper's folds. You know what I mean? {{User:Salty/sig}} 05:07, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
:This has been brought up before, and kind of unofficially turned down. I mean, that's ''picayune'' nitpicking. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:22, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

== When the paper goes back up ==
It sounds like a scream.

Nicko9y: When the paper goes back up

== I feel so bad for the Cheat! ==

Ok, this may be minor, but it almost sounds like Homestar is saying "Four miles For hours" or "four miles four hours" instead of "Four miles per hour" Am I the only one? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 08:19, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::Yes.
:::Yeah, I went back and listened to it, and he *does* say "per hour" but his p is a little "ph"-afied. Incredible. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:25, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Is the The Paper's first appearance outside of a Strong Bad email? -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 14:02, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:[[Superbowl Dealie|No.]] - {{User:Joshua/sig}}

Yes. -[[User:Young Roy|Young Roy]]

-[[User:DaChazman|Dachazman]]

::Or (eerie music) maybe TBC ''made'' us sick today! --[[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]] 02:17, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I wasn't sick but my freind but they haven't heard of Homestar Runner! So it isn't a big coincedence there is something going round so maybe thats why they made this short -- [[User:Strong Lad|Strong Lad]]

This is weird. I'm at Uni right now and tons of people are sick. And I got ill one day after seeing the cartoon. And I'm in the UK!

== Grayest or Greatest? ==

"STRONG SAD: {groans} This is the ______ day of my life. I feel like a few dollars."

Alright, this has been changed multiple times now. Is he saying "grayest" or "greatest?" {{User:Camalex/sig}} 18:34, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

*'''Greatest.''' Not only is that I hear it as, but "grayest" doesn't make sense in context. (regarding the dollar sentence) - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 18:48, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greatest.''' I definitely hear a consonant in there. It's a little muffled because of his illness. The joke is that for a depressing person, being sick means he's actually having a good day. The second line is a play on "I feel like a million dollars," which only a person having the greatest day of their life would say. The ''grayest'' day of Strong Sad's life is every other day. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:50, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 19:27, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greatest.''' For exactly the reasons It's dot com gave. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
**That's what I thought. Then I came here and it said "grayest" so I was confused. It kept getting changed, so I just wanted to see what people said on it... {{User:Camalex/sig}} 18:52, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greatest.''' For all the reasons already stated. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:39, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greatest.''' See above, and earlier someone put ''greenest'', so I went back to hear it carefully, and indeed heard him pronounce the consontant! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:29, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Grayest.''' - when someone has the greatest day of their life, they feel like a million dollars. When someone has the grayest day, they only feel like a few dollars. Makes perfect sense.
** I know this isn't [[STUFF]], but sign your votes. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 03:44, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greatest.''' Strong Sad never has a good day, ever. It makes sense for him to think the greatest day of his life to be worth a couple bucks. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 21:45, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greenest!''' Seriously! That's what I thought when he said it. Why else would he say like he felt like some dollar bills? Also, his face looked green. [[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]]
*'''Greatest.''' The joke is that Strong Sad's day is better when he (or Strong Bad?) has a disease than normally. -[[User:AtionSong|AtionSong]] 23:36, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greatest.''' Exactly!!!!!!!!!(I also agree with the "Or Strong Bad?" thing) [[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]]
*'''Greediest.''' To me, Strong Sad is saying ''"greediest."'' How about any of you? {{User:gwr2004/sig}} 01:53, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)
**'''Comment.''' Greediest? "This is the greediest day of my life."?! That makes no sense, and I hear greatest. I think the conclusion is obvious now. - {{User:Joshua/sig}}
*'''Greatest.''' Not because it necessarily makes sense in context or in character or anything like that, but just because that's what it sounds like. Actually it sounds more like "Greadest" but anyone who's had a blocked nose knows that 't's are hard to pronounce and often come out as 'd's. {{User:phlip/sig}} 03:28, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greatest.''' Indeed, it is 'greatest.' The "t" is partially swallowed, (or, to take the "hooked on phonetics" route, his pronunciation has an incomplete plosive stop, muddying the sharpness of the "t"), but it is there. {{User:Thesmokingmonkey/sig}} 12:04, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greatest.''' The ''t'' is kind of blended with the ''est'', so I could see why people could think it was grayest. But, it's Greatest.--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 18:18, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greatest.''' I'm pretty sure I hear a consonant in there. --[[User:Blu Aardvark|Blu Aardvark]] [[user talk:Blu Aardvark|(talk)]] [[Special:Contributions/Blu Aardvark|(edits)]] 13:16, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:Okay guys, you can stop voting now. I'm pretty sure a consensus has been reached. ;) - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 13:25, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::Uh, did we consider '''gravest'''? I really think that's what he's saying, and it makes sense in the context. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 19:52, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:::No way, José. (It's funny 'cause that's really your name.) Seriously, the "I feel like a few dollars" remark (which is ''good'' for Strong Sad) doesn't fit with ''gravest''. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:06, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::Just curious here. How many of you are listening to H*R on a crisp headset? It's much easier tell what is being said on those, compared to awkward computer speakers. The "T" sound in '''Greatest''' is hardly audible, I'll give you that. But if you are a native speaker of English, you know very well that you can make an understood "T" sound by barely touching the roof of your mouth with your tongue. Go on, try saying it. I don't think too many of you would put any stress on the first T. [[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] over and out at 20:01, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC).
:::Ahh... Diction! (BTW I do have headsets but i haven't used them)... I learned once this little lesson thingy (don't know what it would be called) for when you sing: "'''D'''iction is '''d'''one with the '''t'''ip of the '''t'''ongue and the '''t'''eeth!" I just thought of that when you mentioned the '''T''' thing for native speakers. When you sing you have to enunciate, and make your consonants clear so the audience can hear, cuz in our everyday speech we just slur them out. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 02:39, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)

This may just be me but it sounds more like The Cheat is laughing mischievously while in the puke pail. Does anyone else think so or do I need my ears checked? [[User:Stinkoman Z|Stinkoman Z]]
:You need your ears checked. {{User:Camalex/sig}} 23:38, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
YEah. It also sounds like he might be doing a small bit O' pokun at the end part of his puke pail appearence. [[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]]

TONS of stuff gets reverted, rarely by me. Yes, the internet changes, but stupid or obvious facts will forever remain stupid and/or obvious. {{User:Camalex/sig}} 02:01, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::::::::::::I defended you, Camalex, largely because very insulting language had made its way into the edit summaries. What stays and what goes in the Wiki is never really a measure of the absolute truth (or absolute "stupidity" or obviousness) of a given fact; the Wiki is a liquid that assumes the form of its users. Some facts never have a chance from the get go, but that's simply because the weight of opinion is so strong against them that they could be described as "stupid." (Though I'd rather not.) Like a river finding its way through mountains, the Wiki oscillates between conflicting opinions and finally stabilizes in something that expresses the average of those opinions. Sometimes it's a million to one; sometimes, like the infamous Family Guy, it's a hotly contested oscillation, and an uneasy stability. But, aside from obvious objective realities about the 'toons, the Wiki is a joint agreement of subjective opinions. If, years in the future, a generation of wikiers with completely different opinions about these things were in charge, the Wiki would adapt to the averaged contours of their opinions. I'm getting too wordy--my point is, it's understandable to be angered by the perception that your initial contributions to the Wiki are unwanted (I made several false starts for the same reason). I tried to squelch some dialogue that was not making the Wiki a "happy place"--so don't respond to it in kind. --[[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]] 05:09, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Gentlemen(?), gentlemen! The WRWiki is a lively place that often reminds me of gas in a compressed space. You have all these molecules bouncing and slamming and whipping around...well, to make the analogy make more sense, the molecules would have to have feelings. And know how to edit wiki-style. And know something about Homestar Runner. Regardless, sometimes the best laid edits of mice and diffrent mice get reverted, or changed, or deleted. It's frustrating, especially for those who want desperately to contribute. And sometimes this leads to a bit of testiness, or outright name-calling between users when things don't go exactly as they planned. My advice, as trite as it may sound, is ''relax''. Contributions, recognition and ''acceptance'' stack up with time, and letting set-backs freak you out or drag you down (to the point of feeling a persecution complex) isn't positive for anyone.

Taking things too personally can lead to the, um, Dark Side of Wikidom. Let me close with an awful limerick about a real experience I had that sort of relates to the issue:

<center>''There was once a anonymous user with an IP,'' 

''and I reverted some changes of he.'' 

''Not much did he like this,'' 

''and with a sure quickness,'' 

''he wrote some profane stuff about me.''</center>

But it is good to talk, good to vent. But ''relax''. We should all be able to work things out in a civil way. And maybe we'll all get closer to that "happy place." — {{User:Thesmokingmonkey/sig}} 12:57, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Wow, you're so smart. We never realized that. [/sarcasm] Seriously, that was pretty obvious. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 22:58, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I am so smart, aren't I? I guess no one would want to go in there. If that happened, the air would be let out. --{{User:The 386/sig}} 00:32, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:That was kind of the whole point of the joke >.> {{User:Camalex/sig}} 01:53, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Sick Chaps? ==

Ever since 12AM Monday morning, I had been wondering why their was no new SB email for this week. Then this thing came out in the later the same day, as a toon. But I noticed it seemed like maybe it was originally intended to be an SB email, especially because Strong Bad got an email at the beginning. I was just thinking maybe Mike Chapman himself might have gotten sick, which could explain the lack of an SB email, and could have inspired the short itself. What does anyone else think about this?--[[User:Sanyo|Sanyo]] 06:47, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:There's certainly nothing unusual about a Monday release being late in the day. But what with all the talk of who's sick, it did cross my mind that maybe the inspiration was that TBC themselves had a bug. Of course they wouldn't be as incapacitated as everybody in the 'toon, or else they wouldn't feel like doing one any more than Strong Bad. Of course this remains the wildest of speculation; I just wanted to say it did cross my mind as well. --[[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]] 07:32, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::Actually, this toon came out before 8:00 AM CDT. Is this late in the day? {{User:gwr2004/sig}} 12:56, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:::Well actually I am in Japan, so because of the time difference I can`t check all day..so I saw it in the evening. Of course, I actually had no idea when it was posted. Just thought they are always in the early morning.
:::But still, this is a toon, not a SB email. That means that no SB email was released for this week. I`m just now thinking, maybe they posted as toon rather than an email because the question was never actually answered. Anyway, the thing I`m still wondering about is Matt and Mike.--[[User:Sanyo|Sanyo]] 04:53, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::::There's always the possibility that they want a few more toons for the new dvd that they're releasing.... [[User:Alcnolien|Alcnolien]] 12:23, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:::::This is a bit old, but I thought I'd mention it anyways. All theories of the Bros. Chaps being sick were correct. The DVD reveals that Matt was sick and the voices were all messed up as a result. Hence, this toon. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Real Email ==

Does anyone know if this is a real email or not?
:I don't see why TBC would have to make it up. I'm pretty sure it's real. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 13:26, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::They've kind of made a point in the past of saying every single email is real and unedited. --[[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]] 18:28, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::They have to have gotten this question like 20 times by now, so it`s gotta be real.--[[User:Sanyo|Sanyo]] 04:38, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:A user at GameFAQ's said it was his exact email. He could be pulling my leg, but it probably is real. -[[User:Young Roy|Young Roy]]

== Strong Mad ==

According to the NQSBE {aka 'Sick Day'}, only Strong Mad's '''voice''' is heard, he, though, '''is not'''.
By [[User:Count X|Count_]][[User_Talk:Count X|X]]

I know. But it would stink in there until he was well again. --{{User:The 386/sig}} 21:22, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:I think he's implying that the cast should be edited because Strong Mad does not appear in person. Although I could be wrong, what you said doesn't really correlate to Count X's comment. {{User:Tom Epsilon/sig}}00:02, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Hands Shaking ==
On the page, it's said that Strong Bad's hands stop shaking after picking up the pointy tissue, and stay this way for the rest of the e-mail. However, if you look carefully, his hands are shaking again for the few seconds between Homestar's word problem and the Paper's appearance at the end of the e-mail.--[[User:KoopaTroopa211|KoopaTroopa211]] 04:27, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:You`re definitely right about that, his hands clearly start shaking again.--[[User:Sanyo|Sanyo]] 04:46, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I think the paper does come down, but sounds distorted as it comes down, which would lead it to being sick as well, but it's just a sheet of paper. --{{User:The 386/sig}} 19:22, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Wait... that's nothing like the discussion subject.

Strong Bad hasn't done another e-mail for quite some time now. He was severely ill, and maybe he died. I'm having an affair with this. --{{CedricLessig}} 4:22, 18 Oct 2005

== Fact? ==
I found something that should be a remark, but I'm not quite sure how I would word it, or if anyone would think it wasn't good enough or something. OK, you know how The Paper is crumbled, right? Well, the words on it/him are straight, no folding with the Paper's folds. You know what I mean? {{User:Salty/sig}} 05:07, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
:This has been brought up before, and kind of unofficially turned down. I mean, that's ''picayune'' nitpicking. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:22, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

== We need to have links/comments... ==

After the DVD part, about Martha Stewart and that medicine he mentioned.--[[User:Robert Benedicio|Robert Benedicio]] 05:41, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
:You're right. I transcribed this commentary, but I haven't been busying myself too much with the Fun Facts yet. I'll probably get to it later. But if you want it soon, you could do it yourself. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:45, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Okay, I did so, and now I feel more...useful and less...a drain upon modern society.--[[User:Robert Benedicio|Robert Benedicio]] 06:19, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

== When the paper goes back up ==

It sounds like a scream.
Like "waaaa!" Is it just me? I made the changes bu it got reverted

Fan Stuff

Nicko9y — Fri, 03 Mar 2006 04:10:19 GMT

Nicko9y: /* List of Fan Stuff */ Missing captions? I don't think so

{{about|Fan Stuff museum}} {{for|weekly updated fanstuff which began on January 27, 2004|Weekly Fanstuff}}

'''Fan Stuff''' was a [[Museum]] collection of early fan-submitted material. The tremendous inflow of fan art and projects prompted [[The Brothers Chaps]] to later have a more selective [[Weekly Fanstuff]] feature on the [[Main Pages|Main Page]]. The comments for some of the pictures are meant to be taken humorously, so in the [[Email FAQ]] it asked that one shouldn't write them with corrections. On February 14, 2006, the link from the Museum was taken away, but it is still accessible through the external links.

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

{{Comp|Lappy 486}}

'''Date:''' February 20, 2006

'''Running Time:''' 3:11

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

==Transcript==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rapping}'' I was born to check emails and eat lots of cake!

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: dream book</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
I had a dream that my friend had a Strong Bad 
pop-up book. It was the book of my dreams. 
Kat 
Spokane, Wash.
</blockquote>

''{After reading the main part of the email once, Strong Bad repeats it twice as a rap. He says "Wash." as the word "wash".}'' 

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

''{Cut back to show The Cheat next to his keyboard}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, all right. One more time.

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

''{Strong Bad jumps on his stool and dances as The Cheat plays on his keyboard and dances.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rapping}'' I had a dream that my friend had a Strong Bad pop-up book! It was the book of my dreeeams! ''{on "dreams", he jumps up, almost hits the ceiling, and lands on his stool}'' There you go, little one. Now get back in there and win me a car!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{affirmative The Cheat noises; he rushes off.}''

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know, I feel like that sentence could really apply to anything. ''{moves the cursor up to "pop-up book" and replaces it with "salad".}'' Like, uh, "I had a dream that my friend had a Strong Bad salad. ''{scrolls over toward the other "book" and replaces it with "salad" as well.}'' It was the salad of my dreams." Or maybe like, ''{adds "taco" before each "salad"}'' "I had a dream that my friend had a Strong Bad taco salad. It was the taco salad of my dreams." ''{moves the cursor below the email, types}'' Anyways, a Strong Bad pop-up book. This sounds like a job for: makin' stuff up.

''{Cut to an image of a pop-up book. The inside cover reads "From the libarry  of D. Squirrel" with a dead squirrel drawn in. The first page reads "STRONG BAD'S POP-UP BOOK of your dreams by Strong Bad, for Strong Bad".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The Strong Bad pop-up book would obviously feature...

''{The page turns to show Strong Bad near two cherubs. The text reads "This is a good kid." A tab is seen under Strong Bad's head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...me hangin' out with some of those wing-a-ling babies! ''{The cherubs bob up and down}'' And I'd have a little tab on my flesh-tangle so you could make me talk! ''{As the pop-up Strong Bad, who waves his arms}'' You little almost-naked babies are so cute, I could just dip you in beer batter and fry you right up! ''{As the cherubs, who bob up and down}'' Okay, Mr. Strong Bad! ''{as himself}'' Oh! And don't forget the ab-tab!

''{The tab moves over and Strong Bad's chest obtains Sharpie abs. The page turns to reveal an image of a computer resembling the Tandy 400. On its screen is the message "HOW TYPE BOX GLOVES?" Two tabs are visible, one to the right of the screen and one on the keyboard. A speaker can also be seen on the keyboard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey look! It's my crappy old computer! Asking the same crappy old questions!

''{The tab on the screen moves and the screen changes to "DELETED!!"}''

'''SPEAKER:''' ''{very indistinctly}'' Deleted!

'''STRONG BAD:''' The lake head? What does that mean?

''{The tab goes back, taking the screen with it, and changes to "DELETED!!" again.}''

'''SPEAKER:''' Deleted!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Police quest?! This thing is obviously broken.

''{The other tab is pulled, and smoke appears above the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No wonder I got rid of that old buncha beige.

''{The page turns. Strong Sad is seen covered in cement. A backhoe, cement mixer, and Strong Bad in a construction outfit are seen in the background. The text reads "Strong Sad is covered in Gray cement" with "Gray cement" in a box. A turning wheel is seen on the right, and another tab is seen at the bottom.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, look! Strong Sad has wandered onto my construction site. What sweet fate did I bestow on him from the cement mixer? ''{The wheel turns, the liquid on Strong Sad turns red, and the box reads "Ram's blood".}'' Ram's blood? ''{The wheel turns, the color becomes light yellow, and the box reads "Boston Cream".}'' Boston cream? ''{Again, to a transitional color and "Magic Eye".}'' Magic Eye? Don't forget the flab-tab! ''{The tab is pulled out, and Strong Sad's upper body flips down to make him look flabbier.}''

''{The page turns to a "NegativeZero" fridge. It has a sticky note on it that reads "2 more eggs!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The next page is snack time! What am I gonna have to eat today?

''{The door opens to reveal a single burger patty with two pickle slices on it. A carton of "mmmilk", two eggs, a small paper box, a bottle of "pop!", and a jar of mayo are drawn onto the back.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! A real-live burger! Do I get one of these every time I turn the page?!

''{The page turns back to the last one, and then to the fridge again. When the door opens this time, there are two burgers inside.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! ''Two'' burgers! ''{Gavin appears from under a flap and crawls around a little}'' Clearly, this pop-up book ''{The fridge door closes, and Gavin crawls out from under it a moment later}'' is a source of unspeakable power.

''{Spooky music plays. The page then turns to Homestar Runner's image, which has a black eye and two saws stuck through him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Why look. It's the Homestar Runner! ''{pauses for a moment}'' Bye, the Homestar Runner!

''{The page turns to extremely cartoony images of Strong Bad and The Cheat in front of a cave. The sun can be seen overhead, and there's a tree in front of the cave. There's a tab above the cave and one at the bottom of the page.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{rapidly decreasing volume}'' SeeyalaterStrongBaaa...

''{A wheel under the cutouts of the sun rays starts moving back and forth.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh-oh! It looks like The Cheato Bandito has stolen all of Senor Muybueno's gold!

''{The tree flips down, revealing a pile of gold underneath.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's help him get some Cheatsabution.

''{The lower tab is pulled and pushed back several times, and as it does, "Senor Muybueno"'s foot rises and "The Cheato Bandito" moves upward.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Boot 'em up, boot 'em up, boot 'em up, y'all. This is like kicking The Cheat light! All of the flavor, with only half the chance of rabies!

''{The upper tab is pulled, and a bear pokes down in the cave. The tree goes back to normal, and the page turns. Strong Bad's head, with flashing lights for eyes, is in the center. Two towers with ropes between them, and The Tire hanging from them, is in the upper-left, with a sliding tab below it. A "Cold One" is seen to the right of that, with a turn wheel above it. Near it is the BMW Lighter, with a pull tab to its right. A box is in the lower right. A cherub over a "FAT FRYER" is in the lower left, with a tab to its left. In the background, it reads "Slide! Spin! Grasp! Pull! His Head! Tap the flabs! Pull!!!" near each object.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And the last page would be a veritable cornucop-pourri of pop-up mastery!

''{The various objects all move. The Tire simply falls off its wires. The Cold One has its label replaced over and over. The BMW opens up with a flame, and closes. The box flips over, revealing the same box tipped the other way. The cherub moves into and out of the fryer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' There'd be tabs and flaps, flabs and taps, a string thing that doesn't work, and some more sound chips and dips.

'''SPEAKER:''' Holy crap!

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===

*While the name "Senor Muybueno" has no inherent meaning by itself, the corrected Spanish name "Señor Muy Bueno" means "Mister Very Good" in English.
*The "string thing that doesn't work" is most likely a reference to many real life pop-up books that sometimes contain a piece of string that you pull to make something happen instead of pulling a tab or turning a wheel. This contraption does, in fact, almost always break.

===Trivia===

*This is the first time we see the ceiling of the computer room, or any other room on the same level of the [[House of the Brothers Strong|house]]. 
*The [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads [[Floppy Disk Container#codename iceman|"codename: iceman"]].
*Decompiling the SWF reveals that the Magic Eye image is a working stereogram of Saturn, from [http://www.vision3d.com/book.html ''Magic Eye: How to See 3-D''].
*This is the first time that we have seen Strong Bad's tremendous jumping abilities.

===Remarks===

*Although smoke is shown coming out of the computer in the pop-up book, the [[Tandy 400]] actually met its demise due to an explosion, not overheating.
*When Strong Bad mentions the sound quality has improved since page 2, he is referring to the second pop-up spread. With a traditional page-counting method, this would be pages 4 and 5.

===Goofs===

*When Strong Bad turns back to the Strong Sad page to create another burger, the flab tab is back off.

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

==Transcript==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rapping}'' I was born to check emails and eat lots of cake!

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: dream book</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
I had a dream that my friend had a Strong Bad 
pop-up book. It was the book of my dreams. 
Kat 
Spokane, Wash.
</blockquote>

''{After reading the main part of the email once, Strong Bad repeats it twice as a rap. He says "Wash." as the word "wash".}'' 

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

''{Cut back to show The Cheat next to his keyboard}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, all right. One more time.

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

''{Strong Bad jumps on his stool and dances as The Cheat plays on his keyboard and dances.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rapping}'' I had a dream that my friend had a Strong Bad pop-up book! It was the book of my dreeeams! ''{on "dreams", he jumps up, almost hits the ceiling, and lands on his stool}'' There you go, little one. Now get back in there and win me a car!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{affirmative The Cheat noises; he rushes off.}''

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know, I feel like that sentence could really apply to anything. ''{moves the cursor up to "pop-up book" and replaces it with "salad".}'' Like, uh, "I had a dream that my friend had a Strong Bad salad. ''{scrolls over toward the other "book" and replaces it with "salad" as well.}'' It was the salad of my dreams." Or maybe like, ''{adds "taco" before each "salad"}'' "I had a dream that my friend had a Strong Bad taco salad. It was the taco salad of my dreams." ''{moves the cursor below the email, types}'' Anyways, a Strong Bad pop-up book. This sounds like a job for: makin' stuff up.

''{Cut to an image of a pop-up book. The inside cover reads "From the libarry  of D. Squirrel" with a dead squirrel drawn in. The first page reads "STRONG BAD'S POP-UP BOOK of your dreams by Strong Bad, for Strong Bad".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The Strong Bad pop-up book would obviously feature...

''{The page turns to show Strong Bad near two cherubs. The text reads "This is a good kid." A tab is seen under Strong Bad's head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...me hangin' out with some of those wing-a-ling babies! ''{The cherubs bob up and down}'' And I'd have a little tab on my flesh-tangle so you could make me talk! ''{As the pop-up Strong Bad, who waves his arms}'' You little almost-naked babies are so cute, I could just dip you in beer batter and fry you right up! ''{As the cherubs, who bob up and down}'' Okay, Mr. Strong Bad! ''{as himself}'' Oh! And don't forget the ab-tab!

''{The tab moves over and Strong Bad's chest obtains Sharpie abs. The page turns to reveal an image of a computer resembling the Tandy 400. On its screen is the message "HOW TYPE BOX GLOVES?" Two tabs are visible, one to the right of the screen and one on the keyboard. A speaker can also be seen on the keyboard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey look! It's my crappy old computer! Asking the same crappy old questions!

''{The tab on the screen moves and the screen changes to "DELETED!!"}''

'''SPEAKER:''' ''{very indistinctly}'' Deleted!

'''STRONG BAD:''' The lake head? What does that mean?

''{The tab goes back, taking the screen with it, and changes to "DELETED!!" again.}''

'''SPEAKER:''' Deleted!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Police quest?! This thing is obviously broken.

''{The other tab is pulled, and smoke appears above the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No wonder I got rid of that old buncha beige.

''{The page turns. Strong Sad is seen covered in cement. A backhoe, cement mixer, and Strong Bad in a construction outfit are seen in the background. The text reads "Strong Sad is covered in Gray cement" with "Gray cement" in a box. A turning wheel is seen on the right, and another tab is seen at the bottom.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, look! Strong Sad has wandered onto my construction site. What sweet fate did I bestow on him from the cement mixer? ''{The wheel turns, the liquid on Strong Sad turns red, and the box reads "Ram's blood".}'' Ram's blood? ''{The wheel turns, the color becomes light yellow, and the box reads "Boston Cream".}'' Boston cream? ''{Again, to a transitional color and "Magic Eye".}'' Magic Eye? Don't forget the flab-tab! ''{The tab is pulled out, and Strong Sad's upper body flips down to make him look flabbier.}''

''{The page turns to a "NegativeZero" fridge. It has a sticky note on it that reads "2 more eggs!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The next page is snack time! What am I gonna have to eat today?

''{The door opens to reveal a single burger patty with two pickle slices on it. A carton of "mmmilk", two eggs, a small paper box, a bottle of "pop!", and a jar of mayo are drawn onto the back.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! A real-live burger! Do I get one of these every time I turn the page?!

''{The page turns back to the last one, and then to the fridge again. When the door opens this time, there are two burgers inside.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! ''Two'' burgers! ''{Gavin appears from under a flap and crawls around a little}'' Clearly, this pop-up book ''{The fridge door closes, and Gavin crawls out from under it a moment later}'' is a source of unspeakable power.

''{Spooky music plays. The page then turns to Homestar Runner's image, which has a black eye and two saws stuck through him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Why look. It's the Homestar Runner! ''{pauses for a moment}'' Bye, the Homestar Runner!

''{The page turns to extremely cartoony images of Strong Bad and The Cheat in front of a cave. The sun can be seen overhead, and there's a tree in front of the cave. There's a tab above the cave and one at the bottom of the page.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{rapidly decreasing volume}'' SeeyalaterStrongBaaa...

''{A wheel under the cutouts of the sun rays starts moving back and forth.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh-oh! It looks like The Cheato Bandito has stolen all of Senor Muybueno's gold!

''{The tree flips down, revealing a pile of gold underneath.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's help him get some Cheatsabution.

''{The lower tab is pulled and pushed back several times, and as it does, "Strong Bad"'s foot rises and "The Cheato Bandito" moves upward.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Boot 'em up, boot 'em up, boot 'em up, y'all. This is like kicking The Cheat light! All of the flavor, with only half the chance of rabies!

''{The upper tab is pulled, and a bear pokes down in the cave. The tree goes back to normal, and the page turns. Strong Bad's head, with flashing lights for eyes, is in the center. Two towers with ropes between them, and The Tire hanging from them, is in the upper-left, with a sliding tab below it. A "Cold One" is seen to the right of that, with a turn wheel above it. Near it is the BMW Lighter, with a pull tab to its right. A box is in the lower right. A cherub over a "FAT FRYER" is in the lower left, with a tab to its left. In the background, it reads "Slide! Spin! Grasp! Pull! His Head! Tap the flabs! Pull!!!" near each object.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And the last page would be a veritable cornucop-pourri of pop-up mastery!

''{The various objects all move. The Tire simply falls off its wires. The Cold One has its label replaced over and over. The BMW opens up with a flame, and closes. The box flips over, revealing the same box tipped the other way. The cherub moves into and out of the fryer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' There'd be tabs and flaps, flabs and taps, a string thing that doesn't work, and some more sound chips and dips.

'''SPEAKER:''' Holy crap!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sounds like they improved on the technology since page 2! Aaaaaand, don't forget the crap-flap!

''{A flap turns down with a pile of whatsit underneath. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So now the pop-up book is primed and ready for the four year-old, or The Cheat, in your life to use as a tissue! That thing'll provide seconds of non-ripped apart fun! Speaking of seconds, I'm gonna go eat my burgers.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hassaro! Heesaro! Hassaro! Heesaro!

''{Reading email}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Strong Bad, 
I am going on a long trip and won't be 
able to check out "Homestar Runner's 
Website" for a long time. What do you 
think the greatest advancement for 
Strong Badia will be in the next 2 
years? 
 
Your Main Man, 
E. Fullmer</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "Strong Bad" stressing "Strong" as if it were "Dear," says "Homestar has a website?" after reading "Homestar Runner's Website for a long time" and says "Oh..." before reading the signature}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Umm, Endiment...? ''{typing}'' Hang on Endiment. Just for the record, my main man is, and has been since 1987, Van Mundegaarde. And don't you forget it! ''{not typing, a little picture of Strong Bad with a note from Strong Bad to Van comes down}'' Oh, Van, the times we shared. ''{typing}'' Well, as you know, Endy, Strong Badia is on the cutting edge of the future. I can easily predict that the population will have tripled in two years.

''{Cut to Strong Badia}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So by then it will be population: tire and...bundt cake pan.

''{A bundt cake pan appears out of nowhere. The sign changes its population list accordingly.}''

'''STRONG BAD:'''...and Coach Z.

''{Coach Z appears behind the fence, facing away from the camera. The sign changes its population list accordingly again.}''

'''COACH Z:''' I'm takin' a leak!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I also have some good news for you single ladies out there. The cinder block is going to break up with the sign.

''{The stopsign moves away from the cinder block, and a letter from the cinder block to the sign appears on-screen:}''

<pre>Dear Stopsign,
You are a stopsign and I am a
cinderblock. Therefore I think
we should break up. I hope we
can still be's friends.
-Cinderblock</pre>

'''CINDER BLOCK:''' Dear Stop Sign, you are a stop sign and I am a cinder block.

''{The letter disappears}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Ooh! And we will also have developed a world-class hole.

''{A hole appears in the ground}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And by then, hopefully the Cheat will be finished with the mural I commissioned him to paint on the fence...

''{A mural of the words "FIREWORKS or die" appears on the fence}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...like a freakin' year ago. Slowbie. Oh yeah, and the tire will have definitely won the title.

''(A belt appears on the tire and an invisible crowd cheers.)''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And finally, Strong Sad will have actually succeeded in becoming more whiny.

''{Strong Sad appears out of nowhere}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{pouty voice}'' I don't like food anymore!

''{Cut back to the Compy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Augh! So annoying. Oh, that reminds me. I should probably go let Strong Sad outta the dryer. He's been in there since breakfast.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. After about 15 seconds, Strong Bad gets up. Cut to the dryer. Strong Bad opens it, and discovers a dizzy, fluffy The Cheat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the—? The Cheat?! Where the crap did I leave Strong Sad?

''{Cut to The King of Town's grill. It's closed, but we can hear Strong Sad's voice from within.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, hello? Can anybody hear me? The Cheat has a really nice place in here. And none of his shirts fit me.

''{Cut back to the Compy, with Strong Bad sitting at it as before.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*You can click on the words "Homestar Runner's Website" to see a quick peek at [[Homestar's Website|Homestar's crappy website]].
*After you wait and see what happened to Strong Sad, you can click on the reflection of Strong Bad's Blue Diamond to see the advertisement for the "Rematch" between Strong Mad and the [[Tire]].
:''{Cut to black screen.}''
:'''VOICEOVER:''' Revenge. ''{Everything he says echoes ridiculously; the word "REVENGE" appears in red on the screen and Strong Mad is seen on the left, half-lit. He then disappears.}'' Vengeance. ''{The word "VENGEANCE" is now seen on the screen and the Tire, as with Strong Mad, appears half-lit on the right; it also disappears}'' Vengeful. ''{the word "VENGEFUL" appears and Strong Mad appears as before, more briefly this time.}'' Revengeanceful. ''{The same happens, this time with the Tire; it disappears, then Strong Mad is seen straight on, coming closer to the screen.}'' This Sunday, watch as Strong Mad attempts to reclaim the title ''{Title belts appear around Strong Mad's eyes, and his face starts fading into red}'' from Strong Badia heavyweight champion, ''{the whole screen turns red and the Tire appears on the screen, growing toward us.}'' the Tire. Tire Madness. ''{A red Tire Madness logo appears, flashes, and explodes onto the screen, which briefly turns yellow, then reverts to red.}'' Only on pay per view. ''{The words "ONLY ON PAY PER VIEW!!!" flash in yellow at the bottom.}''

==Fun Facts==

===Trivia===
*It is now revealed the [[Cinderblock]] is male, and the [[Stop Sign]] is female.
*It's been confirmed that E. Fullmer's first initial stands for "Elder" Fullmer, indicating that he is about to become a Mormon missionary. This could explain why he will be going on a two-year trip and will not be able to check the website for two years, as that is how long Mormon missionaries serve, and they are usually not allowed to use the Internet during that time.
*The Homestar portrait on his website is done using the [[Wikipedia:repousse|repoussé]] technique.
* The "Tire Madness" Logo is similar to the logo used by the now-defunct WCW organization.

===Remarks===
*The [[No Loafing Sign|No Loafing]] sign can be seen when Strong Bad finds The Cheat in the dryer, though the sign is known to be located in the Computer Room.
*This email was released in September 2003, so the changes Strong Bad mentions should have come into fruition by now. To date, none of these predictions has panned out.
*[[Strong Bad]] doesn't look much different in [[1987]].
*The fact that Strong Sad says "The Cheat really has a nice place in here" while he is in [[The King of Town's Grill|the King of Town's grill]] can confirm that the the king's grill is much more spacious on the inside than it looks.

===Inside References===
*The music that plays when the Cinderblock's note is displayed is the same music that played in [[A Decemberween Pageant]] when Marzipan was talking to The Cheat (right after Strong Bad had said, "There's a squid.") and, later, in [[pom pom]] when Strong Bad is writing the letter to [[Pom Pom]]'s parents.
*Strong Sad in [[The King of Town's Grill]] is a reference to [[Where's The Cheat?]].

== DVD Version ==
*The Homestar's website Easter egg is actually part of the email. When you switch the angle using the angle button on your DVD remote, it pops up like a regular webpage window and sticks around for ten or fifteen seconds.
*The Cheat in the Dryer and Strong Sad in the Grill Easter eggs have now been separated. You can now find Strong Sad by selecting a hidden Strong Bad icon in the lower-left corner of the Compy 386 screen.
