YK: Wh-what?!?!?!?! Who's this "YK" guy again?

== Welcome! ==
Welcome to the '''Homestar Runner Wiki!''' I wanted to extend a personal welcome, since I believe strongly that a [[Wikipedia:Wiki|Wiki]] should be a democratic and non-threatening place where everyone feels like they can contribute. Unfortunately it can be very frustrating at first if you make changes that are ignored or changed back by other users, but if so I encourage you to hang in there; as you get a feel for the way things are done around here you'll feel more at home. That was my experience, anyway!

If you need any help, feel free to ask anyone on the [[HRWiki:Welcoming committee#Members|welcoming committee]] (like [[User_talk:AbdiViklas|me]]!). You can also post questions on the [[HRWiki talk:FAQ|FAQ talk page]].

Here are some tips to get you started:
* The best way to start is with the [[HRWiki:Introduction]], followed by a brief tour of the wiki: [[HRWiki:Tour|HRWiki tour]]!
* If you need general information, editing tips, or answers to frequently asked questions, check out the [[Help:Contents|help]] page.
* Before you do any significant editing, be sure to familiarize yourself with our [[HRWiki:Standards|wiki standards]].
* Read up on the rules and guidelines for your [[HRWiki:User space|user page]]. What you're reading right now, by the way, is the "Talk:" page that goes with your user page. It's a good way to communicate directly with specific users. The best way to respond, though, is on the same user page where the conversation was started. E.g. if you have a question, go to my [[User_talk:AbdiViklas|user talk page]] and edit it, then watch my page (via [[Special:Recentchanges|Recent changes]]) for a response.
* If you're not sure what you can do to help out, head over to [[HRWiki:The Stick|The Stick]].
* If you're looking for more community interaction, you can also register over at our [http://forum.hrwiki.org forum] and get More Community Interaction Than You Or Your Grandmother Can Handle!
* Above all, '''be bold''' and have fun!

Feel free to delete this message when you're done reading it. (In general, it's frowned on to delete other people's input on talk pages, but this entry is just here to be helpful. When it's done being helpful, I guarantee you won't hurt my feelings by ditching it!)

Sincerely, 
[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] and [[HRWiki:Welcoming committee#Members|the rest of the welcoming committee]] (23:00, 2 January 2006 (UTC))

ok, even though abdi beat me to you, um.........thanks for joining the wiki! [[User:Seriously|Seriously]] 23:06, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

:Yeah, sorry for doing what I just complained about earlier (beating somebody to the welcome)! —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 23:21, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

==Signature==
To answer your question, one would leave a signature by typing four tildes (<code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>). -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 23:14, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
:''{EDIT CONFLICT (i.e. written at the same time as the above edit)}''Hey YK! Here's the easiest way to sign something: type some tildes, like <nowiki>~~~</nowiki>. If you use three it will automatically turn into your Username (linked to your user page); four will turn into the same thing plus the time and date; and five will turn into ''just'' the time and date. And as for figuring out how things are done, I highly recommend the links in my welcome message above, especially [[Help:Contents|Help]]. (And, as you start doing more editting, the standards.) But really the best way to catch on is to hang out monitoring [[Special:Recentchanges|Recent changes]] and see what people do and say. Now, check out what happens when I use <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>: —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 23:21, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Lemme give it a try here... [[User:YK|YK]] 23:36, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Ah, good. Now I suppose I should make an "about me" page... eh. I'll do that later. =P Thanks for the help, guys. [[User:YK|YK]] 23:36, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

== Strong Bad's Website on STUFF ==

Hi there, YK. I've removed your STUFF page on [[Strong Bad's Website]] because you're arguments were correct: [[bottom 10]] came out two years after [[website]]; therefore, the fact was pointless and has been removed. Thanks! {{User:FireBird/sig}} 01:46, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
:Ok, thanks for letting me know. I made a comment in the Talk page for said site, but it went unanswered for a week or so, so I decided STUFFing it might get it some notice. I thought it was kinda silly, but I didn't want to outright delete it, so...yeah. =P -[[User:YK|YK]] 01:52, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

== Good userpage ==
Y'know, I have to admit, Your userpage is pretty good. There's one problem: You should upload an image. If you know to cut and paste, than you could click on edit when visiting my userpage. when you click edit, you'll see how I put an image up. Just cut and paste, and customize the images any way you want! This way, you're userpage wil be great. Talk atcha later, — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 14:58, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
:Ah, thanks for the compliment. Thing is, I don't really have any ideas for pictures to add there at the moment... though I'll upload any if I do. -[[User:YK|YK]] 05:02, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

==Sig==

I fixed those links for you, let somebody know if you need any help designing your sig. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 04:38, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

:Man, you guys are quick! Well, I read all the how-tos and stuff sometime back, but I ended up lost. At the least, it never mentioned how to include a small picture. I'm still fairly new to wiki...ing, so, can you (or someone else) explain that part to me? Beyond that, I'll try to wing it. -[[User:YK|YK]] 04:44, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

::Click "preferences" (one of the options at the very top), and paste this into the line that says "nickname":

<pre>{{User:YK/sig}}</pre>
::Make sure the "raw signatures" box is checked. ({{done}}). When you've done that, let me know, and make sure to sign so we know if it's right or not. :) {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 04:53, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I think I've got [[the basics]] figured out. However, knowing what that particular SBEmail means doesn't help me with my sig issue. =P

In all seriousness, I've figured out what to do. I've never messed with the buttons at the top of the edit pages before. However, I'm not sure what to do about adding colors and/or pictures. Currently, I just italicized my nick as a test. If it works, and if I can get some help with what I just said... I'll improve it. Thanks. -{{User:YK/sig}} 05:06, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

== Removing non-arguments ==

It sounded like you were hesitant to {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=STUFF:Drive-Thru&curid=33011&diff=432272&oldid=432270 remove this non-argument}}. Don't be. You did the exact right thing. :) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:21, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

== STUFF ==

I just read [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=rough_copy&diff=446595&oldid=446530&rcid=398783 this] — I don't think you need to STUFF it. If somebody strongly believes in it, then it's their job to start the STUFF process. Talk atcha later! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 23:10, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

:Point. I'll let someone else STUFF it, then. -{{User:YK/sig}} 23:11, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

::Cool, thanks. Just wanted to save you some effort :) {{User:Trey56/sig}} 23:12, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

== Fraternal Order of Referential Explanations Local 4157 ==

Good call on moving my comment from Real-World References to Explanations. That's exactly where it belonged. I was so disappointed when I checked this evening and my "Reference" wasn't there anymore, only to realize I'd simply put it in the wrong section to begin with and you'd corrected that! -{{User:ReverendTed/sig}} 03:24, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

== This section is a reference to your edit ==

I'm gonna go ahead and give you some brownie points for [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=original&diff=495894&oldid=495893 this edit]. Good jorb! :-){{User:Loafing/sig}} 04:41, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
:Heh. Thanks. Actually, I was about to outright delete that fact as a stretch, but decided I'd look at the transcript for A Jumping Jack Contest first. And sure enough, it *does* seem to be the same line. Still, I've seen the word "reference" on this wiki so many times, it's all but lost its meaning, so I like to use worthwhile substitutions when possible. =P -{{User:YK/sig}} 04:44, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

== Please be to not stomping on other people's talkin's. ==

On [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Talk:web_comics&diff=next&oldid=505776 Talk:web_comics] it looks like you had a bit of an edit conflict or something, and just steamrolled right over other people's edits. On talk pages, I believe that's considered impolite at best, and downright malicious at worst. You're generally not supposed to edit what other people say. I'd suggest rolling back your edit to recover what Dementedc and KieferSkunk said, then add your own paragraph in properly. I'd have rolled it back myself, but that would have made it a little harder for you to repost your paragraph, so I thought I'd leave that in your hands. The other option is to have an admin sort the edits out, they might be able to fix it cleanly. -- [[User:Laser-Grilled Crab & Cheese Sandwich|LGC&CS]] 22:31, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

<s>:Err... what? I, er, inserted my post in the conversation where it belonged, as I was specifically responding to Kiefer. If I accidentally removed posts, it was an accident (perhaps due to the fact that I accidentally editted an older version of the page) and nothing more. -{{User:YK/sig}} 22:48, 11 October 2007 (UTC)</s>

::Reverted. That's all it was. The Wiki hasn't been working right for me over the last few days... lots of slowdown, and sometimes my edits just flat out don't save. -{{User:YK/sig}} 22:51, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

:::Glad you got that straightened out. I figured it was probably an honest mistake. I mean, the Wiki does involve computers, the Internet, and web pages. The potential for random failure just gets worse the more of those you involve. Considering the timestamps, you probably edited an earlier version of the page, and saved it, rather than it being an edit conflict. Thanks for taking care of it though! -- [[User:Laser-Grilled Crab & Cheese Sandwich|LGC&CS]] 23:53, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

== Patterns in new Users ==

Hi YK, I just wanted to give you a small tip. If you see new users routinely avoid using an {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=environment&diff=prev&oldid=534341 edit}} {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=environment&diff=534456&oldid=534391 summary}}, you may want to check their [[Special:Contributions/Chesseface|contributions]]. It is often the case that new users do not know how to use the features of this wiki well. If that's the case a small, nice {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk%3AChesseface&diff=534480&oldid=523667 reminder}} can be useful. A template you can <code>subst:</code> can be found [[Template:usesummary|here]], though sometimes it may be best to copy the text and modify it as needed. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 15:18, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

== About reverts and edit warring ==

Hey, YK. I need to remind you (or, if you've never discussed this matter before, talk with you about it for the first time) that edit warring is disruptive. By edit warring, I mean repeatedly reverting others' edits rather than discussing the reasons why and, if necessary, working toward a solution to the dispute. So, in the future, it's important not to get caught up reverting, but rather to discuss on talk pages and seek consensus. OK, talk atcha later! {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:12, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
:No problem. I actually do tend to take stuff to the talk page, but lately, DeFender seems to be on my case about a lot of things. (Hence my outburst.) Guess I'm putting too much thought into a wiki devoted to "dumb animal characters". Heh. -{{User:YK/sig}} 04:02, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
::It's not just on your case, and I have already apologized. Can we please stop biting each others' heads off? I didn't mean any harm, really. I'd like to take a step back and realize that we're all on the same side here. I'm truly sorry for the manner in which I have been conducting myself lately. I hope that this doesn't mean that we can't still besing friends. :-) {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 04:08, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
:::Ahh... I actually posted that reply to Heimi before I saw your reply on the Wormdingler talk page. Yeah, we're taking this stuff way too seriously. I'm sorry for the attack earlier; I guess the best we can do now is forget about it and move on. I'm known for being a bit too "intense" at times (got banned from more than one board for being just a tad too vocal; fortunately, the mods here are among the best and fairest I've seen on any site, so I'd have no real *reason* to challenge them... but I digress, heh), so I'm glad this was resolved quickly and harmlessly... mostly. =P -{{User:YK/sig}} 04:12, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
::::I know whatcha mean, i often say that this is the best run wiki on the internet. It's tough to take a step back sometimes, I know that. So very good, I'm glad we could get that resolved, is there anything else i can-- {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 04:17, 16 January 2008 (UTC) P. S. you wouldn't happen to be Y~K from the zsnes board would you?
:::::Nope. This is about the only place I routinely hang out, though I do have some minor connections to the emulation scene. I'm an admin at SNESMusic.org, which deals in SPCs, Super Nintendo music. I go by "YK" there, too, so... -{{User:YK/sig}} 05:38, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
::::::Whew... i'm glad... that guy is an idiot. I knew that you had some connection, that's why i was suspicious. (IIRC, you said something about SNESMusic in a jibblies 2 debate). {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:44, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Speaking of edit warring: Your repeated reverts to [[Quote of the Week]] aren't helpful. As [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Quote_of_the_Week&diff=549614&oldid=549611 you pointed out yourself], the fact is currently being discussed. While it's not helpful that Deffy put it back on the page, it's equally unhelpful of you to revert him. You should wait for the discussion to end before you change or delete the fact. You reverted that fact four times in a row. If that's not a revert war, then I don't know what is. Also, [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Quote_of_the_Week&diff=549602&oldid=549597 this edit summary] is not helpful. Try to stay polite when people disagree with you. Thanks{{User:Loafing/sig}} 01:39, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

== Indeed ==

Re:[http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Cat_Mess&diff=541546&oldid=541545 your summary]: Yes, edit conflict, as I was trying to just add a stub template. It's been doing this lately, not warning people that someone else has edited it. Dunno what the deal is. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 07:03, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
:Well, I can't say that's never happened to me before, so... no harm done. Thanks for the comment. -{{User:YK/sig}} 07:08, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

== Ha ha. ==

...and before an admin sees my last edit and decides to post here, yes, I just became aware of what day it is, EST. Cute, but horrifically annoying. Gonna make edits a pain today/tomorrow... -{{User:YK/sig}} 04:12, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
:So you're purposely going to make people suffer? Doesn't sound too nice to me. Besides, sysops AND admins have the ability to "revert" with just a few clicks of the mouse. Rather than having to remember what was on the page. Although I can't remember how to do it, since I never had to do it on my own wiki. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
::...say... what? Were you responding to the correct post? O_o This was posted on April Fools' Day, in response to an edit I made in regards to the page scrambling. I ultimately deleted it... and can't see anything malicious in either this post or the deleted edit I made in the [[Talk:shapeshifter|talk page]] for [[shapeshifter]]. -{{User:YK/sig}} 18:10, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
:::Then I suggest you remove this from your talk, otherwise people may get the wrong idea. Or at least... archive it. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
::::Haw. I just realized what you meant by your original post... heheh. By "gonna make edits a pain today/tomorrow", I meant the scrambling stuff would make edits annoying... which it did, but not *too* much. Oh well, never mind. This is outdated anyhow. -{{User:YK/sig}} 03:27, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

== Signature Image ==

Your [[Image:Ayjo.png#Licensing]] (sig image) copyright has been switched accordingly to a fair use liscense (since it's from a video game, and is owned by the publisher.) {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

== Woah, i really didn't mean to upset you ==

Listen, i wasn't attacking you, and i'm sorry if you think that i was. Really, you're a great editor, and i have always valued your opinion. I was not angry at you in the slightest. I merely have this thing about respecting other people, and was commenting on that. You are right, "invalid" was a bit of a strong word to use, and i may come on too strongly when defending the honor of others, and I apologize for that. But please understand, that in no way did i mean to offend you or insult YOUR honor in the process, as it undermines what i'm trying to do. You think that the honor of a guy with a history of disruptive edits is more important to me than yours is, a long-standing well-contributing editor? Surely not. I apologize for anything i may have said to offend you, and hope that you can forgive me. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 04:10, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
:Mm. I'm not really *mad*, so much as.... hm... mildly irritated. Honestly, yes, I'm probably being unfair in my judgement regarding that template largely due to its creator. As I said in that post, my outspoken nature *has* gotten me into trouble, many times, which isn't, never has been, and essentially never *will* be, my intent at all. I *do* tend to have a very low tolerance level for troublemakers and vandals, however, which stems back to many other bitter experiences I've had online. I've been a moderator on several message boards, have run several websites... and it's not especially *fun* when someone tries to tear your hard work down for what essentially amounts to a few childish laughs on their end. Trust is something one has to earn, and with a history of garden-variety vandalism, and having been blocked twice (and indeed, still making several odd, dubious edits), it's gonna take more than someone saying "play nice, children" to change how I feel about MichaelXX2.

:That said, I *do* value the work you do for this Wiki. You're a great contributor, and you do a good job making sure things go smoothly. For what little my opinion matters in such a regard, you'd actually make a fine sysadmin, yet you *do* tend to come on very strongly a lot, to the point where it almost seems like you're attacking one person in an effort to defend another. I doubt you "cause fights" any more intentionally than I do, and it's not necessarily the *wrong* attitude, mind you, but if you can tone that down, you'll do great. That said, while my feelings won't change about once-vandals, I *will* keep them to myself instead of getting others angry at me for what sometimes come off as personal attacks. -{{User:YK/sig}} 04:25, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
:Would you mind coming to [[HRWiki:IRC|IRC]]? i'd like to talk to you more personally and privately. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 04:29, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

== Sig thing ==

Remember the sig thing Optimistic Fool did in the sandbox a bit back? Someone did archive it. {{User:DrPepper42/sig}} 01:30, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

:It was archived [[HRWiki:April_Fools%27_Jokes_and_Other_Baleeted_Nonsense#Optimistic Fool takes over!|here]]. Nice Onion Bubs sig, BTW. =P -{{User:YK/sig}} 02:02, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
::Thanks. Onion Bubs is awesome. {{User:DrPepper42/sig}} 02:04, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

== J'sJ ==

I know who created the TV Tropes page (not me), but I have no idea who fleshed it out (it wasn't the same person.) Anyway, link's on my user page. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:20, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

== Lnobdu?iuda ==

Regarding [http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=HRWiki:Sandbox&diff=prev&oldid=697503 this], what is W? none of the available letters made any sense in context. and seeing as though Q is an available letter, idk what letter to put in that subject line. I got everything else {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 19:27, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
:Heh. If you were trying to de-ROT13 that, you'd fail. That's actually the "Al Bhed" language, from Final Fantasy 10. Someone made a program to auto-convert English to Al Bhed, which I ran a random line through, just to see if anyone would catch it. What it translated to:

<blockquote>
I wonder if anyone can translate this paragraph. I mean, it's all confusing and messed up and I'm sure at least somebody here played Final Fantasy X. I mean, seriously. Or should that be xeriouxly, I mean, cuz of the day and Xeriouxly Forxe and all that and stuff. But really, what I'm trying to say is... uh... I forgot what I was trying to say. So, I'll just state that I hate the French Horn.
</blockquote>

:At least, I... *think* that's what you were asking about. I didn't really understand the question. -{{User:YK/sig}} 23:43, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
::Actually, you answered it as though you understood the question perfectly. At first i did try to de-ROT13 it, and after that failed, i treated it like a normal cryptoquote and solved everything except for that one letter (the Z in cuz). and, i took what i figured out about the code and encoded "cryptoquote" and put that in the subject line, but according to that paragraph, i have no way of figuring out what letter is an English Q, hence the question mark. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 03:00, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

== The Goodbye ==

See you next time, maybe.... Oh and, if you play Perfect World MMORPG, I'm on it. If anyone desires to know who I am on it, please give me a shout over on my talk page too, not just YK. Anyway, later. —[[User:ColdReactive|ColdReactive]] 04:35, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

(Darth Vader voice) Nooooooooooooo! Don't go! You're a great user! (Though I really wish Joey Day himself would be active as well - he's the owner of this wiki!) {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 12:55, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

== YK Returns??!?! ==
Update from the future! YK's return! Or not, really. Just felt like checking back in. I've been on a bit of a nostalgia kick lately, so I decided to watch some old Homestar episodes, and... hey, this place still exists. Awesome.

Dang. Has it really been three whole years since I left this wiki? Feels like yesterday. Such a shame that H*R seems to have all but ended, but I'm glad this place is still here, and it's nice to see that some of the old guard is still hanging around. I had plenty o' good times here, and you better dang well believe that the second the Brothers Chaps bring H*R out of retirement (well, at least, I certainly *hope* they will), I'm totally gonna return here.

So, why am I posting this on my own talk page instead of like, the main talk page or something? Because it's off-topic, it's unnecessary, and it doesn't actually contribute to Homestar Runner or the wiki in any way, shape, or form. I just wanted to say "yo" to the old H*R gang and all that. So... hi! =P
-{{User:YK/sig}} 05:34, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

User:YK

YK — Tue, 25 May 2010 04:25:57 GMT

YK: Well, that time has finally come...

Well, I knew it would come to this one day... I'm leaving the wiki. I don't know if it's the lack of updates to the site, or the rampant bureaucracy going on here, but this wiki has stopped being all that much fun for me. It appears there are little more than three factions these days: Those who try to stir things up by frantically searching for new things to make pages over, those who argue for the deletion of said pages, and those who fight to keep them, often for little reason other than the fact that they technically fit within accepted guidelines; the content or scope rarely seems terribly important anymore.

Now, I'll admit, I was never the most active person here. My most significant contribution was inadvertently stealing DorianGray's work on [[Main Page 26]]. Other than that, I did primarily gnome work, reverting vandalism, and occasionally joining in random talk page discussions and STUFF, back when it was active. But nevertheless, I've been here quite a while, and as a long-timer, I'm just a bit saddened at how things have gotten of late.

That said, I'm not figuring my presence will be missed all too overly much, given my general lack of overall work here. I haven't made any friends here in particular -- the closest person to one here would be DeFender1031, who I've had my arguments with in the past, but is otherwise an awesome person -- so I leave with few regrets.

Although I'll continue to check the wiki occasionally, I'm not likely to edit anymore. Perhaps a tiny bit of gnome work, but I'm going to stay out of wiki politics from here on.

If anyone wants to talk to me for any reason, my [[:User_talk:YK|talk page]] will still be available (I'm not planning to clear it or anything), and I'm also active on [http://wiki.rustedlogic.net/The_Cutting_Room_Floor The Cutting Room Floor], a relatively new wiki dedicated to unearthing all manner of unused/hidden content in video games. And, of course, I'll still be maintaining [http://snesmusic.org/v2 SNESMusic.org].

So... So long, HRWiki. It certainly has been fun, I'll say that much.
-{{User:YK/sig}}

And, oh yeah...

[[Image:Ayjo.png|Later, everypeoples!]]

Ayjo wants to say goodbye, as well. His only regret is his failure to conquer the wiki. Alas.

[[Image:Ron_Planet.png|thumb|220px|Are you an astronaut?!]][[Image:duckguardian2box.PNG|thumb|150px|Starring the popular Ron Planet!]]
'''[http://www.ronplanet.com/ Ron Planet]''' is a comic strip written by [[Matt Chapman]] and [[Craig Zobel]]. The concept for the comic started in 2006 when Matt and Craig joked about writing a science fiction original movie. This concept was later made into a comic, with its first strip launched on September 17, 2009. The comic stars the title character, Ron Planet, the last astronaut on 2040 Earth. Ron Planet has made a cameo in the [[Homestar Runner (universe)|Homestar Runner universe]], appearing as the starring character in [[Duck Guardian 2]].

Interestingly enough, the Duck Guardian 2 box calls him "The Popular Ron Planet." However, in the comic, he is anything but. In fact, his unpopularity is the driving force behind the storyline.

'''Places:''' [[Strong Badia]] ([[Behind the Fence]]), [[Blubb-O's]], [[The Field]]

'''Date:''' Monday, March 10, 2008

'''Running time:''' 1:53

'''Page title:''' See Participating Stores for Details!
==Transcript==

''{Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat are walking along behind the fence in Strong Badia. Corny advertisement music plays quietly under them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{haltingly, as a bad actor}'' Man, you guys! All this walking around behind the fence being a young person sure has gotten my hunger all up in a dander!

''{Suddenly, the Drive-Thru Whale shoots up from the ground in front of them}''

'''DRIVE-THRU WHALE:''' Relinquish your pipes please, fellas!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{exaggeratedly}'' Relinquish our pipes? We'd love to!

''{Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat all start laughing. The scene fades slightly as a huge Blubb-O's logo comes on screen, with the words "Come The Heck Down" written underneath.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Come the heck down to Blubb-O's and try your dang self the Blubb-O's Classic.

''{The scene changes to a red background and a burger appears, with a label below saying "Classic" when the announcer names it.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' The Original. The Regular. The New Original. The Old Classic.

''{Each time the announcer mentions another burger, the burger's image [[Flipped_Images|flips horizontally]] and a label with the new burger's name stacks on top of the previous ones. Then, a huge deep-fried triangle of fish appears between a burger bun, and another label appears over the others saying "Isosceles Fish Sandwich??"}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' And the Isosceles Fish Sandwich. Wait, fish sandwich? ''{A record scratch and the music stops.}'' We have a fish sandwich? Has anybody ever ordered that thing?

''{A beep is heard as the scene cuts abruptly to a kitchen with a lettuce, two onions, and two tomatoes lying on a counter top.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' At Blubb-O's, all our vegetables are hand tossed through a refreshing cascade of water, and chopped in mid air.

''{As the announcer mentions this, the vegetables are thrown through a waterfall and chopped in half with a knife. The scene then changes to a Blubb-O's restaurant counter, with Homestar behind it, looking exhausted, wearing a yellow deli-style hat with the Drive-Thru Whale on it and a yellow apron.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Welcome the crap to Blubb-O's. Would you like to try a combo meal ''{holds up a Blubb-O's meal bag}'', some Chipotle Potato Nudules ''{holds up a small paper dish with some [[French Fries|fries]]}'', or our Attempt-At-Competing-With-National-Coffee-Chains Premium Mocha-Chip Meltshake? ''{holds up a cup with some cocoa beans and the word "PREMIUM" printed on it}''

''{The camera cuts to Marzipan on the other side of the counter.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' I just have a question: Do you actually use whale meat, or just regular fast food meat? I just need to know how hard I should protest you.

''{Marzipan holds up two signs, one with the Drive-Thru Whale with the text "SAVE THE BLUBB-O WHALE", and the other with a caricature of the Drive-Thru Whale looking worried, with the text "really SAVE THE BLUBB-O WHALE". Cut to the field. Coach Z is in a large Drive-Thru Whale costume with some balloons next to him.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{laughs}'' Family fun, and I'm talkin' about men in costumes, is what Blubb-O's is all about.

'''COACH Z:''' Hey there kids! I'm the Drive-Thru Whale! ''{Jumps up and down and shouts.}'' I'll chop off your legs!

''{The view changes and Strong Sad is standing beside him.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Sometimes it seems like you're ''trying'' to go to prison, Coach Z.

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, three square meals a day!

''{The camera pans to the left where Strong Bad and The Cheat sit in a cardboard box with "HMS Locash" written on the side. Strong Bad is wearing his Archibald outfit from [[A Decemberween Pageant]] and holding a harpoon, and The Cheat has a harpoon gun.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thar she blows, The Cheat! Aim for the blowhole!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{looks at Strong Bad and makes The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? Whoa, I didn't even see Coach Z standing in a whale costume. Yeah, shoot him too!

''{As the sound of The Cheat firing the harpoon gun is heard, the scene cuts to a red background with a pale Blubb-O's watermark.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' And now for a limited time, introducing the Blubb-O's Thick 'n Nasty.

''{A burger with an extremely thick patty falls into frame, and a gold plate with "THICK 'n NASTY" on it appears on top. A drawing of Peacey P then pops up with a speech bubble saying "that's right. ya'll blubb-o heads. the thick 'n nasty!"}''

'''PEACEY P:''' That's right, ya'll Blubb-O heads. The Thick 'n Naaaaaaasty. ''{grunts}''

''{The camera pans right until a picture of Peacey P's mouth, with gold teeth with "THICK 'N NASTY" engraved on them, fills the screen with another speech bubble saying "eeungh!" The camera then cuts to the image of the Blubb-O's logo with "YOU GUESSED IT...WE'RE CALLED BLUBB-O'S" written below it.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Blubb-O's. You guessed it, we're called Blubb-O's.

''{A speech bubble appears briefly saying "REGISTER DOES NOT CONTAIN MORE THAN FIFTY DOCTORS." The logo shifts slightly off-center, and rubbery sounds are heard, as if the logo were on a balloon.}''

'''DRIVE-THRU WHALE:''' Register does not contain more than fifty doctors.

==Easter Eggs==
*At the end, click on the whale's spout to see Bubs ordering a burger.
:''{An angry Bubs is seen through the grill of the Drive-Thru Whale.}''
:'''BUBS:''' No, I will not slice my fingers thin! I just wanna dang hambloiger!
:''{Cut to see Bubs in the [[Gremlin]], without wheels and on cinder blocks, pulled up next to the Drive-Thru Whale.}''
:'''BUBS:''' I got places to be, man!
:'''DRIVE-THRU WHALE:''' You're living a lie. Would you like cash back?

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*The name "Isosceles Fish Sandwich" is a play on an [[Wikipedia:Triangle#Types of triangles|isosceles triangle]], a triangle with at least two of its three sides identical in length.
*"HMS" is a British Naval designation used on ships, standing for [[Wikipedia:Her Majesty's Ship|Her Majesty's Ship]] or [[Wikipedia:His Majesty's Ship|His Majesty's Ship]] depending on the gender of the monarch.
*Drive-Thru Whale's line "register does not contain more than fifty doctors," is a corruption of "register does not contain more than fifty dollars", a notice similar to one that businesses or restaurants might display to deter robbery.

===Trivia===
*The Blubb-O's menu behind Homestar reads:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
|BLUBBO CLASSIC || 1.99 || NUDULES || 5.99
|-
|THE ORIGINAL || 2.99 || KETCHUP PACKET || 6.99
|-
|THE REGULAR || 3.99 || COFFEE STIRRER || 7.99
|-
|THE NEW ORIGINAL || 4.99 || GRAIN OF SALT || 8.99
|}
*Originally, each vegetable was cut as soon as it went through the waterfall, but this was changed soon after the toon was uploaded, so that they all get washed and then chopped separately.
*The background shown on the loading screen and during the scenes that show the burgers and the vegetables is the same [[HR:puppet_background.swf|background]] used for [[Puppet Stuff]], with red instead of blue.

===Remarks===
*According to [[road trip]], Bubs should not have been able to open the Gremlin's windows from the inside, and none of the car's external features suggest they could be opened from outside the vehicle.
*The Gremlin's passenger-side window is completely opaque, and appears to be covered by a sheet of steel or other gray material.

===Goofs===
*When The Cheat turns around to talk to Strong Bad in the HMS Locash, his lower back (or leg) pokes outside the box.

===Inside References===
*"Would you like to try a combo meal...?" was the Drive-Thru Whale's first line in [[Drive-Thru]].
*Strong Mad was shown holding a Blubb-O's bag in [[nightlife]].
*"I'll chop off your legs!" is a variation of "Sever your leg please, sir", and the background music is a variation of the Whale's music from [[Drive-Thru]].
*The term "meltshake" was first used in [[road trip]].
*Strong Bad is wearing his [[Archibald]] costume from [[A Decemberween Pageant]] when attempting to harpoon Strong Sad. 
*Bubs saying he wants "a dang hambloiger" is an instance of [["Er" pronounced as "Oi"]].
*"Nudules" were last mentioned in [[from work]]. There they were also associated with whales.
*Strong Bad [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]], and so does [[Strong Mad Smiling|Strong Mad]].
*Homestar's greeting is "Welcome the [[crap]] to Blubb-O's."
*The Blubb-O's announcer says to "try [[Own Dang X|your dang self]] the Blubb-O's Classic."

===Real-World References===
*Sandwiches named "The Original", "The Regular" and "The New Original" may be a reference to the pseudo-band [[Spinal Tap]]. Early in their history they changed their name to The New Originals when they discovered that The Originals was already in use. According to the band, The Originals later changed their name to The Regulars.
*The Attempt-At-Competing-With-National-Coffee-Chains Premium Mocha-Chip Meltshake is a reference to how many fast food outlets, like [[McDonald's]], are touting their new "high-quality" coffee drinks as a way of competing with [[Wikipedia:Starbucks|Starbucks]].
*The sign on Strong Bad's cardboard box boat reads "HMS Locash", a reference to Robert LoCash, screenwriter of [[Wikipedia:CB4|CB4]], [[Wikipedia:Naked_Gun_33⅓:_The_Final_Insult|Naked Gun 33⅓]], and [[Wikipedia:BASEketball|BASEketball]].
*The phrase "Save the Blubb-O Whale", which appears on [[Marzipan's protest signs]], is derived from the name of [http://www.savethewhales.org/ Save the Whales], a non-profit organization founded in 1977 which focuses on marine mammal welfare.
*The Thick 'n Nasty is a parody of the [[Wikipedia:Big N' Tasty|Big N' Tasty]], a hamburger from McDonald's that was designed to compete with [[Wikipedia:Burger King|Burger King]]'s Whopper.
*Strong Bad's line, "Thar she blows!" is a famous quote from the [[Wikipedia:Herman Melville|Herman Melville]] novel [[Wikipedia:Moby-Dick|Moby-Dick]].

===Fast Forward===
*Coach Z's whale costume reappears in [[On Break]].

== Guitar Tabs? ==

Someone posted a guitar tab for [[Trogdor (song)|Trogdor]]. Should we extend this into a semi-project to put guitar tabs on all the songs on [[Strong Bad Sings]] with guitar/bass parts? If so, I call I get to tab [[Moving Very Slowly]]! --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 20:57, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

:I don't think this is a very worthwhile project. But then, I'm not a guitar enthusiast. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 21:52, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
::Well, Lapper, we ARE supposed to document Homestar Runner. Why not do guitar tabs? Just don't go crazy and do the SBLOUNSKCHED! theme song. Also, I don't think you can call doing something, Martyo. If you want to do it, just do it. Dibs are for [[Wikipedia:Riding shotgun|cars]] and [http://dibs.dreyers.com/ ice cream], not wikis. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 22:02, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
:::Well, Bluebry, the only reason I called it is because if we decide to do this (which we haven't yet) a bunch of transcribers are going to want to tab out songs (and some non-transcribers might do some googling to find tabs) and I don't want to miss out on a song I know how to play. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 22:12, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

::::If people want to do tabs, I think it's a great idea! That's good information that a lot of people might be interested in. That said, I tend to think it would be better to keep the tabs on a separate page, in general. I can see some of them getting kind of long, and the average person just trying to read about a given song shouldn't have to scroll through screens of guitar tabs. So, I propose that they be kept on a separate page and linked to. This way, they're easily accessible to the people who want to see them, but unobtrusive to those who don't. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 22:23, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I moved the guitar tab for Trogdor to [[Trogdor (song)/Tablature]] and linked to it in a "See Also" section of [[Trogdor (song)]] Before we move forward, is this what we want to do, or should we do it differently? --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 22:39, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
:I agree, having tabs would be awesome. I'd like to play [[different town]], for example. What should the naming scheme be? [[Trogdor (song)/Tablature]] is somewhat ugly. What about [[Trogdor Tablatures]], just like we do for the visuals?{{User:Loafing/sig}} 22:35, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
::Or [[Tablature: Trogdor]]. 'S perfect! Also, should we link in a see also? What about in the Detailed information area? {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 22:37, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
:::Having a separate namespace might be a ''little'' extreme, but I kinda like it. I'ma wait and see what others think. As for linkage, Detailed Info seems like a better way to go. That way, people don't have to search the page for a link. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 22:45, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
::::Maybe possibly maybe. Also, should we include download links for things like [http://www.power-tab.net/ Power Tab]? Or will men in black fedoras grab us for copyright violation? {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 22:47, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
:::::Power Tab's certainly got MY approval. Most of the tabs I transcribe ARE in Power Tab. I don't see how someone could sue us for linking to their product :P. So, yeah. Power Tab = Awesome. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 22:55, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
::::::Also, where it says Bass, I think you should actually put the bass tablature on there. I'm sure it'll help newbies and be more professional looking to all. :-) SMILEYS ARE GREAT! {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 23:00, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
:::::::I was just wonderin, if we will have all these tabs for songs, don't we need a page with a list of all the songs that have been tabed and link to the tabliture? If we do, i will start work on it immediately.--{{User:Kanjiro/sig}} 23:28, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
::::::::We do. Trey made a category.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 23:29, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
:::::::::Oh man, i wanted to do it.--{{User:Kanjiro/sig}} 23:33, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

== Undo summary ==

The undo function has proved quite popular. There's one aspect of it, however, that I don't really like: the way the username is included in the summary, forever recorded that the user was reverted. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it feels like a vandal rollback, which is kind of a slap in the face. (As a side note, I'm also concerned that the undo function is being used for simple reverts of the last edit; I feel like its primary purpose is to surgically fix something a few lines down in the history.) I'd like to remove the username from the automatic summary, so that a typical undo looked like this: ''(undid revision 000000; reason for the undoing)'' — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:25, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

:I agree 100% — I think it's unsettling to see one's name in the automatic part of the summary. Perhaps this is because of the similarity to the automatic summaries from the rollback feature, which is used almost exclusively to revert vandalism. I think the automatic summary for the undo feature should be revised as you propose. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 04:30, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

::Yes. Better this way. The username in the summary is really off-putting: the effect to me seems rather like pointing a finger at another user and saying "you made this edit I undid". I'm not saying anyone ''meant'' to say this, but I do think that's the effect. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:34, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

:::Makes sense, although if someone reverts vandalism, it might be good for the ops to be able to see at a glance who to block (yes i know they can check the history) {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 04:35, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

:I actually don't particularly mind, although Dot com has noted previously that it peeves him to have his name in an edit summary not preceded by "reply to". I, personally, don't mind having my name being shown as the one being reverted, as long as there's a solid edit summary following. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 04:38, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

::I would have thought that the current text is fine. But with people constantly using it to revert the last edit instead of undoing older edits, I wholeheartedly agree with Dot com's suggestion. It will also make edit summaries shorter and easier to read.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 05:01, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

:::What if "revision 000000" automagically created a link to the edit (technically speaking, "&diff=prev&oldid=000000"), like this:
::::''(undid {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:Da_Basement&diff=prev&oldid=492115 revision 492115}}; forum-style post)''
:::[[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:38, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

::::Shouldn't we squeeze a timestamp in there? It could be as small as "8.24, 15:26", but I'd like to see when that undone revision was made, if possible. (undid {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:Da_Basement&diff=prev&oldid=492115 revision 492115}} (8.24, 15:26); forum-style post). — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 15:26, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
:::::I thought stuff like that is recorded in RC; that is, the "diff" link is a link to the revert, and RC already tracks the time and date of ''all'' edits. I'm in favor of the plain ''(undid revision 000000; vandalism)'' — {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 15:37, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
::::::Lapper: We don't record timestamps of the undone edit ''now'', and we do just fine. There isn't an easy mechanism to add them, either. It could be done, of course, but it would involve reworking more than a line or two of code, which is all it would take to add the link (and clicking on the link will show the old edit, including the timestamp and the editor). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:23, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
:::::::I like Dot Com's idea, that is link with no timestamp. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:47, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
::::::::Me too.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 20:20, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
:::::::::I'm in. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 10:40, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
Okay, I've implemented the changes. After a little time has passed, please comment on whether you think it's an improvement. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:34, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
:I think it's a good idea! {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 03:29, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
It's been a week since the new format, and I've got nothing against it. Nice and simple, and it doesn't incriminate the revertee as strongly. Great jorearb. — {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 18:35, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
:I actually disagree. I thought it was a good idea, but now I see that this edit summary is less helpful. It doesn't give any context. When it still included the user name, one could guess which edit was meant just by looking at the history. That number isn't helpful in the least (unless you mouseover the links in the history and compare those 6-digit numbers - which I certainly don't do). I would prefer edit summaries like "undid edit 123456 by Stupid_ol'_Loaf".{{User:Loafing/sig}} 19:58, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
::If you click on the revision number it leads you to the exact edit. And I'd argue that in all edits, it's up to the editor to provide context, not the system. Havin g the system make it easier for an editor to be lazy - is that what we want? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:55, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
:::Oh, it's much better! this is awesome! {{User:Techgeekmbg/sig}} 02:41, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

== So what exactly is the "trusted user list"? ==

I noticed a few times, it seems that somewhere, this Wiki has a trusted user list, or so I saw while looking around on talk pages. So I was wondering, is it a tangible thing (meaning it actually exists) or is it just in the minds of staff members and such?--{{User:Slipstream/sig}} 12:02, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
:There is no list (and there is also no staff). Obviously, some users are trusted more by the community than others, but I don't think anybody would keep a list or something. I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about, but I hope this answers your question.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 12:18, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
::Is [[HRWiki:Da Basement/Archive 8#Limited editability for user pages|this]] what you are referring to? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 14:01, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
:::Yeah, I caught up with Slipstream in IRC, that's the page he was talking about... it's all been cleared up now, nothing to worry about. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 14:03, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
::::Thanks for drawing extra attention to a dumb idea i had a long time ago... :( {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 14:10, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
:::::(For those of you who have a hard time reading sarcasm over the internet, that was an example of it.) {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 14:30, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

== Images accessable from both wikis ==

I contribute a lot to both of our HRWikis (the fanstuff being the other). However, I find it quite difficult that a lot of images that would be useful on the Fanstuff wiki are only hosted on the knowledge base. Someone with server side privelages might be able to make an image uploaded on one wiki accesable by the other. Sorta like Wikimedia Commons, where you upload it there, and it can be accessed by all the wikimedia projects. I would find it very easy. Tell me what you think! {{User:Techgeekmbg/sig}} 02:39, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
:I think that's an awesome idea, but I don't have server [[privaleges]]. It' up to like It's dot com or somebody like that. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 02:43, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
::It is technically possible to do this, but relatively speaking there are so few images that are used on both wikis that the costs outweigh the benefits at this time. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:11, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
:::Exactly. There's literally no need to put forth the effort to make a commons, as HRWiki and HRFWiki really have nothing much in common that way. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 23:16, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
::::I personally see value in keeping the two distinct, and that value is enjoyed on both sides. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:47, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
I see the merit in allowing this, but isn't Commons a separate wiki? That means we would have to set ''another'' wiki up, migrate ''all'' the existing images from both the HRWiki and the HRFWiki to it, and force a redirect to said wiki whenever someone tries to upload another image. Sounds like too much of a waste of time, especially considering the amazingly small amount of images that actually have a point in being cross-linked. ¤ {{User:The Mu/sig}} 20:45, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
:::::Commons ''is'' in fact a separate wiki. That fact alone means that they could've used the english wikipedia (or in this case the HRWiki) to make the image-copying magic. It is made separate for clarity and to avoid confusion, not necessarily for technical reasons. That said, it ''is'' a lot of work to do for what may not be used all that much. At best some script could be created to extract images from the HRwiki into the fanstuff. But again, that's a bit of work and its implementation would depend on demand/benefit and an available programmer. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 21:24, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
::::::Well, we wouldn't have to put ''all'' images in Commons. 'Kipedia doesn't do that either. But I agree with Dot com and Qermaq: Only very few images would actually be shared between us and the fanstuff, making it not worth the effort. Also, I strongly argue to keep both wikis as separate as possible, content-wise. It will get messy if we don't.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 21:44, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

== Preserve birthday card(s) as part of the history? ==

Okay guys, [[HRWiki:Da_Basement/Archive_8#Preserve_birthday_card_as_part_of_the_history|we've come to that bridge and crossed it]]. Now it's time to ask the big question: Do we make a page for [[User talk:Invisible Robot Fish/Talk Archive Mike Chapman's Card|Mike's card]]? I don't see why not. I already created a [[:Category:Mike's Birthday Card Images|category]] for the images. This, I think, is useful whether we make a page or not. Anywho, what have ye all to say? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 18:27, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
:Yeah. I think we should. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 18:34, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
::Cool, I started a [[HRWiki:Mike's 2007 birthday card|not so good article]] covering it (made before the world ended, and submitted after it came back up ;) ). Extra info would be most welcome. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 04:17, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

== Count increment broken ==

Okay, for some reason the #count+''increment'' and #resetcount [[HRWiki:Counter|parser tags]] don't seem to be working properly. (At least not from my machine -- which I seriously doubt is an issue, since it's all done server side, right?). I first found the problem in the QOW page, and {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:Stux/sandbox&diff=506429&oldid=506426 have}} {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:Stux/sandbox&diff=506433&oldid=506432 tried}} {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:Stux/sandbox&diff=506435&oldid=506434 different things}} to assess the situation and try to find a workaround. However, I've come to the following conclusions (from my observations):
#The #resetcount tag is not resetting the counts for any value (except maybe to zero)
#The ''increment'' parameter in the #count tag seems to behave in some strange way
#All the count examples in the documentation still seem to work correctly (confusing me more).
As such, I am completely baffled by this behavior. Even all the names match! Maybe It's the spaces? I don't know. This is weird. Help! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 19:15, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

:I think it may have been a formatting issue. Does {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Quote_of_the_Week&diff=506872&oldid=506371 this change}} fix the issue? -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 21:53, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
::Stux, I tweaked the hresetcount template so that it properly resets the visible values on vcount, but other than that these templates and the underlying parser functions seem to be functioning in general as they should. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:55, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
:::Ahhh... yeah! Go figure. Leave it to me to create a template, add a feature, and months later, forget all about it that it exists!

Thanks Tom for figuring out what was really wrong with QOW! I can't believe little spaces caused so much trouble. ''Ahh, programming.'' Thanks Dot com for fixing ''hresetcount'' and adding the appropriate documentation to ''vcount''. I will be adding that info to ''hcount'' just in case I forget again. ;) --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 00:10, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
::::Well, I think it would be better to differentiate vcount from hcount, and not list unused features on hcount.

:::::Yes, I agree, and creating vresetcount sounds like a good idea. Though doing so would mean having to check all instances where hresetcount is called and see if vresetcount needs to be called. But that shouldn't be too much trouble. For now, I added the technical info back up. I think it's important in the h/vcount pages themselves to clearly state that the two templates work separately (more so with vresetcount). (This, of course, being a bad attempt at reminding ''me'' that their separate functions. ;) ) Ok! now to watch some [[TrogdorCon '97|anime]]! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 05:11, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

== RandomArea ==

I'm starting my own wiki, and when browing extensions, I found Random Area. RandomArea is like the {{tl|homsarquote}}, only it updates the maximum number of quotes by itself. I feel it would be a lot easier for new members to add quotes. [[mw:Extension:RandomArea|Click here for info]]. {{User:Techgeekmbg/sig}} 04:44, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
:One of the features of the homsarquotes template is that it only chooses from all the quotes if it's used on the [[Homsar]] page; otherwise, it skips the first two. We could easily make the template use less code, but we set it up that way so that both the rendered list itself and the output of the template would look nice. I appreciate the suggestion, but I think we've got enough eyeballs on that page not to worry about installing anything else. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:56, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
::I understood that when I looked at the template, I knew it before suggesting it. Why does it need to skip the first two? {{User:Techgeekmbg/sig}} 16:21, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
:::Because the first 2 aren't quotes, they're just captions. That template was originally made (and is still used) to prevent edit warring on the [[Homsar]] caption. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:24, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

== Deleted page talk pages ==

So the recent incident with the clapping page got me thinking that maybe we should leave talk pages from deleted pages intact so that future people can see why a page was deleted. It's not always so obvious, i mean granted, a page like "homestar is stupid and dumb" that would be tagged for speedy deletion would not need such a thing even if it somehow developed one, but for pages that actually get discussed i think it would be helpful. (Maybe also have a template for such pages?) Thoughts? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:51, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
:Agree. It'd be very useful to see the precedents and reasonings and things behind why pages were deleted. Wikipedia keeps their discussion pages, and this is one thing of theirs I think we SHOULD emulate.
:I also like the sound of that template. Something like "This is the talk page of a deleted article. Please do not participate in the existing discussions. If you have something new to say on why this page should be re-created, please start a new section below." Or something with good words. Better words than I can write. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 01:04, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
::I think preserving deletion discussions is a good idea. I kind of wonder why we haven't been already. I also think Dorian's words were fine. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:32, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
:::I support this idea for the sake of preserving discussions. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 18:57, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
::::I like this idea. Here are some possible ideas I came up with for text:
::::*This talk page is an archive of a deleted article. Please do not contribute.
::::*This article this talk page accompanies has been deleted. This talk page has been kept for historical reasons. Please do not contribute.
::::*This talk page is kept for historical reasons, as it once accompanied a page that has been deleted. Please do not contribute.

::::Of course, the endings saying not to contribute can apply to all of them. {{User:Techgeekmbg/sig}} 23:09, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

:::::I think it is important, though to include a bit like DorianGray's line, "If you have something new to say on why this page should be re-created, please start a new section below." A running gag, for example, may not have enough appearances, but could suddenly acquire more later on, at which point the talk page would be a good place to propose that the article be recreated. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 23:47, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

::::::Here's a model of what it could look like: {{tl|deletedtalk}}. It could perhaps use some improvement. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 01:02, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
:::::::It looks alright... we might want to edit the style a bit, but the wording seems fine. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 01:03, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
::::::::I like it, too. I changed the wording [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Template:deletedtalk&diff=516770&oldid=515578 a little].

But yes, we should definitely use this template.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 21:19, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

=== Reviving? ===
Okay, since this looks like a promising idea, i also have a question about old talk pages. If we decide that this is a good idea, do we (and by WE i mean some sysop) go back and revive all the old talk pages, or is this only for the future? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 19:06, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
:On second thought, a bot could be made to do such a thing. Still, would we? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 19:07, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
::How would a bot know the difference between a talk page where a deletion discussion occurred and one where it didn't? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 19:09, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
:::first of all, if there IS a talk page, then it probably means it was discussed, as speedy deletion pages get deleted quickly and don't usually end up with talk, secondly, it could search for "<nowiki>'''delete'''</nowiki>", as there tends to be at least one instance of that on every deletion discussion. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 19:15, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

::::::I don't think it's necessary for anyone (or a bot) to bother undeleting ''all'' such pages, since we've gotten along without them fine up to now.

:::::::Another idea would be to write a script that searches the deleted pages' history (preferably in all namespaces) and finds any use of the {{tl|tbd}} template and creates a list of pages that were very likely part of the normal deletion process. This would elminate 99%+ of all the unwanted vandalism-created pages. The list can then be eyeballed for obvious undesirables, and auto-revived. The rest of the interested community can then re-tag those pages (and mark any that should be re-deleted). How hard would implementing this sound? What kind of interest would be in this idea?

== Birthday cards for TBC ''et al.'' ==

For reference, I've copied the following conversation from [[User talk:Invisible Robot Fish]]:
<blockquote>
Hey IRF,

How 'bout we make a card for Missy when her birthday rolls around? I can imagine she's feeling pretty left out right now. Besides, she's just as important as the Brothers Chaps. If you already have one in the works, lemme know. If you don't, talk to me, and I'd be happy to help you organize it and get it together.

Sincerely, 
{{User:Homestarmy Commando1/sig}} 23:27, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
:I have noticed that she hasn't got a card yet. I agree. Let's make a card for Missy! {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 23:31, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

::I'm glad to see that there are others that want to do this. I want to mention 3 things: #1) I am about to go a 2 week vacation and will be out of contact for awhile (for Missy we have some time). #2) Matt's birthday is coming up much sooner that Missy's. #3) I have had the honor and privilidge of doing this twice now. I don't think it would be fair for me to hog this. Out of this experience I have had the opportunity to talk [[Karen Wagner]] a few times, which was awesome. I must also talk about access. I am not a sysop so the fact that I was trusted with the address to send things to the TBC is very rare. I think the less people that know such information, the bigger blessing that we can be as awhole to TBC. The LAST thing that we want is for sensitive information to be given to the wrong person (and I'm not imply that any of you are the wrong person) and TBC get tons of <s>fan-mail</s> crap in the mail. For these reasons, I think it best for a sysop or duly chosen user by the sysops to take the helm on this. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 11:52, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
:::Well, Matt already got a card, but Missy hasn't; I say we put her as the top priority for the moment. I see your point with the Brothers Chaps' mailing address.

</blockquote>

So far, we have sent Matt and Mike physical birthday cards, and Invisible Robot Fish did an incredible job putting both of these together.

As seen above, there's some interest in continuing do something for Matt's, Mike's, and perhaps others', birthdays. I think there are a few questions we should discuss in this vein:
#Whose birthdays should we honor as a wiki?
#What should we do in the future when we want to send birthday wishes?
#Who should take charge of these projects?

<nowiki>#1</nowiki> is clearly constrained by our knowledge of when people's birthdays are. As far as I can tell, we know when Matt's and Mike's birthdays are, but that's it. And I think that's a good place to stop. Yes, Missy does the voice of Marzipan, but there are others who do just as much or more for Homestar Runner (Karen Wagner, Ryan Sterritt, etc.) — we have to draw the line somewhere, and I think stopping at Matt and Mike is a good point (especially since we don't know anyone else's birthday!).

In regard to #2, I don't think we should do the same thing if we decide to do something for Matt or Mike's birthdays again. If we keep sending them giant birthday cards, I think the idea will get stale pretty quickly. Maybe we want to do something else in the future, but I think we should think of a different idea.

Finally, with respect to #3, IRF put a great deal of work into the past birthday cards. As he has indicated above, he'd like somebody else to take the helm of future projects, and I agree that it would be very unfair for us to expect him to put in the huge amount of work necessary to send out one of these again. Also, as IRF and It's dot com mentioned in the above quoted text, any communication sent by the wiki as a whole ought to go through the bureaucrats — Joey, Dot com, or Tom — for obvious reasons we should limit the spread of TBC's contact information as much as possible.

Any thoughts about any of these points? {{User:Trey56/sig}} 00:45, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

:I wholeheartedly agree with everything you said above. I'm sorry for getting this whole stupid snowball rolling in the first place. I was feeling a little egoistic at the time of the first post.

Specifically considering the creative and performance impact Missy has on the product, I would be in favor of including her in the birthday wishes in the event she chooses to disclose her birthday to the media or to us. Short of that, she is clearly wishing that date to remain a secret, and we have no plce infringing on that. Other than individuals actively invilved in creating the toons (Mike Matt and Missy, essentially) no others should be included as a matter of course. A 30th or 40th birthday, when known, might prove the exception. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 14:28, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
:That is a very good point. Celebrating Missy's birthday would be cool! At best, since we don't know it, we could celebrate her ''un''birthday!

== What HRWiki is not ==

:::That section in the userspace rules does address my main concern, that users don't know HRWiki isn't a social network, but I think we should make sure newbies know more about what they're getting into, or more accurately, what they're ''not'' getting into.

(That was what I thought when I was young and stupid, anyway.) We should make it more clear that that isn't what we are, and if we do create a new page for this it should encompass other misconceptions (I think that's the right word) as well: we aren't a paper encyclopedia, so growth of our project is virtually unlimited; we aren't adspace, while it's fine to promote one's own website, one must do so only within his or her own userspace; we aren't a soapbox, while it is occasionally necessary to give long speeches on a subject, it must remain relevant to our project of focus and we don't allow opinionated speeches on current events or politics or attitudes of self-promotion; and, of course, we aren't any of a number of [[Wikipedia:WP:BEANS|terrible ideas]]. — {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 13:47, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

[[User:SamFisher1022/HRW:NOT|The draft]] is done. Or it's at least been dormant long enough. I'm ready to hear what you all think. — {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 17:05, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
:Made some changes and left a comment on the talk page. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 17:55, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
All right, the discussions are finished. Any other issues before I create the page? — {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 14:37, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

== Upload help ==

Uploading images is becoming a common question among new users, and to my knowledge, we don't have a Help page for uploads. Somewhere on that page (somewhere obvious, like at the top), we should state exactly what "autoconfirmed" accounts refer to: accounts that have been active for a certain amount of time. Also, more of us need to know what that certain amount of time is. I was told it was 48 hours, but [[User:TheGirl|TheGirl]] successfully uploaded her first image after about 38 hours. Does it vary with server load or something? — {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 15:30, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

:Honestly, I don't think we need an page to help with uploads; the upload page itself has plenty of information on how to do it. And as for auto-confirmation, only a note would be necessary. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 16:00, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
::Okay, maybe a whole page is too extreme, but still, how long does autoconfirm take? If we add that to the [[HRWiki:FAQ#How do I upload an image?|FAQ]], it should help tremendously. — {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 16:05, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
:::Most likely 27 hours, if Dot com didn't change it. Just like I said on TheGirl's talk page. w00t. You can add a mention to FAQ about having to be autoconfirmed to upload an image, but we decided that the exact length of time should be an open secret. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 22:14, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
::::It's 28 hours. That number [[HRWiki:Da Basement/Archive 8#Semi-protection implemented|hasn't changed]], either. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:01, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

== Subtitles viewer on sidebar ==

As most people know, on all toons, there is a link in the sidebar for the Subtitles namespace. However, someone like me, who uses Safari and can't use Greasemonkey, uses the subtitles viewer. If we put a link to the subtitles viewer there too, below the namespace links, that would add to convience. I know it is possible, I've done something similar on my wiki. What do you think? {{User:Techgeekmbg/sig}} 21:36, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

== New Template Categories ==

Thanks to the recent wiki software update, we now have the [[Special:Uncategorizedtemplates]] page. Our goal should be to keep this list as small as possible, and while some of the templates listed can be added to existing categories, some just don't fit into any. So I suggest new categories to hold these "miscellaneous" pages. — {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 02:41, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

=== HRWiki Finances ===
:''From [[Template talk:SitenoticeDonationsLine]]
<blockquote>
I want to categorize this page to help clear the [[Special:Uncategorizedtemplates|Uncategorized Templates]] list, but I can't seem to find a category to fit it in. If this does fit somewhere, I'd really appreciate if someone could add the cat to the page; if not, perhaps we should have a category that includes HRWiki's money-related pages: [[HRWiki:Donations]], [[HRWiki:Ledger]], and this. — {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 02:09, 16 November 2007 (UTC)</blockquote>

=== Transcript Templates ===
To keep with the [[HRWiki:Once And Only Once|Once and only Once]] policy, the transcripts for [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]] and [[Crazy Cartoon]] are written on template pages and added to their respective pages. I think we should have a category for transcript templates to house these and any more if we make more in the future. — {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 02:41, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
:Sounds good to me. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:53, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
::I second! er... third? one-hundred-seventy-three-thousand-three-hundred-twenty-fifth? something... i agree also. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 02:55, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

=== STUFF Templates ===
The [[HRWiki:STUFF|STUFF]] system has a lot of templates. Instead of categorizing them all as Notice or Formatting templates, I think it would be better to keep them all together in one category (though it may not hurt to add them to more than one category). — {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 20:09, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

== HRWiki:Bulletin Board ==

{{User:Techgeekmbg/sig}} came up with an idea that we could have a page called HRWiki:Bulletin Board that would function as a site-wide message board for to-do items, projects, and other stuff. I, personally, think that this is a great idea. Discuss. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 22:13, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
:Um, just so you know, there already exists a [[HRWiki:Projects|projects]] page that kinda does what you described. Unless the idea envisioned is radically different from this page, you should check it out. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 06:29, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
::It's not radically different, but we do know about that. Techgeek should feel free to chime in here. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 18:23, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
:::Yeah, what you described was basically exactly what [[HRWiki:Projects]] is. I'm agreeing with Stux completely. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 19:24, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

== Question ==

Yeah, I don't know if this is the place to ask questions like this, though I guess it will serve to help me find out, but anyway, is there an automatic way to get the little gray text that says the section you're editing in the edit summary? [[User:DAGRON|DAGRON]] 21:57, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
:Clicking the [edit] next to the subject will automatically do it, but you can hack it in by adding <code>/* Your Text Here */</code> to your edit summary. The [[HRWiki:FAQ|FAQ]] would've been a better place to ask, by the way. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:02, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

== Vandalism Counters: More trouble than they're worth? ==

I've noticed quite a few times that someone vandalized a page that normally the would not have done, except to change the vandalism counter, essentially "killing two birds with one stone". (there was one that i noticed that actually had that as the summary, i wish i could find it.) Here are a couple of examples: [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:Sysrq868&diff=523895&oldid=515622&rcid=480603] [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:BazookaJoe&diff=prev&oldid=482310] [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:BazookaJoe&diff=prev&oldid=152598] {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 14:28, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

:I understand that people've had these for a while, and a lot of great users have 'em, but I've thought for a while that they're unhelpful. Maybe it's 'cause I don't understand what they're for — why is it important to advertise how much your user page has or hasn't been vandalized? The only time I really notice them is when people come along and vandalize the page by increasing the counter, and then I'm never sure if I should actually revert them! ;)

:This said, I'm not sure that we need a rule prohibiting them (the last thing we need is another rule and to have to go around informing everyone that has one that it must be removed), but I would personally prefer if people didn't have them. On the other hand, the edits you've mentioned happen pretty rarely (once every couple months or so), and since users editing other users' pages are easy to spot, they're easy to revert. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 14:39, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

::I agree with Trey56. We should not have a rule prohibiting them (really, what do you care?), but rather... discourage them. Only reason I have one is because it's pretty much the only interesting part in my userpage.

::As for these curious edits, if the vandal edits the counter appropriately (adding one), then it shouldn't be reverted, but a warning at the talk page would be in place. --[[User:Sysrq868|Sysrq868]] 14:44, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
:::I've also always wondered about whether to revert them, and when i do, the next edit is usually the owner of the userpage in question reverting me... Oh well... Anyway, i wasn't suggesting a hardcore RULE against them, just bringing up that people might want to reconsider having them, that's all. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 14:53, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
::::I don't think it's in the interest of the wiki to have users maintain what amount to vandalism scoreboards on their user page. It seems clear there won't be concensus to have any policy changes regarding them, but I'm thinking they actually promote vandalization. And the only purpose in telling people this on userpage that I can think of is to say "I'm cool enough to have been vandalized a lot" which we don't need to be doing. Unless someone knows a different reason, to which I am all ears. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:38, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::I agree that vandalism counters only encourage vandalism. They also imply that it is some kind of honour to have one's user page vandalized. Since when do we believe that vandals have any kind of good judgment? I'm not sure they should be prohibited outright, but they should definitely be discouraged.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 23:01, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::I'm with Loafing. It's obvious that vandalism counters don't serve any purpose, and though the users that have them may not treat them like trophies, that's what they do look like. I don't know if we could ''completely'' prohibit them, but that's what we should aim for. — {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 14:46, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

== Sorting [[:Category:Articles for Discussion|Articles for Discussion]] by time since flagged ==

I often get the feeling that articles end up sitting in this category for a substantial amount of time. I think we can benefit from being able to see how long an article has been under deliberation at a glance. So I'd like to propose a small change to {{tl|tobediscussed}}:

<code>[[Category:Articles for Discussion|{{A ParserFunction to calculate today's week minus the week it was added}}]]</code>

If not, perhaps it could be added to the template inline. It's just a proposal, after all. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 15:51, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

:<code>[[Category:Articles for Discussion|{{A ParserFunction to calculate today's week minus the week it was added}} {{PAGENAME}}]]</code> is better, so we have the name there also. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 15:52, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
::If I understand the functioning of mediawiki correctly, the parser function only gets evaluated when the page is rendered: that is after an edit or a purge. That means that stale pages (those that weren't edited since the tag was added) will be stale (showing that the tag was added the same week). Moreover, all that would provide would be a number from 0-9 (or a letter from a-z or A-Z), which is why WP has specific categories for each month when tags were added. (At least it does for cleanup and source tags, not sure about delete). This wiki is so small, dated categories wouldn't be very helpful I think. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 04:04, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

== Sig Box ==

Ok, our sig mantra is "it must fit in the box". However, innumerable examples exist where a sig will be in the box on one computer and not on another. The reason is the box is sized in pixels, while text is generally (optimally) sized in ems. The two measurements do not relate to each other in any regular way. Plus, replaced fonts and other crazy stuff browsers do really introduce surprises into the mix. So it's impossible to guarantee that any sig will or will not fit in a pixel box, unless that sig is entirely sized in pixels, which is sub-optimal for web authoring.

So, the question before you all is simply this: do we need to rethink how we conmtrol sig size? And if not, how do we determine when a sig is OK, even when it is oversized on some systems? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:09, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

:I read "Your total signature size can only be one line, and limited to around 20 or 25 characters." on {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:Signature&oldid=446393 HRWiki:Signature}}. The box is just a very helpful tool (the page says "in other words" when it introduces the box), it's not meant to be the primary essence of the rule as the rule is designed not to be terribly exact. See {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki_talk:Signature&oldid=506829#Length_is_uncontrollable our last discussion of this}}, especially Dot com's last comment which I believe is a very appropriate response. In that regard, are there instances where this is an active problem? -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 03:53, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
::I think it bears repeating here:<blockquote>We are not concerned with the fact that, if you really try, you can configure your system to make all signatures violate the policy. What we ''are'' concerned with is how a signature renders on the majority of browsers that are used to visit the wiki under ''normal'' conditions. The pixel definition is a useful tool to help us make a call, and it works well under most circumstances. Any time when it wouldn't work would be so infrequent as to be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:18, 11 December 2006 (UTC)</blockquote>[[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:05, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
::Wow, that's a trip down memory lane. The text on the page reads "Your total signature size can only be one line, and limited to around 20 or 25 characters. In other words, it must fit inside this box." There's no saying one is more important than the other. It's implied that the two are equivalent, when they simply are not. Dot Com's comments are decidedly vague, actually, and essentially say "we have no strict solution, and will make a call if there's a problem". I'm wondering if there's a way to avoid the ambiguity and use a rule that will apply more universally.

::As far as a current issue, I was clearly moved to comment by [[User talk:Kermit1234/sig#Your sig|this discussion]]. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 04:09, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
:::If a sig is out by a pixel or even a letter, then it's not that big a deal. We've had the current standard for a while, and it does what it's supposed to do: keep signatures at a manageable length. If a consensus of people think a sig is unreasonably long based how the standard is displayed on their computers, then we say something. (Aftr all, the standard is for people who have to view others' signatures, not their own.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:23, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
::::(after conflict) Regarding that specific situation: If that user is using a font that doesn't appear on most users' systems (and makes his sig that much longer because of it), then we're justified in continuing to say something. The key is, what do most people see when they see his sig? Is there anything (changing fonts, removing images) that can be done to bring the signature to conform to our standard on a majority of users' systems? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:28, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

== End of the Year Update ==

Hello guys, another year as come and gone (too fast...) and it's time for another update! I'm guessing all of our stuff is gone, and I know this is done very infrequently, however I went ahead and made a [[User:Stux/Yearly Turnover|checklist]] for this rare event for future generations to enjoy and take advantage of.

However, I would like to point out that {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=H%2AR.com_updates&redirect=no H*R.com updates}} has not been updated because it is protected. I updated the talk page (even if the redirect target does not ''yet'' exist). I am writing this for two reasons:
#obviously the redirect needs to be updated
#is there a need for the page to be protected? Any previous threats of vandalism have waned and I know it's generally the wiki's policy to protected unless absolutely necessary, and I currently see no such need.
Thanks! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 18:57, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
:We should move that checklist somewhere into the project space. The updates page (now a redirect) was [[HRWiki:Protection Log|protected]] because way back in the day it was a target of unwanted edits and vandalism. That reason has ceased to be relevant, so I've unprotected it. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:43, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
::Before I move the page into the project namespace, I'm wondering: would a page listing all the checklists be of any use? That is, it would list the [[Talk:Quote of the Week]], [[Talk:Strong Bad Email]], etc. checklists (can't think of others that need to be done). I'm not entirely sure as to the benefit, but it's good to have all checklists have some visibility and ease of access (from anywhere on the wiki). Alternatively, links to the checklists could be added to a '''See Also''' section. I ask because this would determine the page's name. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 21:34, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
:::Category? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:41, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

== [[Weekly Fanstuff]] and [[Sketchbook]] linking ==

Hi guys, after {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:Annual_Checklist&diff=534194&oldid=534012 adding}} {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:Annual_Checklist&diff=534195&oldid=534194 notes}} to the [[HRW:AC|Annual Checklist]] based on {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Suudsu&curid=14302&diff=534127&oldid=514203 some}} {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=alternate_universe&curid=22046&diff=534095&oldid=531458 edits}} [[User:OptimisticFool|OptimisticFool]] had to make, I realized there must be a better way to do this. Since [[Weekly Fanstuff 2008]] and [[Sketchbook 2008]] already exist and now redirect to their current counterparts (which should from now one with the checklist in place), and since we have anchor redirects, I think the best course of action would be that any new Weekly Fanstuff and Sketchbook links be constructed as <code><nowiki>[[Weekly Fanstuff 2008#</nowiki>''anchor name here'']]</code>
instead of <code><nowiki>[[Weekly Fanstuff#</nowiki>''anchor name here'']]</code> (and similarly for the Sketchbook). This would save us the trouble of having to scour for these links at the end of the year, yet they'd still work correctly this year. If we decide to follow this idea, how to we make this note prominent so that editors are aware of them when making such links? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 09:49, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
:Occasionally, I ''do'' make such links when adding or fixing an anchor, or other similar edits. You make a good point, yes. This should probably be done. Nothing wrong with a little future-proofing. Or redirects, for that matter. That's why we have them. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 10:45, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
::I've {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=H*R.com_updates_2008&diff=535021&oldid=535019 switched}} the links in that page as discussed above. Following [[HRWiki_talk:Standards#.28Don.27t_Fear.29_The_Redirect|this section]] I'm guessing we think it's desirable. Comments? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 16:45, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
:::Maybe it's trivial, but I think from [[Weekly Fanstuff|WF]] and [[Sketchbook|SK]], the "What Links Here" list is a mess and these are the types of changes that would clean it up. It's a slow day at the wiki, so I think I'm going to get busy on it. (Was going to see the new Indiana Jones movie, but there was a long line, so I gave up and now need something to do.) {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 19:24, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

== Two more for the history books ==

Hey guys, I just ran into these two pages: [[HRWiki:Block log]] and [[HRWiki:Upload log]] which like [[HRWiki:Protection log]] and [[HRWiki:Deletion log]] should belong in [[:Category:HRWiki History]], but currently do not. They are all protected so I bring these up here. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 15:41, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

== Checklist Sign up Sheet ==

While the [[Talk:Quote of the Week|Weeklies Checklist]] has been kept up beautifully. Other checklists like [[Talk:Strong Bad Email|Strong Bad Email]], which has become quite complex, (and [[Talk:Podstar Runner|Podstar Runner]] is new) seem to be falling into some level of disregard. The most visible and common tasks have been taken care of, but the more tedious ones (like updating {{tl|StrongBadEmailInfo}}) may not be taken care of right away. To that end I would like to propose a Weekly Checklist Sign up Sheet whose purpose is ''solely'' to track whether or not one or more users ''verified'' that each item in the checklist (except for [[Strong Bad Email Statistics]]) was updated. This doesn't mean that the user has to update the list. The signature only means that all the items have been "checked off". This would ensure that at least one pair of eyes went methodically through the list making sure no stone was left unturned. Currently, we have no way of knowing if a person actually went through the checklist, or was just trying to remember some steps from memory. I know some people may think is might be too much, but given how complex some of these lists can be, it is soon becoming a necessity. I welcome your opinions. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 17:54, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
:I have something in the works to help with the Strong Bad Email checklist. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:08, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

== Cleanup Committee ==

I have an idea. You probably guessed it from the heading, but I'm starting to feel the need for a committee dedicated to cleaning up the wiki. The various cleanup projects, namely [[HRWiki:Article Cleanup]], which deals with featured articles, have fallen into relative obscurity or the hands of only a few users. The cleanup committee would be similar in concept to the validation committee, but would focus on spelling, grammatical errors, and correct page format. It would also strive to boost the level of clarity and compellingness of our articles. It would also be more organized and hopefully encourage more users to participate in making our fair HRWiki a better and more fun place to be. Does this sound like a good concept at least? -{{User:Brightstar Shiner/sig}} 22:13, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
:I think that it is the responsibility of every active user to cleanup the wiki, therefore having such a committee would be like having a userbox saying "this user edits hrwiki"... {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:20, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
::Please don't shoot me down right away. I know every user is supposed to cleanup the wiki, but the majority don't really pay attention to articles that aren't the newest sbemail or character or what-have-you. What I'm suggesting is a much larger version of Article Cleanup, one that spanned the whole wiki and concentrated on spiffing up what we already have to make it even better. -{{User:Brightstar Shiner/sig}} 23:28, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

== User space edits ==

Since most userspace edits are nothing more than updating personal info or adding userboxes, is it possible to make a setting that gives users the option to not see them in recent changes? Just a thought. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 00:34, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
:Since the first thing anyone else would say (I know I would) would be "What'd stop vandals from using that option while vandalising other people's user pages?", let me postulate this: Supposing the option only appeared for the user whose page was being edited? This is at least theoretically possible, I'm sure. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 00:54, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

:::I think that the original request was for the user ''looking at Recent Changes'' to not see the edits to User-space.... '''not''' for the user ''making the edits'' to opt-out of their edits showing up there. That said, one can choose "User" from the dropdown, hit the invert checkbox, and bookmark that page. (Or, even change the "Recent Changes" link to it with a custom user javascript). {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 01:07, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

== Update main page ==

A while back, someone suggested we update the main page to include links to the multi-lingual welcome pages, but the idea, although it did get a lot of noise made about it, ultimately failed. Since we have had the same style of main page for [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Main_Page&diff=prev&oldid=86533 three and half years now], does anyone else think it might be a good idea to redesign the main page just for the sake of having a new main page? --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 01:06, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

::It was just some dumb ASCII art. Nothing to worry about. I took out the link. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:05, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

== Idea for Page ==
I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I had no idea where else to go. 
(Maybe this is something that needs to be stated a little clearer?) 
I think there ought to be a page about 'Phonebooks' on the HRwiki because of its many mentions: 
Eg. in the sbemails 'your funeral' and 'the movies'

I would have made it myself, but I was afraid of messing it up and infuriating fellow users. 
Anyone down with the idea?
--[[User:Lustmyeyes|lustmyeyes <3]] 05:17, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
:It has to have at least 3 references to be a running gag, so no. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 05:23, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

== Deletion category needing attention ==

To my fellow sysops: We really need to get on cleaning out the deletion category. Things have been sitting in there for months with no discussion. I've done some, but I really would like a little help. Furthermore, as I'm going out of town in a few hours, I may not be able to do much for a bit. If a bunch of us do it, it'll go a lot faster. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 09:39, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
:I did as best i could with DorianGray's help for actual deletions given my inability to delete. I managed to clear off [[:Category:Pages for Discussion]] and about a third of [[:Category:Articles for Discussion]]. The rest of them are either lacking consensus and need more opinions, or else are SBCG4AP-related and outside my ability to really judge or even understand consensus. Hope i helped. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 10:15, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

== General Toons Checklist ==

I think that we should have a Generic Toons Checklist similar to the one seen in [[Talk:Strong Bad Email]] (albeit shorter). The reason I'm saying this is that little steps such as {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=HRWiki%3ASubtitles%2FData&diff=671537&oldid=667235 updating}} [[HRWiki:Subtitles/Data]] have been neglected in the past. While there's no guarantee that the checklist itself won't be neglected, at least we can give some structure to the updates and have a place where we can see a list and make sure we haven't missed anything. Its location would be crucial, and I think [[Talk:Main Page]] would be the best place to put it in and it's the place with the most visibility. (The checklist can explicitly point to the correct instuctions when updating [[Strong Bad Email]] or [[Weeklies]] as well.) What do you guys think? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 13:56, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
:I'm for the idea, though I don't necessarily think it should be on the main page talk. [[HRWiki:Standards]], perhaps? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:08, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
::Cool! I could have a section there for the checklist (along with links to other checklists from that page, or maybe even group them there so they're at a centralized location? -- I was thinking turning the most prominent ones into their own templates so they could be pasted in both their original and new locations). I would still like to see something in the main talk page linking to [[HRWiki:Standards]] so that people know it's there; perhaps by amending the {{tl|Main Page Talk}} header? I'll start on making the checklist and go from there. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:20, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

== HRWiki store ==

The interwiki link needs changing for HRstore:. It is now homestarrunnerstore.com. Thanks! {{User:The Goblin/sig}} 13:38, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
:Done. Thanks! For my own records: http://homestarrunner.stores.yahoo.net/ → http://www.homestarrunnerstore.com/ (We should note that somewhere in an article.) Hmm. The old Yahoo! icon doesn't seem appropriate anymore for the link. What should we use? (Interestingly, on pages where they forget to declare a favicon, it defaults to the Yahoo! one.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:23, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

== Discuss before creating a new page ==

I'm not sure how it would work, or even whether it's a good idea, but I'd like to float the suggestion that—at least until the current lull is over—no new articles be created without discussion first. (This would apply only to our secondary and tertiary articles—the ones we make to chronicle objects and themes—not toons.) It seems that during the lean times we tend to actively look for articles that can be created, ones that we might not otherwise create. Sometimes this is a [[Bubs's Shady Business Practices|good thing]]; more often, however, {{p|l={{fullurl:Special:Log|offset=20100510220000&limit=2&type=delete&user=It's+dot+com}} it is not}}. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:46, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
:I actually rather like the idea, but there's no real easy way to implement this beyond what we're already doing. Still, we really *are* just scraping for new content... and it's beginning to boil down to random wiki searches for three instances of something that isn't otherwise noteworthy. I... actually may get it for this, but I'm beginning to wonder if the "three appearances" guideline shouldn't be changed somewhat. Three appearances of something in a webtoon that's been running at a rather constant pace for more than a decade really doesn't seem particularly significant anymore, especially given the incredible periods of time between them (one in 2001, one in 2002, and a very vague offhand mention in 2009 that may or may not even be related?). Maybe expand it to five? I don't know. But we're just creating pages for anything and everything these days, not really caring whether it's interesting or particularly relevant; there're many people on the "for" side of these pages whose argument is solely that they're within the technical guidelines. Not an especially compelling reason, really... but I'm getting off topic. I'd like to hear about your idea some more. -{{User:YK/sig}} 01:00, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Strong Bad Email

YK — Tue, 11 May 2010 00:48:55 GMT

YK: /* Emails Not Checked By Strong Bad */ Get rid of this nonsense.

<div class="thumb tright"><div class="thumbinner" style="width:202px;"><div class="hovul" style="font-size:smaller;border-bottom:1px #CCC solid;margin-bottom:4px;padding-bottom:4px">[[hr:sbemail.html|Strong Bad Email menu]]</div>[[File:Compé email.png|200px|Strong Bad checks his email.]]<div style="padding-top:4px">Strong Bad checks his email.</div></div></div>
'''Strong Bad Email''', frequently shortened to '''sbemail''', was originally a small feature in which [[Strong Bad]] would answer a fan-sent email and commonly mock the spelling and grammar of those who wrote to him. The animations were initially brief, but gradually the responses grew to establish numerous [[inside jokes]], [[running gags]] and catchphrases, as well as [[Strong Bad Email Spin-offs|spin-offs]], such as [[20X6]], [[Teen Girl Squad]], [[Hremails]], [[Strong Badia]], the minor character [[Senor Cardgage]], [[Trogdor]], and even the main character [[Homsar]]. A typical Strong Bad Email includes numerous [[Easter egg]]s and other hidden material, often found at the ending screen. Many Strong Bad Emails, such as [[japanese cartoon]], [[video games]], and [[theme song]], are satirical views of particular aspects of popular culture.

Introduced in 2001, Strong Bad Email has historically been the most frequently updated feature of [[homestarrunner.com]], but was put on hiatus from September 2008 to June 2009. [[The Brothers Chaps]] stated in interviews that they wanted to focus on other characters and vary their output.[http://mag.awn.com/index.php?ltype=pageone&category2=&article_no=3983&page=1] Email 200 just happened to be a round number at which to take a break.[http://omgnintendo.blogfaction.com/article/108144/one-year-of-wiiware-matt-and-mike-chapman-on-strong-bads-cool-game-for-attractive-people/]

With the October 5, 2009 update, a link to the [[Store]] page where [[Store_CD/DVDs|DVDs of the emails]] could be purchased was added on a [[sticky note]].

There are many emails Strong Bad has gotten during the years from when he had the old computer with green lines moving down the screen, to the amazingly awesome new computer, Compe! If you would like to view all of these from the old green lines moving down the screen computer to the amazingly awesome new computer, Compe, then you're out of luck if you want to view them in one piece because that's not possible, but you can view them one by one! Just click on an email, click on watch at the top right-hand corner, and watch them one by one! That is all.

==Milestones==
Whenever Strong Bad reaches an email milestone, such as 100 or 200, the email will be special or at least some note will be taken. Thus far, five emails have been considered milestones.

*50. [[50 emails]] — Strong Bad checks 50 emails (or attempts to) in honor of it being his 50th email check.
*100. [[flashback]] — The email is done in widescreen. [[Marzipan]], [[Senor Cardgage]], [[Old Timey Strong Bad]], and [[Limozeen]] congratulate him on his 100th email. Upon the Compy indicating that he has checked 100 emails with a special screen, Strong Bad says "email" 100 times. [[Homestar]] says "Happy 100th birthday, Strong Bad".
*125. [[rock opera]] — features scenes and at least one word from all of Strong Bad's emails.
*150. [[alternate universe]] — Strong Bad goes into many alternate universes featuring alternate versions of himself, which at the end accompany him in a supergroup ballad. Called the "sesquicentennemail".
*200. [[email thunder]] — The email song is a grand fanfare written by [[They Might Be Giants]] and sung by [[The Poopsmith]]. The email also ends with a screen listing the first 200 emails.

Frequently, a "teaser" toon is released a week before a milestone email in order to play off the anticipation for the upcoming milestone. The teaser toons so far have been [[Not the 100th Email!!!]] (teasing viewers hoping to view email 100 before it was released); [[Sbemail 150?!?]] (in which Strong Sad tries to convince Strong Bad to check email 150 and writes a proposed storyboard for it); [[Place ya bets!]] (in which [[the Deleteheads]] speculate on what will happen in email 200); and [[Page Load Error]] (in which the Deleteheads camp out at the sbemail200.html URL).

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*Some time during mid-2003, "updated mondays" on the main Strong Bad Email Menu changed to "updated somedays." Nothing like this is even noted in Lappy, Corpy or Compé-era emails.
*On the Compy 386 menus, Strong Bad types "<tt>dir /p</tt>", a [[Wikipedia:DOS|DOS]] command used to list all the files in a directory, and to pause between each screen's worth of files.
*Not including Not Quite Strong Bad Emails, Strong Bad has checked 234 emails as of [[videography]].
*As of [[being mean]], it would take 9 hours, 42 minutes, and 34 seconds  to watch every Strong Bad email, including the DVD exclusives but excluding clickable Easter eggs. Including clickable Easter eggs, it would take 10 hours, 35 minutes, and 37 seconds. 
*Email #22, "[[sb_email 22]]", was actually made between emails 40 and 41. It was originally skipped and later made and released under the title 'the lost email' right before Strong Bad replaced his computer with the Compy 386.
*As of [[the movies]], Strong Bad Emails make up about 60% of the toons on the site.
*Back in the Tandy 400 era (at least until July 2002), emailing Strong Bad would result in this automated response:
<blockquote>Thanks for your freakin email. I hope it's not stupid. 
Once I finish these swiss cake rolls I'll read it and if it's awesome enough, 
I'll answer it on the site. 
But if your email is terrible, then it gets R.E.D. alright. 
The Cheat Reads it, Strong Mad Eats it, and I Deletes it. 
[[HR:processing.html|Click Here]] to see us in action! 
Check back every Monday to see if your email has what it takes. 

Watch me while I'm awesome, 
Strong Bad</blockquote>

The link in the automated response leads to the [[Email Processing Room]].
*After [[Random Toon|random.bat]] was implemented, the email list comes from the [[Secret_Pages_XML_Source#Random_Toon_XML_File|rando.xml]] file. Before this, it was included in the Flash file.
*Occasionally, there is a [[Acknowledged Update Delays|lengthy gap]] between email updates. This is sometimes recognized at the start of the next email, as in [[army]], [[geddup noise]], [[redesign]], and [[hremail3184]].
*[[butt IQ]], [[CGNU]], [[3 Wishes]], and [[what I want]] are the only emails with capital letters in their titles.
*Typing sbemail.swf in the address bar will take you to the Flash file for the [[Compy 386]] era.
*Holding down the left mouse button and the tab key at the same time caused the area you pressed to go white (only for Lappy-era emails). You can move the mouse in the area without the original spot going away, however if you leave the original area, the spot goes away (you can also create new dots, as long as they are partly overlapping another dot).

===Remarks===
*At [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006|Flashforward 2006]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] gave a list of [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006#Pre-animation Process - 4:05 p.m.|five things not to email Strong Bad about]]. Additional information about which emails are selected were given in a later [[Late Nite JengaJam Interview - 4 Oct 2007#Email|radio interview]].
*During most emails, you see the back of Strong Bad's head when he sits in front of the computer, which is why he often starts a new line before the text reaches the right side of the computer's screen. However, on the Strong Bad Email menu, you don't see his head at all. This is probably so the viewers can use the bottom scroll button without anything in the way.
*During [[Lappynapped!]], [[retirement|retirement A]], [[retirement|retirement B]] after when the Lappy was kidnapped, and after [[hremail3184]] when the Lappy is destroyed, it was still used for the Strong Bad Email menu.
**If you clicked the random.bat button on the Lappy after [[hremail3184]] was released, Strong Bad would still say the things during the random email selection even though he wasn't still there.
*The Strong Bad Email menu of the Corpy NT6 lacked a random button; however, Strong Bad sung his lines for selecting a random email and a random email will be selected by using a Flash seekbar.
**The Compé menu lacked a random button from its introduction until August 31, 2009, when a new scroll button song was also released.
*The Compé Email Menu zooms in before Strong Bad finishes double-clicking it.
*The Compé Email Menu's "go rando!" button is clickable, even when zooming in.
*When Strong Bad's head moves, his mask protrudes the top of his head.

:This is a disambiguation page, not an article. People who type in "Mario Paint" are far more likely to be looking for one of these pages than for [[Nintendo]]. As such, this shoudl be '''kept''' as it is. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 22:07, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

:::DeFender: That's exactly why I created this disambig page. I wanted to watch [[Super NES]], but couldn't remember the name offhand, so I typed "Mario Paint" in the URL bar, figuring there'd be a redirect or something. When I found that there was no page of any kind, I considered making a redirect, either to the afformentioned toon or [[Nintendo]], then remembered [[Strong Bad is a Bad Guy]], and decided a disambig would work much better than a simple redirect. -{{User:YK/sig}} 22:18, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

'''[[Mario]] Paint''' has been used to make a few toons. It can refer to:

*[[Strong Bad is a Bad Guy]], a toon made many years later.

I removed this once, but it got re-added. I really don't see how it's all too important that one of the arms isn't shown. It seems about as worthwhile as a fun fact saying, for instance, "[[The Cheat|Ch8t]] is not present in this toon." Moreover, with only two Xeriouxly Forxe "toons" so far, it isn't as though H. Star's mechanical arms are entirely essential to his character... Thoughts? -{{User:YK/sig}} 01:55, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Main Page 26

YK — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 23:36:26 GMT

YK: I honestly don't see *this* as notable, either, unless there's a special reason I'm missing.

[[File:Main Page 26.PNG|220px|thumb|"I can't underxtand a word that you're xaying!"]]

A [[Xeriouxly Forxe]]-[[Xeriouxly Forxe Character Variations|themed]] main page.

'''Cast (In order of appearance):''' {{film|Homestar Runner}}/H. Star, {{film|Marshie}}/Marxie, {{film|Strong Bad}}/S. Bad, {{film|Strong Sad}}/S. Sad

'''Places:''' [[The Stick]]

'''Icon:''' Xeriouxly Forxe X

'''Page Title:''' Revamped for the Nineties!

'''Date:''' Monday, April 12, 2010

==Button Effects==
*'''[[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons]]''' — Each time the button is scrolled over, a spike is added to H. Star's head. After three spikes have appeared, seven more pop out. Scrolling over one more time causes them to all vanish.
*'''[[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|Games]]''' — H. Star raises his robotic arm and snaps the pincers on it twice.
*'''[[Character Videos|Characters]]''' — Marshie floats on screen, and is then turned into "Marxie" via a lightning strike. He says "Speed increased!" with an echo after "increased", and then explodes and vanishes.
*'''[[Downloads]]''' — S. Bad peeks on screen and says, "I can't underxtand a word that you're xaying!"
*'''[[Store]]''' — A lightning strike causes [[The Field]] to change into a Xeriouxly Forxe version of itself, with [[The Stick]] being replaced with a yellow, white, and purple flashing crystal. Scrolling over Store again reverts it to its normal status.
*'''[[Email]]''' — S. Sad flies across the screen, accompanied by wind effects, saying, in a gruff voice, "I'm mad that I'm flying!"

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*The [[FeedBurner Page#Toons - Homestar Runner: XERIOUXLY FORXE!|RSS description]] of this toon is:
<blockquote>Xeriouxly Forxe mania has hit the main pages of HomestarRunner.com like a shiny, pointy mouth that refuses to open when it talks! Get an exclusive look at both Marshie and the Stick in their Xerioux formx on this new main homepage! Even the copyright date got updated! Holy smoxe! Click here to mouseover to the EXTREME! </blockquote>

===Remarks===
*This main page does not use the new [[Main Page 24#Remarks|metallic sheen style]] of the previous two main pages.
*H. Star doesn't use the "extreme" pronunciations (e.g. "toonx" for "toons").
*This main page does not have a loading screen.
*This is the first time that a form of Marshie isn't a type of food.

===Inside References===
*S. Sad's line is a reference to Strong Sad's line in [[Main Page 15]].
*Marxie's line comes from [[Marshie's Malloween Mix-Up]].

== Welcome to The Homestar Runner Wiki! ==

Hello, and welcome to [[HRWiki:About|The Homestar Runner Wiki]]! This is the best place, as you've probably noticed, to learn about anything and everything [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]]. There are a couple of things you should read up on before you really start jumping in and editing -

*Take a look at the [[HRWiki:Standards|Wiki Standards]] to see how things work around here.
*Read up on how to edit at the [[Help:Editing|Editing Help]] section.
*Read the [[HRWiki:FAQ|FAQ]].
*Read the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Index MediaWiki User's Guide].
*If you're looking for more interaction with the users, our [http://www.chat.hrwiki.org Chat Channel] is always available, and we also have a [http://www.forum.hrwiki.org Wiki Forum].
*[[HRWiki:The Stick|The Stick]] is a place where you can find out some projects to do or committees to join, if you choose to.
*If you're still confused, check out the [[HRWiki:Introduction|Introduction]] page.

If you have any questions, ask them up in the [[Help:Contents|HelpDesk]] or ask [[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]], or any other of the [[Special:Listadmins|sysops or admins]] ('sysop' is just a special term for someone who watches over the wiki and has a few more rights than other users). I'm sure you'll catch on quickly, and all of the users are very nice here. Feel free to delete this message when you're done reading it, and I hope you stick around and join our team. Have fun! {{User:Pertmywert/sig}}, [[HRWiki:Welcoming committee|The Homestar Runner Wiki Welcoming Committee]]

== Wilde Coincidence? ==

Your name is a reference to ''The Picture of Dorian Gray'', is it not? And furthermore, does that indicate that you identify with the character Dorian Gray, or are you just a fan of the book/movie/story/author? If you are referencing the novel, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. I'm a big Oscar Wilde fan myself, and I wrote an essay on ''The Picture of Dorian Gray'' for Philosophy class, back in June. -[[User:Polly|Polly]] 07:47, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:Actually, I've been trying to find the novel to read. I only know about Dorian Gray from the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen film. I like reading the background of such things, which is why I want the novel. I haven't yet had an oppurtunity to get to the library yet, and it's never in at the bookstore...
::EDIT: I got my mum to check the book out for me instead. All is well. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Sorry for the edit ==

Ya sorry, that was pretty stupid of me, I just wanted to see if anyone would notice and change it. I promise nothing of the sort will happen again.
:That's quite all right. No lasting harm done, and it was all taken care of quickly. Thanks for apologising, though. I hope you enjoy the rest of your time here. ^-^ --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Moved examples into list ==

I hope it's okay, but on [[Talk:Ice Cream]] I went ahead and moved your examples into the list itself and put a note on it so others will edit it as they see fit. If you want, repost with your opinion on whether it should be a running gag. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:48, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:Yes, of course it's fine. Anything for the good of the wiki, yeah? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== England ==

Have a good trip! Never mind the bullocks! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:30, 16 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:England, huh? That's quite the trip you're taking. Hope it's a good one. We'll try to keep the wiki afloat during your absence, but it will be tough. Have a good time. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 03:30, 16 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Away Message Song ==

I'll be away in England for the next three weeks, y'all. Sorry. To make up for my not being here to help the Wiki, I offer you this away message song. Yes, it's the same 'Believe It Or Not' song that Homestar and George Costanza have sung to before. 

''Believe it or not, ''
''I'm away from the comp, ''
''So leave a message just for me. ''
''I must be out, or I'd IM you back. ''
''Where could I be? ''
''Believe it or not, you're alone! ''

Please, hold your applause. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:Well, Seany-sama, how was England? If you're from Pennsylvania, how come you spell favorite "favourite"? I'm from Texas, one of your other favou—I mean, favorite places. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:28, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::I spell everything the English way coz, well, coz I'm so hung up on England. Originally, though, it was a side effect from visiting Neopets and it's just stuck with me. And all those other reasons about it actually being the real and correct spelling and all. And as for England itself... Well, to tell the truth, it's not so different from here, except for the television programmes, when you get right down to it. But, despite being faintly similar, it was a total blast.
:::Did you go to the tower, or the abbey, or the palace? Did you ride the Eye? The last time I was there, I got to drive a car by myself through the cities and highways of Scotland. ''That'' was fun, and not just a little weird being on the wrong side of the road. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:57, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::::Me, I didn't really do much of anything a normal tourist does. I went up to stay with my friend, who I met a couple years ago online. We've been planning this forever. I stayed at her house up in Nottingham, so most of the sights I saw were generally A) really cool and loud, 2) around the general Nottingham area, and D) more "fun" than "historic" or "tourist-y". My mum and sister did the whole bus-tour thing throughout England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and even nipped down to France for a day, though. But I was more content to stay with my best friend than go sightseeing.

==Sound Effects==
I think it's great you're spearheading this project. Look at the formatting changes I just made (putting each table cell on a new line and a space after the align=center part). I think that makes the code easier to read. Also, be sure to link every instance in the last column. A user shouldn't have to search up and down the list for a link. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:31, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:All right. Thanks for the advice (and the help). And I just like making lists. I have tons of similar lists on my computer (none are H*R related, though). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==Secret==

Yes, it does. I was wondering if someone would see that. you win. --{{User:Bubsty/sig}} 20:41, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Synonyms ==

Um, have you been known to collect synonyms? I saw that in your entry. --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:31, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:For some things. Synonyms are useful if you write a lot. That way, you don't come off as boring by repeating yourself. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

So, we all know that. But do you REALLY do that for a livin'? --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:33, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Currently, I don't do ''anything'' for a living. I do it as more of a hobby. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Hobbies ==

I see. Why is that your hobby? --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:36, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:I think 'coz I'm weird like that' works best here. Anyway, I have a lot of hobbies, some of which I take more seriously. Some, like my synonym collections, are just for fun. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

I think you're right. If you want, you can tell me about synonyms in my talk page. --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:39, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Well, aside from all those ones for regurgitation, I only collect synonyms for 'crazy'. You can see them all [http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/16326646/ here]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

I remember learning that in school. But don't you want to tell me about it in my talk page? --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:57, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Well, I figure we're already here... Would you like me to move the discussion, then? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Uh, no. Just leave it here. --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 01:05, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:All right then. Maybe we can continue some other time on your page. But for now, I'm gonna go... [[Place]]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Okay then. I'll try to log on tomorrow. But till then, I'm outta here! --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 01:13, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Note ==

You asked for a note encouraging you to do that work on the Videlectrix games. I have left such a note [[Talk:50K_Racewalker#New_Racewalker_Image|here]]. See also the bit about the music. Thanks for being willing to do this. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:05, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:Willing, yes... Unfortunately, by the time I got here, it seems someone already added all the music links (although I was able to make a few minor corrections). As to the other bit... D'you want me to just include a new "Official Videlectrix Description" section in each game, or what? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 16:55, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
::Oh, whatever you think is best. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:26, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:::Looks like someone beat me to the punch there, too. I did get to do some minor formatting, though... Ah, well. Next time, I won't get 12 hours sleep before starting a project. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Thank You ==

Thanks, Dorian. I didn't even notice it happened. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 17:11, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:You're welcome. Any time. Just remember: CONSTANT VIGILANCE. (And if you know that quote, you get a cookie.) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Yeah! Thanks, dude. First time someone trolled my page :) {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 17:21, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:First time someone trolled my page too. But then, I was reverting all his edits, so it was to be expected. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::I know that quote. Its from Harry Potter book 4, from Mad-Eye Moody. (Cookie please?) {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 05:30, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
:::<nowiki>*</nowiki>gives Bubsty a cookie* Right in one. =) Noice work, Clanky. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Bottommost vote ==

Hey Dorian. This is a reminder that only your bottommost accept vote counts in STUFF. The one from the upper voting section has been removed. Please review this and make any changes if necessary. Thanks. (And thanks for voting for my revision. :) ) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:02, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
:Oh, okay. I didn't know that. First time voting for a revision... Keep it the way it is, with the vote at the revised version. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::As it turns out, I was persuaded that the revision was wrong, so I split the second half of it into its own item. You should review it an make a new vote accordingly. Sorry for all the confusion. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:49, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
:::Oy. Complication upon complication, eh? And it seems such a simple fact... So, in essence, I voted the same way you did for both facts. Thanks for the heads-up. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::Yeah, how did it become such a mess? ;) One last thing (and I'm really not trying to bother you with all this)... Would you like to fix your vote in the [[HRWiki:STUFF/Archive/Strong_Bad_is_a_Bad_Guy#Good_Ol.27_Uncle_Sam|archive]]? If so, then please do so. Just put a note in the edit summary to see your talk page. Or I could fix it for you. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:17, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
:::::Yes, please fix it for me. No one will question it if it comes from you, I've noticed. =3 --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::::I swear this is the last time I'll post on this subject on your talk page. After studying the evidence a little closer, it seems the ''drawing'' of Uncle Sam didn't come about until the 1830s. So I changed my vote to the revision. (Not that you have to vote the same way I do, but since we've been through it together ''this'' far, I thought it would only be polite for me to let you know I'd switched again. But I'm ''not'' switching ''any more''... I hope.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:04, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
:::::::Thanks. I didn't realize that. [[User:Shnizzedy|Johnny Baby]] 15:47, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

== Hmm.. I thought I checked that ==

Must not have notice he was already blocked. (I really did check—honest!) {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 04:49, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
:Oh, I believe you. Sometimes it's easy to glance over a name. I've done that sort of thing many times in my day. Nice catch anyway, though. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==I wouldn't put ''anything'' in that yellow man's mouth!==
Yes, your memory of a decision not to transliterate The Cheat Talk is correct: see [[HRWiki talk:Standards#Standardize "The Cheat Noises"]]. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 21:33, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
:Ah, thanks... I can never find that when I want it. And I wonder if that urban legend about a dog's mouth being cleaner than our own even applies to yellow ones. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==Defender of the Wiki==
[[Image:defender of the wiki.jpg|thumb|Handcrafted by Fell Blacksmiths]]DorianGray was one of several users assiduously reverting the tsunami of edits of an IP-shifting troll-bot the night of November 11th 2005. For your heroism, this [[HRWiki:Barnstars|barnstar]] seems a small token. And your new Viking name will be DorianGray TrollBane. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 08:00, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

:Many congraturations!!! (Hey Wilbur, mind if I eat the last one?) {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 16:30, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
::Woo! Thanks, guys. Glad to help out. I just did what anyone with the best interest of the wiki at heart would do. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::P.S. Yeah, Bubsty, go ahead. I was just gonna put it at the end of my new card game anyway.

== Yeah...sorry about that. ==

About the Star Wars intro on [[haircut]], I was really tired when I heard that. The "Da Da Da Dear" sounded like the opening notes of the Star Wars main theme to me, at the time. Now it just sounds...not like that.

Anyway, sorry.
-{{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}}
:No problem. I can see how one might think that, but it's really kind of... not that. No need to be sorry. That's the way the wiki works, yeah? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::Oh, come on. A Holiday Greeting most likely to be reverted? It doesn't sound like Chriiiii(st) to you? Listen to it one more time just to make sure. If you don't hear it though, I understand. Or did you revert it because you thought I was being in appropriate? Either way, I understand.

Sorry again.
-{{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}}
:::Yeah, I'm thinkin' more of who it would offend rather than what it sounds like. The page has a history of that revert, and I was just following what [[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] put last time I remember it being reverted (right down to the edit comment). Maybe we could take it to the talk page. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::::Understandable, but we didn't write/say/direct this. I thought we were here to report and act as a reference. I know it will offend a few people, but we're just supposed to state the facts, aren't we? Maybe it deserves a vote.

==quote?==
:As you might have noticed, I have a new quote thingy on my user page. Do you have a quote you can/want to use? Just keep it under PG-13. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 19:02, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
::You came to the right guy, then. ^-^ I have a lot of quotes I use all the time... Let's see... How about this one: "Don't put off until tomorrow what you can put off until the day after tomorrow." --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::That is the first time I hear that saying in English. It's far more common in Hebrew. ("Al tidkh'e lemakhar ma she'ata yakhol lidkhot lemakhrataim") {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 19:39, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
::::Really? That's neat... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==award'd==
:So... for being a cool person, (and for being the first person to notice my guestbook), you get the '''thank you award'''.
:Thanks! {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 03:29, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
[[Image:Thankyouposter.PNG|thumb|The thank you award presented to '''DorianGray''']]
::Thank ''you'', and you're welcome. ^-^ And a very merry Decemberween to you too. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

:::Sorry, to keep posting, but I have one more thing. After counting every single e-mail password reminder I got, (which took a long time), I found out that I got 4992 password reminders. Maybe next time Dorian... {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 03:45, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
::::Aw, man. Although I hope there ''isn't'' a next time... Ah, well. I'll go change mine to second place. Or "one of the most". Or something like that. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==New Format==
Hey DorianGrey. I was wondering, did you bring up your new format unto Standards? Try to clear it up with them before you implement new formats. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 00:03, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
:Well, actually... It was discussed a lot under one of the Running Gags (I forget which), and was then applied to several other pages. I just was bored and thus decided to take the next step. If I was out of order, sorry. It was discussed with users I respect a lot, so I figured it wasn't too bad. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::If you discussed it, it isn't out of order. Most people didn't like italics, though. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 00:13, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
:::Well, we liked italics better than the <nowiki></nowiki> tags, I think. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Awww, that's the sweetest guestbook signature! ==

Thanks! :) {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 21:53, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

::Really? How come? {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 21:58, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

:::::Wow, that seems complicated. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::::It's a relatively simple and yet full-featured sound editor - personally, I think it's just as good as a more expensive package like Sound Forge. Give it a try. :) {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:16, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
:::::::All right, but what do I click on? Is it free? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::::::On the main page, click on "Goldwave 5.12 is Available", then in the Download Links section, click on one of the links to download the program. It's shareware, and it will start prompting you to register it after a month (I think). It's something like $40 to register (or at least it was when I registered it, which was some time back). {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:26, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
:::::::::Ooy. I dun care for shareware... Not if it's gonna prompt me for cash. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::::::::If you can't afford the money-cost variety, might I recommend [http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ Audacity]. Or even if you can! This is the best of both worlds: it's free, and it's really high-quality non-crap. I mean, the digital music labs at both Eastman School of Music and UNC have it on their computers. Plus it's open source so it's good karma. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 05:46, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

I didn't even realize [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:Stux&diff=215077&oldid=215069 until now] I had [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:Stux&diff=210301&oldid=210298 blatantly] ... um borrowed, your [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Stux&diff=208684&oldid=208666 nonsense incarnate line]. My my, no wonder I was coming up with such "great ideas". --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 21:33, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
:Great minds think alike? Or it could simply be that "nonsense incarnate" is simply such a great description of everyone's favourite blue midget Homestar. I, in turn, can say I got it from his [[Homsar|character page]]'s opening lines.
:To be honest, I hadn't even noticed. But thanks for giving credit to me anyways. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== How could I forget? ==

In answer to your question of how I could forget to link Dot com's name correctly: actually, I forget that sort of thing all the time. I can be pretty absent-minded, especially when I'm thinking about otheer things, like a project that I'm working on. So, thanks for catching that one for me! I probably wouldn't have for quite some time. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:13, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

::Ayuh.--{{User:Homsarroks/sig}} 21:12, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

==Trollage==

Wow. First troll in a while. What a waste of one of the few chances to troll nowadays. The least he could have done is waited until the dark of night, and then moved a million pages here there and everywhere... In any case, thanks for the revert. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:18, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
:That's what I'm here for... And it was a pretty sad attempt, truth be told. If I was a troll--which I am not, never was, never will be--I'd make something special of it, since the chance is rare, like you said. (Hopefully, we're not giving anyone any ideas. Although, my talk page and user page are rarely looked at, so there should be no problem.) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Oh, and just for the record, we actually had a similar incident of vandalism only about a week ago, when someone decided to blank portions of [[Homestar Runner]] (a similarly feeble effort, quickly reverted). So it actually hasn't been all that long. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:30, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
:::Haha, yea, I saw that one. I think it was Jay that got him. But the block log has been pretty sparce as of late, there's only been like a dozen blocks (3 or 4 because of trolls) since NSMC. I feel kinda special to have been able to block one of the few trolls in the past while. And yeah DorianGray, you gotta watch for 'em.

==Reverts==
I would like to help out the site. Can you tell me how a revert works? [[User:Marth 99|Marth 99]]
:Sure I can! When a page has been trolled or had a bad edit made, the simplest way to change it back is to revert it. Each page has a history of every edit made to it, see. Up at the top, you'll notice a little tab marked "history" (it's the fourth from the left, usually). Click on that and it'll bring up a page of all the edits made to that page, most recent ones on the top. Find the version you want to change it back to and click the date for that version. This will bring that version up in the window for editing. Just type "reverted" or "rv" (or "rv/v" for vandalism) ito the edit summary box beneath it and hit "save page". And that will correct the whole page! I hope that helps. If not, check out the [[Help:Contents|Help pages]] for more information. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Danke ==

Thanks for reverting my user page from that vandal. That's a first for me, getting vandalised. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:19, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
:Well, I certainly wasn't going to just leave it, yeah? Oddly, I've reverted several people's first trollings. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Sure, I knew you wouldn't just leave it, but I thought I'd still thank you. I suppose with my revert-happy trigger finger I'm probably getting vandals mad at me by now and it was sure someone would come after me. Great way to celebrate the new year, don't you think? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:14, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
:::Happens all the time. If you check the Contribs of trolls who vandalise userpages, I bet most will have another edit that was reverted by the same person whose page they ruined. I know this coz it's happened to me several times. It's nice to get back in the trenches again, though, isn't it? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::That's what I'd always thought about that (I remember one vandal who wrote an obscene message about Thesmokingmonkey after he made a revert). Which I find interesting, since I'd never reverted anything by this guy. He seems to have been nothing but a troublemaker: he just want after me and [[User:Has Matt?|Has Matt?]] for no obvious reason. But I had always figured it would happen someday. And yes, it's good to be back in the trenches. I love reverting crappy edits again! {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:33, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

== Drawing of Darth Katana X ==

Yo, Dorian. I was wondering if you would draw a picture of Darth Katana X for my profile. I see by your guestbook entry and your deletion of AbdiViklas' note on John Reuben that you've seen my profile. You can read up on my Sith Apprentice there, if you haven't already.

He looks like Inuyasha dressed like Darth Vader, but he's only wearing Vader's headgear. And he has a big, glowing Katana Sword. So, would you mind drawing that? Because that'd totally rock - thanks one million! {{User:Darth Katana X/sig}}
:I'd be totally willing to give it a try, although I can't promise top quality. But I shall still try! DorianGray never backs down from a challenge, believe it! I'll get on that first chance I have. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Awesome! Thank you! Supashi-bo! {{User:Darth Katana X/sig}}

==Squeaketycoo==
On the other hand, can we hold up just a sec on the unsqueaking? I think there ''are'' a few times when it's okay. After all, Strong Bad does call "a little yellow squeaky thing". Specifically, if he makes a ''single'' noise, like "Meh!", that isn't exactly a scream, then I think that could best be called a squeak. It's more wieldy than '''THE CHEAT:''' ''{makes a The Cheat noise}''. Also [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=The_Best_Decemberween_Ever&curid=1024&diff=297773&oldid=297028&rcid=244845 this] seems like a good candidate for squeaking: the intent is to say he "sings along," but what the Cheat does can't really be called singing. About the best thing it can be called, then, is squeaking. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 17:23, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
:Well, there's pretty much nothing left to correct anyways, so I can definitely hold up for a while. =3 Fix whatever you like; I guess there ARE some times when it's okay, like you said. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Cool. I think I'll just revert a few on the basis of wieldiness. For the record, the [[HRWiki talk:Standards#Standardize "The Cheat Noises"|original crusade]] was to correct instances where people had tried to transliterate The Cheat noises into our alphabet.

Hey Dorian:

I wanted to let you know that you are one of the best countervandals I've ever known. Before I was a sysop, I remember how often the two of us were working together to stop a persistent vandal. Since I became a sysop, I find myself blocking vandals after being alerted by your reverts.

You've already received the Defender of the Wiki barnstar for revering NSMC, but I felt it was time for you to get a little more recognition: not for one act of countervandalism, but for a long history of defending this wiki. I'm leaving you this image to let you know you'll always be a colonel in the Homestarmy in my mind. Keep up the good fight, man. Constant vigilance! {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:10, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
:And the same to you. =) I'm happy to help any way I can, and will continue to do so as long as I can. ^-^ Thanks very much for the recognition. It makes me feel special. I'm glad to be part of such a dedicated wiki, and to know such dedicated users. May you continue to great things too. =) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== You Following Me? ==

i was reading over my talk in random things, and ive gotten a lot of responses from you. thanks! now i know that other people patrol the recent changes pages:)-{{User:Homsar7/sig}}
:Oh, yeah. Lots of people do. That's pretty much how I spend my day. Checkin' the recent changes for stuffs. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==Hawaii==
Since you wanted to know about Hawaii so bad I am making a Hawaiian Journal On my Talk page and Day 1 is up.{{User:Dacheatbot/sig}} 23:08, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
:Cool. I'll definitely have to take a look. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
== Once again...==
Like the other countless vandalism reverts you've done, someone has to thank you. So I will. :) Seriously, you astound me with your amazing abilities to represent the wiki like you do. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 19:52, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
:^-^ I jus' do what anyone with the best interest of the wiki at heart would do. *sweatdrop* An' I did mess up a little towards the end there, if you check the move log. Shh! Is a secret. o_o --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::LOL. Heimstern, we've got a possible vandal, and he doesn't seem stable...</useless gossip> — {{User: Seriously/sig}}
:::Nah, I jus' misread the move log entry and thought he'd moved my page, so I hit the revert. Then realised that was the entry for [[privileges]] I'd just done. So I had to re-revert it. Happens to the best of us sometimes... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::Heh. I saw that error during that mess. Wasn't going to bring it up, but since you did... Well, you might be interested in [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Fhqwhgads&diff=prev&oldid=282268 this edit]. Heh. I was a little new to the rollback button at the time. :-) {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:04, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
:::::Y'know, that reminds me of something Has Matt? and some others did a while ago in the sandbox...gimme a sec to find it, it's really funny. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 21:07, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

==[[Homestar Singing]]==

Thanks for the help with the formatting and writing style on that page. - [[User:Totoro|Totoro]] 19:44, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
:Oh, any time. I love to help out where I can. And it's a neat page, too. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Copyright category ==

Hey Dorian. It looks like you found a good category for that category. Just so you know, those templates are some advance work I'm doing in preparation for our switch to MediaWiki 1.6. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:07, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
:Yeah, I wasn't planning to tag anything with them. Although, I do have a question. Is there anything you'd tag [[:Image:Darkfire Taimatsu.PNG|my personal image]] with? It's art a friend of mine drew, so it really doesn't fit anything that ''I'' know of... Also [[:Image:DarthDrawing.jpg|the one]] I drew for Darth Katana X. Anything you'd class those under? I've been wondering for a while now... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::I think the path of least resistance would be to slap a {{tl|permission}} tag on 'em. I should point out that there are others with way more experience than I when it comes to image copyright tags, so you might could get a better answer. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:20, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
:::I'll put that on 'em, then, unless/until someone else finds something better. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::Well, unless your friend specifically agrees to release the rights to the picture, {{tl|permission}} is the most appropriate template. There's basically 3 types of image tag: 1) The owner says we can use it ({{tl|permission}}) II) The owner says anyone can use it ({{tl|gfdl}}, the Creative Commons licenses, etc) C) The owner hasn't said we can use it, but we're using it anyway under Fair Use ({{tl|web-screenshot}} et al) (plus the tags that say "we really shouldn't be using this", like {{tl|no license}}). This image is clearly under group 1, (unless your friend wants to move it into II). {{User:Phlip/sig}} 05:36, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
:::::I can ask her. Right now, even. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::::She says she'd prefer it left as {{tl|permission}}. So that's all good then. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Sorry ==
I don't think I said this or not, but you know when I created those sockpuppets on here? Well if you do then I am sorry for trying to trick people into thinking that I wasn't making them. Do you forgive me?--[[User:H*Bad|H*Bad]] 21:00, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
:Apology accepted. =) The important thing is that you learned from your mistake, right? Not gonna do it again, yeah? =) That's what really matters. We can be quite forgiving 'round here, I think. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Unless your name has NSMC or ON WHEELS in it. And yes I did learn my lesson.--[[User:H*Bad|H*Bad]] 21:50, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
:::That's true. We don't have much forgiveness for those guys. They don't learn, or try to reform. Unlike you, eh? Good luck to you, and all your wiki...ing. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Wiki ==
How do you say Wiki?--[[User:H*Bad|H*Bad]] 21:56, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
:Some say "wick-ey", some say "wee-kee". I say the former. (See [[Wikipedia:Wiki|wiki]] at Wikipedia.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:59, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
::Me personally? I say it "wee-kee". It's from the Hawaiian ''wikiwiki'', which means "quick" (refers to how easy it is to edit on here). So I use the pronounciation that's directly from the Hawaiian root, mostly due to my slight obsession with Hawaii. However, for some reason, I pronounce "Wikipedia" as "wick-i-pee-dee-a". --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::I say it the same way. Which is why I was wondering. Thanks again.--[[User:H*Bad|H*Bad]] 22:03, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
::::Any time. Always glad to help, if I can. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::::"Wee-kee-pedia" is really hard to say... {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 22:08, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
::::::I've always thought wick-ey has a nice ring to it. --[[User:Garfunkel|<TT>Garfunkel</TT>]] 22:09, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
:::::::Due to a certain locational obsession ''I'' have, I've occasionally pronounced it "vee-kee". :-) But not usually. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 22:38, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
::::::::Here's a fascinating piece of trivia for you: [[Mike]] pronounces it "wick-ey" (cf. [[animal]] DVD [[animal#Commentary Transcript|commentary]]). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:18, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
:::::::::That is neat. =) Cool to know, as I have no DVD access myself. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::::::::Aw Hebrew don't have a letter for the W sound, some of my friends say it like Viki. I usually switch back and forth from W to V, depends who I'm talking to. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 05:27, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
:::::::::::Then there's always the less common "Why-Kai" (Sounds like [[Wikipedia:Wi-Fi|Wi-Fi]]). Though I don't usually use it, it still sounds pretty cool. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 05:51, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
::::::::::::That, of course, leads to the question "Why not [[Wikipedia:Kai Hiwatari|Kai]]?" (Feel free to choose any other Kai you like, too.) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==Senior Prom, I Am The Walrus edit==
Oh, sorry. I thought my computer messed up, so I added it again. And by the way, iTunes Listed the song 'I Am the Walrus' under styx. Check if you have it.
:Sorry, I don't. Maybe they remade it...? (*should look that up*) But it was originally performed by The Beatles. No harm done, though. Catch you later. =) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Have a look at [[Wikipedia:I Am The Walrus#Cultural references]], in particular the "cover versions" bit. I'm guessing the version on iTunes is the Styx cover, rather than the Beatles original. If I remember correctly, there was issues between the [[Wikipedia:Apple Computer|Apple]] that owns iTunes and the [[Wikipedia:Apple Records|Apple]] that owns the Beatles songs... so for a long time there were no Beatles songs on iTunes... I dunno if it was ever resolved. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 12:37, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
:::Cool... Thanks for the info. That's neat. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== um... ==

hello, i was wondering...as i was reading your page, you spelled "favorite" as favourite". i have a question.

are you english and if so did you enjoy sb_email 22? -{{User:Homsar7/sig}}
:Nope, I'm not English, but one of my best friends is. I just picked it up both from her and an obession with Neopets. =3 And I still find sb_email 22 funny, if short. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Homsar's Speech ==

Hey Dorian. :) Just wanted to thank you for the <s>flowers you sent me while I was in the hospital</s> help on my Homsar's Speech project! Seems like we're almost done, and so far I've only found two, maybe three things he's ever said that are genuine word salads. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:17, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
:Oh, any time. It was fun, as Homsar is quite th' character... And now I have, like, most of his line memorised, I think. I really like seeing the analyses of each line... He's more coherent than I originally thought. o_o --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Sure seems to be. I think this project conclusively proves that Homsar is actually pretty "with it" - just random in the way he communicates with others. Once the project is done, I'm wondering if we should make this an actual article that we can then point to from the main Homsar article or its Talk page... or otherwise include the analysis on the Talk page, or something. It's useful data that can help to define and refute the "word salad" assertion on both Homsar's page and the Wikipedia page. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:32, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
:::Yeah, I really like it... Quite an interesting article. Sheds new light on a beloved wacky character. And Homsar is now reminding me of a character of my own, who also speaks in an unusual way (example: she uses the word "circle" instead of "family"). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Thanks for the Memo ==
Yeah, I'm sorry about he mishap. Yes, it was me who was editing my page. I'm sorry for the confusion, and I've set it to auto log-in from now on so it does not happen again.
Thanks again, [[User:Omegalord|Omegalord]]
:No problem. I have mine set like that myself. Hope we didn't set you back too much with our reverts. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Dinosaurs and Genus ==

A "genus" is one single level up from "species", so saying that dinosaurs are their own genus is not only not true (there is more than one genus of Dinosaur - quite a few, in fact!) but also not relevant - They are part of the [[Wikipedia:Sauropsid|Sauropsid]] class, which is the class containing all reptiles (it also happens to include birds.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:03, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
:I always get those rotten kingdom, order, phylum, species things mixed up... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==Recent Valiant Efforts==

I'd give you a defender sword, but I see you already have one. In any case, that was some first class reverting. Sorry there were no sysops on hand at the time to drop the hammer. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 23:20, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
:It was kinda fun. I haven't done high-class reverting like that in a long time. Thankies. =) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Sysop ==

Hey Dorian. It is my pleasure to announce that you have been given [[HRWiki:Administrators|sysop]] privileges and responsibilities. If you have any questions, never hesitate to ask. May you always use your powers for good and for awesome. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:04, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

== Trying to make this Userbox work ==
Hi there, I was just wondering if you could help me (or know who could). I made a new userbox for my userpage which uses a random Homsar quote. I tried to add it to the Userbox page and it won't work because of the template inside a template format, the homsarquote template I mean. It works ON my user page and outside of the <userboxsampes> tag, just not inside of it. Any idea how to make that work?
--{{User:Bleed0range/sig}} 21:05, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
:Hmm, I dunno much myself, but I'll certainly ask around. I know a few people who might be able to help, maybe. I's not much good with coding and stuff myself. *sweatdrop* Let you know once they get on, or something. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

:::Thanks Loafing, but I think you misunderstand the problem. It will work inside that. Look at my userpage and you will see what I made. It's making it work inside the <userboxsample> tag on the Userbox page. The page with the preview and code next to it? It won't work in there for some reason.--{{User:Bleed0range/sig}} 21:38, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
::::Oh, I see now. That looks like a bug in userboxsamples. [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] would be the guy to fix that.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 07:48, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

:Wow, great minds ''do'' have similar thought processes, or however the saying goes. =3 big white face seems right, but I may have been thinking of another (can't remember where, though. I think it was a game, maybe). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Oops... ==

Sorry. I was the one who made that "Kick The Cheat" edit on the "Twin Characters" section. Thanks for correcting me! (I completely forgot about artistic licence)! Just wanted to let you know I appreciate the help, and I'll consider that factor next time!... 4kai2lyn6...
:No problem. That edit, and many similar ones, all used to be there until very recently, when we started to rethink the page. Sometimes it's just hard to tell. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==Quotes==

Everything I've ever read or seen said that even if only one word of a quote was being used that punctuation should be in the quote.

You said "This really can't be proven, seems speculative, not the full H'ween toon, and it's a real shirt." about my edit. Can you explain further? I thnk TBC put that there for people to ponder it? Can you please put it back? --{{User:Theyellowdart/sig}}
:It's speculation to assume TBC put it there for people to ponder, because we don't know what they were thinking. We run a knowledge base, based in fact, not assumption. It was not the full, official Halloween toon for that year, and they probably didn't use Homestar's costume for spoiler reasons. To round it out, Homestar's shirt is a real shirt, generally used by people too lazy to wear a real costume (like people who answer the door for trick-or-treaters, for example). Those are the reasons I took it out. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

No need to be a jerk, dude. "Ugh?" "Not at all aesthetically pleasing?" Give me a break. That's an exaggeration -- especially since it's a matter of your personal taste -- and regardless of your preferences, the harsh words are completely unnecessary.

I guess you don't want people to constructively contribute if you're going to behave like that.
:No offense meant. It's just that strong stylistic changes like this should be brought before the community and discussed beforehand, before any changes go into effect. Mebbe I was a little harsh, but it really does look bad. It doesn't fit at all. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== quite certain he says "oh my lan" ==

Considering that Renold says before hand: "Get your hands off those floppy disks and fiscal reports" it would suggest he says oh my lan. oh my land isn't even a saying.

For the sake of argument, I recorded the part he said and played it over, there is no audio wave that suggests him saying "d" after lan.

Thanks for removing my post for no reason except that you thought I should "take it to the forum". Tape Leg's wiki page has a note saying that some think it's the worst episode. I mentioned that perhaps "Rough Copy" was, which would carry a similar note if their was a concensus.

Comments on talk pages concerning personal opinions of the toons are routinely removed for exactly the reason Dorian provided — they don't concern the content of the article.

==Pokémon Help==
=== Eggs ===

Hello buddy! Is it possible in FireRed/LeafGreen to hatch more than one egg? I already hatched one egg from the day-care on Four Island, but I can't hatch anymore from there. Is there any other way to hatch an egg? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}03:17, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
:Oh, sure. There's tons of compatible eggs. You just have to leave two Pokémon of the same Egg group at the day care. (Ditto is a good way to get around this.) And then wait until an Egg appears. Is that helpful, or do you need more info? Have any other breeding questions? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 03:50, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
::Well, uhh... I knew about the Ditto thing where you put a pokemon with Ditto at the day care and you get an egg with the pokemon you put with ditto, but can you do it again? I want an egg with another Zapdos. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}19:34, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
:::That's the problem, then. You can hatch as many eggs as you want, but the one-of-a-kind Pokémon like Zapdos, Mewtwo, Mew, Lugia, Celebi, etc. can't be bred at all. [[User:76.5.105.107|76.5.105.107]] 19:40, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
:::Oh, Zapdos can't breed. It's in the No Eggs group. Generally, all legendary Pokémon, all baby Pokémon (Pichu, Magby, Elekid, and so on), and a few others (Unown, Nidoran (F), and Nidorina) can't breed. They're too special. If you want another Zapdos, you'll have to trade it from another game. Sorry. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:42, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
::::But can you get more than one egg from the day care? If yes, how? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}19:57, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
:::::They'll give you eggs your Pokémon produce whenever they produce them. Just leave two compatible Pokémon, and go off and do something else. Come back in a while, and maybe they've produced an egg. If you leave Ditto and another breedable Pokémon, you're guaranteed to get an egg sooner or later. You just have to go somewhere else and walk around a bit. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 20:00, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

=== Unowns ===

Hi, do you know anything about the Unown pokemon in the Tanoby Ruins? Before the chambers had '''nothing''' at all in them, no pokemon, nothing. Then I found the Tanoby key, activated it and there were unown pokemon in the chambers! Each unown is exactly the same, except for the body shape, and at the front of one chamber, a guy says a mystic pokemon lives in the chamber. Some of my friends say all the unowns are the shape of each letter of the alphabet and if you catch all of them to create the alphabet, the mystic pokemon will appear in the chamber(s). Do you know anything about the mystic pokemon, the unowns or the chambers? If so, please tell me, thanks. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}19:39, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
:The mystic Pokémon the guy is referring to is probably the Unown themselves. Unown are pretty fascinating. They do match up to the alphabet: one Unown for each of the 26 letters, as well as one each for ? and !. I haven't yet been able to find Unown ? or ! in Tanoby (they're really rare). The only thing you get for collecting all 28 Unown is the satisfaction of knowing you have them all, though. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:43, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
::Do you know anything about the legendary dogs? Because I heard after defeating the elite four (I defeated it 3 times), outside of Cerulean cave a legendary dog will appear and the type will depend on which starter pokemon you picked. I picked Squirtle so my dog should be the thunder dog. Do you know anything about it? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}19:48, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
:::Yes, that's true. Depending on your starter, one of the Legendary Beasts will appear in Kanto: Raikou for Squirtle, Entei for Bulbasaur, and Suicune for Charmander. They're extremely hard to catch, though. They move around between routes, so you have to use your Pokédex to track them down (only once you find it in the first place, though). Then, if you're lucky enough to be in the same place at the same time, you'll encounter it randomly in the tall grass. It runs at the start of the battle, so putting it to sleep or using Mean Look will help keep it there long enough to wear it down and catch it. If you do manage to catch it, it's a very powerful Pokémon, so treat it well. =) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:59, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
::::Well, I found the Raikou last night looking for meowths and I found it and it fled. I looked in the pokedex to find where it was, I ran into it, had my wobbuffet first with the shadow tag ability. The Raikou couldn't escape because of shadow tag, but it used roar and escaped. Then because it was very late, I turned it off and then today when I played it, I went to Raikou's pokedex entry to find it's location and it said "area unknown". Do you know how I'm supposed to confront it again and if yes, how do I catch it if it either runs away or uses roar? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}15:58, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
:::::Hmm. Dunno why it's not appearing in the Pokédex locator. Catching one of the beasts is usually mostly luck, and a big pain in the rear. I saved my Master Ball for Entei just coz I hate catching the roaming Pokémon. I could do a li'l research, see if there's anything that has, like, both Suction Cups and Mean Look (Ingrain and Spider Web?) or something. I don't know many counters for Roar... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:05, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

=== eevee ===

Hi, do you know how to get Eevee? I heard you get it in the Celadon Mansion, but how do you get it? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}23:21, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
:You just go around the back of the building. There's a back entrance that leads to a room on the roof. Eevee is up there. You probably need to have only 5 Pokémon in your party, too, so you have room to take it. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 23:26, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
::Heh, want to know something funny? I got to Celadon a really long time ago and got Eevee a long time ago, so today I looked everywhere and I was just confused, and I looked in the PC and I found the Eevee! Funny, eh? Oh and you said Entei, so you probably picked Mr. Venus. I don't really like Venusy, I don't think it's very good. I like Blasty the best, which is why I picked it. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}02:52, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
:::I picked Bulbasaur because, way back in Blue version, Bulbasaur was my first Pokémon. I wanted to carry the tradition.
:::Neat how you found th' Eevee. I love a good story like that. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 02:54, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
::::I The reason I picked Squirtle is because I tried all the starters and thought Squirtle was the best. Also because everybody picks Charizard, so if they breed their Charizard, they would maybe trade me something for their Charmander. One of my friends who picked Bulbasaur traded for one of my Squirtle's so he could easily take out his rival's Charmy. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}14:04, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
::::Oh, yeah, I hope in Diamond you didn't pick Turtwig. It sucks. I picked Piplup because it's best and Infernape is so-so. {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}}23:07, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::I picked Turtwig in Diamond because it was the least ugly of all the starters. And Torterra is pretty beastly, actually. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:42, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::Wha?!?! You picked Turtwig? Least ugly? I actually think Turtwig is the most ugly. Heh. Well, at least Torterra doesn't suck like Venusaur. I always pick water types except in Emerald because it is the only Pokemon in Gen. III that knows Leaf Blade. I bet if we battled, my Empoleon would whip your Torterra because it is Jolly so I'd go first and use Ice Beam which does 4x damage! Muohahaha!!!!! But my friend who always picks grass types, his best attack is Razor Leaf even with his lv. 100 Venusaur! {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}} 22:15, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::Razor Leaf is actually a pretty decent move. Nice damage level, good hit percentage, lots of HP, and the possibility of a critical hit. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:20, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::Naw, Razor Leaf sucks. 55 power. The only good thing is it has a high chance of doing a critical hit. It's not even 100% accurate. Well, 95 is still good accuracy, but Razor Leaf sucks.
:::::::55 is actually pretty decent for a mid-level attack with no drawbacks. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:27, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::::55 actually isn't good. Flamethrower or Thunderbolt is 100% accurate, 95 power and has no recoil and can burn or paralyze, so Razor Leaf... is no good. {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}} 22:32, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::Oh, you like stories, don't you? Well, this might make you laugh. You can only get one Master Ball in the game right? Well, you want to save it for the legendary dog, but it's okay if you use it on Articuno or MewTwo or maybe Zapdos or Moltres. Well, my friend really wanted Articuno because he didn't save infront of the other legendary birds. So he took out Zapdos and Moltres, so Articuno was the only one left. That bird is so hard to catch, so if you don't have like a million ultra balls, chances are you won't catch it, so I used my master ball on it. Well, my friend used his master ball on a level 14 Onix then released his Onix. Then he found Articuno and it escaped all of his balls, s he kept on resetting and he did that about 20 times and finally gave up. This was about a month ago, and the Articuno is still standing there, so I can't wait for the Mewtwo! {{User:Zapdos/sig}}14:14, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
::::::Heh. Your friend has some bad luck. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 18:32, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
:::::::Oh, yeah, he caught Mewtwo and when he was trying, when he threw a ball, he went on his hands and knees and was dragging his knees across the carpet going "PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE CATCH!!!" and actually started crying, everyone there thought he was just weird so we laughed, and when he caught Mewtwo, he screamed "YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". So, yeah, it was hard for him without da Master Ball. But we all thought that was very weird how he cried. {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}}23:07, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

[11:04:13] <DeFender1031> just read your edit summary

[11:04:19] <DeFender1031> and the transcript you fixed

[11:05:16] <DorianGray_> Complete incompetents should not do DVD commentaries.

[11:05:26] <DeFender1031> http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=theme_song&diff=597152&oldid=597038 it was even worse before that

[11:06:05] <DeFender1031> "Limbext"

[11:06:12] <DeFender1031> WHAT?!????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!#%^#!@^@!@

[11:06:56] <DorianGray_> "Philiet" was a lot closer than "Philippe".

[11:08:13] <DorianGray_> In the future, we should require that you actually OWN the DVD that you're trying to transcribe. =3

[11:08:34] <SysRq868> How very encouraging of you all.

[11:08:59] <SysRq868> I'm sure MichaelXX2 is very pleased to know that of all of his efforts, you can only spot his mistakes, as if you never made any.

== Dangeresque 3 Goofs ==

On the Dangeresque 3 page, you wrote under goofs: "In extended play, several scenes involving Renaldo will replay without his being there."

I'm confused as to which scenes you mean. So far as I can see, the only scenes which involve Renaldo in extended play (besides the Sun) are specifically stated to be bloopers or out-takes from the making of the movie, meaning his absence in the present scene is no hinderance to him being there in the response sequences. If that makes any sense. It's also implied on a number of occasions that Coach Z is holding the camera in many shots without Renaldo, so hearing his voice in those shots is also not a goof. --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 12:46, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

I also recall a scene in the Secret Lab (the specifics of which I forget), which cuts to a shot of Renaldo, who is there during the normal game, but not during extended play. As if he's invisible. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 13:01, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
::Ah, I see - if you give the Diet Brown to Experimento in extended play, the original squence plays, but with invisio-Renaldo. That, however, is the only one I've been able to find. Unless your version is different, taking the Diet Brown the second time only results in Strong Bad delivering the first line and taking the can straight away. I haven't seen any other ghostly appearences from Renaldo... --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 20:20, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

== "Is" vs "is" ==

The game doesn't captialise the i in is - it's "8-Bit is Enough". Nor, for that matter, does our own [[8-Bit is Enough]] page. It's only whoever first created the links to the Responses pages that capitalised the I. So do we want to stick with how they do it in-game, or (since there's now more pages with a capital I} just capitalise them all for consistency? --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 22:06, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
:Personally, I prefer the uncapitalised version. I only moved the two responses pages to the capital version because it was easier than moving all the others. If you wanna un-move 'em and move all the others, that's fine with me. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:10, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

== Stub vs. Incomplete ==

I don't exactly understand the distinction, particularly in list-based articles. Can you explain a bit more? -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.151.140|132.183.151.140]] 21:12, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
:A stub is an article that is incomplete on a temporary basis. There is only a finite amount of information available. Most articles would get this template. An incomplete list is an article that is incomplete on a semi-permanent basis. As long as toons are continuing to be made, there is something to add each time a new toon is made. Examples include [[Sound Effects]] (since repeated sounds are used in nearly every toon) and [[Fonts]] (since there are new and reused fonts in many toons). An article or section marked as a stub is only a stub for as long as there is information to be added. As soon as all the available information is included, it's no longer a stub, and the template is removed. If new information is obtained (e.g. new or expanded appearances), it's added to the appearances list (and possibly the description, if the appearance is of note), and that's that. Most secondary characters, places, and items are like this. On an incomplete list, the template is never removed (unless TBC permanently retire forever and never do another toon or game or whatever ever again). It stays because each further toon expands the list. [[Bad Graphics Ghost]]'s typically stay static until he appears in another toon, but a new or reused [[font]] appears nearly every week. An incomplete article is, by its very nature, never complete. A stub can be expanded only so far before one can say "Okay, we have no more information. Maybe some more will turn up next week, or maybe next year. But until then, this article is complete."
:In short, stubs are temporary, incompletes are pretty much permanent. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 03:41, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

== Spam ==

What should I do if I've found a spammer? Like, mark their userpage or talk page for deletion? {{User:Movie magic man/sig}} 02:38, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
:That'd probably be the best idea, yes. Feel free to also use this userspace to ask me to look into it, if you like. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 03:19, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

== erweenga ==

Why can't it redirect to the toon it's from?
:I deleted it because it was lowercase. I assumed (wrongly) that the capitalised version already redirected somewhere. Sorry about that. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:36, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

== THANKYOU ==

Thank you for deleting the unneeded redirect that I left behind from moving another redirect! I didn't like that there was a double redirect. --{{User:Fangoriously/SIGGY HERE!}} 03:03, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
:No probalo. Double redirects don't matter now, actually; the system handles them automatically. I mainly deleted it for redundancy: the system also [[HRWiki:Autopipe/Autoredirect|automatically redirects lowercase and capitals]] to the same place. You'll notice that the link is still blue, not red, in the deletion log because of this. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 03:53, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Xeriouxly Forxe Character Variations

YK — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 05:48:14 GMT

YK: A bit more.

[[File:HSR Xeriouxly Forxe.png|thumb|250px|"Aw, it's really hard to talk like xhix."]]
On [[April Fools' Day]] 2010, [[The Brothers Chaps]] revamped the main characters for the nineties with bold new looks, pointy elbows, and an [[TVTropes:DarkerAndEdgier|edgier style]] that nobody asked for! The result is the [[Xeriouxly Forxe]]! All of the retooled designs (except Homsar) feature sharp angles, exaggerated shading, black borders, severe expressions, and action poses.

The Legend of Zelda

YK — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 08:02:58 GMT

YK: undid revision 698079; Not really...

[[File:Majora's Moon.png|thumb|300px|"Oh no, the evil [[moon]] is crashing into the earth again!"]]
'''''[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda (series)|The Legend of Zelda]]''''' series of adventure games is usually considered one of the "core titles" for [[Nintendo]] systems (along with [[Mario]]). It is not surprising that the [[Brothers Chaps]] have made lots of references in the [[Homestar Runner body of work]] to these games.

==Appearances==
*[[The House that Gave Sucky Treats]] — When the pumpkin is given to [[The Poopsmith]], the "secret revealed" jingle from the series plays. It particularly comes from ''[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]''.
*Email [[japanese cartoon]] — One of the "NES Endings" that can be seen at the end is from [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda (video game)|the original ''Legend of Zelda'']]. Additionally, the credits for Stinkoman K are taken from that game.
*[[Peasant's Quest]] — The save screen resembles the one from ''The Legend of Zelda''.
**When Rather Dashing gets the Kerrek's belt, he holds it above his head much like Link does with various items.
*[[Stinkoman 20X6]] features several ''Zelda'' references:
**My Benj resembles the Bit enemies in ''[[Wikipedia:Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]''.
**Stlunko is similar to many video game bosses that consist of a mostly inactive head defended by two enormous disembodied hands. Such bosses are popular in the ''Zelda'' series, such as Bongo-Bongo from ''[[Wikipedia: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', Gohdan from ''[[Wikipedia: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', and Mazaal from ''[[Wikipedia: The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]''.
**Saargtsson is very similar in appearance and style to {{p|l=http://www.zeldauniverse.net/content/view/62/46/ Moldorm}} from the ''Zelda'' series.
*[[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]] — [[Homsar]] is dressed as [[Wikipedia:Tingle|Tingle]], a recurring character who debuted in ''[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''. Like the character he is portraying, Homsar throws confetti and is also seen floating on a balloon. Homsar's line spoken here also refers to Tingle's selling of maps.
*[[Why Come Only One Girl?]] — [[The Hurricane]] never appeared because The Brothers Chaps were distracted by a new ''Legend of Zelda'' game. [[Homestar Runner]] responds to this with "Why, [[Wikipedia:Ganondorf|Ganondorf]], why?!", and then captures [[Marzipan]] in a bottle just as [[Wikipedia:Link (Legend of Zelda)|Link]] does with fairies, while singing the "item received" jingle from the series.
**In the [[Why Come Only One Girl?#Commentary Transcript|commentary]], [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] and [[Matt Chapman|Matt]] agree that the Zelda game in question is probably ''The Wind Waker''.
*Email [[the chair]] — A hidden picture reads "nice try dodongo!" [[Wikipedia:Enemies in The Legend of Zelda series#Dodongo|Dodongos]] are dinosaur-like monsters in ''The Legend of Zelda'' series.
*[[Strong Badia The Free]] — The three-headed spider in Country is similar to {{p|l=http://zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Trinexx Trinexx}}, the guardian of Turtle Rock Dungeon in ''A Link To The Past''.
*Email [[unnatural]] ([[unnatural#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]]) — Mike and Matt mention that King Bubsgonzola Supreme's intro closeup and name display are similar to bosses in ''The Legend of Zelda'' series.
**This has occurred in most of the 3D ''Zelda'' titles, including ''Ocarina of Time'', ''Majora's Mask'', ''[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', and the pseudo-3D ''[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]''. The name display, though not the intro movie, was strangely absent in ''Wind Waker.'' The name of each boss (except Ganondorf, who was of course mentioned by name many times before game's end) could only be learned by taking a color picture of the boss and having a sculpture made from the photo.
*[[8-Bit Is Enough]] — Homestar will, at one point, pop up and say "Hey! Listen!" in the same fashion as Navi in ''Ocarina of Time''. The locked door at game's end is also similar to those in ''Ocarina''.
**Near the end of the game, after defeating [[Trogdor]], [[Strong Bad]] dances similarly to the way Link dances in ''Wind Waker'' after defeating a boss.
*[[Compy Catalog]] — The Poopsmith is wearing the uniform and bag of the Postman from ''Majora's Mask'' and ''Twilight Princess,'' though with a picture of The Cheat in place of the rabbit.
*[[Punkin Stencils]] — When the stencil of Devil Homestar is unlocked, the "secret revealed" jingle from the series plays.
*[[Doomy Tales of the Macabre]] — A few ''Zelda'' references are featured:
**[[The Poopsmith]] is dressed as Darunia, from ''Ocarina of Time''.
**Strong Bad is dressed up as the Skull Kid, from ''Majora's Mask'', wearing the titular mask.
**In an Easter egg, Homestar sings "Saria's Song", which prompts the Poopsmith to dance (as Darunia does when he hears Saria's Song).
**In a different Easter egg, Strong Bad makes fun of the moon in Majora's Mask, as [[The Moon|the FCUSA moon]] blinks with a face resembling the one from that game.

YK — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 06:59:36 GMT

YK: /* Revamped/Is there */ My take.

== Revamped For the '90s ==

Is it worth mentioning that a 90s-revamp of "Teen Girl Squad" was also proposed in "Pay Plus"? {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 04:17, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

I mentioned it. [[User:TheLupineOne|TheLupineOne]] 14:16, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:And I reworded it. They aren't the same types of revamps, but the exact quote was still used. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 15:11, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

== Not revamped for the '90s ==

I don't hear "revamped" or anything even remotely like it. I hear a definite long A/short E sound, which fits with "Is there", as I originally transcribed it, and I don't hear the "Re" one used claimed they were sure of. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:27, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:I also hear "is there" unfortunately, as revamped sort of fits better. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 04:29, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
::I never said it didn't fit better. Just that I don't hear it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:30, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

== Transcript ==

Loud music + quiet singer = WIKI EDIT WAR HORROR SHOW.

I propose we do some discussion here of particulars, before we take our edits to the page. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 04:28, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

===Revamped/Is there===
I hear "revamped". It seems to me that there is a distinct "p" sound in there. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 04:28, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:As stated above, I don't hear anything that sounds even remotely similar to "revamped". I hear "Is there". --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:30, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
::I disagree; I think I here a long E/short A sound, the reverse of what Jay says. That would fit "revamped". --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 04:38, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:::Not only does the vowel as I hear it not agree with you, but I also hear a clear "Z" sound before it, and an "R" sound after, as in "Is there". (The "TH" sound being slurred in is normal for English.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:40, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
::::I hear "revamped". Or at least, I hear that a lot more than I do "is there", for largely the same reasons as SMB. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:42, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:::::I hear something in between the V and the Z sounds, X maybe? jk but i'm not sure whether i hear a Z or a V there. i'm leaning towards the Z. as for the vowels, long E as in "Cheat" first and then A as in "Bad", "Mad", or "Sad". if i try to hear "is there", it sounds wrong. i hear the "Re" at the beginning of the word that i mentioned earlier. no idea what comes after that. so putting all this together, let's see...re-zamped? that doesn't mean anything though. i don't think anything fits. that probably means i'm wrong. though if it is a V, revamped works just fine. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 04:53, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
::::After listening to it again about 5 times, i too heard "Revamped" [[User:Spongeboy541|Spongeboy541]] 04:59, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
: I'm listening and listening and listening. On two computers with different speakers. With my nice high-quality headphones. It simply does not sound like "revamped". It has none of the correct sounds. It's two syllables, and that's all the similarity I hear. "Is there", "is there", "is there". It's all I hear! --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:26, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
::To me, it sounds like '''PREPARE''' for the nineties. Which is what I thought it was the first time I heard it this morning. To me, it's definitely not "revamped", and "is there" really makes no freakin' sense! '''''[[user:Kyojikasshu|kyojikasshu]]''''' 01:12, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
:::I have to agree with Kyojikasshu. There is a loud and clear syllable which I can hear and can clarify it sounds like "air". Which leads me to assume the word is '''Prepare'''. --{{User:Record307/sig}} 01:20, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
::::"Prepare" is definitely closer to what I hear, but this is why "is there" is what occurred to me: "Everybody is there for the nineties". Notice that I never put a punctuation mark on the last "Everybody" (and whoever changed it to "revamped" did not think to put it on.) I still hear "is there", but I'd be far more willing to compromise with "prepare". --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:44, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
::::And now that it's been pointed out to me, I can force myself to hear "prepare". I simply cannot force myself to hear "revamped". So, yeah, I'm not complaining if that's where the consensus goes. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:49, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
:::::You're not alone, Jay. I hear "is there", as well. I suppose it could be "prepare", but I didn't hear any "P" sound. And in no way, shape, or form can I hear "revamped". -{{User:YK/sig}} 06:59, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
I actually hear "Revamp" instead of Revamped. Not prepare, Revamp.--[[Special:Contributions/70.176.220.156|70.176.220.156]] 17:32, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

===Edgy and angry ???===
I hear "edgy and angry ? deadly and dangly," but that's a wild stab. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 04:28, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
: Upon listening again, I agree with this (er, "jangly", which is what was added to the page; I didn't notice you said "dangly"). --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:30, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:: I hear "Edgy and angry, so zesty and tangy". [[Special:Contributions/96.227.116.129|96.227.116.129]] 03:49, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

===? new demographics===
I hear "with new demographics," but that sort of "oomph" the singer put in there kind of makes almost any word seem reasonable. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 04:28, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
: Remember, demographics are the WATCHERS, not the CONTENT... I think "There's" is the best option, but not sure. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:30, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

== With and without "www" ==

Is it worth mentioning that for a while www.homestarrunner.com showed this whereas homestarrunner.com was still the [[Index Page]]?
:It's possible that you were looking at a cached version of the sans-www page for a while. It's unlikely that the two pages would differ. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 04:49, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:No. Cause it shows it with and with www on my end. [[User:Spongeboy541|Spongeboy541]] 04:50, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
::Yes, *now* it does. That's why I said "for a while".

== Visuals ==

Are the visuals gonna be added? [[User:RickTommy|RickTommy]] [[User talk:RickTommy|talk]] [[Image:slang.PNG|50px]] 05:34, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:Most likely, someone will eventually create a separate page, per our standards. Unrelatedly, do you have a colon before the template name of your signature in your preferences? Your entire signature is being copied into the talk page, instead of just the standard template. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 05:45, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

== SWF (for mirror) ==

I xaved the XWF for when thix getx taken down bij the Brotherx Chapx. {{User:Dagoth/sig}} 07:01, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:Me too, but I bet they link to it somewhere. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 07:08, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

== Not working ==

It's not playing for me. Flash file is, but when i go to www.homestarrunner.com, it doesn't work... {{unsigned|Open Source Greg|08:36, 1 April 2010 (UTC)}}

== Screengrabs ==

Can someone get screengrabs of the 12 HSR Xeriouxly Forxe characters (inc. Still Homsar) for a Xeriouxly Forxe Characters page?
:Seems like a good [[Minor Character Variations]]. I'll get to work on it. {{User:StrongAwesome74/sig}} 14:48, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
::Or.....maybe i won't. For some reason, I can't create new pages, including uploading files. Though I have no idea why, it's probably because it's April Fools Day and they don't want people making nonsense pages. Just a guess. {{User:StrongAwesome74/sig}} 15:02, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:::[[Stylized Characters]] would be more appropriate (and just a single grab is necessary!) {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 15:27, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

==No one likes Still Homsar==
At the end, when H. Star and S. Bad are talking, I don't see Still Homsar. Is that worth noting? [[User:Spongeboy541|Spongeboy541]] 14:51, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:He's right in the bottom-right corner, just slightly peeking out. {{User:StrongAwesome74/sig}} 14:55, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Yes, hiding behind Pom. [[User:TheLupineOne|TheLupineOne]] 15:39, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:Ok, i saw him after watching it again. [[User:Spongeboy541|Spongeboy541]] 16:16, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

==Ganon==

S. Sad looks like Ganon. [[User:StarFox|StarFox]] 15:24, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:No, not really. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 15:31, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

::This is Ganon.

http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/zelda/de/images/5/53/Ganon_tp.jpg

::[[User:StarFox|StarFox]] 15:36, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:::Yes, thank you. He doesn't look like that, just a stylized elephant. Further, this is making fun of the early 90s and that's beast ganon, from twilight princess, which came out around 16 years too late for that. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 15:40, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
::::I also think S. Sad resembles an ''A Link to the Past'' character, [http://zs.ffshrine.org/link-to-the-past/sprites.php sorta kinda], although not Ganon. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:37, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:::::May I ask which one? Closest I see is the Armos Knight. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:42, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
::::::I was thinking more this guy: http://zs.ffshrine.org/album/link-to-the-past/sprites/Hylian2.gif But I admit the resemblance isn't as strong as it was in my memory before I looked it up. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:50, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

== 90s ==

How can it be "revamped for the 90s" when the animation used has only been popular since 2000? [[User:StarFox|StarFox]] 15:52, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
: I think you're taking it a mite seriously. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:42, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:: Considering TBC's obsession with 80s references, what can we say? '''''[[user:Kyojikasshu|kyojikasshu]]''''' 01:15, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
::: Exactly; 2000-2009=1980-1989, so 2010=1990. ...But I still can't find x. Where did I put it...? --[[User:Raddaluigi|Raddaluigi]] 22:06, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

== Two references ==

Two things this April Fool's Prank lampoons are the mid-2000s cartoon Loonatics Unleashed, which took beloved Looney Toons characters and "edged them up" in a similar fashion. However these kind of "hardcore" re-imaginings can lay the blame at mid-90s cartoons and comic books, which is why there's so many X's in the title. (X-men, X-Force, Weapon X, Megaman X, etc.) (New Guy)
: Exactly why I keep shooting down all the Loonatics references. While, yes, they did do this, they were neither the only nor the first, and given the nineties references and all the X's, it's not even the best fit. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:49, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
::I did have a general explanation of the parody, but it was removed by IDC because it "explained the joke". {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 20:47, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:::"Revamped for the nineties! So much more exciting! New demographics when nobody asked for it!" What do we need to explain? It's all there in the lyrics. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:04, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
::::I think you should at least make reference to it in the Fun Facts... at least? -[[User:Mitchell00|Mitchell00]] 01:41, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
:::::I {{p|l={{fullurl:Xeriouxly Forxe|diff=prev&oldid=697888}} still don't think}} this needs explaining, although I admit it's a little better with the addition of the link to TV Tropes. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 12:27, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
::::::If there's somewhere else to hang the link, I wouldn't mind it being removed. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 12:32, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

== Always goes to Main Page 21 ==

Every time I've watched this toon, it's gone to Main Page 21: Many Green Lines! Is this worth mentioning? Other toons have done this too, like the halloween toons that link to Main Page 7: Dead as a doornail! [[http://www.hrwiki.org/wiki/Main_Page_7]]
:It's already mentioned in the transript. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 04:03, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
::Is this Main Page of any signifigance to April Fools' Day? It seems odd that they'd do this without a reason.--[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] [[User talk:Jellote|wuz]] [[Special:Contributions/Jellote|here]] 20:10, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
:::It's because of the 90s... I guess.

== the homestarrunner.com homepage no longer shows this. ==

It changed back to normal around 4:30 PM AEDST.
:i've still got it -[[User:The Knights Who Say Ni|TKWSN]] 05:46, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
::It just went away a second ago for me. {{User:Shine Sprite/sig}} 05:49, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
:::okay, i just lost it. when i hit the refresh button. -[[User:The Knights Who Say Ni|TKWSN]] 05:51, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

== Watch link ==

The "watch" link above the screenshot currently goes to homestarrunner.com, but the toon has been moved to http://www.homestarrunner.com/aprilfool10.html [[Special:Contributions/66.51.249.18|66.51.249.18]] 17:01, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
:That's already been fixed. Just before you posted, actually. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:06, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

==666==

I can't see any relation between the framerate and the Number of the Beast. [[User:StarFox|StarFox]] 18:05, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
:Not framerate. Number of frames. The toon has exactly 666 frames in it, extended from 645 for apparently no reason. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:19, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
::My mistake. I'm just wondering why the number of frames has to do with Satan. [[User:StarFox|StarFox]] 03:26, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
:::The toon appears to have been intentionally lengthened to have that many frames. The viewer is redirected to main page 21 around frame 649, if I remember correctly. [[Special:Contributions/66.51.249.18|66.51.249.18]] 04:18, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
::::In the Book of Revelation in the Bible, the devil's number (or rather, the beast's number) is said to be 666. No one is sure what this means, though. {{User:Shine Sprite/sig}} 04:26, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

==Widescreen==

Is it worth mentioning that when the screen changes to the new 90s thing, it goes into widescreen? Answer in full and complete answernteces...-ers.
:Yes. In the transcript if not elsewhere. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:28, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

== Variations? ==

Should we have a page for the variations that appear in this toon, like for Halloween Toons or [[different town]]. Seeing how everyone has a variation, the page could work. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] [[User talk:Jellote|wuz]] [[Special:Contributions/Jellote|here]] 01:18, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
:[[Xeriouxly Forxe Character Variations|We have one]] in the process of being created. I don't know how anyone would be able to find it, however, seeing as there is no link to that article from [[Xeriouxly Forxe]]'s article. I had better find a good place to put a link. {{User:Shine Sprite/sig}} 01:25, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

HRWiki:April Fools' Jokes and Other Baleeted Nonsense

YK — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 00:59:18 GMT

YK: Adding what I did, minor though it was. Also, I can't get the old version link to work right, so...

<center>''This article is a parody of [[Wikipedia:WP:BJAODN|WP:BJAODN]]. May it rest in peace.''</center>
{{shortcut|AFJAOBN|AF}}

For the last few years, many changes have been made to the wiki on [[Wikipedia:April Fools' Day|April Fools' Day]]. This page hopes to document the changes throughout the years. For 2006, there's the obvious WikkiTikkiTavi styling, and the [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:April_Fools%27_2006_Main_Page&useskin=tavistyle redesigned Main Page], on 2007 CAPTCHA for everybody (sysops too) and the fake message saying the wiki had been shut down, for 2008 the jumbled text on all the pages, and for 2009 the Homestar Runner-related ads. But what about the rest of the hi-larious pranks that happened? This page hopes to document them as well.


==April Fools' 2006==
===Main===
*[[Main Page]] changed to [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:April_Fools%27_2006_Main_Page&useskin=tavistyle WikkiTikkiTavi Main Page].
*Monobook skin changed to tavistyle. As a ''side effect'' of the changes that were made, the other skins in the list stopped functioning correctly.
*[[HRWiki:Main_Page_Talk_Archive_11#WikkiTikkiTavi|Mass public outcry]]
*[[HRWiki:A History]] [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:A_History&oldid=299099#Back_to_WikkiTikkiTavi modified] to reflect the downgrade
*There was sufficient demand ''after'' April 1 that the TaviStyle skin was made a permanent choice in the user [[Special:Preferences|preferences]]. As of April 2, 2008, 43 users have the option selected in their preferences, about a third of whom have visited the wiki within the last year.

====Related====
*[[HRFWiki:|Fanstuff Wiki]] put up a fake "You have new messages" banner on the main page. All of the tab titles were changed. Users who wished to complain were directed to [[Special:Mytalk|their own talk page]]. The sidebar and some of the other messages were also modified.

==April Fools' 2007==
===Main===
*The [[Wikipedia:CAPTCHA|CAPTCHA]] was replaced with one showing {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/kb/CAPTCHA-homestar.png Homestar Runner-related words}} (and the occasional "April Fools" message). It was also made to show up for all edits, sysops included, instead of just for anonymous users and page moves.
*[[Main Page]] changed to a {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/kb/afd07.html message}} stating that "The Homestar Runner Wiki has been shut down."

Please help us make sure that never happens."
*Partway through the day, any attempt to edit your sig came up with the following message:

==April Fools' 2008==
===Main===
[[Image:Main Page Apr1 2008.png|thumb|the How [[Main Page|Page Main]] on Fools' 2008. Day looked April]]
* Every page on the website, except Special pages, [[Special:Scramble|scrambled]] the words within each block of text, so that something like the following:
:: ''I'm The Homestar Runner! Some folk say I'm a terrific athlete.''
: Might appear instead as:
:: ''Some Homestar I'm say Runner! terrific a folk I'm athlete. The''
*The logo was {{p|l=http://hrwiki.org/skins/common/images/wiki-apr1.gif changed}} to show Homestar's torso instead of head, and the words "Wiki" and "Homestar Runner" were switched top to bottom. (Homestar still blinked as he [[Homestar Peeking|peeked]] over the word "Wiki".)
*This effect can be seen via [[Special:Scramble]]. For example, [[Special:Scramble/virus]].

===Main===
*There were [[HRWiki:April Fools' 2009 Ads|ads for Homestar Runner products]] at the top of each page with the note "Ads by [[Bookazon]]".
*The font color of all of the text on the forum was changed to match the background (in most cases white) to make everything invisible. The text could only be read by highlighting it. Homestar kept his eyes shut and just [[Homestar Peeking|peeked]] occasionally.
*A message was posted on the fanstuff wiki saying that due to lack of funds, it would never be reopened.

===Users===

**{{p|l={{fullurl:User:Jay/sig|oldid=639833}} Changed his sig}} to randomly display a different user name, all but one of which were parodies of other users on the wiki. They were all designed to look like a plain blue link, but only one of them linked anywhere: the "no loafing" in "Hamster Loafer... I said [[no loafing]]!!!".

==April Fools' 2010==
===Main===
<div style="float:right; margin:1em 0 0 2em">http://www.hrwiki.org/w/skins/common/images/wiki-dumb.gif</div>
*The wiki's official name was changed to the '''[[Glossary#D|Dumb Animal Characters]] Wiki''', with the {{p|l=http://hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&oldid=697126 main page}} and logo edited to reflect the change.
*If you tried to change your signature, the system would automatically change it instead to a random nickname from the list below, which came from one of the [[Strong Bad Emails]] or the [[Nicknames]] page (bold entries were chosen by the system at some point during the day):
:<blockquote style="font-size:smaller">Baron von Flexmypecs, Clever Dan, Cornbread, Crapface, '''Dead Guy Perez''', DJ Dumpy Dump, Doodieman, Dumbname, Dumpface, Dumpus, Elizagerth, Genghis Khan't, Helvetica, '''Meatball Face Butt''', Miss America, '''Miss July''', Mr. Nobody, '''Mr. Prancy-time''', Mr. Smarty-Spots, Ol' Bone Legged, Ol' Butt Patterson, Ol' Dumps, '''Prancibald''', '''Rondleman''', Rotting-Dragonsmith, Sir Dumpenheimer, Strong Mad's Girlfriend, That Freakin' Marshmallow, That Stupid Wheelchair Kid, '''The Dapper Swindler''', The Elephant Man, The Human Grate-On-My-Nerves, '''The Human Wedgie''', '''The King of the Dregs''', The Over-Achiever Bandit, The Queen of Pay-Per-View, '''This Little Weirdo''', '''Valerie''', '''Weird Snake Joe''', '''Wiggidy-wiener''', '''Worldwide Starlet'''</blockquote>
*Signatures were in the form: [[Special:Mypage|Clever Dan]] ([[Special:Mytalk|Talk]]). The colors were chosen at random from a list that included [[Fortune Cookies#Right cookie|yellow]] and white.
*If you tried to change your signature a second time, you were presented with a fake edit conflict preventing it. (This was for system performance reasons more than to be funny, so that ideally each signature template would not be edited more than once during the day.)
*If you tried to change your preferences would result in a message of "Meh, your preferences are probably fine and you shouldn't change them" to prevent you from pointing to a different signature page in your preferences.
*Everyone except developers lost the rights to create pages or move subpages, to avoid the creation of alternate signature pages. (This had the side effect of preventing uploads.)
<div style="float:right; margin-left:2em">http://forum.hrwiki.org/styles/subsilver2/imageset/site_logo_apr1_2010.gif</div>
*The forum was changed to the H. Star Forum: A companion to the Dumb Animal Characters Wiki. Names and descriptions of the various subforums were tweaked, and [[Xeriouxly Forxe Character Variations#H. Star|H. Star]] was shown as seen in [[Xeriouxly Forxe]].

===Users===
*[[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]]
**Inspired by the sight of his signature automatically becoming "Worldwide Starlet," {{p|l={{fullurl:User:Bad_Bad_Guy|oldid=697311}} revised User Page intro}} to include Valspeak.
*[[User:Jay]]
**Changed user page to a false [[Strong Bad Email]] transcript called [http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=User:Jay&oldid=697274 "election day]. Most of the links on the "election day" page were misleading (for instance, "Strong Bad" in the cast list led to "Strong Mad", and a Wikipedia link reading "G.I. Joe" instead linked to "Kim Possible".) For reference, "election day" was previously written as a failed attempt at an April Fools Day gag in 2007.
*[[User:Shine Sprite|Shine Sprite]]
**{{p|l={{fullurl:User:Shine Sprite|oldid=697043}} Replaced every character on his user page}} with a "?", to make it appear as though he was using a font that the user viewing did not have installed on his computer.
*[[User:Religious Corn|Religious Corn]]
**Changed all character quotes {{p|l={{fullurl:User:Religious_Corn&oldid=697370}} to Homsar quotes}}.
*[[User:RickTommy|RickTommy]]
**Changed userpage into [[French]] ([http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=User:RickTommy&diff=prev&oldid=697028]), and also added the first line that each main character said ([http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=User:RickTommy&diff=prev&oldid=697194]).
*[[User:That'sBupkis|That'sBupkis]]
**All userpage content turned into MediaWiki Syntax, and signature linked to random page.
*[[User:The thing|The thing]]
**Made userpage say that he was "EXTRAPERMANENTLY BLOCKED." {{p|l={{fullurl:User:The_thing|oldid=697278}} See here}}.
**{{p|l={{fullurl:User:The_thing/sig|oldid=697049}} Attempted}} to change sig to "Barack Obama" but it was automatically changed.
* [[User:Dagoth|Dagoth]]
** [http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=User:Dagoth&oldid=697080 Replaced] his user page with a part of the transcript of the movie [[Wikipedia:Pi (film)|Pi]], a jiant [[Wikipedia:Postal 2|POSTAL2]] poster, and the words "Hey, [[Wikipedia:Maryse Ouellet|Maryse!]] Where ya been all my life?".
** [http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Dagoth&oldid=697271 Replaced] all instances of the letter Y with the Dutch letter [[Wikipedia:IJ (digraph)|IJ]] on his talk page.
** [http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=User:Dagoth/sig&oldid=697270 Replaced] his sig with a jiant POSTAL2 logo. He tried to fix it at one point, but it turned into the Miss July one, which required intervention from [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]].
*[[User:ColdReactive|ColdReactive]]
** Complete Overhaul of Userpage, [[User:ColdReactive/sig|signature]], [[User:ColdReactive/nav|navigation]] and abandoned a [http://hrwiki.org/wiki/File:WhiteKnightHomestar.JPG personal image] purposely for the holiday. The theme used for this was based on a popular Bullet Hell game called Touhou as indicated by an image provided on the page.
*[[User:StrongAwesome74|StrongAwesome74]]
**{{p|l={{fullurl:User:StrongAwesome74/sig&diff=697027&oldid=694367}} Attempted}} to break sig so all following text would appear white, but failed.
*[[User:YK|YK]]
**Replaced his userpage with the entirety of the [[Cheese]] page.

User:YK

YK — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 06:50:44 GMT

YK: undid revision 697378; Joke's over.

Me.

Hm... Let's see...

I'm YK. Short for "YelseyKing". Without getting into any real specifics, "Yelsey" is a town I created for a story I wrote a loooong time ago, and it's become a mainstay in all my recent works. Note that I'm not its "king". I was *supposed* to be "YelseyKnight", but when I first started using this screen name, it was on an old version of AOL, which limited names to 10 letters, so I improvised. =P At any rate, "YK" gets less questions, so I've been going with that handle lately.

Ok, that was long, droning, and not terribly interesting. Forgive me. I tend to ramble like that.

Well... Hm. I guess I've been around a while. Where to begin...

Ok, well, I love video games, first and foremost. Particularly RPGs, but I'll play almost anything. Emphasis on "almost". In fact, I used to write FAQs/Walkthroughs for video games, but I quit that scene long ago when I was getting swamped with e-mail, most of which asked questions I *thought* I made the answers to abundantly clear... *sigh*
I also enjoy making video games, albeit with the somewhat simplistic (though very easy to use) RPG Maker 2000, and the game I'm currently working on has been in development since 2001. The problem? It hasn't, uh, progressed very much since then. Believe me, I try. Good help is so hard to find. =P

I *do* have a playable demo of a side-game I'm working on (also in RM2K) with a series of friends called "[http://www.celestialbridge.net/fogel/Frontiers%20Extreme%20Demo%202.rar Frontiers Extreme]". It's basically a [[montage]] of various projects, completed and otherwise, we've done over the years. Kind of a tribute to the decade or so of friendship we've shared, but it's well-made, and general enough to be enjoyed by anyone. It's gotten overall good reviews. If anyone is interested, click the link above.

I also particularly love video game music; I have a huge collection of songs in all sorts of formats, and I'm a staff member/admin of (and [http://snesmusic.org/v2/profile.php?profile=dumper&selected=2 serious contributor to]) [http://snesmusic.org/v2/ SNESMusic.org], which is dedicated to SPCs, a file format for Super Nintendo music.

I'm also a baseball fanatic. (This doesn't, mind you, correlate with my love of video games... baseball video games tend to be... well, quite lousy, IMO. Meh.) My personal favorite team is the [http://diamondbacks.mlb.com/ Arizona Diamondbacks], but I like pretty much all the teams. Except the Yankees. Nobody likes the Yankees. Except New Yorkers. Ok, let's skip that part, actually.

And, heh, I like Homestar Runner, or else...well...I wouldn't *be* here. =P

I was introduced to H*R sometime back in 2004. A friend of mine was really into it, and decided to send me the flash files of a few Strong Bad E-Mails, the first of which was [[video games]], not too surprisingly. He later sent me two others ([[english paper]] and [[kids' book]]) seemingly chosen at random. But I loved them. I watched them several times, and eventually, my friend sent me a zip of every flash file on the site at the time (he saved them in about mid-2003). Then I went to the site. Then I found this Wiki (thanks to that same friend, actually, heh).

I'm also the one who [[HRWiki:Main_Page_Talk_Archive_11#A Confession|nearly screwed up the 2006 April Fools prank]]. Not one of my proudest moments, but it got me my 15 seconds of fame, I s'pose. =P

And... um. I guess that's it. Yeah, this page kinda stinks. Maybe I should, like, throw in a picture or two. Or maybe link to some places. I dunno. I'm like, really, really bad at this sorta thing. Not like anyone cares who I am or anything, right? I mainly made this page so it'd look less...uh...empty. Since I've been here for a while, I feel a bit more comfortable sharing... "me", if you will.

{{Main Page Talk}}

== Lobbying for a page. ==

We have a page for the [[Compy Inc.]] corporation. Why not Tandy? They made the [[Tandy 400]], the [[Tangerine Dreams]], the [[Monosodium Dreams]] and allgedgedly the "computer" from [[the facts]]. There may be more, I don't know off the top of my head. Anyway, they have made 3, 4 computers. Compy made 3 also, or 5 if you count the Grampy and the Roomivac. I say we make one. I would, but my thrill for H*R is low ever since the recent baby-break, and I'm not in the mood for dissapointment. So, before we make it, shall we decide if this page is needed BEFORE it is made? This would save trouble and probably boost morale.--[[User:Jellote|Jellote wuz here]] 23:09, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
: The catch is that we don't know what the Tandy's company is called. (Strictly speaking, we don't know that Compy, Inc.'s name is Compy, Inc., AFAIK, but we know it's Compy, at least.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:36, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
:: In case it's been forgotten, Tandy was the actual computer company that made the TRS-80 computer, sold by Radio Shack back in the 1980s/90s. I know because I had one -- horribly primitive by today's standards, but a good starter computer for early users. See the Wikipedia article on "Tandy Corporation" for more on this.

== New Index page! ==

I feel this deserves a mention. TBC have updated the original "Watch Intro/Come on in" page with Homestar smiling and an extra "Shop our Store" Option.

:It's already been noted for a while.--{{User:Record307/sig}} 14:49, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

The homestar fanstuff wiki is here, but i can't find my user! Can a mod PM me a message so i can get to login? - [[User:POM Z|POM Z]] 00:07, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
:Your fanstuff login is the same as the one here. They are no longer separate. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:35, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

== Fanstuff Wiki's return ==

I think that we should have some header of other message on the KB informing users of the return of the HRFWiki, since many people have probably stopped checking for it's return by now. (I mentioned this idea earlier as an anonymous editor.) {{User:Shine Sprite/sig}} 02:59, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

== Dangeresque ==

Why do the transcripts of the Dangeresque toons refer to the characters as their real names instead of their Dangeresque names? [[User:RickTommy|RickTommy]] 07:56, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

== Talkheader like Wikipedia? ==

We should have a talkheader template [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Talkheader like wikipedia] so that it's the first thing people see on the page, which will give them insight to what to do, and to sign posts, and other useful information/links. How about that? {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 14:48, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
:I don't think that's really necessary. Our users tend to be more wiki-savvy than the average WP user. (Note that we do have the {{t|talk}} template for an unrelated issue.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:14, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

== Wiki continuance ==

Once H*R gets cancelled, will our Wiki have to go down with it? [[User:RickTommy|RickTommy]] 10:18, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
:Who said it was gonna get cancelled? If it ever does, I'm sure TBC will leave the site up. No the wiki is not "going down with it". This is a knowledge base, so if TBC stops making toons, we still have work to do.--{{User:Record307/sig}} 15:40, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

:I concur. The page can grow extremely quickly, especially after a new toon. I say it is time to clear the page. The page is already lag-creating for slower computers. I think is time to archive it.--[[User:Jellote|Jellote wuz here]] 16:28, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

== How to pronounce? ==

How do you pronounce the wiki's name? Is it H '''R''' Wiki, '''Her'''-wiki, '''Hra'''-wiki? I've always wondered. Does it really matter either way?--[[User:Jellote|Jellote wuz here]] 16:30, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
:I pronounce it "Homestar Runner Wiki". Interestingly, the Chaps call Homestar Runner (the body of work, not the character) just Homestar, and so they call us the Homestar Wiki. To answer the question you actually asked, I'd say the first two letters separately if I had to pronounce the domain name. And of course it matters. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:11, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
::I call it Aitch-Ar-Wiki with people who know about it (or my obsession with it...), and Homestar Wiki with people who know what Homestar is, but not about this site. To complete strangers I just say I'm in a fan-site for a web cartoon :P. {{User:Elcool/sig}} 20:32, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

== PlayStation Article? ==

Just wondering if there is enough refs to SONY or PlayStation to make a SONY/PlayStation article. If so, I can go search for an image that you can use for it. (*cough* I'm just trying to get around the limits on how many images I can have, lol.) {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 17:08, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
:Then do what we usually do - Dig up references, make an article, format, categorize, upload, etc.. See if it holds up. {{User:Elcool/sig}} 06:38, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
::Then I'm out then. I'm no good at making articles stay. Tried it with OvBB on Wikipedia.org, it got deleted because the software was abandoned. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 08:32, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

== Edit shortage ==

Lately, mostly because of the lack of updates, this Wiki has become a wasteland. For the past couple of days, there have been less than 50 edits a day. What can we do to get more edits? [[User:RickTommy|RickTommy]] 21:37, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
:Nothing. Nor is there any *reason* do. Homestar Runner has been in a lull for the last few months, and without any significant new site content, there's very little we *can* do that we aren't doing already. -{{User:YK/sig}} 22:01, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
::As for wiki edits, there's no reason whatsoever why there needs to be a high edit count. We're not AIMING for more edits. Edits are not and end in and of themselves, but a by-product of us documenting the homestar universe. If there's nothing to document, there's no reason to edit. The alternative is creating an abundance of unnecessary pages such as [[Flashlights]] for the sole sake of making edits. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 22:23, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
:::Moreover, if there's one thing we *could* be doing in such lulls, it's reaching consensus on the dozen or so pages pending deletion, many of which have been untouched in months, and deciding as a community just what makes a good page. (For instance, do we *really* need dozens of pages that do nothing but list every single time a common item pops up in a toon, often without even mentioning *where* in the toon it *appears*, what it's used *for*, and *why* it's even worth mentioning, period? But that's another issue entirely.) -{{User:YK/sig}} 01:21, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
::::YK is right. When there are a lot of updates I can understand how some discussions take longer because everyone is busy with new pages, updating articles, transcribing and such. What we SHOULD be doing is discussing [[:Category:Articles for Discussion|TBD articles]]. I half blame the management for that (and I'm part of that management) for no encouraging more wiki activity. We can repeat "baby break" 'till we're blue in the face, but ''there are'' things to do on the wiki. I really '''''really''''' wish I had more time on my hands to do more substantial edits these days, but college is really my top-most priority these days (And people know that when I get a break I go over all the maintenance stuff and clean what I can).
::::What I '''propose''' is putting a message on the main page, or the recent change, asking people to give their opinions of ongoing discussions. That will help us reach consensus on old pages and will create interest and activity in the wiki. {{User:Elcool/sig}} 08:31, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

:Not officially, though you may find something on youtube or something. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 09:38, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

== Autocomplete and spell check ==

Is there a way to implement Wikipedia's search features? Like autocompleting possible search results while you type, and suggesting correct spelling if you misspelled your search term? If so, do we plan to make an update with those features? {{User:Elcool/sig}} 22:49, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
:I think our wiki's too small to make that thing necessary. Also, I personally just hate that autocomplete feature, but that's not really here nor there. Make sure there's a way to surpress it if you do, though. Ugh. I like my dropdown just fine. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 03:59, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

::::Firefox can spell check text boxes too, and not just textareas. Though, for non-english words and portmanteaus, this would be a problem. If you want to expand firefox to all fields, change '''layout.spellcheckDefault''' to 2 in about:config.

==Block list==
I've noticed that the [[Special:Blocklist|block list]] is the same at the Fanstuff Wiki. Is this intentional? [[User:RickTommy|RickTommy]] [[User talk:RickTommy|talk]] [[Image:slang.PNG|50px]] 23:02, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

== Speculation? ==
I commented on a discussion and someone said that my thing was "just speculation". Is there a definition on this wiki for "speculation"? I'm confused with the whole thing... [[User:doctorwho295|doctorwho295]] 22 March 2010
:Speculation has to do with looking into things with no factual basis; talking about what things ''could be'' instead of what things ''are''. This wiki doesn't document speculation because it cannot be proven true. However, we do have a [http://forum.hrwiki.org/ forum] for open discussion where speculation is welcome. You have to create a separate account over there. as for [http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Sick_Day&diff=next&oldid=696377 the discussion in question], there is no way to prove what kind of disease any of them have, and any guesses as to what disease it could be can't be proven true. hope this helps {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 18:52, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

I just wanted to add something. Do you think we should do a page on speculation for all the users? Just looking at numerous discussions, I noticed that about 15% of them were speculation. Is that a big enough issue to address? Should we wait and see if there is more? [[User:doctorwho295|doctorwho295]] 30 March 2010

:Think about that idea - Would you have liked to read an encyclopedia with speculation? Say you read about some president, and at the end of the article someone speculates that he thinks the president did some nasty things but doesn't give any evidence. That's not a very good encyclopedia, if you ask me. Any knowledge you gain becomes immediately questionable.
:But since we know that people in their nature ''like'' to read about others' opinions, the set up The Forum so you can speculate, talk, discuss, jibber, jabber, and say what you want about Homestar. {{User:Elcool/sig}} 04:58, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Okay, at first I only saw that the wiki's name had changed in the page title, and I was thinking, "Most. Subtle. April Fools' joke. Ever."

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Mike, what did you do this time?!

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' So, I made this in a hotel room in New York, um by myself at, like, three in the morning. Um, we were speaking at NYU the next day and I just wanted to make something. ''{snickers}'' And so I had to use old audio.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Look at the Lincoln heads behind them. I never noticed that before, I don't think.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' This... so those characters, the drawings, were... um, for an Exaggeration that never got made.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' That's true.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' So I just had those drawings laying around.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ''{imitating Homestar from one [[Exaggeration]]}'' These are some, these are some, these are some!

Math Kickers

YK — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 03:26:29 GMT

YK: undid revision 695877; It's been several hours since you put this here, and you've given no reason *why*. It looks fine to me.

[[Image:MathKickers.png|thumb|left|When are video games gonna learn; you can't learn from video games!]]

{{no-image|missing title card}}
'''Math Kickers featuring the Algebros''' is a mini-game from [[Videlectrix]] from ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]]'s'' [[Strong Badia The Free]]. The cover art for the fictional box of the game features two martial arts fighters in a city-themed background, a kid smiling in the foreground, and another martial arts fighter over a quadratic formula in the sky.

In the game, you play as two fighters, Dex and Ryu, facing back to back. Dex subtracts and Ryu will add, and the goal is to fight Ninjas and attack number bosses.

A score of 2000 is required for your Awesomeness rank.

:S: Start the Game
:Q: Quit the Game
:Spacebar: Pause the Game
</autocolumn>
</table>

==How To Play==
Dex's attacks subtract ninjas from his side. Ryu's Energy Ball Attack adds ninjas to his side. The idea is to restore the balance.

Example:
:3 Ninjas on Left, 1 Ninja on Right: 3 ≠ 1
:Dex subtracts one Ninja from his side: 3 - 1 ≠ 1
:Ryu adds one Ninja to his side: 3 - 1 = 1 + 1

When the Balance is restored, all the Ninjas will disappear, and Dex and Ryu can move on.

After several waves of Ninjas, Dex and Ryu will split up for a boss battle against a [[Wikipedia:quadratic equation|quadratic equation]]. Attack the quadratic equation up on the sidewalk, then, run down to the street when it rises up to slam down into the ground.

As you level up, the going gets tougher, as the Ninjas and Bosses get stronger.

You start the game with 6 "Bros" and lose a Bro every time Dex or Ryu take damage from the ninjas, who throw mathematical operators at you, or if you get crushed by the boss. When all your bros are gone, your game is over.

==Fun Facts==

===Goofs===
[[Image:Uber-Pope.png|thumb|Uber-Pope]]
*Math Kickers has a bug in it that causes a secret rank to occur ([]ber/Uber-Pope) See [http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6585 here].
*If the player uses Polar Coordinates while a ninja is being added from Ryu's attack, Polar Coordinates will destroy all but one of the ninjas on Dex's side, and all but one of the ninjas ''not including the one being added'' on Ryu's side. The result is one ninja on Dex'ss side but two on Ryu's side. The game will automatically reduce the player's "Bro" count to zero as the screen is now unsolvable without special moves.

===Glitches===
*Math Kickers has a bug that occurs frequently in the game, where it will stop responding to directional buttons and attacks, only allowing you to pause or quit the game.
**When this happens, quit out of the current game (on Math Kickers) and quit out of the Fun Machine to go back to Strong Bad's room. Restart the game, and it should work (for now).
*PC version only: Pausing the game and entering the command for Polar Coordinates will cause Polar Coordinates to be performed as soon as the game is unpaused. Since enemy attacks are frozen while paused, and Dex and Ryu are invincible when performing Polar Coordinates, this essentially allows the player to get an infinite amount of points.
*Sometimes, when playing the Polar Coordinates attack, the Polar Coordinates attack logo will appear and Strong Bad will say "Polar Coordinates!..." but the ninjas will not freeze and remain the same.
**Also, when playing the Polar Coordinates attack, ninjas will disappear to leave one per side, but they will not cancel. You will need to play the Polar Coordinates attack again to get rid of them.

===Real-World References===
*The game strongly resembles ''[[Wikipedia:Double Dragon (video game)|Double Dragon]]'' for [[Nintendo]].
*The name "Ryu" is likely a reference to [[Street Fighter]].

Trogdor

YK: undid revision 693181; That's a sighting. And everything else was better before.

{{aboutcharacter}} {{for-nothe|other uses|Trogdor (disambiguation)}}

[[Image:A dragon.PNG|thumb|200px|"And the Trogdor comes in the NIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!!!"]]
'''Trogdor the Burninator''' is an S-shaped wing-a-ling [[Dragons|dragon]] with a [[beefy arm]] that originated in the email [[dragon]]. Trogdor [[Glossary#B|burninates]] the countryside, peasants, and [[Thatched-Roof Cottage|thatched-roof cottages]] of [[Peasantry]]. He sprung from the wild imagination of [[Strong Bad]] when he was asked to show his "skills of an artist."

Trogdor quickly became more popular than [[The Brothers Chaps]] ever could have imagined, developing into one of the most recognizable figures from the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work, both on the Internet and in the real world. According to the [[Giant Magazine Interview]], the Trogdor shirt sold in the [[store]] is the best-selling item there, even more than the [[strongbad_email.exe]] DVD. Fans even dress up as the character as seen in [[Fan Costume Commentary]] and [[More Fan Costumes]], and created some interesting [[Weekly Fanstuff|fanstuff]]. In September 2006, the [[store]] began selling a [[Store Baby Clothes|line of baby clothing]] bearing a more child-friendly image of Trogdor that sold out one day later.

In his debut [[Strong Bad Email|email]], there is a heavy metal song about Trogdor with a music video drawn in pencil. According to [[dragon#Commentary Transcript|dragon's commentary]], there originally wasn't supposed to be a song in the email, but after [[Matt Chapman|Matt]] started singing it off the top of his head while making eggs, The Brothers Chaps knew they had to put it in the email. The [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]] contains an [[Trogdor (song)|extended version]] of the song. The song is also [[Trogdor (karaoke)|featured]] in [[KaraokeFun]] on the [[strongbad_email.exe Disc Two|DVD]]. [[Homestar Runner]] is the singer and gets a score of 84 out of 100.

In November 2006, the extended version of the Trogdor song made an appearance as a bonus song in the PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360 game [[Guitar Hero|Guitar Hero II]].

The goal of the [[Stand up arcade games|arcade]] game found in the [[Basement of the Brothers Strong]] (called [[TROGDOR!]]) is to squish enough peasants required to achieve burnination, while at the same time avoiding [[The Red and Blue Knights]] and the Siamese archers. The player controls the anti-hero Trogdor. The game was a fan favorite before the debut of Peasant's Quest.

In the game [[Peasant's Quest]], killing the Burninator is [[Rather Dashing]]'s goal. After Trogdor burninates his [[thatched-roof cottage]], he journeys to the Trog-Cave, only to get burninated by the dragon like many before him. In this game, Trogdor's voice is an old speech synthesizer called the [[Wikipedia:Software Automatic Mouth|Software Automatic Mouth]], or S.A.M. It's revealed that Trogdor cannot be killed in this game, yet he can be in TROGDOR!.

A [[20X6]] version of Trogdor, called [[Trogador]], was revealed at the [[NYU Talk - 1 Mar 2005|NYU Talk]], but did not appear in the Homestar Runner canon until [[Happy Trogday]] was released on the third anniversary of Trogdor's debut.

According to the email [[myths & legends]], at some point the CG Dinosaur Channel created a special called "Walking With Trogdor".

In the email [[concert]], Strong Bad receives an email purporting to be from "Your Dragon, Trogdor", which he considered to be an impersonation.

Two of Trogdor's birthdays have been celebrated on the website. In 2006, [[Happy Trogday]] commemorated his third birthday with a fanstuff montage. However, [[Trogday 08|two years later]], Strong Bad decided to sing both an entire alphabet song and (though only after Trogdor showed up in person and forced him to) a heavy metal song about [[The S is for Sucks Dragon]] instead. He claimed that internet users had ruined Trogdor, along with zombies, pirates, ninjas and himself.

Trogdor was also the main subject of the season 1 finale of [[SBCG4AP]], [[8-Bit Is Enough]]. In it, the TROGDOR! [[Arcade Game|arcade machine]] breaks and Trogdor is released into [[Free Country, USA]], and promptly burninates [[Strong Badia]]. Driven for revenge (much like [[Rather Dashing]] in [[Peasant's Quest]]), Strong Bad sets out to kill Trogdor by enlisting the help of various other [[Videlectrix]] characters. When Strong Bad finally confronts his foe, Trogdor morphs into [[ULTIMATE TROGDOR!!!]], but is still no match for [[Ultimate Strong Bad]].

== How to draw Trogdor (according to Strong Bad) ==
#Draw an S.
#Draw a more different S.
#Close it up real good at the top for his head.
#Using consummate V's, give him teeth, spinities, and angry eyebrows.
#You can add smoke or fire.
#And maybe add some wings, you know, if he's a wing-a-ling dragon.
#Put one of those beefy arms back on him for good measure.
#Name him ''TROGDOR the BURNiNATOR''.
#Add majestic lines... for majesty.

Minor Foods

YK — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 02:13:22 GMT

YK: /* General Minor Foods */ Less awkward wording and speculation removed.

Just as people in the real world need to eat, so do the characters in the [[Homestar Runner universe]]. These '''food items''' are varied, from strange ethnic foods to common junk food. Some foods are just plainly ridiculous in their name, shape, or size, while others look normal. Some characters even have their own brand of food named after themselves (or as a pun on their name) or shaped like the character.

'''Commentary''': Strong Bad, Strong Sad, and Homestar Runner talk about the movie as it's being played.

'''Deleted Scenes''': A pixelated challenge modeled after the Atari 2600 game ''[http://www.atariage.com/screenshot_page.html?SoftwareLabelID=976 Barnstorming]''; Coach Z and Homestar Runner in the shower room; and Strong Mad telling Marzipan about the Yello Dello.

==Transcripts==
{{YelloDello}}

== Fun Facts ==
=== Explanations ===
*The way the music fades as it reaches the end of a loop (unlike most other loops on the site) mimics the looping music used on some DVD menus. Due to technical limitations, music used in DVD menus cannot loop and is often faded out similarly to the music used here.
*Strong Bad's name being in a box in the theatrical trailer is a common tactic used in movie poster credits to highlight the name of a well-known actor who is not top-billed.

=== Remarks ===
*During the scene where Coach Z is giving advice to Homestar, Homestar's star appears as a pentacle — a hollow star drawn with lines across each point. Stars are often drawn this way because it's easier to make them symmetrical.
*In the third deleted scene (where Strong Mad plays Strong Bad's role), the tattoo on Strong Mad's right arm is of the band [[Wikipedia:Black Flag (band)|Black Flag]]. He is also wearing a shirt with a megaphone decal on it.
*The flower that Marzipan is watering is similar to the flower in Coach Z's "bad gift" scenario.
*Marzipan's handprint seems to indicate that she has [[Lack of Visible Arms|invisible arms and hands]].
*Unless Pom Pom had two identical guns, he couldn't have pulled out the gun the second time, because he threw it away.
*There is no "back" link at the end of the old version.
*The link to the storyboards no longer works.
*Despite the Yello Dello's feminine appearance and the fact that it's referred to as a ''her'', it speaks in a male voice.
*This is the first appearance of [[Atari 2600]] graphics in the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work.
*Strong Sad's pixellated appearance during the montage depicts him with a gray face and white upper body, rather than a white face and grey upper body.

=== Goofs ===
*In the scene where Pom Pom is floating, the dots on Homestar's hat disappear while he talks.
*In the locker room scene, Coach Z's right foot is cut down by a thin gray line in the middle, showing a mistake in copy and pasting.
*In the scene where Pom Pom and Homestar are supporting Strong Sad so he can tell his story, Homestar wakes up and slides out from underneath Strong Sad, yet Strong Sad doesn't move (he was previously standing on top of Homestar).
*In Deleted Scene #1, when the plane hits the barn, the sky will move to the left, exposing a thin white area.

=== Inside References ===
*The goat head that pops out from behind the mountain in Coach Z's "bad gift" scenario also appeared in [[Audition with Marzipan]].
*This is another reference to [[goats]].
*In the commentary, Strong Sad reveals that he dreams of [[Death#Strong Sad|his own death]] (over and over and over...).
*In the commentary, Homestar accidentally introduces the toon as "the King of Town Super DVD", which references to [[The King of Town DVD]].
*In the commentary, Strong Bad's saying that he doesn't trust Pom Pom any further than he can throw him is another reference to [[The King of Town DVD]], where SB makes the same quote in the commentary about the little chef guy.
*[[Oven mitts]] appear several times in the DVD.
*The alien is seen [[showering]].
*The rating slide in the trailer reads, "EVERYBODY! EVERYBODY!", a reference to [[Intro]].
*The Australian narrator's line about the Yello Dello being the rarest and most beautiful bird in the cartoon [[breaking the fourth wall|breaks the fourth wall]].

=== Real-World References ===
* "Hello Yello Dello" might be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Three Stooges|The Three Stooges']] quote of "Hello, Hello, Hello! Hello hello hello hello hello!"
*The deleted scene with the plane is a reference to the [[Atari 2600]] game ''[[Wikipedia:Barnstorming (video game)|Barnstorming]]''.
*In the third deleted scene, Strong Mad sports a [[Wikipedia:Black Flag_(band)|Black Flag]] tatoo.
*The scene with the scorpion is from the classic Atari 2600 game [[Wikipedia:Pitfall!|Pitfall!]].
**The song played at the end of the cartoon is the sound effect from Pitfall for when the player dies.
*The title may be a reference to the old TV series [[Wikipedia:In Search of...|In Search of...]], which was narrated by [[Wikipedia:Leonard Nimoy|Leonard Nimoy]] ([[Wikipedia:Star Trek|Star Trek]]'s [[Wikipedia:Mr. Spock|Mr. Spock]]) and detailed the search for various legendary beasts, artifacts, and places (e.g. In Search of [[Wikipedia:Bigfoot|Bigfoot]], In Search of [[Wikipedia:Loch Ness Monster|The Loch Ness Monster]], and so on).
*[[Wikipedia:Mello Yello|Mello Yello]] (mentioned in the third deleted scene) is a brand of soda made by [[Wikipedia:Coca-Cola|Coca-Cola]] similar to [[Mountain Dew]].
*The voice-over that describes the Yello Dello is similar to [[Wikipedia:Steve Irwin|Steve Irwin]], also known as The Crocodile Hunter.
*"Discover Network" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Discovery Channel|Discovery Channel]].
*The obnoxiously loud menu theme is a reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Pitfall II: Lost Caverns|Pitfall II: Lost Caverns]]'', which also featured incredibly loud music for an Atari game. The menu theme is not the same as that of ''Pitfall II'', but it is very similar.
*The Yello Dello's manner of eating is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:LucasArts|LucasArts]] adventure game ''[[Wikipedia:LOOM|LOOM]]'', in which a seagull eats a clam in the same way.
*The character from the Atari 2600 game ''[[Wikipedia:Yars' Revenge|Yars' Revenge]]'' that Homestar mentions in the Commentary is the Yar that you control in the game. In the game you can eat squares off of the Quotile's (the enemy) Shield.

=== Fast Forward ===
*The quote "Oh, Strong Sad! How long have you been standing there?" would be said again by Homestar in [[The Luau]].
*In the deleted scene, where Homestar and his companions are in the plane, after they fly into the ducks Homestar yells out, "Somebody get this freakin' [[duck]] away from me!" This would be later said by Strong Bad relating to the [[Atari dragon]] on [[Main Page 13]].
*The quote, "I think I has the solution" was later said by Strong Bad in [[little questions]].
*The [[rating screen]] in the theatrical trailer is used again in the trailer for [[Sbemail 169 Deleted Scene]].
*Marzipan's shriek from the Old Version can be heard in the [[Most in the Graveyard Teaser]].

*Switch the audio in the Old Version to hear commentary from Mike and Matt Chapman and Peter Olsen.
*The storyboard now has commentary.
*When played in "Play All", only the New Version is played.
*An Easter egg is added involving a 4th Deleted Scene.

''{Open to a blue background with Michael Stipe's face with a message reading "Deleted Scene #4; 'Yello Dello' featured Strong Sad's first spoken lines in a cartoon. This was the first stab at his voice: Matt's bad [[Wikipedia:Michael Stipe|Michael Stipe]] impression. So bad, in fact, that it was never to be heard again". Cut to Strong Sad in a scene from the new version of Yello Dello.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{sounds supposedly like Michael Stipe.}'' I don't know, Homestar. That looks... really dangerous.

Mellow Mushroom

YK — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 22:42:42 GMT

YK: /* Pages */ Past tense'd!

[[Image:Mellow_Mushroom.png|thumb|right|220px|Mel the Mellow Mushroom]]
'''[[Wikipedia:Mellow Mushroom|Mellow Mushroom]]''' was a [[The Brothers Chaps' Side Projects|non-Homestar Runner]] related site designed by [[The Brothers Chaps]] in 2001 for a chain of [[pizza]] restaurants headquartered in [[Georgia]]. The layout, navigation, and [[sound effects]] were all similar to those on [[homestarrunner.com]], and the voices of the brothers and [[Missy Palmer]] were very distinctive. The site was renovated in 2007 and the old content was archived. In 2009, the site was renovated once again, and the archive of this site was removed.

==Characters==
*'''Mel O. Mushroom''' — Main character of Mellow Mushroom.
*'''Dude Shroomington''' — Mel O. Mushroom's friend. He seems to have a crush on Melody.
*'''Melody''' — Friendly employee of Mellow Mushroom.
*'''The Fun Guys: "Port, Toe & Bello''' — Small mushroom-like men.
*'''Wizard''' — Helpful mountain wizard.

==Pages==
[[Image:Mellow_Mushroom_Melody.png|thumb|right|220px|Melody: A relative of [[Marzipan]]?]]
*'''Toons:''' Mellow Mushroom had only one cartoon, titled "The Sun Almost Rises".
*'''Games:''' Mellow Mushroom had four games: Pizza Darts, ''Skateboarding Dude'', Wack-a-FunGuy, and Dress up Mel.
*'''Characters:''' The character page was in the style of a fountain drink machine.
*'''Mel-Locator:''' Presented the locations of all the Mellow Mushroom restaurants.
*'''Downloads:''' Mellow Mushroom had a few downloads available, such as wallpaper, screensavers, and character icons.
*'''Menu:''' The menu showed all the food available from Mellow Mushroom restaurants.
*'''Gear:''' Much like the Homestar Runner [[Store]], there were several T-shirts and other such Mellow Mushroom memorabilia to purchase.

==Fun Facts==
*"Mountain Dude", mentioned on the Characters Page, is an obvious play on [[Mountain Dew]], while "Melody-ade" sounds very much like [[Melonade]].
*On the menu, "Munchies" is the only thing that Melody doesn't say when you put your cursor over it.
*"Magical Mystery Tour" on the Pizza page is the title of an [[Wikipedia:Magical Mystery Tour (album)|album]], a [[Wikipedia:Magical Mystery Tour (film)|film]], and a [[Wikipedia:Magical Mystery Tour (song)|song]] made by [[The Beatles]].
**Another possible Beatles reference is on the Dress Up Mel page, where there are glasses and hair that resemble very closely the style of [[Wikipedia:John Lennon|John Lennon]].
*The only toon is "The Sun Almost Rises", a reference to [[Wikipedia: The Sun Also Rises|The Sun Also Rises]].
*When a button on the menu is hit, oftentimes, a dog can be heard barking and sometimes whining faintly.
*The characters the "Fun Guys" have nearly the same voice as [[The Cheat]].
*On the original menu of the old website, located inside his house, the voice sample when you highlight the "Links" option has a much higher sound quality than the others.

User talk:DorianGray/Analysis of Homsar's Speech Patterns

YK — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 19:41:30 GMT

YK: Reply and additional thoughts.

{{tbd}}
Nice project: I don't want to add anything you don't like, but here is my thoughts:
*"AaAaAaAaAaAaA!!! I'm saving the best for last!" - One scorpion goes into his mouth and I guess he likes to eat them.
*"I'm the ghost of Christmas past." - He is dressed as '''Ghost''' Dog, and mixing with another holiday.
*"And also with you." - He is insulted and tells Homestar that ''he'' doesn't get a ding in reply.
*"I do what I'm told..." - as you wrote: Strong Bad had just '''told''' him to get outta his house.
I don't have much time today to go over the transcripts you didn't add, so this is it for now. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 08:09, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

== I've brought my best foot flowered ==
I think "I've brought my best foot flowered" could make sense if he meant to say "I'm putting my best foot ''forward''", i.e., he's trying to make a good impression with his character video. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:49, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
:That's possible. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 06:48, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
:Makes lots of sense to me. [[User:Scalawag|Scalawag]] 21:28, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

== Something I'm missing? ==

This article seems unnecessary, very POV, and over-analytical, even for us. I wouldn't be sad to see it go, but, for the time being, I'm not putting a tbd notice on it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:05, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
:It was created to directly refute information contained both here and at Wikipedia. It furthers the project because it systematically analyzes a central trait of a central character. It's in the main namespace because it should belong to everyone (yes, works in progress on user subpages can technically be edited by anyone, but it's just not the same); that way, it can be improved upon and maintained by the whole community. It only seems POV because it seeks to draw conclusions, but the process by which it reaches those conclusions attempts to be objective. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:37, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
::We have an NPOV policy now? {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 21:25, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
:::I don't know whether it's ever been written as such on any policy pages, but it seems like a knowledge base should be as unbiased as possible. Occasionally "NPOV" can be seen in edit summaries as reasons for changing or removing something. As for the article, I think certain phrases could be reworded to be more straightforward and less of an opinion. I'll work on that a little now. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:39, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
:This article can go to really speculative levels, with all those interpatations. How do we know that The Brothers Chaps meant all that? {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 21:51, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
::I disagree. I'm not saying there's no speculation; I'm just saying that it's based on observation and reason. We allow a certain amount of speculation in fun facts and articles as long as it's relevant and reasonable and if the article would suffer if we left it out. This research page does have a bit more latitude, but that's understandable given its scope. Although it does give an interpretation at the bottom (which, like everything else, can be edited according to consensus), by and large it just presents the facts. No one claims to be able to read TBC's minds, but as long as we don't invent wild, irrelevant theories, then we're good. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:24, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

:::My point in doing this analysis was, as It's dot com mentioned, to objectively observe what Homsar is saying and relate it to the scene in which he said it. In many cases, you can clearly see the connection between his statement and what's going on, and in the cases where that connection ISN'T clear (or there doesn't appear to be one at all), interpretation is limited mainly to "There doesn't appear to be a connection, but this sentence is syntactically valid/correct on its own", etc. I removed as much POV stuff from the article as I could when I moved it to the main namespace. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 23:04, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

: I'm taking another look at it, and... I want to say that maybe I feel stronger than before that this page is ridiculous. Half of Homsar's sentences have descriptions that say "This could make sense," frequently without describing how or by reaching for related words and twisting it a bit. Well, yeah... they could. So? They also very easily could be random nonsense. Por ejample:
::''"Nowowowow, this is the thrill of a lifetime."''
::''The other characters all said some variation of "Happy T!", but Homsar's line could still be construed to make some sense.''
:That this says that he could make some sense makes no sense, at least to me. Could you at least explain it a little? Is it because he's "thrilled" to be part of the Happy T stuff? Because he says three words that start with the letter "T"? Perhaps it's not a word salad because it would make sense in a totally different context, but in this context, it's meaningless as far as I can easily see. This page is trying to make insanity seem sane, to feign order in chaos, and to hear dialogue in ramblings. I don't believe it has any place in this Wiki. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:49, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
::Even if this ''is'' overanalytical, we can also argue that the entire wiki is pointless because it's all to analyze an internet cartoon. I bet TBC didn't even imagine that it would go this far. Not to say that I'm against this site, I find it endlessly amusing. —'''xo''' [[User:Scalawag|Scalawag]]

== It's time for tasteball ==

Homestar responds as though he's just informing them that they have to go do something right then. Seems pretty non-random to me. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 21:34, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
:Excellent point. I'm going to update the article. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:25, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
::It seems more to me that it's general Homsar's randomness, but Homestar's too obtuse to notice and thinks Homsar's serious... which would be in character for both of them... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 16:35, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

This really has nothing to do with this, but because of that line, I now call dodgeball "tasteball". [[User:DrPepper42|DrPepper42]] 01:50, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Really? Because I have Been calling skeeball "tasteball". [[PartyBrd20X6]]

== Butterfly effect ==

What I'm about to say could easily be said on a lot of pages (and I don't intend it to be a forum-style topic), but it seems particularly appropriate here, given the amount of time and energy that have gone into the character of Homsar, both on TBC's part to create him, make him entertaining, and make merchandise about him, and on our part to enjoy it all and analyze obscure patterns in minute detail. What if Vinnie had been a better proof-reader? The world would be a vastly different place. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:02, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
:Wow... Really makes you think, eh? I never thought I'd be glad for misspellings... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::True, though if he didn't come about, Homestar would probably just be alot weirder to compensate, or something. I'm sure it would probably still be a pretty similar site. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 00:18, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
:::It would be weird. I mean, there would be no [[interview]], [[Strong Sad]] would be even more lonesome, and there would be no regular use for that "b-b-b-b-b-b-b" sound that Homsar makes while walking. I'm sure someone would have slipped up eventually, inadvertantly creating Hoesta or Ometar or something. --[[User:Jnelson09|Jnelson09]] 00:42, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
::::I would doubt that Vinnie's was the only email that misspelled Homestar's name; TBC probably picked his from a handful of emails containing mispellings, like "Homstar", "Hometar", etc. (this is somewhat speculative, though) {{User:Trey56/sig}} 20:40, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
:::::I still think his foil ought to be Stong Bad

== Strong Sad's Blog And An Email ==

What about in Strong Sad's Blog where Strong Sad writes that one day when he was talking to Homsar, Homsar kept saying, "When can we start the Jeffersons?" In the blog it's also mentioned that at a party Homsar told Strong Sad to hug a tree. While no quotes, it would be interesting to point out in summary that Homsar's language skills seem to let him organize a party. And finally, Strong Sad in [[2 emails]] tells Strong Bad that Homsar called and said he was a million ladies tall. -[[User:WarthogDemon|WarthogDemon]] 07:02, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

== Cleanup ==

I propose we have another look at this article for the sake of improving it. Last time people were regularly discussing it, there were some serious concerns as to its merit. I find this article to be very useful, but like some who have raised objections above, I am concerned about some sections of it. Quite simply, I think sometimes this article tries too hard to make sense of Homsar's sentences. As an example, this explanation of the phrase "I'm a million ladies tall":
<blockquote>
Not really a word salad as Homsar's statement could be interpreted as, "I'm as tall as any of those ladies."
</blockquote>
seems to me to be sretching it to the breaking point. I realise that part of this is because this study was originally made in order to refute the notion that Homsar speaks in word salads, but now that this point has been effectively made, I think the article needs to be reworked to a more neutral perspective. I intend to start work on this soon, and would value any help and input anyone would like to give. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:41, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
:OK, finally trying to do this. So, I made that last edit in the hopes of preserving the original analysis while changing the tone a bit so it doesn't sound as much like it's fishing for sense in Homsar's statements but rather acknowledges both what sense there is and that it still doesn't really fit the context. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:59, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

==I'll pay you tuesday==
This is a rephrasing of a quote from J. Wellington Wimpy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Wellington_Wimpy)
"I'd gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today"
So this puts Homsars quote into even more context.
--[[User:Gerkuman|Gerkuman]] 12:01, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
:We've always noted this quote as a Real World Reference, so I don't unstand the point that you are making. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 12:44, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
:: <s>That it's not mentioned on THIS page. The page implies that the comment was only slightly in context.</s> Oops, big mistake. Sorry Guys. --[[User:Gerkuman|Gerkuman]] 13:08, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

==Dinner Party==

Couldn't we also say that it's possible Strong Bad tricked our strange friend, by saying there was a dinner party, but it was just a "cliffhanger?" [[User: Dusk|Dusk]]
:No, that would be conjecture since noting backs that up. -[[User:WarthogDemon|WarthogDemon]] 00:40, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

==Thripshaw's Disease?==
Homsar's speech patterns seem to me to be inspired by a fictional disease: Thripshaw's Disease, from a Monty Python sketch. "Well as I say, you'd just be talking and out'll pudenda the wrong word and ashtray's your uncle. So I'm really strawberry about it." It's not identical, but it did seem very similar to me. -- [[User:Cronocke|Cronocke]] 10:07, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

== Accurate? ==
Is this article actually accurate? Some of these patterns are just what users believe in their opinion, and are not really facts, which means users might disagree with some of the descriptions in this, and may break out into an edit war. Is there any evidence on these
speech patterns? --{{User:AAA!/sig}} 10:20, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

==Homsar's Main Page ==
You don't have to include this, but it is an expansion on why Homsar may have chosen to say what he said on each button. (Note: some are pretty obvious)

Toons: "ToOoOoOons!" (This is just a Homsar-esque exageration of the actual word)

Games: "James!" (Words beging with a hard "G" have ocasionally been pronounced with a soft "G", which sounds like a "J" on H*R. This is just contiuing that joke as "Games" with a soft "G" would sound like "James")

Characters: "Kelsey Grammer!" (No idea about this one)

Downloads: "Thank youuuuu." (He could be thanking you for downloading from H*R.)

Store: "Legitimate business." (Possibly stating that the store's "business" is "legitimate")

Email: "AaAaAaAaAaAaA!" (This is just Homsar, being Homsar. He is quite well known for suddenly going "Aaahaaa" so it makes sense he said it on his main page)

[[User:MJN SEIFER|MJN SEIFER]] 14:28, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

:"Legitimate business" is one case where it's really difficult to tell exactly what he said. I keep hearing "Legitimate Beer-beer" or something similar to that, and apparently someone else hears "Legimitate Menu". Anyone got anything for sure on this one? {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 18:01, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

There was a time when I too thought he said "Legitimate Beer-beer" and admitidly Strong Sad talking over the last sylible didn't help. However I rechecked this very clearfuly. It is deffinetly "Legitimare Business". [[User:MJN SEIFER|MJN SEIFER]] 21:23, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

I THINK that it's starnge nobody noticed that the boat was going backwards, adn it was on dry land. He might of said thank you as a reference to the sign that said wear a bikini!.[[User:Runstar Homer|Runstar Homer]] 22:26, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Kelsey Grammer is an Actor so Homsar might be saying that he plays a "Character" on T.V.--[[User:Stinkodeuce|Stinkodeuce]] 19:59, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

==These Easter Pants Are Way Too Tight==

When Homsar's most recent line (from DNA Evidence) was added, I think the explanation was really grasping at straws. Furthermore, the context (Strong Sad reveals secret by accident - Homsar speaks - suspenseful music) seems to suggest, at least to me, that Homsar "said" something that made sense to Strong Sad; perhaps he revealed that he wouldn't keep the secret in Homsaric. It wouldn't be the first time that Homsar said something that is nonsense to the audience but appears to have a clear meaning to the other characters. [[User:Almsfothepudgy|Almsfothepudgy]] 10:43, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

:I dunno, sounds like a threat to me... seems like Homsar thinks being a secret character is too restricting. That makes the most sense from what he said. Perhaps he will use his knowledge as a leverage against Strong Sad to gain main character status. Of course, this is a cartoon where nothing much has happened for... well 11 years now, other than artwork improvement. But its fun to pretend. --[[User:Sines|Sines]] 15:41, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

::That's the problem. It's ''so'' fun to pretend that the other users have built up a mountain of pure speculation over this small phrase. ¤ {{User:The Mu/sig}} 20:43, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

I think that Homsar meant "I think these Easter Eggs I'm in are getting way too short!" {{User:Haldo/sig}}

== Kind of a stretch? ==
Some of these explanations are a bit of a stretch, aren't they? for example:
*"Sing a song of Pennzoil" Explanation: Possibly a Product Endorsement. Why would someone like Homsar do product endorsements?
*"Caramel corn for president, please." Explanation: Kernel/Colonel Corn joke. Why would someone like Homsar A: ever hear that joke, B: remember it long enough to tell it again, C: use it as praise for Strong Sad, and D: even understand the mechanics of a joke?
*"I'm a million ladies tall." Explanation: Either he's saying he's as tall as any of those ladies, or he has a million ladies with him. A big stretch, since homsar is not as tall as any of those ladies (He barely tops 3 feet tall) and would DEFINITELY not have a million ladies with him. He probably is relating the discussed topic (ladies) into his word salad.
The explanation for his character video also focuses on the "Best foot flowered" line and downplays the other completely nonsensical sentences, especially the "gravy train" line.

Other supporting evidence of word salads: Email [[suntan]]: his testimonial for the Ab-Abber 2000: He uses it to draw a calculator with the word SALAd on it.
Now, while some of his sentences aren't word salads, such as his first ever line and the "I do what I'm told" line, many of them are word salads. [[User:Jedibob5|Jedibob5]] 21:34, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

:I'm a little late to the party on this one, but having done a fair amount of research into the subject of Word Salad ([[Wikipedia:Psychophasia|psychophasia]]), here's my reply:

* "Pennzoil": It makes sense in the context of the cartoon (Fall Float Parade) - big-name Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's parades are chock full of product endorsements, whether seen in the parade or heard by a commentator. I think this was just a fun way for TBC to poke fun at the product-endorsement shtick while also giving Homsar a reason to exist in the cartoon.

* "Caramel Corn": I believe the quote originally was "Colonel/Kernel Corn", not "Caramel". (I may be wrong.) And as explained, Colonel/Kernel Corn is a common joke. Beyond that, it's pretty nonsensical, but it's grammatically correct and stands up on its own syntactically.

* "I'm a million ladies tall": Not grammatically correct, pretty nonsensical, but semi-related to the scene. Also recall that this was Strong Sad quoting Homsar, not Homsar himself, thus it can't really even be counted properly in this analysis. We didn't hear Homsar say it, so we'd have to take Strong Sad's word for it that that was what Homsar actually said. (Homsar could have said "I'm as tall as a million ladies!" and SS might have just condensed it.) I'd probably just remove that line entirely.

* "Captain of the Gravy Train": Again, nonsensical but grammatically correct, and it stands up on its own. As noted in the analysis, Homsar's bio is pretty much complete randomness, so you can't really get much context from it at all. But "I'm Homsar, the captain of the Gravy Train" seems like a pretty decent introduction, even if the content doesn't make much sense.

:The point in all of this is that Homsar is random and nonsensical, but he doesn't display the kind of symptoms that one would expect to see if he were actually suffering from psychophasia. You can discern a meaning from his response, whereas with patients with psychophasia, you really can't most of the time. And, as noted, if he has something specific to say to someone, he says it in a way that usually gets his point across. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 23:33, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

I'd say this whole article is a stretch. I don't believe there's any meaning at all behind anything he says, & SBCG4AP episode 2 suggests outright that he's speaking perfect sence but without a tranlator, one will only hear jibberish.

I think the translations are, by and large, pretty interesting and fun, whether or not they reflect the original intent of the Bros. Chaps. But, uh, why is, "You're a real state trooper" described as an odd way to say "thank you," after Homestar *spits* in the donation can. I think it's more of an odd way to say, "You're a real jerk." Of course, I... uh... hate cops... so... there you go.
:I always thought that line was based on "you're a real trooper", something parents say to their kids for being brave when they go to the doctor's or something. [[User:Hagurumon|Hagurumon]] 02:55, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

I was thinking, after watching videos of the game on YouTube, that we really don't need to rethink this article. I would imagine that when Homsar got the Heavy Lourde dropped on him, he suffered some head injuries and could no longer communicate properly. I think he intends to speak normal English, but it all comes out mangled. When Strong Bad puts all the artifacts into the pylon, he can understand what Homsar is actually trying to say. - [[User:Tymime|Tymime]] 19:28, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Good point up there/\ but he could talk while in the hospital.................................

New "post". You know, I'm really surprised there was so little discussion on this. SBCG4AP Episode 2 really seems to throw this whole page and its content right out the window... none of what Homsar says in that game, "untranslated", matches, even in the slightest, with the most vivid of imaginations, what comes out after it's *translated*. Also, unlike all the other examples on this page, these aren't even *attempted* to be rationalized as-is; it just lists what it was a response to, and what it was "translated" as. Ok, yeah, so it's just one instance amidst many others, and there *are* a few instances in which he makes some slight bit of sense in context, but still, it almost comes across as TBC saying "Huh? Uh, no... there's no hidden meaning. We just have him say whatever random stuff we can think of at the moment." (which is, frankly, what I figure they do anyhow). Eh, I know this won't change anyone's mind about this page, but if you ask me, we tend to go *way* overboard on this Wiki trying to rationalize a character who seems to be the personification of randomness, and is much *funnier* if you don't try to analyze him. Just my two cents. -{{User:YK/sig}} 07:17, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
:I tend to agree with most of what you say. For a time, I thought this would make an OK article, but I no longer think so, and stopped thinking so even before SBdia the Free was released. It's an interesting thought exercise, and probably does make one interesting point: Homsar's speech has no clear rules (sometimes, such as "best foot flowered", it's a corruption of a relatively normal phrase; other times, such as "I do what I'm told", it actually makes reasonable sense; in most, particularly obviously in SBdia the Free, it's just a lot of nonsense). Still, this whole article seems to me to be more the stuff of essays than encyclopedia articles. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 07:29, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
::Well, you all should know [[User:Jay#Things I don't agree with the pfargtling consensus about|my take on this article]] by now. Only reason I didn't bring up discussion on this Talk page was because I'd had discussions on the subject before, which didn't go my way, so I was waiting for someone else. My position remains unchanged (even if Homsar ''did'' say something relatively relevant in his last appearance, albeit not COMPLETELY coherent, it's neither the rule nor truly notable, in my eyes.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 09:18, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
:::Having read the original discussion regarding this page, I have noticed several things:
:::#It was never actually put up for deletion.
:::#The original idea of objective analysis is good in theory, but practically, I'm just seeing this talk page covered with comments about how one analysis or another is a stretch.
:::#There is far more speculation and POV on this page than there is anywhere else.
:::It also seems clear to me that the attempt is usually to have Homsar say word salads, non-sequiturs, or other random, unintelligible phrases. Every so often, he does say a few things that are closer to sensical in context than usual, such as "That's a real popular song! Who wants to hear of it fifty times more?", which is probably the most sensical thing he's ever said aside from his first two appearances in which it's clear TBC had not yet decided to make him a random nutjob. It can be said that sometimes he says things that make enough sense to be interpreted. However, he doesn't make nearly as much sense as this page tries to give him credit for. For example: "I left my bacon at the tennis patch." currently has an explanation of "This sentence could possibly mean that he surrendered and left for important reasons." What?! Really? In what language does "leaving one's bacon" mean "surrender", and "at the tennis patch" mean "for important reasons"? Not in any language I speak, that's for sure... And around 95% of the explanations are like this. My point is, this page would make a great essay, but not so good as a comprehensive list of trying to explain every one of Homsar's lines rationally. This page tries to create the false impression that the bulk of his lines are intelligible in some way or another, while in reality, the overwhelming majority of his lines are simply random. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 19:56, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
::::Yeah, I think it's high time the serious merits of this page are discussed. Nearest I can figure from the old discussions, the point of it was originally to disprove the widely-believed notion that Homsar speaks in "word salads". I think it's safe to say that most of his lines *aren't*, and *are* gramatically *correct* (if often a bit oddly put together)... they just...tend not to mean anything in context for the most part. The real problem with this page is that it seemed to "evolve" in such a way that now it's just attempting to make perfect sense of a something that was *designed* *not* to make any. In addition to the example DeFender offered (which I agree is an *unbelievable* stretch), the needlessly long-winded "rationalization" of "These Easter pants are *way* too tight!", is another good one. Sure, I *suppose* it could mean any of the things listed... but why are *any* of them somehow more logical and likely than the much simpler concept: "TBC just had him say something weird and random"? Even for us, obsessive as we all are, this is too much. More, it doesn't fit the scope of the overall project; while not a hard-and-fast rule, per se, we tend to frown on speculation and personal opinion everywhere else. What makes this article exempt from that, barring a few people having cited it "their favorite page on the Wiki"? -{{User:YK/sig}} 20:53, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

== "Daaaahhhh, I'm the local Leroy!" ==

This quote could be in reference to the old "Leroy Jenkins" videos from World of Warcraft (IE. Homsar is in the group and, possibly, planning on running on ahead first.).
:As I've [[Talk:Strong Badia the Free#Leeroy Jenkins Reference?|stated before]], this is a big stretch (and the "possibly" makes it border even further on speculation). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 05:03, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

It seems odd that nobody thought of this: The quote was used in the game Strong Badia the Free, and so anyone who's playing it is likely a gamer. Nowadays, I think most gamers who use the internet would likely have herd of Leeroy Jenkins, that WoW celebrity? Because if he was comparing himself to the battle-ready barbarian Leeroy Jenkins, the quote would make perfect sense, because that character description fits perfectly. I think this should be mentioned in the article for sure. BTW, here's sme source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zll_jAKvarw

This was reverted by [[User:DeFender1031|Defender1031]]; but I think it sounds valid. He asks, "what part of 'Bacon' or 'tennis patch' implies 'surrender' or 'important reasons?'"

Like I said, I believe this sounds perfectly valid--hence the word '''possibly'''. It just sounds like that's what it means, to me. I'm not sure why, though...

Thoughts? {{User:Religious Corn/sig}} 00:42, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
:I can't make a logical rebuttal to an argument that says "it just sounds valid even though the two sentences don't mean the same thing". This is indicative of the general problem that exists with this page, which we have been discussing up above. Homsar says something totally crazy, someone comes up with some metaphorical-esque interpretation, and everyone else looks at it and goes "oh, that makes sense". It reminds me of modern art. Throw a bunch of paint-filled balloons at a canvas, then tell everyone the picture represents "the chaos within" or some such, and people will buy it. Well I don't buy it, and i seriously think the concept of this page needs revisiting. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 04:49, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

== Let's take this in another direction ==

The discussions up above didn't really go anywhere, even though we seem to have a strong opposition to this page as it stands now. So it seems to me, the time has come to discuss its future. The arguments are that it has become a forum for taking every one of Homsar's lines and trying to rationalize it. True, many of his earlier phrases had some contextual sense, and occasionally in recent toons he says something that sort of fits, but overall, he tends to speak in word salads. Yes, I am contradicting the conclusions of this page. He does speak in word salads, and you can rationalize all you want and define "bacon" as "surrender" and "tennis patch" as "important reasons" from today till tomorrow, but it isn't going to change the fact that this little weirdo just doesn't make sense the vast majority of the time.

So, instead of continuing this farce, I propose that we make a page, from scratch, of times that what Homsar says makes sense in context. No rationalization, no forced definition, we take what he says at face value. What do you all think? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 05:03, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
: Oooh! Oooh! Reason! Yeah, I have hated this page from day 1, but I could easily get behind a [[Homsar Making Sense]] page. So long as we keep it limited to those instances where he actually does, and not rationalize his more random lines with "This could make sense if you look at it in this completely counterintuitive fashion!" --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:18, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
::I'm not in favour of retaining this article as is, either. As it is, it just doesn't act like an encyclopedia article; it acts like a big collection of original ideas. An encyclopedia has the job of reporting facts, not establishing new thought on a matter.

::::I see this page as a case that is close to what's going on in [[Strong Bad Smiling]]: A page was made with good intentions, spiraled out of control, and now we need to figure out how to separate the factual wheat from the speculative chaff.

But more recently, his sentences stopped making sense at all, and we were stuck with nothing to do but document it. Well, now we reached a stage where we can't rationalize it anymore.

For example, does "Reggie, is that rhinocerous around?" make sense?

::::::I agree. If we are going to create a page on Homsar making sense, I feel we should also create a section of the page where he doesn't make complete sense, but a logical sentence is able to be formed from his line.

It basically boils down to the fact that this page has only been allowed to exist as long as it has because Homsar is everyone's favorite character; he seems to get a surprising amount of leeway on this wiki, on the whole, I've noticed. I don't like this. He's weird, he's funny, he's awesome, but he's not the central focus of Homestar Runner, and I do not think he deserves the special treatment we've been giving him. -{{User:YK/sig}} 19:41, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

== Well, here is my opinion ==

On the one hand, I could see how it would make sense to add this to Homsar's Page. But I for one think its just a bit too long to be added to Homsar's Page. So, maybe we should keep it. {{User:Crab Attack1999/sig}} 02:41, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Nighttime Driving Type Game

YK — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 07:25:16 GMT

YK: Here's a reason: It *doesn't*. It's just a bunch of blue pixels that vaguely resemble a car.

[[Image:nightdriver.png|thumb|It's just a four minute drive away]]

'''Nighttime Driving Type Game''' is a game accessible only by clicking the "O" in [[Strong Bad's Message Bored]].

In this game, you must drive through oncoming traffic... at night! Move your car with the mouse.

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Nightime_egg.PNG|thumb|300px|Get out of my basement!]]

*If you beat {{film|Strong Bad}}'s high score of 50,000 points, you'll get a short cutscene where Strong Bad shows you that he's now gotten a new high score, exactly one point higher than yours. You can also access this by right-clicking and pressing "Play" when you lose on the Flash File.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, you beat my high score, huh? Well, check this out, I just finished this game.
:''{Cut to the game on his television screen. His score is one point higher than yours.}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, tough luck, man. I guess it's back to the drawing board for you!
:''{Cut back to Strong Bad.}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Or, back to the Night Driving board... or, w— ''{yells}'' Get out of my basement!

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*The scoring is as follows:
**Green Car - 100
**Red Car - 500
**Police Car - 500
**Drunk Driver - 1000
*The movement of the cars are as follows:
**Green Car - Takes up one lane and can go in any.
**Red Car - Always Takes up the middle lane, moves very fast.
**Police Car - Always takes up the middle and the right lane.
**Drunk Driver (truck) - Takes up one lane, swerves from the left lane to the right lane most of the time, but on occasion, goes from the right lane to the left.

===Remarks===
*It's not possible to get a score one point higher than another score, like Strong Bad says he did, considering that all point values are multiples of 100.
*In [[SBCG4AP]], Strong Bad's room is not in his basement.
**Assuming that the website is correct and not the game, this is the first time his room is verified to be connected to the basement. This fact is revisited in [[nightlife]].

===Goofs===
*If you look closely at the TV in the Easter egg when the camera is focusing on Strong Bad, the points counter is in the correct position, but, when it focuses on the TV the points counter is in the wrong position as opposed to the actual game. Also, there is no life counter as opposed to the game which, of course, has it.

===Glitches===
[[Image:Nighttime_type_highscore.png|thumb|Two digits are cut off here.]]
*You still earn points for any vehicle that passes your wrecked vehicle.
*You can crash 2–3 times in rapid succession yet only lose one life (in other words, crashing, then immediately crashing again).
*The game sometimes loads data where the green cars always drive on the right side of the road (from your perspective), and the trucks swerve left, then right, meaning if you stay in the left lane, you'll never die. This is more likely to happen in the Flash file.
*Right-click and deselect play for unlimited lives. When you run out of lives, your lives will show as "-" and you can keep playing. Select "play" again to get the "game over" screen.
**Sometimes while exploiting this glitch, some vehicles will never appear.
*If you untick play at the game over screen, it goes to the Easter Egg, no matter what score you obtained.
*If you get over 100,000 points, the score will appear to reset to 10,000. This is due to the game only displaying the first five digits in the score; the counter still has the actual score stored.
**When you access the high-score Easter egg, if your score is over 100,000, Strong Bad's score will appear to be the same as yours due to this glitch, unless you highlight the score, revealing the digits after the first 5.
*If you crash into another car, and a drunk driver is there, the drunk driver will crash even though you didn't hit it.

===Inside References===
*The source of the Easter egg is the [[Strong Bad Main Page]], where he brags that he's got the high score of 50,000 points, and challenges you to beat it.
*The "Drunk Drivers" are examples of [[alcohol]].

===Real-World References===
*The game itself is based on the [[Atari 2600]] game "[[Wikipedia:Night Driver|Night Driver]]", which in turn was based on the 1976 arcade game of the same name.
*Strong Bad beating the player's high score by one point when the player scores more than 50,000 point may be a reference to the Marathon Man in [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time]]. The Marathon Man will challenge Link to a race from the Gerudo Valley to the Kokiri Forest and when Link finishes, the Marathon Man always beats him by one second.

Talk:Reynold

YK — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 01:42:35 GMT

YK: /* Blank */ Reply.

Wait a minute. Isn't his name reynolds?

:Nope. See the package in the Easter egg at the end of [[Cheat Commandos (toon)]] for the proper spelling.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 23:59, 27 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Two homes ==

Does anyone agree that Reynold resides in the CC base, however his extreme apartment and house (the one with the brother) are two different places - the apartment being perhaps a place to be away from him?
:The house belongs to his parents, I believe. The apartment has yet to make an appearance in the animated Cheat Commandos universe (although it does exist in the action figure universe). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Radar? ==

Is it me or does Reynold remind anyone else of [[Wikipedia:Radar O'Reilly|Radar]] from M*A*S*H?

== Snow Job ==

I never watched GI Joe (my mother bought me Ken instead), but I watched Robot Chicken make fun of it a while back and it involved them pulling a prank on some guy named Snow Job. Is he the guy that Reynold is a parody of? <strike>In other news, will I always have to enter image codes now or is it part of a prank?</strike> [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 22:53, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

== Tie ==

Is it really a fake tie, or is it a clip-on? I'd argue that those are 2 different things. [[User:Van Mundegaarde|Van Mundegaarde]] 01:04, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

:"Fake tie" is printed on [[:Image:Reynold_Action_Figure.PNG|the box]]. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 01:27, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

== Scrawn-job ==

Now that Reynold is evil, should we make another page? or add it to this one. -Accountless avenger AWAY!
:No, not really. He'll be back to normal soon. And get an account. {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 01:10, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
:: The annony may be right. While his name may be ridiculous and mocking to us real users, he brings up a point: he is evil. I say we divide the page into two sections, one for good Reynold and one for Scrawnjob. That is, if he appears again. Until we receive confirmation either way I say we make a section depicting his evil side, as well as a backstory to this. He really was considering joining Blue Laser before he was busted out by Daddy Gunhavy. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 21:29, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
::: I take the exact opposite view: we should treat this as a one-time joke unless and until it comes up again. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:35, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
:::: I read your comment too late, and added it anyway. Sorry. Oh well, if you'd like we can keep it. Or not. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 21:45, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
::::: I think it may be worth bolding the first time the name Scrawnjob appears in the article. That's all the attention the persona needs, I think. [[User:BiggerJ|BiggerJ]] 04:15, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
Could someone perhaps upload a picture of Scrawnjob? I think that's just as deserving to be in the article as "Reynold without his glasses". [[User:Monkeytender|Monkeytender]] 23:35, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

== Blank ==

someone without an account (not me) blanked the page. i fixed it [[Special:Contributions/75.58.18.250|75.58.18.250]] 01:28, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
:Run-of-the-mill vandalism. You neither need to report it nor say anything to the vandal. Just revert it as you just did, and that'll be good enough. -{{User:YK/sig}} 01:42, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

User:DorianGray/Analysis of Homsar's Speech Patterns

YK — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 05:29:07 GMT

YK: undid revision 688776; How?

{{tbd}}
'''Homsar's speech patterns''' are quite unusual, and many believe that his strange way of speaking is the result of a mental disorder such as [[Wikipedia:Word salad (mental health)|word salad]], a condition in which sentence structure and grammar are intact, but individual words are picked at random and have no particular meaning. This article pulls together all of the things [[Homsar]] has said since his introduction in the [[Homestar Runner universe]], identifies the context of each line, and determines whether or not the line qualifies as a word salad.

== Homsar's Speech in Chronological Order ==

{| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 width="100%" style="border-collapse:collapse"
|-------------------------------------------------- bgcolor=#eeeeee
! Quote !! Toon !! Context !! Comments
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Uhdyeah, what ees it, Strong Bayaad?"
| Email [[homsar]] (2001)
| Responding to [[Strong Bad]], who had just gotten his attention.
| This is a simple greeting.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "DaAAahhh, hello, [[Marzipan|Marzypa-yun]]. It's Homsar! Dahhh, I was just calling to thank you for the flowers you sent me while I was in the hospital. Daahh, I'm feeling much better now, but I still can't feel my leeegs. Okay, bye-dee-bye."
| [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0]] (Oct. 15, 2001)
| Homsar has presumably recovered from having the [[Heavy Lourde]] dropped on him.
| Homsar speaks in basically perfect (if exaggerated) English in this message.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
|
*"I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for some candy today!"
*"YaAaAaAh, I'm the original ladies' man!"
*"If you give me a treat, make sure that it's sweet, and I'll eeeat iiiiiit..."
*"Oh no, I think this is my favorite!"
| [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]] (Oct. 27, 2001)
| Homsar's intro, and then his lines after being handed Shavin' Creem, black and orange taffy, and a wrench, respectively.
| His intro is a paraphrasing of the catch phrase of [[Wikipedia:J. Wellington Wimpy|Wimpy]], the character from the [[Wikipedia:Popeye|Popeye]] cartoons (who he is dressed as), namely "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today." His responses to the treats are strange, but not completely random.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
|
*"Oh no! You shanked my Jengaship!"
*"AaAaAaAaAaAaA! Hey, Tubbs! I just lost my Jengajam."
| [[Where's The Cheat?]] (Feb. 25, 2002)
| Homsar is playing Connect Four with [[Strong Sad]], then speaks to [[Bubs]] when he enters the room.
| Homsar's line does reference two games, although not the one he is actually playing, Connect Four, as Strong Sad observes. He doesn't quite get Bubs' name right.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaAaAaAaAaAaA!!! I'm saving the best for last!"
| Email [[your friends]] (Oct. 14, 2002)
| During the montage, Strong Bad buries Homsar and covers him with scorpions, which begin to crawl into his mouth.
| It is debatable whether Homsar's phrase has any connection to his predicament. If it is connected, it would seem to imply that he enjoys eating scorpions.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
|
* "I'm the ghost of Christmas past."
* "And also with you."
| [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]] (Oct. 29, 2002)
| [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] and [[The Cheat]] walk up to Homsar, whose "pumpkin" is an eggplant with a spoon taped to it.
| Homsar's first response references ''A Christmas Carol'', while his second line is a common response in many religious prayers. He could be angry at Homestar, saying that he should have last place too. Both have some connection to the scene, and neither one is a word salad.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "When can we start the Jeffersons?"
| [[Strong Sad's Lament]] (Nov. 18, 2002)
| Strong Sad mentions in his journal this was all Homsar said to him that day.
| The context is unknown. Perhaps he was commenting on how boring Strong Sad is, and expressing his desire to do something else.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Nowowowow, this is the thrill of a lifetime."
| [[Happy T!]] (Nov. 28, 2002)
| This Easter egg was found by clicking on the bottom-right corner of the page.
| The other characters all said some variation of "Happy T!", but Homsar's line could still be construed to make some sense.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I do what I'm told..."
| Email [[dragon]] (Jan. 13, 2003)
| Strong Bad had just told him to get out of his house.
| Coherent given the situation.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
|
*"AaAaAaAaAaAaA! Hey Reggie! Is that rhinoceros around?"
*"I'm a song from the sixties."
| Email [[interview]] (Feb. 10, 2003)
| These are Homsar's actual lines in this email. The other "lines" were spoken by Strong Bad.
| Homsar's first line is peculiar, but it makes enough sense that Strong Bad, as well as the viewer, can figure out that he's referring to Strong Sad. The second line is a comedic repetition of one of Strong Bad's lines.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| '''[[Toons]]:''' "ToOoOoOons!" '''[[Games]]:''' "James!" '''[[Characters]]:''' "[[Wikipedia:Kelsey Grammer|Kelsey Grammer]]!" '''[[Downloads]]:''' "Thank youuuuu." '''[[Store]]:''' "Legitimate business." '''[[Email]]:''' "AaAaAaAaAaAaA!"
| [[Homsar Main Page]] (Feb. 10, 2003)
|Homsar provides unique ways of reading the buttons.
|
*Toons: merely exaggerated pronunciation.
*Games: merely mispronounced.
*Characters: Kelsey Grammer is an actor, so it fits.
*Downloads: he could be giving thanks for receiving a download.
*Store: He is implying that the store is a "legitimate business".
*Email: He is obviously dizzy, as the area is swirling.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AAAaaaAAAaaa-I'm just in time for the murder mystery!"
| Email [[suntan]] (Jun. 16, 2003)
| A "Celebrity(?) Testimonial" of Strong Bad's Ab-Abber 2000. Homsar had used it to draw a calculator with the word "SALAd" on his shirt.
| Homsar's line does not make sense in this scene, but the sentence itself is coherent.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaAaAaAaAaAaA! Hi, Wonder Mike! I'm Homsar! The captain of the gravy train. Climb aboard! '''I've brought my best foot flowered... Pshoooo!''' Sure beats breaking up with me. Don't look now! I'm just a friendly reminder. AaAaAaAaAaAaA! AaAaAaAaAaAaA! Think I won the Powerball."
| [[Homsar#Character Video Transcript|Homsar's Character Video]] (Jul. 14, 2003)
| Homsar introduces himself.
| "I've brought my best foot flowered", if taken at face value, is a prime example of a word salad — the sentence makes no sense either in context or by itself, and yet is still syntactically valid. However, Homsar might have meant to say "forward" instead of "flowered", which would make the sentence make much more sense. The rest of Homsar's video is made up of coherent but disconnected sentences that each make sense by themselves. If there were such a thing as a "sentence salad", this would be it. It is possible, however, that he simply wasn't sure what he should be saying.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I'm crying on the inside..."
| Email [[impression]] (Aug. 25, 2003)
| Homsar had just been disqualified from the Strong Sad Lookalike Contest because he was mistaken for Strong Sad.
| This line makes sense for two reasons: It's something Strong Sad would likely say, and Homsar himself may have been sad that he was disqualified.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaAaAa! I'm open for interpretation!"
| [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]] (Oct. 29, 2003)
| Homsar's secret costume, Slash from Guns N' Roses.
| Could be reinterpreted as "What do you think of my costume?" In addition, this could be a reference to whether his sudden appearance in the cartoon has any significance to the story.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "You gotta get yours, I gotta get mine."
| Email [[army]] (Jan. 5, 2004)
| Responding to Homestar's call to action for the [[Homestarmy]].
| This line makes some sense in this context — it could be construed that Homsar really is in the Homestarmy for personal reasons.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I'm forever your girl."
| Email [[different town]] (Feb. 23, 2004)
| Spoken as [[Different Town Character Variations|Modestly Hot Homsar]]. It should be noted that this took place in Strong Bad's imagination.
| This phrase makes perfect sense, considering that Homsar was just transformed into a female figure.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "It's time for tasteball!"
| Email [[theme park]] (May 25, 2004)
| Giving information to Homestar Runner.
| This one is a close call. On the one hand, the viewer is left wondering exactly what tasteball is, but Homestar replies with "Oh crap, it's tasteball already?", indicating that it was not unexpected for Homsar to say that. Tasteball could presumably be one of their duties as mascots. On the other hand, Homsar's line may qualify as a true word salad, and Homestar's reply could just be a typical clueless reaction. As they are working at a theme park, Homsar could also be referring to amusement parks' tendencies to create unique games for their customers.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
|
*"DaAaAaA! I'm a trendy tote bag!"
*"I'm not gonna lie to you, that's a healthy piece of real estate!"
*"That's a real popular song! Who wants to hear of it fifty times more?"
| Email [[for kids]] (Aug. 9, 2004)
| Homsar on his kids' show, ''[[Whaddaya Know, Haddi-Man?]]''
| "I'm a trendy tote bag" makes some sense in context, because Homsar is appearing on a public television show, and tote bags are among the most common free gifts given by public television stations in pledge drives. His line about real estate (referring to the letter G) makes a small amount of sense in context. His last line is strongly connected to the scene, in which they had just finished singing "Stave It Off, 1-2-3".
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I blew it, man. I lose my touch."
| [[Halloween Fairstival]] (Oct. 29, 2004)
| This was a line spoken by Kumar from ''Bottle Rocket'', which was Homsar's costume.
| This makes sense because he's quoting the character upon which his costume is based.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
|
*"Alms for the pudgy! Alms for the pudgy."
*"You're a real state trooper."
| [[Homestar Presents: Presents]] (Dec. 20, 2004)
| Homsar is running a donation station, and Homestar stops by, spits in the donation can, then leaves again.
| Homsar's first line is a take on "Alms for the poor", a common greeting for beggars, panhandlers, and donation takers. The second line is an odd way of saying "thanks". Both make sense.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I'm the human wedgie."
| Email [[origins]] (Jan. 31, 2005)
| Homsar was glued to Marzipan as a prank.
| This line seems to indicate that Homsar is aware of his predicament, but it doesn't really relate all that well. However, "The Human (noun)" is a pretty common way to describe one's self performing the function of an inanimate object — for example, "The Human Cannonball" — and this could be akin to his calling himself "The Human Prank".
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Caramel corn for president, please."
| Email [[rampage]] (Apr. 11, 2005)
| Homsar gives "praise" to Strong Sad at his Poetry Slam.
| As praise, this sentence makes little sense. On its own, it also doesn't make much sense, though it is fairly close to "Kernel/Colonel Corn", which is a common joke. It may be a stretch to call this a word salad.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I'm just me, can't you see? I'm just a silly little bumblebee."
| Email [[record book]] (Jul. 25, 2005)
| Sung while jumping up and down on one foot with nine pieces of chewing gum on his face. Coach Z did the same thing moments before in order to win a record, but Strong Bad told him that there were no records for something that no one else would ever do.
| There are two possible explanations for this. The more likely explanation is that Homsar actually does jump up and down on one foot with nine pieces of chewing gum on his face while singing the "I'm Just Me" song on a regular basis, which is ironic, since Strong Bad had just said that no one else would ever do that. The other is that Homsar is mimicking Coach Z, although this is not nearly as likely, as it isn't nearly as bizarre as the former explanation, and is therefore incongruous with Homsar's character.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
|
*"AaA, get consummate."
*"I'm pleasant!"
| [[Rock_Opera_(karaoke)#Easter_Eggs|Karaoke version of "Rock Opera" (alternate take)]] (Jul. 25, 2005)
| Sung as part of the alternate take on Strong Bad's rock opera, whose lyrics consists of one word from each of his then-125 emails.
| These quotes make perfect sense because both phrases refer to the words representing the emails [[japanese cartoon]] and [[dragon]], and [[crying]] and [[for kids]], respectively, in the actual email.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Location, location, location!"
| [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]] (Nov. 1, 2005)
| Homsar dresses up as Tingle from the Legend of Zelda series. He says this after Homestar rejects his "choices".
| Homsar's quote here is a common phrase used in real estate (the three most important things). It does make some sense when paired with his costume, as [[Wikipedia:Tingle|Tingle]] sold maps to Link in his debut in [[Wikipedia:Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]].
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Let's sing a song of Pennzoil!"
| [[Fall Float Parade]] (Nov. 21, 2005)
| Two Homsars drive through the parade.
| Could be construed as a product endorsement, or as a humorous reference to product endorsement, since Pennzoil has sponsored many such parades in the real world. Also, Pennzoil is an oil used in automobiles, and the Homsars are driving cars.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I'm a little light in the leftovers!"
| [[Weclome Back]] (Jul. 3, 2006)
| Homsar says this while standing on a merchandise table.
| Homsar takes a common phrase and substitutes a random word — something he does fairly often. This sentence could be construed to mean "I don't have much leftover stuff", or "I'm not very smart". It should also be noted that being "a little light in the '''loafers'''" is a common euphemism for homosexuality. The phrase itself, when put into context, is likely Homsar's way of saying that the merchandise is a limited time offer, or he simply ran out.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "This dinner party is top dollar!"
| [[cliffhangers]] (Sept. 18, 2006)
| Homsar says this while hanging off a cliff by a rope.
| Not exactly appropriate given the situation, but he does acknowledge that he is at a gathering. It could also be inferred that he likes hanging upside-down. Additionally, he could be referencing the King of Town's tendency to eat random things. It is also possible that Strong Bad convinced both Homsar and the King of Town that he was taking them to a dinner party, which would have made sense to the King of Town.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Eggs tree, eggs tree! This get-up is mah get down!"
| [[Happy Hallow-day]] (Oct. 30, 2006)
| Homsar is holding a newspaper with the headline "Eggs Tree! Eggs Tree!"
| "Eggs Tree" sounds like the way Homestar pronounced "extree" earlier in the toon, albeit broken up into words. Plus, during this scene he's standing next to a tree full of actual eggs. "This get-up is mah get down" refers to when Homestar says that the Newspaper Boy outfit was NOT his Halloween costume. The opposite is the case for Homsar.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Well, hello, chocolate cake!"
| [[strong badathlon]] (Jan. 29, 2007)
| Homsar and Marzipan are having a tea party when The Cheat, covered in [[whatsit]], comes flying through the air and lands on the table.
| This line makes some sense in this context, since chocolate and whatsit are both brown in color. Another way this line could make sense is that "chocolate cake" can be used as a term of endearment. It is also possible that Homsar could be referring to the shape of The Cheat as a piece of chocolate cake.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaAaAh! My cheese is 50 cent!"
| [[Who Said What Now?]]
| This is Homsar's quote for the game.
| Since all of the character quotes in the game reflect the character in some way, this quote makes sense, since Homsar's character that of a non-sequitor.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "These Easter pants are getting way too tight."
| [[DNA Evidence (toon)|DNA Evidence]] (May 15, 2007)
| This is Homsar's reply to Strong Sad, when the latter asks the former if he will say anything at the end of the toon.
| There are a couple of things this line could reference: Homsar's occasional appearances in [[Easter egg]]s, and the common running gag of [[pants]]. Perhaps Homsar is somewhat dazed by Strong Sad's long exposition and is uttering whatever is on his mind. It could also mean that he feels pressure from Strong Sad after witnessing such an out-of-character revelation from him, and wishes to remove himself from the uncomfortable situation or change the subject. It could also be referring to himself, "The Human Wedgie". Another explanation is he refers to secrets as "easter pants" (hence the term EASTER egg) and he can't keep much more of them.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Ennn-joy!"
| [[160 Seconds]] (Jun. 5, 2007)
| The English-speaking males take turns reading the introduction of the video.
| This quote makes perfect sense because they hope the viewers like the video.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaAaAaAaA! Don't count on it, monster may-an!"
| [[mini-golf]] (Aug. 13, 2007)
| Homsar's response to Strong Bad while floating through the air above [[Sweet Puttin' Cakes]], when Strong Bad asked the [[Drive-Thru Whale]] "Homsar, is that you?"
| This would appear to make literal sense, as Homsar is not inside the Drive-Thru Whale, though he appears to have given Strong Bad another new nickname.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I'm a touchy feely-holic!"
| [[Jibblies 2]] (Oct. 29, 2007)
| Homsar's response to the [[Horrible Painting]].
| This response makes sense in reference to his costume, the "Noony Noony Noo" Typewriter Guy and can be interpreted as "I like using myself to type."

| "I'm a long-standing munch date!"
| [[Where's The Cheat? (game)]] (Nov. 12, 2007)
| Strong Bad meets Homsar in a secret room.
| This would make sense if Homsar felt he was waiting too long for someone to access his Easter Egg.

| "My name's Millions, and I'm the son of a Chipwich!"
| [[fan club]] (Jan. 28, 2008)
| Homsar's response to Strong Sad's mentioning of the ongoing debate of the non sequitur championship.
| This makes perfect sense as a response to the mentioning of non sequiturs, one of which this definitely is. Homsar's first line may also be him trying to introduce himself to Strong Sad's [[The Deleteheads|fan club]].

| "AaaAAaaaaAaaa! Step right up! I'm a crudely drawn cupcake! Don't forget your tapesicle!"
| [[Homestar Ruiner]] (Aug. 11, 2008)
| This is the message you receive when you call Homsar using Homestar's cell phone.
| Homsar does something he does fairly often. When he doesn't really have anything to communicate, he just draws something out of mid-air, however he does have the shape of a "crudely drawn cupcake". "Don't forget your tapesicle" is a word salad, or may simply be a reminder for the caller to leave a message.

| "DaaAAAAAaaa! I'm the buttersilk pancake!"
| [[Make a Scene with Telltale: Strong Bad Edition]] (Aug. 31, 2008)
| This is Homsar's comment on the pancake that everyone else is discussing.
| This makes sense in that everyone is talking about the pancake the King of Town is supposedly making. It may be implied that Homsar himself is the pancake and Homestar's follow-up line about him affirming this supports this.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Daaah, I'm a knock knock joke about jogging suits!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| This is what Homsar usually says when you try to talk to him.
| This sounds like a word salad, however, when Strong Bad gains the ability to understand Homsar this is translated into "Hello, Strong Bad. What's the haps?"
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Pucker up, Dice Man! I'm as upholstered as I wanna be!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| Homsar usually says this when Strong Bad asks him to join Strong Badia.
| At first glance this may seem like a word salad (with Strong Bad hoping he's not Diceman), but Homsar could be rejecting Strong Bad's offer. When Strong Bad can understand Homsar, this is translated as "Why should my people risk open war for you and your considerable style?"
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaAaAaAaA, try some caked-on makeup from yesteryear!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| This is what Homsar says when Strong Bad asks him about "that rock with the glowy popsicles stickin' out of it."
| Homsar apparently responds to Strong Bad's question, and if a Homsartifact is inserted in the pylon, "caked-on makeup" is translated to "assemble the sacred elemental items."
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Sign me up for soccer class, Debra!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| Homsar's response to Strong Bad attempting to speak in Homsar's language.
| It may seem like a word salad, but when Strong Bad speaks Homsar's language after being enlightened to Homsar's ways, it is translated as "Why are you talking gibberish Strong Bad? You sound like a two-years old boy."
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Hotel coupons for dinner again?"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| | Homsar's response to Strong Bad when he shows Homsar one of the Homsartifacts.
| Like the other responses from Strong Badia the Free, this sounds like a word salad, and has yet to be translated, but is probably Homsar trying to tell Strong Bad to put it in the "pylon."

| "Daaaahhhh, I'm the local Leroy!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| Homsar's response in Strong Bad's prep talk to the latter's line, "Have something to share with the rest of the class?".
| This likely counts as a word salad, but may mean that Homsar is willing to go to battle in the Homestarmy.

| "Daaaahhh, this mustard is just like paradise!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| Homsar's response to being in the Fog of War during the Maps and Minions game.
| Homsar is claiming that he doesn't mind being inside the fog. The term "mustard" may refer to "mustard gas", meaning that Homsar may think that the Fog of War is a mustard gas cloud, and he doesn't mind it.

*"Daaah, no thanks, officer! I've got one big round one!"
*"AaAaAa! I'm the long way back from naptime!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| Homsar's response to Strong Sad's droning in the Maps and Minions game.
| While they appear to be word salads, like everything else Homsar says in the game, they mean something else. In this case, Homsar is probably telling Strong Sad that he is not afraid and is taking the King of Town ("the one big round one") back to the Castle. He also seems to know that he is talking to a law enforcement officer. Alternatively, he could be talking to Strong Bad, saying he doesn't need help and he'll keep Strong Sad (the one big round one) occupied for him. "I'm the long way back from naptime" may be a threat to knock Strong Sad out.

| "Here comes the yogurt patrol!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)

| "[[Pie|Piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie]]!"
| [[Baddest of the Bands]] (Oct. 27, 2008)
| Homsar screams this while being electrocuted at the DOI concert.
| Homsar was in distress, and likely shouted the first thing that came to mind.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaAaAah leave my itch machine on pause mostly!"
| [[Baddest of the Bands]] (Oct. 27, 2008)
| Homsar's response to Strong Bad asking why he's still on stage after the concert.
| The "itch machine" in question may be Homsar's theremin, as it somewhat resembles a scratching post. On a related note, "itch machine" is one of the possible things Homsar will pick for what the "I" stands for in DOI.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaAaAah'm the Captain Caveman of the graveyard train!"
| [[Most in the Graveyard]] (Oct. 30, 2008)
| Homsar speaks this line disguised as Captain Caveman, popping out from behind a grave.
| This sentence makes perfect literal sense on its own, and is also a reference to his character video, in which he refers to himself as the "captain of the gravy train."
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "You bring the dip, I'll mow the side yard."
| [[Career Day]] (Mar. 10, 2009)
| Homsar says this when Strong Bad as Space Captainface announces to talk about his career in space travel.
| This sentence may likely refer to Homsar's reaction to Strong Bad's description of his career, similar to Strong Mad and Homestar's respective initial negative reactions to him.

*"Yes it does!"
*"GrRrRraaauuughnck there, Rubbermaid, can you redirect me to the nearest pukevalanche?"
| Email [[dictionary]] (Sep. 1, 2009)
|
*Homsar telling Strong Sad that his [[paunch]] does smell.
*Homsar is in [[Strong Badia]], speaking to [[the tire]] while reading Strong Bad's dictionary
| The first sentence is one of the most coherent things Homsar has said. He is saying this in time with the rest of the characters. In the second sentence, he is in Strong Badia, trying to speak Strong Badian to a "local". "Pukevalanche" is a term that Strong Bad used earlier in the email, so this may very well make sense, in the context that he actually is trying to find a "pukevalanche". "Graaauuughnck!!" is also a Strong Badian term. His name for the tire makes sense because it is most likely made of rubber.

| "My punjab has a pretty price-tag!"
| [[Doomy Tales of the Macabre]] (Oct. 29, 2009)
|Homsar is talking to either himself or the narrator ([[Strong Sad]]).
|He is called a "little weirdo", so it would make sense that he'd respond by acting as such. Punjab, as well, is a recurring character from the Little Orphan Annie comic, which he is dressed as.

== Analysis and Summary ==

As shown here, there are logical arguments for almost all of Homsar's phrases. It seems that Homsar simply has an odd and somewhat indirect way of communicating with others.

There is a pattern that appears during this analysis, however: In almost every case, if there's a strong reason for Homsar to communicate a particular concept, he'll do it unerringly — one can always tell what he means. It is when he doesn't have a particularly strong reason to communicate that his speech becomes more random. For example, if he has a request ("Is that rhinoceros around?", "That's a real popular song! Who wants to hear of it fifty times more?"), his sentence relates quite clearly to the scene, and is itself perfectly valid, even if there was a much more direct way of saying it. But in his character video, his sentences are almost completely disconnected from one another, and in [[suntan]] and [[theme park]], he had no particular reason to send a message, so he seemed to just pull a random sentence out of thin air, perhaps just so he could say something.

It seems clear that while Homsar doesn't have a strong grasp on reality, he is pretty coherent most of the time, and he can relate to other characters and his surroundings when he needs to. Looking at the definition of "word salad" as given by Wikipedia, it does not appear that Homsar suffers from this disorder — at least, not much.

However, in [[Strong Badia the Free]] it is determined that Homsar's speech is actually a well-developed language, as Strong Bad is briefly able to understand it, making Homsar's speech make perfect sense. To Strong Sad, however, the two characters appear to be speaking nonsense.
