We don't have filmographies where I come from, rumble...

Just as a clarification: If a picture of a established character appears in a cartoon (such as Homsar in Ever and More! or Rumble Red in mini-golf), they shouldn't be added to the filmography, just mentioned either in the transcript or Remarks as appropriate? We are only counting if they are "physically" there or not, right? wbwolf (t | ed) 14:39, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Right. — It's dot com 14:51, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Flavored water

the recent change i made has be deleted. your reason for doing so was " is "both" a reference, or just a remark?"

i had it under trivia. — Clergyman (Talk | contribs) (left unsigned)

The way he says "both" does not really sound like "flavored water" from rough copy, so it's not a reference nor is it remarkable. — It's dot com 14:57, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Monster Man?

I think Homsar says "Monster Myers" not "Monster Man".

I pretty distinctly hear "Monster Man". Homsar just puts unnecessary dipthongs in his speech, along with all of his other weird speech patterns. --Jay (Gobble) 17:12, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I hear Monster ma-yan, which is just monster man. Okay.-That same guy that originally asked this

I heard Monster may-an. Awexome 22:23, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Um... Call me crazy, but I keep hearing Munster Man.--Antisexy 01:38, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

I second that. —Einstein runner () 03:55, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

I transcribed the easter egg and I also think it sounds a little more like Munster man. Nevertheless, "monster man" makes a bit more sense in context (to the extent than anything Homsar says makes sense in context). I won't complain if anyone opts for "Munster" instead.--Bobo the King 07:49, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

power of 10

10^10 would equal 10,000,000,000 and Homestar's birdie would be 9,999,999,999 putts. Worth a mention??

Probably not. The terms are already explained on the page, and the par of 10¹⁰ is on the Sweet Puttin' Cakes page. wbwolf (t | ed) 16:42, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Kosmik/Cosmic Bowling

"Kosmik (or Cosmic) Bowling is a promotion where fluorescent pins, black lights, and loud music are used on the lanes. " is this really a widespread name? I've heard blacklight bowling be called 4 or 5 different names. I think this is probably what they call it at one particular bowling alley that the guy who added this went to -JamesDean 17:33, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Looking at the Wikipedia page for bowling, Cosmic bowling is indeed one of many names for the same promotion, including Xtreme bowling. I think, however, that it is common enough that it is not limited to just one bowling alley. I've heard it called "Cosmic bowling" at some of the lanes locally, for example. wbwolf (t | ed) 17:38, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Should it be a real world reference or an explainaton? Awexome 03:35, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Homsar's Hat

Is it worth noting that Homsar's hat left his head without coming back again? It just happened last time in the paper, where it was noted in the Trivia section. Pdkauffmann 18:53, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

In origins and the paper, it landed on someone else. This is the first time that it just vanished. Mayhaps the strange laws of physics in Sweet Puttin' Cakes interfere with Homsars own strange laws of physics. But anyway, isn't his hat flying off his head the kind of thing that gets mentioned in the transcript?--Antisexy 21:48, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

No back button?

Is it on purpose that there is no "back" button at the end of this sbemail?

I doubt it, as it has only just been released. Also, please sign your posts using for tildes (~). Awexome 22:39, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

There is no escaping the Sweet Puttin' Cakes email. You just have to will yourself back to the sbemail nav page.--Bobo the King 07:51, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Speaking backwards

It's cute and all to write Strong Bad's backwards speech reversed letter for letter in the transcript, but it doesn't really do any good. Anyone actually reading the transcript would probably be confused and have to figure it out, which is not something we should aim for. On top of that, it's not accurate just to write the letters backwards, because you wouldn't actually pronounce the phrase that way. When watching the toon, the impression you get as you hear Strong Bad speak is, "hmm, he's speaking backwards", but you can't tell what he's saying unless you edit the sound later. Thus, "{speaking backwards}" should be sufficient to get the point across. Note that we do decode what he says in the Trivia section. — It's dot com 01:02, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

But we wrote Strong Bad's backwards talking siht ekil on this page. --Trogga 01:58, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Putt-Putt

Is putt-putt an explaination or a real world reference? Awexome 03:57, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Putt-putt is a name for mini golf. The "golf-golf" bit is a reference to "putt-putt". - Qermaq - (^T/C)  04:01, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

This explaination is very poorly worded. Putt-Putt is a chan of mini-golf establishments and is more of a "brand" of mini-golf than it is a different name for it. This is much like how a Kleenex is a facial tissue but not all facial tissues are Kleenex, even though they have come to be known as such. 68.99.55.96 12:43, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

I Was Just Wondering If...

It seems to me like there are enough mentions of this phrase (I was just wondering if...) to constitute its own page

Dear 75.30.148.60, I was just wondering if you're going to do-sum-bow-dat, or if you expect anyone to do it at all? 68.124.65.8 17:21, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

New Music?

Is it worth noting that this sbemail has a new track for the background music of the "sweet cuppin' cakes" universe? mostly irrelevant, but I love how atmospheric and ambient the music sounds. -The_Fifth_Grade

I noticed it and thought it was awesome. I think it should be noted. If not here, then on the Sweet Puttin' Cakes page. Something like "The music in Sweet Puttin' Cakes is slightly diffrent than the music that plays in other Sweet Cuppin Cakes toons. There are a few more synth pad (or somethin') tracks, and the main melody is thinned out a little.(or somethin')"--Antisexy 05:29, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Fork of a Pork?

Coach Z's line, currently transcribed as "Fork of a Pork", doesn't sound like fork of a pork, in fact when slowed down and analysed, the first syllable is clearly "G" and not "F". It sounds more like "Gorkafabork". I don't think it was supposed to be intelligible. Slow it down and listen to it; you'll see what i mean

Easter Eggs

Could we possibly add in more of an explanation for the score card easter eggs, or some pictures? CloneWarrior 18:47, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
