<div>== The Last Starfighter ==<br />
The idea of being good enough at video games to be an astronaut might come from the scifi movie The Last Starfighter where a trailer park slacker beats an arcade machine and is recrutied as the savior of an alien race. Anybody else notice that? <br>-[[User:*_Aaron_*]]<br />
==Email Freeze==<br />
Well, thank goodness for the wiki, 'cause I never would have known what happened at the end of the email. For me, the email froze after Homestar Runner says, "I knew I should've asked the Italian space program!"<br />
[[User:RadSkat3|RadSkat3]], 20:56, 14 November 2005 (CST)<br />
:Happens to me sometimes. When it doesn't completely download before it starts playing and doesn't finish dling by the time it reaches a certain point. Usually you can wait it out, but it's probably best to just reload. --[[User:NFITC1|NFITC1]] 18:22, 15 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
*I'll give it a shot, and let you know if it works. But, mind you, this happens EVERY SINGLE TIME in the email [[website]] (it freezes when Strong Bad gets up to work on his website).<br />

*Sigh... Well, I guess I'll never be able to see the rest of this email...<br />
By the way, shouldn't the fact that there is no beep between the video game slide and the THREE O' DEMS slide be a remark, or possibly a goof? (I already changed this, but feel free to revert it if you want to.)<br />

== Bad ==<br />
Guys, I think this e-mail was kind of bad. I mean I know they only had so much time from one Monday to another, but I didn't laugh that much. {{User:H*R 700/sig}} 13:08, 14 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
:There's the forum thread for talk like this. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 13:12, 14 November 2005 (UTC)<br />

== Bad Edit ==<br />
VolatileChemical, what was the deal with [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=space_program&diff=198974&oldid=198972 this edit]? Why'd you delete all of my transcript with your own (less complete) version? The diff on the edit conflict page is there for a reason. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 13:27, 14 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
:Wait, never mind, I made a few gaffes of my own with your stuff... I think we got it all in there together though. It seems the new edit conflict detector is more tolerant than I thought... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 13:49, 14 November 2005 (UTC)<br />

== Doo/Due ==<br />

== SB's Rank ==<br />

== No Open Mic Night? ==<br />
I know it sounds random, but I was hoping for an Open Mic Night at Mission Control, just like in [[Puppet Jam: Mission Control]] with [[They Might Be Giants]]. -[[User:Jesselangham|JesseLangham]]<br />
:I agree - it would have been a nice inside reference. Perhaps a good theme song? (Actually, can anyone verify if there are any recognizeable themes in the background music during the slide show?) - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 20:50, 14 November 2005 (UTC)<br />

<br />
== Possible references for the video game ==<br />
<br />
I was just thinking about the video game pictured in the SBASAF Slide Show, and wondering if it was a reference to any game in particular. Here's what I'm thinking:<br />
<br />
* Obviously, it appears to be a fighting game, so it parodies the genre as a whole. It's not specific enough to be a reference to any particular game.<br />
** The title "Food Fight" comes to mind...<br />
* A bit of a stretch, but there could also be a vague reference to Burgertime in there.<br />
<br />
Just blabbering. Don't mind me. :) - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 20:55, 14 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
:I dunno about any references, but the ghost bears a slight resemblance to the [[Bad Graphics Ghost]], I think. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]<br />
::No, I'm pretty sure both ghosts just resemble basic "sheet" ghosts. Not each other. - {{User:Joshua/sig}}<br />
:::But TBC are notorious for references like that. And I think the background looks like a better rendering of the Atari Main Page. --[[User:NFITC1|NFITC1]]<br />
::::Yeah, I think that there is a definate reswmblance there, like it is an Atari 2600 version of the Bad Graphics Ghost, kinda like the Atari 2600 version of duck pond. --<br />
[[User:RadSkat3|RadSkat3]]<br />
<br />
== Anselmo? ==<br />
<br />
I know Strong Bad seems like a Pantera fan, but we don't know that Anselmo refers to Phil. Could be a city in Nebraska, or Anselmo Baggio, or Anselmo Lorenzo, or San Anselmo California, or just a sweet Spanish sounding name Strong Bad picked.<br />
<br />
He's more of a Limozeen fan. --{{User:The 386/sig}} 21:54, 14 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Wait... what were we talking about? I'm confused.<br />
<br />
The fun fact that claims '"The Proud Anselmo" is named for Phil Anselmo.'<br />
<br />
:See [[Template:STUFF/space program|STUFF]] - we're voting on this being a reference to Rene Anselmo, who helped start the commercial satellite industry. - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 22:00, 14 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:: (PS: Sign your posts!)<br />
<br />
::: Maybe it's both a Pantera and a satellite industry reference? The tendency on this wiki is to narrow down references to single instances. TBC are not that unidimensional.[[User:Vl-tone|Vl-tone]] 08:05, 16 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Slide Show background music ==<br />
<br />
I'm not sure the Fun Fact, "The song that plays in the background of the slideshow is the song that plays when you roll over Store and Downloads on Main Page 19." is correct. It sounds similar, but they are definitely different songs. -[[User:Jesselangham|JesseLangham]]<br />
:I agree. I don't think they are the same... I knew that Fun Fact didn't feel right:)!<br />
--[[User:RadSkat3|RadSkat3]]<br />
<br />
==Smoking==<br />
i think somthing about the narrarator talkign about "smooth and relaxing ciggerettes" should be put on the page. maybe as a reference to ciggerrete ads of the 60s and the propaganda and whatnot. its is a good reference...at least i think so..<br />
:Sounds good to me - go right ahead. (Real-World References) {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 01:19, 15 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
:: What about the Apollo-era footage of Mission Control, which almost always featured NASA's brain trust burning great fields of tobacco? There was even a line in <I>Apollo 13</I> about the ground crews "smoking like chimneys."<br />
<br />
== ______ _____face? ==<br />
<br />
Anyone else think that the name Space Captainface was rather similar to Sir Hotbod Handsomeface, another nickname Strong Bad creates for himself in TGS issue 10? I'm ambivalent about whether this is a real inside reference or not, because there are a lot of similarities but, at the same time, it COULD just be coincidence. What do you all think? 01:49, 15 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
*Nah, Strong Bad's just not entirely creative with name-creation, I think. Nor is Homestar, for that matter. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]<br />
<br />
== Pong ==<br />
<br />
The comment about a sonar "pong" not sounding different from a sonar "ping" is incorrect. If the target is moving towards the pinger, the returning "pong" will be higher pitched than the initial "ping". If the target is moving away from the pinger the "pong" will have a lower pitch than the "ping". <br />
This is due to the [http://www.usm.maine.edu/gulfofmaine-census/Docs/Technology/Doppler.htm doppler]effect. -[[User:StrongRad|StrongRad]]<br />
:The critical question, though is: is "sonar pong" a real term? Or is it just a conflation of "ping-pong" and "sonar ping"? &mdash;[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 04:51, 15 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
::I don't know about sonar, but in computing, the reply to a "Ping", which is named after the sonar term, is often called a "Pong" (indeed, that is the official name of the packet in some protocols, like IRC). Whether this is the case for sonar, formally or informally, I don't know. The [[Wikipedia:sonar|wikipedia article for Sonar]] contains "ping" but not "pong", if that means anything. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 05:16, 15 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
:::A Google search for "sonar pong" (in quotes) yields only 24 results, mostly amateur fiction. Removing the quotes yields a lot more, but none that seem to me to indicate that the term "pong" is ever (accurately) used in connection with sonar. I'm going to go ahead and delete the part about the pong not sounding like the ping, which we've established is false, but it would be nice if we could also say that the term "sonar pong" doesn't really exist. Any Navy experts out there? &mdash;[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 06:15, 15 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
::::The people I know that use SODAR (a sound based radar that's usually just above human hearing) just call it a return. They didn't make any claims about speaking for SONAR people, but they said they thought it was just called a return there, too.[[User:StrongRad|StrongRad]]<br />
<br />
:::A lot of people (and some programs) in networking use the term "pong", but it's technically incorrect, as the term doesn't officially exist in networking nomenclature. It came about due to the game "ping pong" - seemed logical at the time, and it's basically just a shorthand term. It doesn't really mean anything otherwise. - {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 17:56, 15 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
::::RFC 1459 ยง4.6.3. As I said, it's often called a "pong", and it is even the official name in a few protocols. I didn't say it was universal... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 02:01, 16 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
:::::Cool! That still doesn't address whether it's valid in connection with sonar, though. &mdash;[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 02:10, 16 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
::::::Ok let's make a list of classic sound effects that could be found on a sound f/x CD. "Sonar Ping" is a good one, it's a classic, used in movies and TV shows, and more recently on computers and cellphones. A sound from the videogame "Pong" is also often found on these CD's. Oh look there is a Ping and a Pong in the same list! If there are sonar ping then there must be sonar pongs? Even if there aren't, it's still a good joke in many ways so that's why they kept it.[[User:Vl-tone|Vl-tone]] 08:33, 16 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
:::::::Of course it's a good joke. :) What we're discussing is that the term "Sonar Pong" would be a misnomer if it were referring to the ping return. More likely, it was inserted into the list because, for most people, "pong" logically follows "ping", and I doubt TBC meant it as anything more than that. The style of this wiki, though, is to explain this sort of thing in the Fun Facts. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 18:38, 16 November 2005 (UTC)<br />

==When Sbemails cry==<br />
<br />
I'm waiting for someone to say that the opening song, "Email is the sound that we make when a young girl cries," is a reference to something. Is it simply to [[Wikipedia:When Doves Cry|When Doves Cry]]? I suspect not. It might not be a reference to anything, but I have a hunch it's to something I just don't know. &mdash;[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 04:56, 15 November 2005 (UTC)<br />

==Pun Intended?==<br />
Whether he realizes it or not, Strong Bad makes quite the pun when he says "''pretender'' of the galaxies" instead of "''defender'' of the galaxies". In societies whith monarchs, a claimant to the throne who styles themself the "true" ruler is often refered to as a "''pretender'' to the throne". Likewise, Strong Bad's whole space program is little more than make-believe. -- [[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 13:13, 15 Nov 2005 (PST)<br />
<br />
:Interesting point, though I doubt TBC thought about it that much. Also, it might be worth noting that in an easter egg in [[extra plug]], the King Of Town says "This bill is pretendous!" - I wonder if there's anything to that... {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 21:34, 15 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I always thought "Pretender" was Strong Bad attempting to combine "protector" and "defender." [[User:Rocketlex|Rocketlex]] 22:50, 15 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
::No, I'm pretty sure it's just him combining "Pretend" and "Defender" in a neat little pun. I don't think it's a reference to any medieval thing though - it's just a clever li'l word. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 02:21, 16 November 2005 (UTC)<br />

==Hi-Ball==<br />

Should we add, in the Explanations section, what a Hi-ball is, or is it to obvious in context? [[User:Lord-z|Lord-z]] 22:15, 15 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
:Not sure. It's implied (especially in [[radio]]) that a Hi-Ball is an alcoholic drink, and this could fit the theme with the guy at Mission Control smoking as well. But it's never made clear in either of these emails.

<br />
==Up Stairs and DownStairs and in his nightgown==<br />
Wait, Stux, before I go rereverting your rerevert, weren't you right the first time? From Dictionary.com:<br><br />
''1. Down the stairs: raced my friend downstairs.''<br><br />
''2. To or on a lower floor: waited downstairs while her parents were getting dressed.''<br><br />
Now technically, it sounds like it would be ''more'' appropriate if there were a sense of place (referring to a ''particular'' set of stairs, known to the speaker and the audience), but I would think this entry makes it hard to call their usage an out-and-out, verifiable "error," certainly not one deserving a Fun Fact, anyway. &mdash;[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 16:44, 21 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
:The way I read it as it should be is "body falling down ''[the]'' stairs" so the body is actively falling down the stairs -- that would make sense for a sound effect. The other way "body falling downstairs" implies that I am upstairs listening to a body falling in the floor bellow. The example sentece 1. to me, reads the same way: I'm racing my friend to the lower level. Once I realized this that's why I re-reverted. :) --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 16:48, 21 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:'''(Edit conflict)''' This is similar to the "trooper" discussion we were having in [[Talk:Coach Z]]. Here's how I understand the usage of the terms:<br />
:*'''Going downstairs''': Denotes that you're specifically going to a lower floor. Refers more to the destination than to how you get there.<br />
:*'''Going down (the) stairs''': Refers more to the fact that you're going down a flight of stairs. Does not necessarily talk about the destination.<br />
:*'''Blank stares''': What I'm probably getting right now. ;)<br />
<br />
Personally, I think "Body falling downstairs" and "Body falling down stairs" are both perfectly acceptable, though given the nature of the sound effect, "down stairs" (as in, "down some stairs") is probably more technically correct. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 16:53, 21 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:'''Edit Conflict: ''' Ugh well ok i'm not so sure now... ''but'' 1. the samples you gave me were from the ''adv.'' section, is the sound effect label also using it as an adverb? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 16:54, 21 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:: '''Edit Conflict 1: Edit conflict, too?''' Sorry, but I'm still confused. Wouldn't "'''To''' or on a lower floor" cover this? Again, that would convey a sense of place on the speaker, but would be acceptable; and in the first example, the speaker isn't referring to a floor ''below'' per se; he/she is actually transitioning floors; by the time of the comment, he/she ''is'' "downstairs." At any rate, I maintain that "down stairs" would have been preferable, but I'm not convinced it's absolutely ''wrong'' as used, at least not enough to merit a Fun Fact. &mdash;[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 16:59, 21 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::'''(Edit Conflict's Last Stand)''' More to the point: Despite its technical correctness, is it necessary to point out an error on a commonly-used term? "Downstairs" may be slang in this case, but virtually everyone uses the term to refer to both the action and the destination. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 16:59, 21 November 2005 (UTC) (Am I making any sense?)<br />
<br />
::::''' ''Not'' and edit Conflict:''' I dunno. This is an encyclopedia no? So yeah i'm kinda torn between both points: it's technically not correct (??) but it's techincally correct and used by everybody. So there's a little bit of both, and it definitely makes for an interesting party conversation. piece. Thing. Ok I g2g to class... cya! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 17:26, 21 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
:::::What's the issue here? TBC clearly use "downstairs." (See easter egg) - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 17:34, 21 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
::::::I think the issue is whether or not TBC's use of "downstairs" is correct. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 17:37, 21 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
:::::::Oh. Sorry. I thought you were wondering about what spelling to use in the transcript. Nevermind me then... - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 19:21, 21 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
I wasn't aware of this discussion when I saw the item in the fun facts, and I removed the mention. Now that I see this thread, I should at least justify my reasoning: as mentioned way above, ''downstairs'' can function as an adverb meaning "down the stairs" (by the way, dictionary.com is not a reference; the source quoted is actually the ''American Heritage Dictionary''). Hence, a body falling down the stairs is falling downstairs. It really doesn't matter that ''downstairs'' can mean any of the other things it means or that "down some stairs" might have been a better way to put it. The fact is that TBC's usage is correct and therefore unremarkable. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:43, 21 November 2005 (UTC)<br />

== not-for-profit vs. non-profit. ==<br />
<br />
''re: [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=space_program&oldid=318152 this edit], which was revised then reverted;''<br />
<br />
I left the phrase "non-profit" intact because it's the most common version, and because it's the quickest route to the relevant wikipedia article. However, I felt that it was important to include the note about the phrase "not-for-profit" meaning the same thing, not for the sake of completeness, or because it's also fairly common (which it is), but because I felt that it should be mentioned since the phrasing used in the email itself is "definitely-for-profit". I'll leave it for now because I don't want to start an edit war, I just wanted to state my case. - [[User:Uglinessman|Uglinessman]] 20:35, 2 May 2006 (UTC)<br />

:That's understandable; at first I agreed with you. But I noticed the wikipedia link offers several different versions, including "nonprofit", "not-for-profit", "non-profit", and "NPO". There's no reason to mention all of them. However you've made a good case. I can't speak for all editors, but if you want to change it back again I won't revert it. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 20:40, 2 May 2006 (UTC)<br />

Is this the first (and/or only) time a character has given a direct, numerical reference to their age? [[User:Gus|Gus]] 01:12, 26 July 2006 (UTC)<br />
