The transcript needs a lot of cleaning up. I can't do it right now but will this evening if no-one else has by then. -- Mithent 09:11, 29 Oct 2004 (MST)

Yes, please, anybody please try to clean this up. There are very clear instructions on HRWiki:Standards on how this should look. — InterruptorJones[[]]

Jones

• When the KoT asks for a "wicked mash potato Jones", he may be reffering to the popular 'Jones Soda', which has the reputation of making some very different, bizzare flavors.

A "jones" is a craving, this reference has nothing to do with the soda of the same name.-Drhaggis 09:57, 29 Oct 2004 (MST)

I agree. The KoT isn't asking for anything, he's asking if they have a craving for mashed potatoes. — InterruptorJones[[]]

Possible unneeded Fun Facts

The following posts seem unnecessary to me, what do you guys think?

• Shin Guards are used to protect shins(duh)while sparring in Karate and Kikboxing type sports. And soccer.
• The "locka-room" may be a reference to Teen Girl Squad, wherein phrases such as "Unda-Wears" appear.
• "Philly Cheat-steak" is a reference to the popular sandwich "Philly Cheese Steak".

-Your Fuzzy God

• When the the gang leaves Coach Z's "locka-room" the puddle under the drippy towel overlaps Strong Mad, even though he's in front of it.

I lifted this fun fact. True, during ONE (frame #1141 to be exact) of the 5,000 frames of this flash toon does the aforementioned "fun fact" apply...And it only applies to a mere corner of strong mad's body. So TBC didn't have their layers quite right, not significant enough for a fun fact. I took a screenshot, does anyone else agree? --Teh P. 22:35, 5 Nov 2004 (MST)

Correction: There is 10 frames where his wig is overlapped, plus 2 with his body. (The other one is one frame before the frame in your screen capure, but barely visible even if you zoom in a lot.) -Some dude with too much free time

Transcription Standards

I redid the transcript. If I did it all correct, that note can be removed. Check my work for me though, I'm pretty sure I got it all. ~Hobo|^talk

Looks good to me. Thanks! That was driving me nuts. — InterruptorJones[[]]

Couldn't the haikus be put in haiku format? As in

STRONG SAD:
This night. Black as pitch.
Doom from inside me wells up.
Pray I don't get egged.

STRONG SAD:
Rapping on the door.
Fills up aged pillow case.
So sick of smarties.

STRONG BAD:
A butt for a face.
Little brother, dork, dork, dork.
Stay out of my room.

--PrinceOfTown

Blue Star Ointment

I don't think the Blue Star Ointment thing is a reference to "Blue Stuff Ointment"; There's an actual brand of ointment called "Blue Star Ointment", which used to be heavily advertised in my part of the country. --4.8.234.95 12:50, 29 Oct 2004 (MST)

Transcript

Sorry about the mess you guys, I think I got most the content, but didn't present it properly. I'll get it right next time -Homsar

Lack Of Voting

Aww man, how come we don't get to vote for our favorite costume?? King Of Town deserves to win!

M�tley Cr�e?

Someone fun-facted a "Witched Br�e" to "M�tley Cr�e" reference, which someone else wiped out saying it could be a reference to any number of bands with umlauts. While this may be, I think that the "Crew" ==> "Cr�e" and "Brew" ==> "Br�e" comparison is valid. -PrinceOfTown

Bear-Shark

This was previously one of the fun facts: "This is more nitpicky than anything else, but if Strong Bad wanted to scare the hiccups out of The Cheat, why didn't he just use the bear-shark from Strongbadia? That always terrifys the little yellow squeaky guy to no end." It was pretty clear that Strong Bad just wanted to make good use of the halloween festivities, plus one would think that's where they were already headed. Also, this really is just too nitpicky to matter. -Ogog

Belching Noises

First of all, they were supposed to be barfing noises because Strong Bad just said that "it's about to give me the throw-ups," and second of all, I don't think they sound anything like the ones in TGS 7. Those were more like gulping sounds. - Miss Free Country USA
