Wherfore art thou Cory?

Oughtn't Cory to be a Running Gag? A cursory search turns up:

• 12:00
• cheat talk
• Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 11.2
• That A Ghost
• Main Page 22
• also Fan Stuff, but that doesn't really count. —AbdiViklas 05:17, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

Ok. let's review: 12:00 and cheat talk: It's the sender's name, already listed on Strong Bad Email By Name.

Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 11.2: Legit sightning.

That A Ghost:Another legit sightning.

Main Page 22: An Inside References to That A ghost. Not legit.

So actualy we have just two legit sightnings of the smae name. Not a running joke. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 05:24, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

And another think to different it from Jerome, is that it have no character interaction. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 05:25, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

Question answered! —AbdiViklas 05:29, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

Diapers

I think diapers should be a running gag or an Inside Reference. A search shows that diapers (especially diaper school) is on H*R eight times. Salty^Talk! 03:34, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

I don't even want to know why you were searching that. ;) But it sounds like a doable page... Let's see what others think. --DorianGray

Is there more than diaper school and Reynold's "diaper biscuits"? Those alone probably wouldn't convince me, but if there's more, it might. Heimstern Läufer 07:22, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

• In i rule, he claims to have owned Strongbadia since diaper school.
• The page title of Teen Girl Squad Issue 7 is "Diaper school grads!"
• In the Homestar Quiz, if you get 7 answers correct, Strong Bad says "Sweetheart, wake up! It's time for diaper school...."
• In the Homestar Quiz, if you get 3 or 4 answers right, he says "...I know kids in diaper school that are smarter than you, man!"
• Strong Sad wears a diaper in A Decemberween Pageant.
• In secret recipies, Homestar wants to make "Stupid Uncle Egg's Goodtime Diaper Pie".
• Lil' Strong Bad had the record for the "Dirtiest Diapey" and wore a diaper in record book.
• In a TrogdorCon '97 Easter Egg, Strong Bad says "Man if I see another person in a diaper..."
• In Commandos in the Classroom, Reynold tried to swear and says "Diaper biscuits".
• In a colonization Easter Egg, Homestar says diapers will no longer be valid as legal tender.
• In Peasant's Quest, you can get the Baby Lady to say something about her baby's diapers if you ask about smell.
• In Halloween Potion-ma-jig, if you chose to sing a song to Bubs, the lyrics will be something about diapers.

That's 11/12 legit diaper articles. Salty^Talk! 18:11, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Hmm, that does seem legit to me. Anybody else agree? Heimstern Läufer 18:23, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

It's been made. And for quite a while now. — _talk Bubsty _edits 23:32, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes, Bubsty, that's right. The Diapers article was created on 21 December 2005 because of this discussion. -- Tom 02:41, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Hmm... I wonder who made it... — Has Matt? (talk) 03:56, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

I hate to make this an issue, Bubsty, but this is a good example of the problem with replying to discussions that have passed their expiration date. You thought you were pointing out that this discussion was way after-the-fact, thinking the page had been around for several months before the discussion. In fact, it was the other way 'round; the page was created after the discussion—as a result of it—and the only thing on this page that postdated the creation of Diapers was your edit. So rather than pointing out the untimeliness of others' discussion, you in fact created it. —AbdiViklas 04:50, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

I was just pointing out to users/IPs who read this page that it has been made and there was no need to reply... went the other way around I see. — _talk Bubsty _edits 05:13, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
