Easter egg picture
Do we really need a picture highlighting which wood panel to click on for the Easter egg? It's really not that hard to find. Have we ever done this for any other Easter eggs? If not, it should definitely go. — It's dot com 20:49, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I dont recall ever seeing one before. In the past, a description has sufficed. -- tomstiff 20:51, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I wouldnt think it would be too important, considering that all you have to do is follow the written directions and, barring that, just hit tab to find all the clickables...I think it just adds clutter -- Tony Stony 20:52, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Since it seems to break precedent, I took the liberty of removing the picture. If the discussion here decides otherwise, it can be easily added back. -- tomstiff 20:54, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Gamble?
Why do people change "gambol" to "gamble"? Gambol means to frolic or to otherwise leap about, while gamble means to take a risk or to bet on something...as weird as senor is, don't you think gambol makes more sense here? -- Tony Stony 11:14, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Really, NEITHER word makes sense there, and "gamble" is more well-known than its homophone. --Jay (Talk) 15:21, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Gambol certainly makes more sense than gamble. However, given SC's tendancy toward malaprops he probably *did* say "gamble" instead of "gambol". -- tomstiff 17:47, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Indeed, or are you saying "Vera low prices" makes sence? Kvb 18:14, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I suppose -- Tony Stony 20:43, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- When Senor says the word, he stresses the second syllable, which leads me to believe that it is "gambol" rather than "gamble." -- jozabad 01:45, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I agree, I think Senor Malapropped a malaprop back into an appropriate, yet arcane term. He has to keep us on our toes somehow. :) MetaStar 06:19, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
On the SWF
I saw two Homestar Runners and one had a mustache. That does solve one mystery of why there were two, but, It starts are new mystery. Who is the Second Homestar Runner with the Mustache? -mitchell00 08:11, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Maybe one is the "evil" Homestar Runner from a mirror universe. — It's dot com 08:13, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- You know, I once sent Strong Bad an email about what life would be like in a mirror universe. I always sorta imagined that it would start with "Strong Good" reading the email on his fancy new computer, getting my name and the name of my town perfect, and not knowing how to answer it (because he has no confidence and believes that he has no imagination) he asks some of the other anti-characters. Then, at the last minute, it cuts to Strong Bad at his computer, making fun of my name and town and talking as though the entire rest of the email was the answer to the question. It never happened, of course, but it's something I always thought would be cool. --Jay (Talk) 08:23, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I'm amazed that no one has created an article for "Mustachioed Homestar Runner"! -- tomstiff 18:41, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Don't or It Won't?
I don't hear the necessary vowel sound for "It won't be here forever" - and although "Don't" doesn't make any sense contextually, Senor Cardgage is known for saying things like that. Thoughts? --Jay (Talk) 07:01, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I've listened to it many times, and it took me a long time to decide between "don't" and "it won't", but I think "it won't" is there, just slurred. — It's dot com 07:29, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Bubba daddy
I'm also leery about "Bubba daddy" as opposed to "papa daddy". --Jay (Talk) 07:04, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I hear an "F" sound: "Fubba Daddy". That's what I had in my transcript (you were right about my having one ready beforehand. I had been trying to upload it since midnight MDT, and you apparently beat me to the punch. Scalawag). :) — It's dot com 07:29, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- That make 3 of us... I even had it refreshing regularly in the background to jump in... but by the time it came up I saw the page had been there for half an hour... stupid uni proxy caching error pages...
On topic, I'm rather certain it's Bubbadaddy. --phlip 07:38, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

- Heh, sorry, guys. Having a fast internet connection + a small cache really comes in handy sometimes. :p --Jay (Talk) 07:41, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
My left name
I know Senor Cardgage would probably say "my left name", but I'm not sure he doesn't say the more normal "my last name". — It's dot com 07:29, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- It's not just me - several people I talked to online agreed that it was "left", and the person who changed it back to "left" wasn't me. --Jay (Talk) 07:32, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Yeah, I can hear "left". Mostly. — It's dot com 08:08, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- It's a joke, people. For example, if my name was John Doe, my left name would be John. My right name, Doe. It's just a clever way to say first name. Cheatachu72 19:36, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Gosh! It's a *joke*? Oh my stars and garters! I did *NOT* realize that. Oy. -- 19:41, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Any dang ways, it doesn't have to map to an actual part of your name for Senor to say it. He would just as easily have said it was his "front name" or "outer name" if there wasn't a malaprop to play on like "oh, I would give my left arm to do blah blah". It definately wasn't "last name". Aye me :) MetaStar 06:28, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
List of places
Do items in the list of places have to be linked? Shouldn't Balding Man's living room be in the list? — It's dot com 07:54, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Hadn't occurred to me. Feel free to add it to the list un-linked, but I'm not sure we need a page for it (for the ones that have their own pages, they should be linked.) --Jay (Talk) 07:56, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Yeah, I meant that if I added it to the list, did I then need to make a page for it (I don't think it needs one yet, either). I went ahead and added to the list unlinked. — It's dot com 08:15, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Bubs the Concession Stand
Bubs' last name could be concession stand, though we wouldn't trust him anyways... Anybody remember the SBEmail pictures from Pay-Plus? The bottom one had SB w/Concession Stand Bubs.
Although, I think others will agree Bubs in a devil suit explains a lot.
Yeah, besides this would make his last name just "Stand".. if you asume spaces on the ID card seperate names. "Concession" is just his left name.
American Football?
I'm not sure I understand why we need to note FOOTBALL as AMERICAN FOOTBALL on an AMERICAN site. I guess it's just me, but it just "sounds" (reads?) wrong! The wikipedia links point to the correct locations to clarify meaning. Would you expect a Euro-type site to change a "football" reference to "soccer" just to cater to us? I wouldn't. -- tomstiff 17:52, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- We shouldn't be so Americentric. H*R may be an American site, but wikis are not. The fact that "football" can mean more than one thing justifies the distinction. Besides, it's only called an "American football" on the first reference. The twelve other times it's mentioned, it's just called "the football," or "the ball." Down in the Fun Facts, the link is to the sport, not the ball itself, so that's a separate first reference. — It's dot com 18:04, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Blegh. It just sounds so WRONG. Alonzo Stagg is rolling in his grave at the mere mention. However, I do see your point about it being mentioned only once. -- tomstiff 18:12, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I guess I had that Gatorade commercial where one of the lines is "football is football, unless it's football" (showing football, rugby, and soccer) in mind when I helped with the transcript. Then, after reading the Wikipedia article, to me it sounded arrogant, incomplete, non-NPOV, and un-wiki-like to call it just "football" instead of "American fooball". (I'm sure Stagg was already rolling because of the first attempt at instant replay, anyway.) — It's dot com 18:38, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Odd noise
Did anyone notice besides me that during Bubs' commercial there is a weird "uhhh" noise in the back ground? -Kinsey
- Yes, that was supposed to be people growning at his horrible puns. mibluvr13 01:57, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
