Ooh. This has a "rejects" link. What to do? ~ AgentSeethroo

Just remove the "Rejects/". Everything gets its own page. Check out the other mods I made, you'll see. We also need to figure out the format of the page title and stuff. And I thin that summary might be too long... -- Tom 13:18, 5 Aug 2004 (MST)

I moved it

Please forgive me if the deed was rash, but I moved the page to capitolize "The Cheat" in the title. TBC is ambigous on this, they say "Where's the Cheat" in the toon itelf, but "Where's The Cheat" on the toons menu. What tipped my scale was the pervasive capitolizing and name-izing of "The" in "The Cheat" everywhere else, as though "The" is not used as an indefinate article at all.

What does it mean by the "old pop-up menu"? 209.221.24.138 18:32, 21 Dec 2004 (MST)

It refers to the menu that pops up when you move your cursor toward the bottom of the toon. It has basically the same buttons as the main pages, with a few extra. --Lyzz~ 18:39, 21 Dec 2004 (MST)

Closed fun facts

These were on the STUFF page and closed. If you wish to contest these, leave a note here, but don't allow it to be confused with any of the original votes.

Fat Cheat (declined)

according to the Cheats hieght and weight his Body Mass Index is 64.6 normal weight is between 18.5 and 24.9 and obesity starts at 30 homestarkid09

  • Decline. You used bad grammar and bad spelling. The Cheat is not a human, so BMI doesn't apply to him. Would you use BMI to see if a dog is overweight? Rainer

Where's The Cheat? (declined)

In the beginning of the toon when Homestar is spreading the marshmallow spread on the veggie burger, the spread changes everytime he spreads it. Thought it was an interesting detail.

Note: this submission created the section on STUFF, but named it incorrectly as "Where The Cheat Is At?". This is referenced at least once in the votes below.

  • Decline and also, who cares?! And sometimes Homestar's shirt is a lighter shade of blah blah blah. Fun facts are meant to be FUN, okay? You didn't even get the name of the cartoon right! Donny vs Universe
  • Decline - yeah, it's a nice detail, but not really all that worth mentioning; too minor. (And Donny, nothing personal, but that was pretty harsh, man. Might want to tone down before we hurt someone's feelings...) --Shadow Hog 23:02, 21 Feb 2005 (MST)

    • I'll tone you down my lord! Donny vs Universe
      • CommentJust to give you a head's up, Donny, those were the rudest words I have ever heard. Realize that this is a cartoon, PLEASE . If you ever spoke like that in the real world, you would get your butt kicked.
      • Comment Uh-huhhhh...1) Sign your post. 2) Scroll up. People are saying far ruder things than I did, including the person who told me to "tone it down". 3) I was blunt not rude, boo hoo. Donny vs Universe
        • To be frank, what I said didn't really seem rude to me. I'm not particularly sure how you can say that my politely asking you to tone down is far ruder than coming up to somebody's face and practically calling them an idiot. (Unless you mean something completely unrelated?...) Also, being harsh to somebody's face like that IS generally a rude thing. --Shadow Hog 09:41, 7 Mar 2005 (MST)
        • To be frank, I think that saying "Well this is a stupid fun fact" and then proceeding to rip apart the contributor with a SB quote is pretty rude. Donny vs Universe
  • EXTREME DECLINE!!! This is a pathetic fun fact. That's all there is to it.--24.159.113.2 13:54, 23 Mar 2005 (MST)
  • Accept. I have no problem with this one. Remove the last sentence, and you're good to go. --Trogga 13:48, 25 Mar 2005 (MST)
  • Unadulterated Decline Come on, it's like you're not even trying. -Walking Armless
  • The Klein. It's just a title effect. Besides, this doesn't give us any new information or insights. Beatfox 23:09, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Limoman?

Um....is there a reason why Strong Bad is called Limoman at one point in the transcript? -Miss Free Country USA

Yes, someone defaced the article. This has since been reverted. -- Tom 15:20, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
