Pardon, but it looks like Homestar took off his shirt (or...whatever) and stuck some stripes to his torso.  What do you think?  -[[User:RadSkat3|RadSkat3]] 23:40, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Missing Back Button

Didn't know if anyone noticed yet, but I loaded this email and at the end, there's no Back button. Anywhere. I used the TAB button to see if it was hidden or anything and nothing came up. Just wanted to let you guys know.

I don't know about ealier, but there's a Back button now. --Jay (Talk) 23:26, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Draw Trogdor again ;)

TBC knew that a wiki member was in the Flashforward audience. On the H*R Junkmail Filta, I'd like to think they were winking at us. — It's dot com 19:19, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Maybe that was just in there because TBC has stated multiple times that they don't answer emails on a previously covered topic (dangeresque 3 being the closest thing to an exception). --IT'S A LION! 20:14, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Sure, that's why "Draw Trodor again" is there, but I think the ";)" is directed this direction. — It's dot com 20:30, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Nah, I don't think it was us in particular - more like the people who keep sending emails about things that have already been done. --Jay (Talk) 20:32, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Well, of course I can't be sure, but I'd still like to think so. :) — It's dot com 20:37, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Another Nod?

Just this past week we started a page about Strong Bad Smiling - and what's the final shot in this email? Coincidence?? - Qermaq - (T/C) Image:Qermaqsigpic.png 19:31, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes. —BazookaJoe 20:41, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Tom Hank's SNL Reference

the intro was a definate reference to the Tom Hanks appearance on SNL; specifically the Wayne's World Sketch with Hanks as the roadie for Aerosmith. user:thereddestraddish

Yes it is, I couldn't place it. Add that! - Qermaq - (T/C) Image:Qermaqsigpic.png 19:35, 21 March 2006 (UTC)


I thought of that Wayne's World sketch as soon as I heard it also. Stonecold5987 (talk·edits) 20:11, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Nougat is the candy equivalent of veal

What is Strong Bad talking about? There's a Wikipedia entry on Nougat but I didn't get any veal equivalency there. --66.241.95.65 19:58, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

He's just saying that Veal is like the best kind of meat, nougat is like a candy Veal. Its like.. a metafor? i dunno, one of those.--Collin 20:00, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Well, I could be wrong, but I think this was another job for making stuff up. Remember, that's one of Strong Bad's hobbies. Heimstern Läufer 20:01, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
I don't think so. The important characteristic of veal is it's made from baby cows, or at least that seems to me to be what he's referencing. Veal is only the best if you like it. Lots of people don't. --66.241.95.65 20:06, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Veal is really tender, and nougat is soft and easy to chew as well. I guess. - Qermaq - (T/C) Image:Qermaqsigpic.png 20:07, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Veal is also expensive and closely associated with cuisine. You may not like it, but that doesn't make it any less luxurious. There's no way he means that nougat is the candy that's made out of baby cows. That's just stupid and totally counter to the idiom he's using. Besides, he's trying to hype the candy bar, not get PETA on his case. PolarBoy
So nougat is the most expensive, luxurious candy? Finally, an explanation that makes sense! --66.241.95.65 20:43, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Check this recent Wiki edit (currently, the most recent). :) - Qermaq - (T/C) Image:Qermaqsigpic.png 22:50, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Uh... I hope that wasn't added by you... --Jay (Talk) 22:52, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Certainly not! But it's hilarious. - Qermaq - (T/C) Image:Qermaqsigpic.png 22:53, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Perhaps, but it's also (sort-of) vandalism. --Jay (Talk) 22:54, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Sure it is. I wouldn't do it myself, but it won't stop me from smirking when I see something so referential done. I feel the same way here - most of the absolutely inane edits are annoying, but once and again there's one that makes you crack a smile. - Qermaq - (T/C) Image:Qermaqsigpic.png 22:57, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Transcript

Hey, i'm doing the transcript i guess, and since its my first I really don't know what i'm doing. So if you have anything to add, change, fix, etc., be my guest. --Collin 20:02, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

"Sibilants"

I believe Strong Bad is actually saying "syphilis" at the beginning of this email. Because: he is obviously doing a mike check, and "syphilis" is the word generally used in video production to do a mike test. Trust me, I know. --IT'S A LION! 20:11, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Um, no. It's Sibilance, clearly, and ref. Wayne's World skit on SNL with Tom Hanks and Aerosmith.

- Qermaq - (T/C) Image:Qermaqsigpic.png 20:12, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Also, the whole point is to check that the sound system is properly reproducing sibilants (or sibilance). In the U.S., we don't pronounce the "T", so it's impossible to know whether he's saying sibilants or sibilance, but it's definitely not syphillis. --66.241.95.65 20:15, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Sorry. My bad. *smirks at people who watch Wayne's World* --IT'S A LION! 20:20, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Heh, I at first heard it as "Sibboleth". (Points to the first person to identify that reference.) But what we wrote is obviously correct. Heimstern Läufer 20:45, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

I saw the same joke used on a rerun of The Daily Show the day this e-mail was supposed to come out (the day before it actually came out). Odd coincidence, or do TBC get their jokes from late night tv, much as I do?

familiar sign...

Did anyone see the Tandy 400 in the commercial? --The 386 My talk 20:22, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

It's already noted on the Tandy 400 page. - Qermaq - (T/C) Image:Qermaqsigpic.png 20:23, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

What got me was the stuff on its screen. "Current date is blah blah. Set new date?" I remember being foxed by that on the computer in primary school. :-) 86.142.179.66 22:44, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Newspaper

The paper when Strong Bad is in the bathroom says :

Back Pape: Famous couples were spotted eating, walking around, and on movie screens across the country.

Da NewsPapes: World events continued for the 43rd consecutive day. This is just 3 shy of all-time record of 46. Many believe this is a sign of things to come. Ed Bache concurs. "This is a sign of things to come."

I Don't know where to put it, but thats what it says. --Collin 20:37, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

I would put it after the Priodic Table of Candy. --66.241.95.65 20:42, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
How do you get rid of the black border when you view the swf file? csours 20:44, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Well how i did it, was i made a new file in Flash MX and imported the SWF file, and on the frame that it had the newspaper, i just clicked the border and pressed delete. When you import it you don't have as much control as if it was a FLA file, but you can still do some stuff with it. at least in the version i have. --Collin 20:47, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Does anyone know who the heck Ed Bache is?

Orthapedic surgeon as far as i can tell from google. wrote some books on feet. works for a hospital in the UK. may just be a random name though, but the only ed bache i could find on google has to do with orthapedic surgery. --Collin 23:17, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Elements

Someone's mentioned that Pb and Al stand for lead and aluminum in the remarks section. It seems to me that this should be an all-or-nothing comment. So should we add Co (cobalt), Cr (chromium), Ca (calcium), and Mt (meitnerium)? Or should we delete the existing remark?

It's been removed on those grounds, but I'm in favor of re-adding that fact with all the real elements listed. —BazookaJoe 20:53, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, that was me. I mistakenly noted "Ma" as a real element in my summary, didn't remember Cr, and have never heard of Mt before (it's one of those bottom-row post-100 elements) but yeah. --Jay (Talk) 20:54, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
I was thinking of making a page for the elements --Dacheatbot · Communicate 21:09, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Might not be a bad idea to move the table there too, as it's quite distracting here. - Qermaq - (T/C) Image:Qermaqsigpic.png 21:11, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Okay. Should I take it of the email page? --Dacheatbot · Communicate 21:13, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
If you're going to, put it on its own page first to save yourself some trouble. --Jay (Talk) 21:14, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Edgar's Baby's Daddy redundancy

With the upgrade of the text version of the spam filter, the textual and graphical versions are virtually 100% redundant. Can we please pick one to delete? — Bill 21:20, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Two things: We would never delete the text version, because we can't assume that the image can be seen. But there's nothing wrong with having both, especially since the graphical version has Homestar's picture on it. See Senorial Day → Trivia for a similar example. — It's dot com 23:04, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Another Edgar's Baby's Daddy redundancy

Hey, I just figured out that "Edgar's Baby's Daddy" would be Edgar.Theforumveteran

Could be adopted... - Qermaq - (T/C) Image:Qermaqsigpic.png 22:01, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Re: Edgar's Baby's Daddy = Edgar... I think that's the joke... — It's dot com 23:01, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
I suppose there is the incredibly unlikely argument that Edgar could be female... --Jay (Talk) 23:09, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Answered in Wikipedia?

GCNU is not an acronym. Also Baby Ruth is not named after Babe Ruth. Both of these could be found on Wikipedia. Beep 23:11, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

GCNU (GameCube Noob University?) is not an acronym, but CGNU is. You're probably right about the second thing though. --videlectrix.pngENUSY discussionitem_icon.gif user.gifmail_icon.gif 23:14, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Actually, he's right about the acronym thing. An acronym is a word formed by the initials. CGNU is simply initials. --Jay (Talk) 23:16, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Marshie as Sinistar?

Is Marshie's "You can't destroy meeeee....." line a reference to '80s video game Sinistar? Silly Dan 23:22, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Hmmmmmm...I think you may be right.--Gir007 23:25, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

I doubt it. It's pretty generic. In fact, someone tried to add it as a reference to the Law of the Conservation of Mass. --Jay (Talk) 23:26, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

resistance is futile

Did anyone think that when the marshie character said "you can't destroy me," that this was a Star Trek-ish type of reference to the common enitity type monsters that they encounter on that show? I'm sure uber-trekkies will come out the wood-work on this one siting every time something like this has appeared on every sci-fi show, but Star Trek was the first thing I thought of. Reference? No? I R F 23:34, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Uh... see immediately above. TTATOT rules apply. --Jay (Talk) 23:35, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Yeah I didn't see the above until just now I R F 23:37, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
