[edit] Trouper. Not trooper.

People keep changing the transcript. Strong Bad says that Lil' Brudder is "such a trouper." People keep changing it to "trooper." A "trouper" is a reliable, uncomplaining, hardworking person, like Lil' Brudder. It can also refer to a member of an acting troupe, but not here.

A "trooper" originally meant a member of the calvary. From that it came to mean a mounted police officer, and then later a state police officer who operates from his or her car. (Since cars are mounts like horses.)

Lil' Brudder is a "trouper," not a "trooper."

I'll put a note in the transcript. --Upsilon

[edit] Trooper. Not trouper.

Check the original.

VERDICT: This item was overwhelmingly declined, 10–2. The votes and arguments have been moved to HRWiki:STUFF/Archive/crying.

[edit] Rudy Reference?

Li'l Brudder wants to be a quarterback when he grows up. The movie "Rudy" is a tearjerker about a boy who wants to play football for Notre Dame, even though "his grades were a little low, his athletic skills were poor, and he was only half the size of the other players." IMDb says "But he had the drive and the spirit of 5 people"! Awww. ~AC

[edit] 2,000 yards

The reference to 2,000 yards being only 125 yards a game seems a bit of a stretch, as LB doesn't say he would do it in one season, but just that he would throw that far, which would suggest to me that he meant he would throw it that far in one go. Silverfish 20:27, 5 Aug 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Grammatical Error?

I may be wrong on this, but shouldn't "I, nor anyone else..." be "Neither I, nor anyone else..."? I've always been under the impression that "nor" was only used in the "Neither... nor..." syntax. --Image:SBsig.gifSBLOUNSKCHED! t/c 20:46, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

I believe you're correct. Additionally, the verb in the sentence should be singular because both elements of the compound subject are singular, and the verb should also agree with the word closest to it[1], so the sentence should read "Neither I, nor anyone else has ever heard of DJ Smoldyface." I'm going to go ahead and add this. LikeAsItself 00:40, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A new easter egg i found
