Goof?

That Goof is incorrect. The Email is covered up by The Paper before and after the easter egg. Should it be removed?

Yes, I was thinking that too. Poopsmith Z

Closed STUFF

Send In The Clown

Ronald McDonald is the clown mascot for McDonald's.

• Comment. This one has been added and deleted about X0 times. Rather than waste valuable mission time, I STUFFed it. Allez cuisine! -- tomstiff 19:14, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Still Decline What the crap?! This website is about Homestar, not McDonalds. --acekirby13 19:23, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC) My bad...but it's still waaaaaaay too obvious. {Starts singing Everyobody Knows It}... --acekirby13 19:34, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Ah still decline! You're getting more popular as the days go on! Yeah, decline' Donny vs Universe
  • Comment. Remember the context. Coach B complains about his "clown feet" then grumbles something about "Ronald McDonald." -- tomstiff 19:29, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Very Weak Decline. I'm always amazed by what people don't know, but ... something tells me that ol' Ron is pretty well known the world over! -- tomstiff 19:32, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Accept. It's true, and I don't like to reject outside references on the basis of being too obvious. Aurora the Homestar Coder 22:24, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Second. — It's dot com 13:55, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • I'm gonna second that. --Beatfox 22:14, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Decline Well I do. --user: Lappy 486 27 Apr
• DUH! cline Me too. Rudeboy87 13:45, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Do you want decline with that? Sorry, this falls under the category of "so obvious (insert name here) could see it." --ISlayedTheKerrek 17:11, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Is this one of those declined fun facts? Like the ones that Moms and off-shore casinos post?.-- _{Posted by:} -erson ^Talk 18:07, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Accept Hey! A reference is a reference. Obvious or not! Kvb 19:02, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • But it's too obvious! I quote "but not those that are so obvious that everybody will recognize them" from the things that make good fun facts. --acekirby13 15:11, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Hey! Did you know tha Pikachu is a Pokemon?!? C'mon folks, this fact isn't like the Four Armed Grimace reference. People already know who Ronald is. Donny vs Universe
    • You're using the example from the top of the STUFF page, but it's a bad example (and really should be changed). Many people, myself included, have no real idea what a Pokemon is, even less who Pikachu is.
    • I think enough people do know that it doesn't have to be listed. No matter how well known something is there will ALWAYS be someone who doesn't know about it. That doesn't mean we need to explain each and every reference. Donny vs Universe

• Decline. The philosophy that nothing is too obvious does not work. If Jesus appeared in a cartoon it would be ridiculous to make a fact about him. Even though (as far as I know) Ronald McDonald isn't religiously worshipped by millions over the world, he is extremely and widely well known. --Eujensc 13:13, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Second, I mean, do you want me to add "Homestar Runner is a popular web cartoon" or "The language primary used in this email is 'English', named after an island dwelling European nation" as fun facts to every cartoon? There is a fun fact describing brunswick stew in new boots, does that mean we need one describing biscuit dough in the jail cartoon?
    • I mean, do you want me to ask you to sign your vote? Or do you want me to say SIGN YOUR VOTE.? --ISlayedTheKerrek 02:11, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
      • I think there are enough declines for this fact that he doesn't have to. Still doesn't count though. Donny vs Universe
• Quote:(but not those that are so obvious that everybody will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)are you telling me that not everybody will already recognize this? --user:Lappy 486 today at now
  • This is still a horrible example. Who the heck is Pikachu? What the heck is a Pokémon? (I guess if they were linked, I could go over to Wikipedia and find out, but apparently the reference is too obvious for that. Believe it or not, not everybody knows everything about pop culture, and valid real-world references deserve links.)

Decline'd Ok on these facts I try to be nice (no matter how little I comment on these facts), but this is just sad. You might as well put "'Pickle' is a word"! Seriously man, either get a point to this or get rid of it. ~Because, It's Midnite

• Second all the declines. The fact is way too obvious. -SilverSurfer
• DeclineWonder why they're called FUN facts? For the people on this site that haven't heard about Ronald McDonald (who would consist of...who?), nobody cares. The point of fun facts like this is to provide information to people who might be confused about something in a cartoon. Even if somebody was living in a hole in the ground for years, the fact that it's in the cartoon is only because TBC neede some random phrase to plug in. In closing, go away.AtionSong May 10, 2005

Logarithim?

What is that? Shouldn't it be explained in like, a fun fact?--Robert Benedicio 20:12, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

I never knew what it meant. It has something to do with with exponents or something. Salty^Talk! 03:11, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

This should help. --Acam30 01:12, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Shortest sbemail?

Is this the shortest sbemail, at 1:13?

Nope. It's sb_email 22 at 0:33. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 19:02, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Prably the shortest in the Compy era. Lemme clarify... Nope. That would be your friends, at 1:10.--Jnelson09 19:01, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

His head doesn't move

... but his reflected head does. Of course, this is only a picture and it's more obvious in the video. Still:
