Homestarrunner.com will be a lot different without sbemails. They were the funniest cartoons on the whole site. I'm gonna miss them. Brothers Chaps, WHY MUST YOU TORTURE US?!!??

What evidence is there that tail worn by Homestar when dressed up as Coach Z is a "Tigger" tail, rather than just a tiger tail?  Tigger's tail looks pretty much just like a normal tiger tail, except that as I remember the Disney toons, Tigger's tail is characteristically ''flat'' on the end.  The one in this toon is rounded.  According to the DVD Commentary transcript, they refer to it as a tiger tail, and don't say anything about Tigger.  I don't have the DVD, so I'm assuming the transcript here is accurate.  If TBC did indeed say "Tigger" on the commentary, well that's indisputable.  If they didn't, calling that tail a Tigger tail is total conjecture.  [[Special:Contributions/98.222.134.36|98.222.134.36]] 01:22, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

:::(And Tony.)  Defender is right about ''real'' tigers (whose tails tend to be nearly white no matter how deep orange the tiger is), but when it comes to ''cartoon'' tigers, I think straight-up orange is much more common.  And H*R is a cartoon.  And I think it's important to stress that the tail in question lacks the characteristic flattened end of Tigger's tail.  [[Special:Contributions/98.222.134.36|98.222.134.36]] 01:56, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

::::Wow, i never realized how many bright orange cartoon tigers there are... now that i think about it, Exxon also had a tiger who looks like tony's cousin... yeah, i'm gonna have to go with definite '''could be any number of things'''. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 01:58, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

== A Question ==
 
-
 
-
Doesn't Homestar clearly tell Strong Bad about his e-mail show in Hremail 7? I know that Hremail 7 was made after this toon, but it was supposed to be, you know, like a parody of early toons made back in 2001 and all.

Can someone change to navbar so that instead of some kinda robot it links to Hremail 3184?  {{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 08:59, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

== Whoa, Big head! ==
 
-
 
-
Is it just me, or is Strong Bad's head bigger than usual in this one? I checked the size and his head is the same size as Homestar is from his cap (excluding buzzer) to the start of his shirt. Now, if I remember correctly, his head's usually been half (or more) that size. This could be added to Glitches or Fun Facts, though I needed to check if it's true before it's added.

The song by TMBG was included in their [http://www.tmbg.com/_media/_pod/TMBGPodcast37A.mp3 Halloween Podcast] of that year, which also had [[Crystal Fortress]]. This is not mentioned in Fast Forward at all.

-
== Four-pin? Eight-pin? ==
 
-
 
-
Is it possible Homestar was talking about internal power connectors? Four-pin is the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molex_connector traditional connector]] used by disk drives (before SATA came along), and eight-pin is mainly used to provide supplimentary power to video cards. It's the only place I can think of where "four-pin" and "eight-pin" are real things. [[User:Octan|Octan]] 21:17, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

:Maybe, but he could also just be being homestar. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:21, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

::RJ14 phone cords are 4-pin and ethernet cables (RJ45) are 8-pin.  Those are real things, and more likely to be thought of along with USB and firewire.  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 09:45, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

:::Thinking it over, that probably should be in the fun facts somehow, instead of the garglemesh (or is it jargle?) that's there now.  Meh.  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 18:27, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

== You vs. Who==

I do hear You as well, so yeah, don't... don't touch that. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 06:35, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
 
-
:It's definitely "who". "You" doesn't even make any contextual sense. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 06:37, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
 
-
:: I... huh. I actually hear "you" from a semi-close listen. But I also agree that it makes no contextual sense. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:30, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
 
-
:: PS. But it's very likely that the rising music is making the (semi)consonant less distinct, so I'm not going to fight for "you" and I'm going to say right here that it's very likely that it is, in fact, "who". Just that I can see where Ni and Reactive are coming from. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:32, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
 
-
:::Foolishly, I assumed no argument would arise, I thought the change to "you" was going to be unchallenged after the first few edits. Here are my arguments:
 
-
:::#I listened to it on the site, on the DVD, and on YouTube, and I heard "you". Though I agree with Jay that the music might be getting in the way, tricking the listener's ears, I can't help but hear a strong "y".
 
-
:::#Homestar's tone in the sentence didn't seem 100% inquisitive to me. I've heard him use that tone in things like DVD commentaries for humor.
 
-
:::#Contextually, "And you can forget the time ..." can make sense, considering how [[long pants]] was an unpleasant email for Strong Bad. Maybe Homestar thought his actions were embarrassing as well.
 
-
:::{{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 13:47, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
 
-
::::It still makes no sense contextually, as the tone of voice matches the sentence being "who", not "you". Additionally, what sense does "And you can forget this instance, which is why I'm bringing it up as a point of fact!" make in ''any'' context? The context is thus: here is a flashback I am presenting, who could forget that this happened?
 
-
::::And no, for once, I will not take "It's Homestar, where does 'sense' enter into it?" as an excuse. =3 He's not being silly here, so it doesn't work. From a previous edit summary, "[[theme park|hide and seek]]" and "[[dreamail|white clowns]]" ''do'' make sense contextually, on the grounds of "Homestar is dumb, and repeating back something that he misheard" (or, metatextually, "for humour").
 
-
::::Anyway, those are my points. Assess them as you will. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 14:00, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
 
-
:::::The tone isn't right for an embarrassing time, as DG said. I agree that one could clearly hear a "Y" sound. I also hear how the intention was CLEARLY "who" and any misspoken consonant is merely a mistake. That said, I think that, much as I'd like it to be just "who", the logical thing to do is put a visible sic there like in [[imaginary]] by "Strong Bad and Scotty Titi". {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 14:02, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
 
-
::::::Before I saw this discussion, I had only seen the back-and-forth edits to the article. I listened to the toon, expecting the word to be muddy or ambiguous, but to my surprise it's very clearly... "you". No question in my mind. As far as the structure of the sentence, I'll agree that it makes ''less'' sense, but I won't go so far as to say it makes ''no'' sense. Regardless, the article needs to show what he says, which is "you". — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:06, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
