Poopsmith Lyrics?

The unintelligible part of the transcript as of 7:35 AM is "The thought of all those emails (makes me weaaaak)."

I think its "Weep" because it's a verb and strong bad interruption "PUKE" would make better sense. (I don't know how to "weak") Javaguy78 14:46, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

If you listen to the mp3 at the end, you can tell that it is "weak". And "weak" is not a verb, its an adjective. You don't "weak" you "be weak" -Jdhannan

Wow, the battle of dumb-butts. Clearly "I don't know how to 'weak'" was his way of saying that he knows it's not a verb and hence doesn't think it fits in that context (which albeit an adjective also does). 75.157.4.36 17:43, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Thank you 75.157.4.36... I guess sarcasm doesn't work too well online... Anywho, listened to the mp3 and it could go either "Weep" or "Weak", so I guess it's up to you to decide. Maybe TMBG are the only ones who know for sure Javaguy78 18:55, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Taking horse tranquilizers makes me weak. I thought it was weak too, and I think it makes sense - Wecannotbesaved 19:37, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Listen to the mp3 easter egg, guys. It as a a very clearly pronounced WEAK. —Supuhstar* 19:52, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

They might be giants?

At least one youtuber ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lwFy6MYP3Q ) thinks that the poopsmith's song was by they might be giants, can someone confirm/deny this? --The accountless avenger

I'm pretty sure we can take the Brothers Chaps' word as truth when they say it's performed by They Might Be Giants. This band has done more than one song for homestarrunner.com. --DENNIS 20:10, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

It probably wasn't one of the Brothers Chap, as the Poopsmith's voice was heard in different town and senior prom, and both times, he had a significantly lower voice.That Game Dude 386 21:35, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Sorry; I wasn't thinking. John Linnell was the voice of The Poopsmith, as stated in the article. --DENNIS ^T/_C 21:57, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Also, the musical performance is not very TBC, it's not like Linnell dubbed over TBC's tracks. This is also not stylistically like TBC, it's fairly safe to assume TMBG wrote and recorded this for them. TBC may have written the lyrics, however, we have no way to tell right now. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  02:26, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Ah-hah, I get it. One comes from the email, and the other comes from the first one. Haha. --Color Printer 13:06, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Oh, right. "What do you ladies think this is, HREmail 24?" Ha. -207.206.238.188

Added to the EasterEggs Section. Javaguy78 14:06, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Added them to the "Secret Pages" section too... but if some one knows how to upload screenshots, they need them here Javaguy78 14:24, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Last?

Did you guys think this is the last sbemail?

argh. is homestarrunner broken, guys? none of the pages are getting past the loading screen for me...:( 76.114.174.169 14:46, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Same here... Maybe someone should put up a mirror of the episode for us lesser mortals. --The accountless avenger.

#1 this is forum talk #2 no this will not be the last one -Jdhannan

How does thou knowest thy beloved sbemails shall not become hremails? --DENNIS 20:12, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Again, a forum discussion. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  02:27, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Sending an email to DJmankiewicz

When you actually send an email to "Homestar" (DJmankiewicz@homestarrunner.com), you get this e-mail back instantly.

Subject: My Inbox Runneth Ova! Oh, hello everyone! For some unknown reason I'm getting this big cavalcanche of emails all of the sudden. They're filling up the basement and I'm running out of paper towels! Just sit tight and hremails will be back to normal before you know it. And thanks again to everyone who participated in Bacon Pretend Week! Ron Staple you are a GENIUS!

Okay bye, Homestar Runner

I didn't know if or where this should be mentioned on the wiki, so there it is. --139.225.204.42 15:06, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

I added it to Contacts. That place at least needed the address listed, and I figured it'd fit there best. --Mini-Geek^{t c} 17:37, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Goof

The "goof" for the 'ghosts' rollover has been fixed, but I'm too paranoid about the rules here to fix the article myself.--Flytape8490 17:03, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Rules are simple. 1) Make good faith edits. 2) If you do and screw it up, it'll get fixed no probala. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  02:28, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Hooyah?

Strong Bad's exclamation is spelled about ten different ways in the transcription. Perhaps we should pick one spelling and stick to it? I don't know which one to use, though. Kamek 18:18, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

What exclamation do you mean? --DENNIS 20:17, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

"Hooyah", of course. Or B'oyah. Or Whooyaha. Or however many other times it was spelled. I'm assuming it's the same phrase each time. Kamek 22:02, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Where are you seeing this?--DENNIS ^T/_C 22:40, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Awwww

I wanted the Lappy to not make it out alive... and for the Zappy to take its place! — MichaelXX2

First, this comment is more appropriate for the forum. Also, it's only been about a year since accent, not five. --DorianGray 21:34, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Who says that it has to be exactly five years? Strong Sad said the fast-forward was IN five years. That doesn't mean that the new computer can't happen 4 years before that clip. — MichaelXX2

GILTH

im sorry i cant spell gilth but every time i go to the sbemail it just stops at when strong bad is pouring moutain folder shold we put it in the article?

There was a server error at homestarrunner.com, which has since been fixed. If you need anymore help, please be sure to tell me on my talk page. --DENNIS ^T/_C 22:38, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

hey evertime i go to it stays on loading what should i do?

Though this comment is misplaced, my computer also won't let me watch the email past the loading screen. And it's been doing this since 6 am central this morning. Anybody find a way to fix this? — Acam30 02:19, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Thunder

Shouldnt the name be Thunder

It's called "email thunder" on the email list. --DorianGray 22:16, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

MP3 no worky

Downloaded MP3 with Vista, no sound. File plays but is silent. Ideas? - Qermaq - (^T/C)  22:17, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

1. Make sure your speakers are plugged in and on.

2. Make sure the system volume is on. Sometimes the Wave volume is muted. Go into the advanced volume window and unmute Wave sound.

If you need any more help, tell me on my talk page. --DENNIS ^T/_C 22:36, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Worky now. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  02:06, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

404'd

When I go to http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemailtwohundred.html, it comes up as a 404'd. The only way I've been able to watch the dang thing is if I go to the flash file. I'm not the only one with this problem. What up? SuperfieldCreditUnion

It works fine here, so the most likely thing is a problem with a server between you and theirs. Clear your cache, reboot, and try again. It may just be a waiting thing. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  22:22, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

I did a hard reload while on the page and it's fine now. Thanks! (can't believe I didn't think to do that before...) SuperfieldCreditUnion

Homestar's personal favorites

So does anyone else think the scene with Homestar flashing back to previous e-mails was a reference to personal favorites? Like that one, it starts with two real e-mails then he starts making things up... -ComputerBox 00:15, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Email 200

http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail200.html

Check it out! Not sure where it should be mentioned, hidden pages I bet. - Wecannotbesaved 00:42, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

It's mentioned here: Page Load Error. BBG 00:51, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Limozeen's Congratulations

Is it possible to watch the Limozeen scene as a separate flash file? BBG 01:36, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Yes. --DorianGray 04:46, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Inside references.

What about "Cinnimon beard?"

Michelle?

I noticed that the referance explaination about the Poopsmith's Easter Egg has been changed from "My Michelle" (Guns'n Roses) to "Michelle" (The Beatles) and back. I don't know the first one, but the Beatles's Michelle song has completely different lyrics and I'm sure if the Easter Egg were to be a referance to that one, they would have included French, since that's the most recognizable part of the song. --Cass from Germany 06:37, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

I initially added the fact as being for Guns N' Roses because it was the first thing Google returned, and the first link there seems to confirm it. But I've not actually heard either song, so I can't say myself which is right. --DorianGray 06:42, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

The lyrics to the song "My Michelle" [1] make it clear. While I first thought of the song by the Beatles, the lyrics "well, well, well" are just not in the song "Michelle" by the Beatles. To be clear: the references is to the Guns N' Roses song "My Michelle". Without a doubt. OptimisticFool 06:51, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Listen to "My Michelle" here, and to "Michelle" here. One sucks, the other doesn't. In that order. =] OptimisticFool 07:01, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Fun do part?

Don't you think that's what SB says?

Weak/Weep

I hear "Weep". Anyone else? — Defender1031*Talk 08:42, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

The K sound is very distinct in the MP3. --DorianGray 08:44, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Ah, so it is. — Defender1031*Talk 08:50, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Relly a email?

Tenchally strong bad never checked a email in the apprtl 200 sbemail so those it count are the tbc just fooling us your thouts

Hmm, this actually might be a good point... we're treating this like it was the email... i wouldn't put it past TBC to come out with something REALLY huge next week and put it at sbemail2hundred or something like that, granted, this email DID feel a bit... sub-par for a milestone. I guess the question becomes what we do with this page if and when that happens... — Defender1031*Talk 18:13, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
