==Henna Henna Henna in transcript?==
When he's reading the e-mail, I think he's quietly mumbling hyphen hyphen hyphen.  It makes sense, but maybe that means I'm hearing what I want to hear, instead of what he's actually saying.  Anyone agree? --[[User:racerx is alive|racerx_is_alive]] 15:20, 15 Sep 2004 (MST)

*It's definitely "henna". This is especially clear when Strong Bad says "Whoa, three hennas!" It's not supposed to mean anything - it's just a dash sound effect. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

*Yeah, I concur. It's like that weird sound he makes when he sees an anime smiley in [[suntan]]; he likes to try to pronounce abberant abbreviation.

*I hear "hang on" very quickly, but I guess that's just me. [[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora Szalinski]] 12:07, 20 Mar 2005 (MST)

*Hm, I hear "hemna".  kind of like a sewing hem.--[[User:rsl12|rsl12]] 13:58, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

*It's "handle", as in a horizontal bar you can hold.  Play it back slowly.

*Henna to me. I can't hear handle or hang on or hyphen. It may sound like hemna, but does that make any sense? {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 01:42, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

== Dogs, not dolls ==

It's dogs, not dolls. Stop trying to change it.--[[User:Hysterical Woman|Hysterical Woman]] 14:08, 13 Nov 2004 (MST)

Might it be 'dolts'?

:Sounds more like "dolls" or "dolts" to me. Dolls would make sense, since these are little kids. I played it over and over after recording it with [http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ Audacity] and I heard no G in there. --[[User:Uh! Bob|Ǖħ¡ βøв]] 10:39, 20 Mar 2005 (MST)
:I agree. Dogs just wouldn't make much sense, since not everyone has a dog - but most kids at the age implied in the e-mail would most likely have a doll or action figure or two. --[[User:generalsling|Teh S. (generalsling)]]

==All is off?==

For some reason, I could have sworn that, back when this was released last fall, after Strong Bad read "All is on" he said something like, "Whoa, I left my All on. All is off," or something similar and then there was a message saying the all had been turned off. Did this actually happen, or is it just me? --[[User:SBEmail22|SBEmail22]] 19:02, 4 Jun 2005 (EST)

I am confident that Strong Bad says "young children". --<span style="color: #adff2f">[[User:Trogga|TROGGA!]]</span> 12:54, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:Went back and listened again. I hear "dumb children" pretty clearly. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 13:44, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

==Closed STUFF==
===Okay, dumb children... (DECLINED)===

The Party Mix CD with the song "All Is On" is a parody of the various "Kidz Bop!" and other 'kid-safe' albums. The spine of the CD reads "Songs we found on the street".

==Homsar Hat Morphing Goof?==
Someone had put his hat-size change as a goof, even though it has been shown many times before that his hat can change shapes for no good reason.  I removed the goof reference. -[[User:Ariamaki|Ariamaki]] 17:20, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Firebird undid that change. I'm not sure why. I guess maybe the thought is that it is changed in size for such a short period of time. In fact, if you look at the SWF file, it's only changed for two frames. Below is a table showing the details. I would counter argue that the size of the hat wouldn't change unless TBC intended it to, but that's just me.
<table border=2><tr><td>Frame</td><td>Scale Modifier of Hat</td></tr><tr><td>1579</td><td>1.922</td></tr><tr><td>1580</td><td>3.131</td></tr><tr><td>1581</td><td>1.133</td></tr><tr><td>1582</td><td>1.922</td></tr></table>

:Yeah, if his hat can change into an engineer's hat at will, then I don't see why it's so weird that it changes size, too. [[User:Rowsdower45|Rowsdower45]] 16:48, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

==Is it really Dijjery-Doo?==

I have trouble seeing the Dijjery-Doo in this email. I see an animal that has similar fangs, but otherwise looks nothing like it (it's in the picture at the top of the article.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 02:24, 13 Aug 2005 (UTC)

==Oct. 5 changes==
I made a bunch of simple spelling fixes, but I made a few major edits that I didn't want to leave unexplained. I took out the "glitch" that the "All is on" easter egg can repeat over itself, because I don't see how it's a glitch. I took out the Real-World Ref. comparing Homsar's show intro the the "It's a Small World Ride"; I've never been on the ride, so perhaps someone can correct me, but the only similarity I saw was that he was in a boat and the children were multi-ethnic. --[[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]] 06:35, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:You ''monster''! I mean, ''good edits''! I fixed a "silhouette" and picked "mustachioed" over "mustached," because it just sounds funnier. And you're right, the connection to "It's a Small World" (one of the most chilling creations of Man) is pretty tenuous. &mdash; {{User:Thesmokingmonkey/sig}} 16:05, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Is it just me, or does it sound like "Steal it" instead of "Feel it"? I mean "feel it" makes more sense but it sounds a lot like "steal it" to me. -- [[User:Ugw|ugw]] 6:57, 22 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Uncle? ==

In the DVD commentary, are we sure it isn't "Whose uncle" instead of "Who's uncle"? The latter seems more likely to me. [[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]]
*It would be difficult to tell unless there were subtitles, and apparently there aren't any. [[User:Kiwi|Who's Uncle? Uncle is a fat, fat friar. I mean firebender.]]

== Psalm? ==

It sounds like Homsar says "That's a real popular psalm", rather than "song". Or is it just his strange accent? It seems like it would fit into his quirky speech patterns.
:Most likely is difficult to hear clearly because Homsar speaks with such strange inflection and tone.  But given past history, saying "psalm" is less likely than "song" because TBC appear to make an effort to skirt around anything connected to a specific religion.
:There have only been two vaguely religious references ever made on H*R.com as far as I know: Strong Sad starting to quote from "A Christmas Carol" in [[A Holiday Greeting]], and Homsar's response "And also with you" in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]].  The second case is a stretch, and in the first, Strong Sad is quickly interrupted by Homestar, possibly suggesting his quote is inappropriate or out of place, in addition to this just being Strong Sad. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 19:21, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

== Firesign Theatre ref - not a ref. ==

I saw a revert in the main article about a Firesign Theatre ref - "If you lived here, you'd be home by now".  That slogan was common (and still is in some places) on real-life billboards for condominium and apartment complexes, new housing developments, etc.  Firesign Theatre was spoofing that in "How Can You Be In Two Places At Once When You're Not Anywhere At All?".

Incidentally, the full joke in the Firesign Theatre clip says "Happy Valley Condoms.  If you've lived here, you'd be home by now."  Note it does not say Condominiums.  Considering the entire album (and most of FT's work) contains very large amounts of innuendo, this fits in very well with their brand of humor, but not with TBC's. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 19:15, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

== Re:British vs English ==

Re: [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=for_kids&curid=980&diff=447618&oldid=447600&rcid=401479] The nation this show is from is Britain, not England. England is not a sovereign nation; Britain is. Whether or not the English would prefer the show to be recognized as "English" shouldn't play a role in this, especially since we have the word of only one user that this would be the preferred way to refer to it. Referring to this is an English show is like calling [[Wikipedia:Sesame Street|Sesame Street]] a New Yorker show rather than an American show. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 18:20, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Firstly, Thankyou for making this a discussion. Secondly I still maintain my beleif that it is more comon to refer to English things as English. By saying British - there is no defined way of knowing if it came from England, or on of the other UK countries. The only people who really use the term "British" is the media. 

Think of it as how P.C terms for something are used, regardless of how the person feels about it. I know this isn't the same thing as country/nations but it is generalization VS the prefereties of the person.

Also, I agree the American example is valied - but things may be different to you Americans than it is to the English. 

I will add more to the debate if needed. [[User:MJN SEIFER|MJN SEIFER]] 19:03, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
:Well, I guess I'm a bit skeptical that sentiment against being called "British" is all that widespread. These [[User:The Chort|two]] [[User:DumbMuscle|examples]], while hardly a representative survey, seem to suggest at least some English people don't mind themselves being called "British". {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 19:35, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Maybe it's an opinion thing then? As there are many English people who (Like me) hate being called "British" [[User:MJN SEIFER|MJN SEIFER]] 19:48, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

== Trendy Coat Bag ==

Is it only me who thought Homsar introduces himself with "I'm a trendy '''coat bag'''" until reading this transcript?
