Isn't this the first appearance of the Cheatball (appart from the games menu)? That could be a fun fact, if you weren't already considering it. | Isn't this the first appearance of the Cheatball (appart from the games menu)? That could be a fun fact, if you weren't already considering it. | ||

Possible goof?
At the end of the email, you can click the sticky notes, but nothing happens. When I say that, I meen that if I press tab, a yellow square cyles betweene the real cards, and the sticky notes. Cessna Man! 21:09, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- They work fine for me; clicking on them lets you get a closer look at the sticky notes. The Brothers Chaps probably fixed it just now, so try refreshing your browser. — Kilroy / talk 21:24, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
Butt-Pattingness
This email's gonna save Butt Patting big time. -Brightstar 21:26, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
There isn't any three-L Palllor
Okay, I just noticed something that made some of my other edits seem a tad hasty. In this email, it's spelled "Palor", but on Strong Sad's Lament, it's "Pallor" (as the Wiki had previously spelled it.) --Jay (Talk) 22:57, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- Pallor is the correct and original spelling. This spelling is most likely an accident. I'm not saying it is, but it most likely is an accident. Bluebry 22:59, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
Way, Way Off?
Changed "...this way off STING of Town..." to "...this rare STING of Town..."
I understand how one could've interpreted it as "way off", but I believe that "rare" is a much more likely word to appear here, seeing as how Homestar was talking about the trading of cards, wherein rarity is a large factor. --Proxtown 23:16, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
stong-gum
should the fact that Daniel spelled "strong" incorrectly go in funfacts? Superplough 23:48, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
I say no. People are all the time mispelling Strongbad's name, so it's hardly a new thing now. Foolster41
- For example, they'll write it as one word even though it is two words. Two different words that are not one word; that are "Strong" and "Bad". --Jay (Talk) 00:20, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
Wooden background?
This is just the top of Strong Bad's computer desk. Would it be clearer to identify it as such? --BigScaryMike 02:36, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- Well spotted. Done. Loafing 02:59, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
Slip of the pen
I thought it was interesting that on the following sticky note, part of the drawing is on Homestar's shirt. This could be (a) a goof, (b) an indication that Strong Bad drew some of the "trading cards" after attaching the sticky notes to Homestar, or (3) I'm overanalyzing a blown-up screenshot and I should go to bed. Good night. Trey56 06:57, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- It's nearly impossible to make out if you don't zoom in. And as you said, SB could have drawn it after he stuck the note on Homestar. So I think we'll put it in the "cool discovery, but sadly not article material" drawer. Would have been a nice goof, though. Loafing 11:11, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- We added even minorer goofs to pages. I say we also add this one. — Elcool (talk)(contribs) 12:58, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah. Why not just remarkify it? —BazookaJoe 13:22, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- I think the joke was the Homestar already had the other sticky notes before the email began (and thus affixed them to himself), which would make this a goof, not just a remark. — It's dot com 16:54, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Ball-derdash
In continuing with the Pokemon references, is it worth noting that Cheatball probably echoes 'Pokeball'? -Grover Junior
- I don't think so, since Poke Balls are just containers for Pokemon. I don't think there is a direct connection here. There could be, of course, but we don't know. Loafing 10:32, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- The way he throws the Cheatball does seem very similar to the throwing of a Poke Ball as seen in the cartoon and considering TBC's usual aptitude for dead-on parodies, "Cheatball" is an un-Pokemonish sounding name.-Grover Junior
- Two good points. Not sure if this is still speculation, though. What does everybody else think? Oh, and you should create a user account, Grover Junior, it'll make editing easier for you. I know you want to ;-) Loafing 11:08, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- I think it is a reference to Pokeballs. The shape, name, throw. everything adds up together. — Elcool (talk)(contribs) 12:57, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Cheatball's voice
Is it just me, or does it sound like the Cheatball is voiced by Missy Palmer? I heard it while I was looking at another browser (which allows me to focus more on the sound), and it sounded very much like her voice saying "Cheatball".--H-ko 16:13, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- I would disagree that it sounds like Missy, I doubt that she did the voice on this one. I have a voice that is very similar to Matt's (and I do voice acting too) and wouldn't be a bit surprised to find out that he did this voice too. It's much like a Jigglypuff voice. -The Shadow
Number of Conversations
This may be just another profitless discussion guys, but when I watched the cartoon for the first time (and subsequent times) I thought that Homestar said that they had this conversation "Twenty-five" times, and it surprised me when I saw the transcript state "thirty-five." This is probably something that can't be resolved except by the Brothers Chaps, since essentially Homestar says "unny-five" and isn't very clear. At least not to myself. -The Shadow
- I'm pretty sure it's "twenty-five".
- I'm hearing thirty-five, and I'm confident enough that I'm changing it back. --Jay (Talk) 17:04, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- I'm heavily leaning toward twenty-five. I don't heat the T and W sounds (and neither a TH sound), but I definetly hear the E sound, like "enty-five". — Elcool (talk)(contribs) 17:11, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- But I'm hearing the "ooty" (which is as close as H*R would ever come to "irty".) --Jay (Talk) 17:13, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- Ok, here's another prove: There are 23 stiky notes on Homestar, plus two that fell off. That make 25 note, of one per conversations. — Elcool (talk)(contribs) 17:28, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- Ooooooh, well done! I thought SB was just askin' a rhetorical question!
- Sounds like thirty-five to me, with his usual speech impediments (thowty-five?). Even if there are 25 sticky notes in view, that doesn't mean that's all of them--there could be others on the side away from the viewer.--H-ko 19:33, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

My comments
Who removed my comments about the complications of card games? I was only agreeing with the email. Retromaniac 16:49, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
Thirty-Five?
I don't know about you, but I clearly heard "Twenty-Five" DeFender1031 17:23, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- Look two topics up. And I still say it's thirty. --Jay (Talk) 17:23, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- And I still agree with Jay. --DorianGray

- It's there under trivia.--H-ko 19:35, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
