Homestar Filmography

If Nebulon is listed in the filmography of senior prom, then Homestar Runner should be listed in the filmography here...I don't have a strong opinion which way it goes, as long as it's consistent. Trey56 17:58, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Concur, senior prom is a good example, we don't list Senor Cardgage there, and if I remember correctly Nebulon is also just depicted in a decoration, thusly should not be in the cast list. I can't view the toon to confirm that at the moment so I won't change it, but if that's the case, then Nebulon we must erase! (but he should be noted as a decoration and linked there).

Yes, I say take them both out. —BazookaJoe 18:10, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, he's just a decoration. I tend to agree with you that they shouldn't be listed in the Filmography (they're not actually acting). I'll delort it. Trey56 18:11, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Note, however, that Trivia Time does list his appearances as a cookie jar. Starblind 18:46, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, but he is not included in the cast lists for the toons (see army for example.) - Ilko Skevüld's Teh C 18:53, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

What about some other sub-filmography category for appearances like this? Something like "other appearances" maybe, for when a character's image is used but the character cannot really be said to be in the toon. it could also include things such as the dead Strong Sad easter eggs in fingers (where a character is seen but does not move or talk) DumbMuscle 22:53, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

I think that a character should be reconized if they actually appear in person (Such as the dead Strong Sads in fingers), but with the Nebulon decoration and the Homestar Runner Decemberween Gift, I agree with you guys.

Suave?

I'm almost positive he says swaying hips. I've watched it thrice now, and that's what I hear every time. I'll be bold and change it, so you know who to blame. -- 4.244.215.164 19:09, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Green Tongue

Is it worth mentioning that the googly eyed reindeer ornament has a green tongue? kai lyn 17:53, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Mainpage

Should we mention that there is no mention of an update on the mainpage? It still says last updated the 4th, and click on the new Strong Bad Email takes you too the chair one. What do you think?

Clear your cache. --ENUSY 23:31, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

And learn how to use "too" and "to" properly. -LYNX

Meant?

Did they mean to say bloody? Cause isn't that like bad in the commonwealth. The US no, but Australia or UK

I'm an Australian, and bloody is about as bad as 'darn'. I'd say the constant use of 'friggn' is worse.

Like the person above said, it's not a very strong word. Although I'd say it's closer to "damn" than "darn". And I don't know about how it's used in the UK. Anyway, bloody is only a swear if it's used as an adjective, and isn't used to mean "covered in blood". The way Strong Bad used it was fine. And please sign your posts. You use four of these things: ~. —Shwoo 02:14, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

See "So where the bloody hell are you?" for a very recent discussion of this issue. -- Ianiceboy 12:55, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Part Numbers

The second and third numbers have already been identified, but it was the first one that really stuck out to me. I found myself saying the last numbers in the series before I even read them: "zxj481-78b." I just wish I could recall where it came from! Could it be related to networking like the other two?

Pheromone

I'm tempted to add back in the note that they're used to communicate with their own species. That is their natural purpose. Other animals (or plants) can sense them sometimes, but that's more an adaptation for predatory or defense purposes, the actual purpose of a pheromone is normally to communicate with one's own species. - Ilko Skevüld's Teh C 15:10, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

I agree, based on my limited knowledge of them. By itself, the term implies species specific interaction — when used otherwise biologists explicitly qualify them as heterospecific pheromones or less commonly exopheromones. —BryanCTC 16:08, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Stonk?

Okay, not just one but two separate users have attempted to add separate "Facts" (both of them very suspect) relating to the word "Stonk" now. To this page, not to the chair. Um... is there something I'm missing, or have people just suddenly grown clueless? --Jay (Talk) 02:47, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Unless you and I are both missing something, (highly unlikely), I think people just suddenly grew clueless.

Xmas

The X in Xmas was used to represent the Holy Cross of Jesus Christ since the letter X is a cross itself. Retromaniac 22:45, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

No, its actually a capital chi (a Greek letter) which has been used as an abbreviation for Christ (such as the C in the ICHTHYS (fish symbol) which is the initials of the phrase "Jesus Christ, God's Son, Savior" in Greek). The chi just happens to look the same as a Roman (i.e. the letters used in English) X. Which is also the roman numeral for 10 (decem) hence the Xberween - DumbMuscle 23:16, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Wow. I've been through a decade and two years worth of Christmas's, and I've never even thought about where "xmas" came from. — _talk Bubsty _edits 23:56, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Never knew that. Thanks. Retromaniac 06:13, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Nobots

I remember many "nobots", such as a Santa cactus singing Feliz Navidad, and simply a Santa Claus saying "Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas!" or "Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!" Retromaniac 22:49, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

"everybody" song

The song in the easter egg... where have I heard that before? This is driving me nuts...

See what I want#Inside References. Loafing 09:50, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

It's from the intro. [[1]]Dramus 04:28, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Cool, thanks. It's pretty catchy.

Talon (J)endro: A true Lucas-ism???

It's probably not worth putting this on the main page, but it is very interesting to note that, by pure coincidence, there is actually a character in the Star Wars Expanded Univers (Books, etc.) whose name is Talon. He actually becomes one of the major characters in a number of books. There are also a few names that are similar, but not the same as, Jendro, such as Jendorn, Jendon, and Endro, though the first was a very minor character and the second was a planet. The third, however, played a major part in the book "Planet Hoppers." To my knowlege, Talon and Endro have never appeared in the same book, though there are many (including Planet Hoppers, which is in fact an e-book... er, backstory?... written to go along with the Star Wars Roleplaying Game) that I have yet to read.

Yes, I'm a dork.--SBLOUNSKCHED! ^t/_c 09:54, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

It went through STUFF and was declined. Whoever closed it forgot to put it on this page. I'd do it, but I don't know how.—Shwoo 10:00, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Ah, I see. Eh, well, like I said, not worth the main page, but still an interesting coincidence. That's why I said it like that :D

In any case, the character of Talon Karrde was created by Timothy Zahn, not George Lucas. --Sentroyd 19:02, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Closed STUFF
