I think it's just irony.
Besides, you'd have to be clicking on the corner of the "Come on in" to get the mouse over "store".

I would like to say first, before posting this, that do not believe TBC are selling out. at all. But, just for the sake of...sakeness. If you go to http://www.homestarrunner.com and click on come on in, have you noticed your mouse is right on top of store once you have come in? But that's probably just cuz its their job. |

It's always been like that for most of the main pages, if not all of them. I looked.. The "backstage pass" is the only one that it doesn't do that on. It's just because of where the individual buttons are placed.. It's nothing. |

If you click on the top edge of "Come on in", your mouse is just at the bottom of the Downloads button, rather than store. |

Yup, that's a coincidence. I mean, it's make no difference if your cursor would be on the Emails button. No-one clicks on the first thing they see on a page anyways. |

This is pure coincidence. A little rearranging of the buttons and you're on toons or games, or something else. I'm sure TBC didn't place the buttons with that much thought ahead. |

I know it is a coincidence, I just thought it was funny and it was worth pointing out. |

Good find. Either a co-inkidink, or TBC are making a joke. The former is most likely. |

Definately a coincidence. If it's not, then TBC weren't being that smart about it. Nobody would buy something on their first visit, or even if it was the first thing they saw. |

ok then I have a question, right now http://www.homestarrunner.com is my homepage. is there a way I can make it so that its a main page but a different one everytime? |

Even if they made the button bigger and made it dance it wouldn't bother me. Homestar n' pals have given me hundreds of hours of enjoyment for free. One of these days I have to get the DVDs... |

There, you are wrong. I was going to show my sister this thing on the internet (i foget what is was) when the page took a while to load, and the first thing that came up was, yes, a side add. BAM! My sister clickes it thinking that it is what i was showing her. lol |

I changed the rando.xml code around a bit, hosted the swf and xml files, and made an HTML file to hold it all. I also changed the background color of the swf, but that was done with HTML. |

No, it isn't, actually, and I'd prefer it if you would use the PM function to discuss personal matters. |

*Click click* "Whoops I ended up in the store, might as well order something while I'm here." I think its just a coincidence. |

I just found something out. If you click on "come on in" and don't move your mouse, no matter how hard you try you can't get into the store, unless you move your mouse. |

It's coincedince. People are gonna shop at the store anyway, so I don't think they meant for it to do that. |

yeah... i like when duckshirt says go to the store! thats cute. random, but true. |

Hmmm... I can just fine without moving the mouse. Probably has to do with the OS. |
