We are finally going to discuss this.
How does Strong Bad type with boxing gloves on?
Author:  The Tire [ Mon Jul 11, 2005 3:16 pm ]
Post subject: 
The same way you do. He puts his "hands" or boxing gloves on the keyboard and hits the appropriate keys.

Strong Bad can do anything he wants except getting people to stop saying "Crappfully crap"

We've never had a fully dedicated thread, which puzzles me since it's the most asked question on the website.

I think he hits the keys with his knuckles. It seems like a Strong Bad thing to do.

And I'm hoping it will remain that way. Do you really think TBC will ever have a good answer for it that won't just seem anticlimactic, no matter how creative? It's just unexplainable cartoon magic, like the millions of others before me have said it already.

Too late! Here it is.

lemme see dkesirt awld? No. Typing like that can't work. I think he has little finger like things that poke the keys that come out of his boxing gloves. He could have short range psycic powers, another product of the blue gem.

Got a couple guesses.
1. It's like Homestar and Marzipan, what with the invisible hands and all. SB may have invisible fingers outside of his boxing gloves. Or telekinesis, which they juuuust might all use.
2. Boxing gloves are, on the bottom, really flexible, so fingers can sort of poke bumps in them which we don't see.
3. The boxing gloves are somewhat sharper at the bottoms, in an almost imperceptible way. SB can simply control it so well that he hits the sharper outcrop on the bottom on the keys exactly.

He has invisible fingers on his boxing gloves. Like how Homestar, Marzipan and the KOT have invisible arms!
EDIT: Wait, TheTinyGiant already put that.

I like this theory.

Maybe there are holes in the palms of his boxing gloves. We've never seen them open, since his hand's always in a fist.

ugh i hate threads like these. He just does there's no answer. How does homestar lift object with now hands? There's a classic. Let's all discuss that. Yeah, i think he has invisible elves at his sides who can read his mind and lift stuff for him.[/facetiousness]
BUH.

Well, we have indeed seen a side view of SB typing, and it's pretty clear his boxing gloves don't seem to change shape and certainly don't have holes. He just taps the keys with the finger part of the gloves.
My big question is, how can SB out-type me?!? That's supposed to be impossible! I swear, he's gotta be typing like 200 wpm on what I'm still sure is a qwerty keyboard, and no one can do that. With a dvorak keyboard yes, but that's cheating.

....um....that was weird...good point though on the side view deal..

A better question is; why is Homestar's pants-less-ness the subject of a SBemail but Strong Sad's full nudity never mentioned?

He has worn the blue ones before...

maby he has a voice to text translator on his lappy. that would also explain why he feels the need to read the email out loud while he is typing it.

Hey, that's a good one. I'm gonna stand by it. He only pretends to type.

Wouldn't he then retype the sender's email?

It turns on when SB hits the "reply" key.

It's just like asking, how does Marge's hair stay up? How does Homestar pick up stuff without any arms? How do Weebl and Bob eat pie?
It's just one of the many unanswered questions that weren't suposed to ever be answered

:sb: Strong Bad uses that blue dimond thing on his head to press the keys like in that sbemail super-powers, if he can open cold-one and flick off Homestar's hat he can type

Sorry to get off suject, and to show my n00b, but I don't now what dvorak keyboard looks like. Can having the keys in different places really make you type faster?
Author:  Ju Ju Master [ Sat Aug 13, 2005 7:59 pm ]
Post subject: 
Probably yes, since they're in easier to reach places. But I've used a qwerty keyboard for too long now to switch, though it'd probably be easiuer for me, seeing as I only type with two fingers (yet I type very quickly)

I'd assume he'd type with his thumbs (if you look at his hands, he has thumbs). It would take a while, but he's probably quite proficient at it by now.

See? It takes a long time, but he's had practice. (I typed that with my thumbs.)

I like the voice-to-text idea, though.
Author:  Black Metal [ Sat Aug 13, 2005 9:39 pm ]
Post subject:  All good theories
Hmmm... that just might work, mandy. I don't see how he'd type insanely fast ever since the first email, though. I like the theory of how SB has a voice to text translator. I wonder if the question will ever be answered.
