Sticky Notes

"Millions, I tell ya!"

Sticky Notes (or Post-Its) are pieces of paper with a temporary adhesive strip on the back. They are predominantly yellow, but are available in many colors. They are an iconic office supply used to make quick and impermanent notes. Post-its are a specific brand of sticky notes. These are often used in pop culture to exemplify tedious and repetitive office environments. These make frequent appearances in the Homestar Runner universe.

One particular sticky note has appeared multiple times: the "DORKS!" sticky note. Strong Bad lovingly sticks it on his Tandy 400 before leaving for vacation. It reads "DORKS!" and has a face with angry eyebrows, a nose, and long, sharp teeth. As an Easter egg, when clicked, the note's face comes to life and says up to four phrases. His irate quotes include and are limited to "Hey!", "Dorks!", "Get offa' me!", and "You stink!". When Strong Bad returns from his holiday, both he and Tandy are disposed of.
