Looking for a source of a Strong Sad quote.

"Every day we die a little more." I swear to goodness I heard a Strong Sad say this, once, but I misremembered it as being on the The Cheat version of the The Menu.

No. I was wrong. That's "I'm sad that I'm flying." So now I have no idea where the quote actually comes from.

Does anyone have a better memory than me? (The answer is yes.) Can anyone remember from whence it came?

It came from the old Who Said What Now game.

I think it's from the speak and say game that was on the games menu.

This is the correct answer. The game that used to be called "Spin N Say" but then got redesigned into "Who Said What Now" for vague unexplained reasons and got several HRWiki pages locked to avoid discussion on it.

I think it's that the See 'N Say (which the Spin 'N Say basically was) is a trademarked toy, and it was fine for it to be on H*R.com because it was free, but once the Spin 'N Say appeared in a cartoon on the Everything Else Vol. 2 DVD, which was sold for money, then it became (possibly) trademark infringement.

It wasn't a trademark thing. It was changed for undisclosed reasons.

Wow, I somehow never knew about that until just now.

I assumed it would be a recent thing but apparently it happened all the way back in 2007

Strong Sad was quoting the Spin and Say at the time, long before it was changed.

I was oblivious to that until now. It was released when I had just finished high school. I was unaware of Newgrounds.
