''{Reading email}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Strong Bad,<br />
I am going on a long trip and won't be<br />
able to check out "Homestar Runner's<br />
Website" for a long time. What do you<br />
think the greatest advancement for<br />
Strong Badia will be in the next 2<br />
years?<br />
<br />
Your Main Man,<br />
E. Fullmer</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "Strong Bad" stressing "Strong" as if it were "Dear," says "Homestar has a website?" after reading "Homestar Runner's Website for a long time" and says "Oh..." before reading the signature}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{not typing}'' Umm, Endiment...? ''{typing}'' Hang on Endiment. Just for the record, my main man is, and has been since 1987, Van Mundegaarde. And don't you forget it! ''{not typing, a little picture of Strong Bad with a note from Strong Bad to Van comes down}'' Oh, Van, the times we shared. ''{typing}'' Well, as you know, Endy, Strongbadia is on the cutting edge of the future. I can easily predict that the population will have tripled in two years.

''{Cut to Strong Badia}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So by then it will be population: tire and...bundt cake pan.

''{A bundt cake pan appears out of nowhere. The sign changes its population list accordingly.}''

'''STRONG BAD:'''...and Coach Z.

''{Coach Z appears behind the fence, facing away from the camera. The sign changes its population list accordingly again.}''

'''COACH Z:''' I'm takin' a leak!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I also have some good news for you single ladies out there. The cinder block is going to break up with the sign.

''{The cinderblock and sign are separated, and a letter from the cinder block to the sign appears on-screen:}''

<pre>Dear Stopsign,
You are a stopsign and I am a
cinderblock. Therefore I think
we should break up. I hope we
can still be's friends.
-Cinderblock</pre>

'''CINDER BLOCK:''' Dear Stop Sign, you are a stop sign and I am a cinder block.

''{The letter disappears}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Ooh! And we will also have developed a world-class hole.

''{A hole appears in the ground}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And by then, hopefully the Cheat will be finished with the mural I commissioned him to paint on the fence...

''{A mural of the words "FIREWORKS or die" appears on the fence}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...like a freakin' year ago. Slowbie. Oh yeah, and the tire will have definitely won the title.

''(A belt appears on the tire and an invisible crowd cheers.)''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And finally, Strong Sad will have actually succeeded in becoming more whiny.

''{Strong Sad appears out of nowhere}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{pouty voice}'' I don't like food anymore!

''{Cut back to the Compy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Augh! So annoying. Oh, that reminds me. I should probably go let Strong Sad outta the dryer. He's been in there since breakfast.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. After about 10 seconds, Strong Bad gets up. Cut to the dryer. Strong Bad opens it, and discovers a dizzy, fluffy The Cheat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the—? The Cheat?! Where the crap did I leave Strong Sad?

''{Cut to The King of Town's grill. It's closed, but we can hear Strong Sad's voice from within.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, hello? Can anybody hear me? The Cheat has a really nice place in here. And one of his shirts fit me.

''{Cut back to the Compy, with Strong Bad sitting at it as before.}''

==Fun Facts==

===Trivia===
*Revealed: the [[Cinderblock]] is a male, the [[Stop Sign]] is female.
*It's been confirmed that E. Fullmer's first initial stands for "Elder" Fullmer, indicating that he is about to become a Mormon missionary. This could explain why he will be going on a two-year trip and will not be able to check the website for two years, as that is how long Mormon missionaries serve, and they are usually not allowed to use the Internet during that time.
*The Homestar portrait on his website is done using the repousse technique.

===Remarks===
*The [[No Loafing Sign|No Loafing]] sign can be seen when Strong Bad finds The Cheat in the dryer, though the sign is known to be located in the Computer Room.
*This email was released in September 2003, so the changes Strong Bad mentions should have come into fruition by now. To date, none of these predictions have panned out.
*[[Strong Bad]] doesn't look much different in [[1987]].
*The fact that Strong Sad says "The Cheat really has a nice place in here" while he is in [[The King of Town's Grill|the King of Town's grill]] can confirm that the the king's grill is much more spacious on the inside than it looks.

===Inside References===
*The music that plays when the Cinderblock's note is displayed is the same music that played in [[A Decemberween Pageant]] when Marzipan was talking to The Cheat (right after Strong Bad had said, "There's a squid.") and, later, in [[pom pom]] when Strong Bad is writing the letter to [[Pom Pom]]'s parents.
*Strong Sad in [[The King of Town's Grill]] is a reference to [[Where's The Cheat?]].

== DVD Version ==
*The Homestar's website Easter egg is actually part of the email. When you switch the angle using the angle button on your DVD remote, it pops up like a regular webpage window and sticks around for ten or fifteen seconds.
*The Cheat in the Dryer and Strong Sad in the Grill Easter eggs have now been separated. You can now find Strong Sad by selecting a hidden Strong Bad icon in the lower-left corner of the Compy 386 screen.
