==Transcript==
''{Strong Sad is standing in The Field, within a lemonade stand with a sign reading "<s>LEMONADE</s> Dusty Novels 99<small>&cent;</small>" and a picture of a lemon; There are books in front of him with spider webs on them}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Nothin' beats the heat like a dusty, musty novel. Step right up and take home a tome.

''{Zoom out to reveal Homestar Runner standing near the stand}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Sad, you've had some bad ideas in your time. But ''this'' is the best idea you've ever had! ''{A faint jingle is heard in the background}'' You'll make millions!

''{The jingle gets louder}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{offscreen}'' BAH-lo-NEH!

''{As he speaks and holds the last syllable, Bubs drives his Baloney Sammich Truck into Strong Sad's booth, knocking both it and Strong Sad off screen}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh! It's the baloneym'n! ''{eagerly}'' What should I get, what should I get?

''{Cut to reveal a closer shot of Bubs and Homestar}''

'''BUBS:''' Brand new for this season! I got the unrecognizable ''{Holds up a baloney sandwich shaped like a plane with a face and a two at the front}'' summer movie tie-in sammich!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Which movie is it from?

''{Slight pause; Bubs takes a quick look at the sandwich and looks back at Homestar}''

'''BUBS:''' The sequel!

''{Homestar opens his mouth in surprise; A beep is heard, and the scene switches to a scene with Strong Bad and Bubs}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whaddya got that'll cool me cool me cool me down? 

'''BUBS:''' I got this baloney sammich ''{Holds up a sandwich shaped like a double popsicle}'' shaped like a popsicle!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll take it! ''{Bubs hands the sandwich to Strong Bad, and Strong Bad starts speaking to the viewers}'' That should be enough to fool my brain. ''{Strong Bad takes the sandwich and starts rubbing it on his head}'' Oh yeah, that's the stuff.

''{The scene darkens, and an oval-like shape opens up in Strong Bad's head, revealing an "angel" and "devil" Strong Bad}''

'''DEVIL STRONG BAD:''' Y'see this guy? Rubbin' a sammich on his head?

'''ANGEL STRONG BAD:''' I know, I know... Just let it go. You gotta pick your battles.

''{Another beep is heard, and the scene switches again to a scene with Homestar and Bubs, only from ''inside'' the Baloney Sammich truck}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I can't decide between the one with the gumball in the center, or the one shaped like there's a bite taken out of it.

''{Cut back to an outside view of the two's conversation}''

'''BUBS:''' Yeah... ''shaped'' like there's a bite taken out of it.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah. Shaped like there's a bite taken out of it.

''{Cut to a closer view of Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{In a different tone}'' Yeeeeaaah. Shaped ''{Comes down hard on the -d part of the word}'' like there's a bite taken out of it.

''{Cut to a close shot of Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, ''{angrily}'' shaped like there's a bite taken out of it!

''{Another close view of Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' Yeah&mdash; 

''{Bubs is cut off; A beep is heard and the scene transitions into one with The King of Town, who appears to be sinking very slowly, and Bubs}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' I'll take one of everything&mdash;

'''BUBS:''' Mmhmm.

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Two of everything&mdash;

'''BUBS:''' Yep.

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Three of everything&mdash;

'''BUBS:''' Okay.

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Y'got any "Five of everything"?

'''BUBS:''' I got ''six'' of those!

'''KING OF TOWN:''' And hurry it up, ''{Cut to a wider shot of the two, The King of Town seems to be melting in the foreground}'' I'm ''melting'' over here!

''{A beep is heard again, and the scene cuts to another with Homestar and Strong Bad; They are standing near the rear of the truck, with a bike behind them; Homestar has his hat on backwards, and Strong Bad has mustard smeared on his forehead}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What? You didn't hear man? Man, man. This kid, was doin' a flip on his 180. Busted his head, man. Busted his head.

''{Cut to closer view of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, ''what'' are you talking about?

''{Cut to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Summer talk.

''{Cut to original view}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And did this "head-busting" happen to anyone in particular?

''{Cut back to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{eyelids lower}'' No, summer talk! The kind of stuff that you talk about in the summer! 

''{Cut to Strong Bad again; Cricket noises are heard}''

''{After a few seconds, noises stop; Cut back to the normal view of Homestar and Strong Bad}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{angrily}'' Kids getting hurt on bikes! 

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ohhhhh!

''{Another beep is heard; Cut to a scene with Coach Z ordering from the truck}''
 
'''COACH Z:''' I'll have a&mdash;

'''BUBS:''' I'm all out! 

'''COACH Z:''' Well then what about the&mdash;

'''BUBS:''' Outta' that one too!

'''COACH Z:''' Ah, then gimme a&mdash;

'''BUBS:''' Nowhere to be found!

''{Zoom in on Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' All I got left is this thirty-two dollar napkin! ''{Holds up a napkin}''

'''COACH Z:''' Ooh! ''{Cut to a close view of Coach Z}'' I could really put that thing through its paces.

''{A beep is heard, and the scene transitions again; Strong Bad is walking away from the truck, while Homestar is looking at Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' Well that's it for this summer, kids. I gotta mosey on! I got an expired tag, expired license, and expired mayonnaise! 

''{Bubs turns to the front of the truck; Cut to a shot of the other side of the truck while it drives off}''

'''BUBS:''' Ba-lo-ney!

''{Homestar starts to run after the departing truck and stops}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Farewell, baloneym'n! And may your warbly theme song serve as a reminder that you probably have a really sketchy past. 

''{Zoom out to reveal Strong Sad, who has tire-like markings on his body, lying next to his broken novel stand}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{in pain}'' Ohh...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Seriously, Strong Sad, you'll make ''millions''! 

''{A little bit of music is heard as the screen turns black, and the word "END" is written with each letter being a baloney sandwich; For a few seconds, Strong Sad can be heard groaning before the toon ends}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*A [[wiktionary:tome|tome]] is a large or scholarly book.
*To [[wiktionary:put through its paces|put something through its paces]] means to test the ability or skill of a person or system.

===Remarks===
* When the toon was first released, the lower-left sandwich changed several times during the toon. It was later changed so that it displayed the "Taste Tested" sandwich throughout the entire toon.
**Initially, it was labeled "Dog Food" sandwich, but was shaped like a normal baloney sandwich.
**Later on, this "Dog Food Sandwich" had bread in the shape of a dog bone.
**The only scene in which the "Taste Tested" sandwich originally appeared was when Bubs and Homestar were discussing it.
*The toons preview for this short doesn't show the line of mustard on Strong Bad's head and still has "Dog Food Sandwich" in the lower left corner.
*At the time Bubs is conversing with The King of Town, he apparently has on hand at least <!-- 1+2+3+(5*6)=36 -->36 of everything. Since Bubs has at least six varieties of sandwich (not including the "Summer Movie Tie-in Sammich"), he would have at least <!-- (1+2+3+(5*6))*6=216 -->216 sandwiches in his truck. (252 if "Summer Movie Tie-in Sammich" is counted)
*When Bubs is talking to the King of Town, a faint hum can be heard on Bubs' initial three responses.
**A similar incident occurred when Homestar almost has his "Migraine Time" in [[Play Date]].

===Goofs===
*After the toon zooms out, the King of Town's left eye does not move as he melts.
*The outline of the baloney on the sandwich with the bite in it overlaps the outline of the bread in all scenes except the scene where Homestar contemplates ordering it.

===Inside References===
*The Baloney Sammich Truck was first seen in [[Weclome Back]], as Bubs' summer job, then seen again in [[Happy Dethemberween]] as the Dethemberween [[Thnikkaman]]'s "unmarked" van.
*Bubs tries to sell Coach Z a [[Bubs's Napkins|napkin]].
*The term "warbly" was also used to describe a campfire song in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 11]]. 
*Homestar's pronunciation of Baloneyman is another example of [[M'n|"man" being pronounced as "m'n"]].
*Strong Bad asking for something to "cool me cool me cool me down" echoes his similar line, "hose me hose me hose me down", in [[couch patch]].
*Homestar's bike and wearing his hat backwards are references to [[bike thief]].
*The bite taken out of the "Taste Tested" sandwich is reminiscent of the [[SBLOUNSKCHED! Bar]], which featured a similar "bite mark".
