| - | == Easter Eggs ==
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | *When Strong Bad types the word "book," you can click on it and bring up a picture of Strong Bad's idea of this book.
| + | |
| - | *At the end, click on the "50th email [[Swiss Cake Roll]]" to see an [[Old-Timey]] Strong Bad cartoon.

| - | signed, Lord Elsington Hallstingdingdingworth<br /></blockquote>
| + | |
| - | :'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Curses! This is all anyone ever asks me. ''{manning the telegraph}'' You buffoon! Stop. You...carpetbagger. Stop. I'll give you what for!
| + | |
| - | :''{The Sneak walks onscreen}''
| + | |
| - | :'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' The Sneak! How was that? I told that poor sap I'd give him what for! Yes... now go and steal me fresh jam!
| + | |
| - | :''{The Sneak scurries off}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | == Fun Facts ==
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ===Explanations===
| + | |
| - | *When old-timey Strong Bad responds to Lord Elsington Hallstingdingdingworth in the Easter egg, he calls him a "carpetbagger." A [[Wikipedia:carpetbagger|carpetbagger]] is actually a post-Civil War term for a Northerner moving to the South after the war to get rich or gain power.
| + | |
| - | *When Strong Bad says, "I'll leave the key under the at-may," he is speaking [[Wikipedia:Pig Latin|Pig Latin]]. "At-may" would mean "mat."
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ===Trivia===
| + | |
| - | *The title of the page may be a reference to the phrase "Lordy, Lordy! Look who's forty!" which is usually used on someone's 40th birthday, even though this is Strong Bad's 50th email.
| + | |
| - | *The phone ringing sound effect is "ringin.wav", from the Microsoft system sounds.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ===Remarks===
| + | |
| - | *Strong Bad is talking to a potential customer about "[[Soolnds|elephant feet]]." Apparently he is planning to sell [[Strong Sad]]'s legs on the black market. It is later mentioned in the email [[modeling]] that poachers have offered several thousand dollars for Strong Sad's feet.
| + | |
| - | *It is strange that Homestar calls the computer screen a "TV [that] has words on it," yet he immediately knows he can type a response to the email.
| + | |
| - | *This is the first email in which we see the "DELETED" screen on the Compy. The background is blue, whereas it was green on the [[Tandy 400]].
| + | |
| - | *The telegram received by Old-Timey Strong Bad has an incomplete [[Wikipedia:Boolean_algebra|boolean]] [[Wikipedia:truth table|truth table]] in the upper right corner.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ===Goofs===
| + | |
| - | *When Homestar is talking while reading/answering an email, his lips' movements and the movements in the reflection are not in sync.
| + | |
| - | *Right before Strong Bad hangs up the phone, you can see it is not connected to anything.
| + | |
| - | *Telegrams are always typed in upper case. They also never use any punctuation, hence the word STOP at the end of each sentence.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ===Glitches===
| + | |
| - | *When you adjust the contrast while Homestar is at the computer, his reflection isn't affected.
| + | |
| - | *When Strong Bad says "Matt" while typing "DELETED", his reflection appears above the Compy for a moment.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ===Inside References===
| + | |
| - | *Strong Bad starts his email checking by saying, "Ready? Go!" This is a reference to [[spring cleaning]], when he said that to start his spring cleaning.
| + | |
| - | *When he responds to Email #3 ("What is your favorite leg?"), Strong Bad mentions tape-leg. This is a reference to [[tape-leg]], one of his past emails, and represents yet another [[Tape leg|inside joke]] of the Homestar Universe.
| + | |
| - | *The phrase "The system is down" is from [[techno]].
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ===Real-World References===
| + | |
| - | *This is another instance of [[Strong Bad's Computer Malfunctioning]]. The blue "Flagrant System Error" screen is a spoof of the [[Wikipedia:Microsoft Windows|Windows 9x]] [[Wikipedia:Blue_screen_of_death|Blue screen of death]].

Their second album, [[Wikipedia:De La Soul is Dead|De La Soul is Dead]] is on [[Matt Chapman]]'s favorite album list.
| + | |
| - | **'733t3d' — A reference to [[Wikipedia:Leetspeak|1337 speak]], or "Leetspeak," a language used on the Internet where letters are replaced by numbers or symbols. While this is probably meant to say "leeted," it actually says "teeted."
