-	LIMOZEEN</blockquote>	+
-	*Click on the second "Sunday" to play [[Awexome Cross]].	+
-	[[Image:Limozeentruck.PNG|thumb|200px|Because it's something!]]	+
-	*Click on the "Someday" to see an autographed [[Limozeen]] picture. "Because It's Midnite" is sung in the background.	+
-		+
-	== Fun Facts ==	+
-	===Explanations===	+
-	*A loud voice booming "Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!" or any word repeated, as if an echo, is a commonly mocked style of advertising used for [[Wikipedia:Monster truck|monster truck races]].	+
-	*[[Wikipedia:Brutus|Brutus]] most commonly refers to [[Wikipedia:Marcus Junius Brutus|Marcus Junius Brutus]], friend and assassin of [[Wikipedia:Julius Caesar|Caesar]].	+
-		+
-	===Remarks===	+
-	*There are apparently two authors of this email, but they say "''I'' think you would be great for the voiceovers." However, one of them could have been dictating the email.	+
-	*For some reason, in the picture of Limozeen, there are four extra hands floating around the band members. One is in front of [[Perry Palaroncini|Perry]] and [[Larry Palaroncini|Larry]], one behind Perry, one behind [[Gary Palaroncini|Gary]] and the last one behind Larry.	+
-	*In the "Awexome Cross" ad and the "someday" Easter egg, the bass player plays his first note a step too high, then corrects himself on the second beat.	+
-	*As with a few other cartoons on the website, the King of Town is oddly using an older design for this e-mail.	+
-	*The Paper comes down slightly faster than most other e-mails.	+
-	*Strong Bad doesn't capitalize either Sunday when he types them.	+
-		+
-	===Goofs===	+
-	*The Back link extends farther to the left than the word itself.	+
-		+
-	===Inside References===	+
-	*"Toons! Games! I'm gonna check my eeeemail..." is a reference to all the [[Main Pages]].	+
-	*Strong Bad calls one of the email's authors "[[Dan]]" instead of "Stan".	+
-		+
-	===Real-World References===	+
-	*The jumpsuit The Cheat is wearing is similar to the jumpsuit worn by the famous daredevil [[Wikipedia:Evel Knievel|Evel Knievel]] during his famous motorcycle jumps.  However, in design (specifically, the red and blue head-to-toe piping with stars) it is actually closer to the jumpsuit worn by hapless stuntman [[Wikipedia:Super Dave Osborne|Super Dave Osborne]]. The image of The Cheat inside the tire is also a possible allusion to one of Super Dave's more famous (and disasterous) stunts, where he rode in the center of a giant yo-yo.	+
-	*The bottles of maple syrup around the cardboard box are designed similarly to those of Mrs. Butterworth's, a famous syrup brand.	+
-	*The line "Let's do this like Brutus" comes from [http://www.lyricsdepot.com/de-la-soul/skit-1.html a skit] on the [[Wikipedia:De La Soul|De La Soul]] album [[Wikipedia:De La Soul Is Dead|"De La Soul Is Dead"]].	+
-	*The chicken bucket that says "KnF'nC" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Guns N' Roses|Guns N' Roses]], who used the acronym "GnF'nR" during the [[Wikipedia:Use Your Illusion I|Use Your Illusion]] era. The 2000-2004 incarnation of the band contained guitarist [[Wikipedia:Buckethead|Buckethead]], who wears a [[Wikipedia:KFC|KFC]] bucket on his head like a hat.	+
-	<!-- The Monty Python "Stan and Loretta" reference was declined in STUFF. Please do not add it. -->	+
-		+
-	===Fast Forward===	+
-	*The Limozeen song "[[Because It's Midnite]]" would eventually appear on the [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits|Strong Bad Sings CD]].	+
-	*Also the King of Town would later hold the chicken bucket in [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]].	+
-	*"Awexome Cross 98" is available on the [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|current game menu]] with more levels.	+
-		+
-	== DVD Version ==	+
-	*The Awexome Cross '98 Easter egg is disabled for obvious reasons.	+
-	*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.	+
-		+
-	=== Commentary Transcript ===	+
-	('''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]])	+
-		+
-	'''MATT:''' We were just discussing, uh, how there are some Strong Bad Emails that really tip their hand with the name of them—	+
-		+
-	'''MIKE:''' The title, yeah.	+
-		+
-	'''MATT:''' Yeah, like this one.	+
-		+
-	'''MIKE:''' You kind of know what it's going to be about.	+
-		+
-	'''MATT:''' ''{almost simultaneously}'' Know what it's going to be about.	+
-		+
-	'''MIKE:''' Yeah.	+
-		+
-	'''MATT:''' This is—was this the first instan—nah, I guess he's always getting people's names wrong. That's a common theme.	+
-		+
-	'''MIKE:''' I don't know if that's—I don't know if he's—this... Maybe it's the first time.	+
-		+
-	'''MATT:''' Who knows?	+
-		+
-	'''MIKE:''' Somebody, uh, let us know. One of you callers. One of our callers will probably let us know.	+
-		+
-	'''MATT:''' Mike, we don't have callers.	+
-		+
-	'''MIKE:''' We should, uh, have a radio show.	+
-		+
-	'''MATT:''' Mike, no.	+
-		+
-	'''MIKE:''' Like, this is a radio show.	+
-		+
-	'''MATT:''' It's not.	+
-		+
-	'''MIKE:''' ''{adopts gravelly voice}'' All right, all right.	+
-		+
-	''{Matt laughs}''	+
-		+
-	'''MIKE:''' Uhm...	+
-		+
-	'''MATT:''' So here we go. That's The Cheat in his Evel Knievel outfit, obviously, which our mom made us for—or made our ''oldest'' brother first for Halloween—	+
-		+
-	'''MIKE:''' Yep.	+
-		+
-	'''MATT:''' —and then I think it got passed down to all of us. I think in, like, 1987 I was wearing an Evel Knievel ''{Mike laughs}'' and I, like, didn't know that he wasn't very popular anymore. And he says "Let's do this like Brutus" there, not "Buddhists." A lot of people think he says that, but that's just a, uh...comment. It's in a De La Soul song or it's on the De La Soul album "De La Soul is Dead." Doesn't Flavor Flav say it at some point?	+
-		+
-	'''MIKE:''' I think so, yeah.	+
-		+
-	'''MATT:''' KnF'nC. That's a reference to GnF'nR, Drivin' N' Cryin'.	+
-		+
-	'''MIKE:''' That's—	+
-		+
-	'''MATT:''' That's—all four of those are our big brother Donnie, very seriously in the year 1987 dressed as Vince Neil for Halloween. There you have it. And then a bunch of extra limbs.	+
-		+
-	''{Mike laughs}''	+
-		+
-	'''MATT:''' And of course, there you go. Limozeen given...wings...wings of steel ''{Mike laughs}'' you know, with which to fly.	+
-		+
-	=== Fun Facts ===	+
-	*Drivin' N' Cryin' was a Southern rock band famous in the Georgia region that never really achieved national fame.	+
-	*[[Wikipedia:Vince Neil|Vince Neil]] is the lead singer for the band [[Wikipedia:Mötley Crüe|Mötley Crüe]].	+
-	*"Wings of steel" combined with the lyric "wings of a bat" refer to the 1960s cartoon [[Wikipedia:Batfink|''Batfink'']], whose eponymous hero is a crime-fighting bat with steel wings.	+
