STRONG BAD: Whoa! Electronic mail!
Dear Strong Bad, My girlfriend is really annoying because she calls me when I'm trying to study. What should I do? Crapfully yours, Roy
STRONG BAD: {typing} Oh, well! I think I might have a little piece of advice for you, Roy. Close the book and quit being such a dork-on!!!!!!! {clears screen} I mean, this girl obviously has the hots for you man. Why do you think she's calling you? I mean, you've got the potential to get 1st, 2nd, and quite possibly even 3rd base. So unless you're studying a book called "This Book is Better than 1st, 2nd, and Quite Possibly Even 3rd Base", I suggest you hightail it over to your girlfriend's house ASAP, man! {clears screen} And also, send me a copy of that book. It sounds pretty good. You know what...scratch that. You keep studying Roy, I'm going over to your girlfriend's house.
{He walks away from the computer and a few seconds later he returns back}
STRONG BAD: Uh, I forgot. I don't know her name or where she lives, but your girlfriend still loves me, Roy.
{The Paper comes out and it says "Click here to e-mail strong bad", click on the text to email him.}

Fun Facts
Trivia
- This is the first email to have an immediately clickable Easter egg in it.
Inside References
- In the DVD version, the website is bookazon.egg. This is a reference to Coach Z and Homestar's conversation in pom pom.
Real-World References
- Tempe Sam, one of the reviewers for This Book is Better than 1st, 2nd, and Quite Possibly Even 3rd Base, is planning to write a book called Leftover Sam and the Leftover Sam Book. This may be a reference to the band "Leftover Salmon".
- bookazon.com is a parody of http://www.amazon.com/
Remarks
- According to Strong Bad in the previous email, Lemmy from Motorhead and the band Krokus would guest-star in this email, even though they didn't.
DVD Version
- If you click on the hidden Strong Bad icon in the bottom left-hand corner of the Tandy 400's screen at the end of the email, you'll get the Bookazon.com site.
- The Easter egg looks different than it does on the site. Among the differences are:
- The site is now named bookazon.egg, a reference to the e-mail pom pom where Homestar says that he thinks the Web page ends with "dot-egg" instead of "dot-com".
- The tabs now read "WELCOME," "STORE," "BOOKS," "VIDELECTRIX," "BVD," "CRAIG," "PRODUKTS," and "AB-ABBERS"
- Two of the advertisements from Under Construction (the ones for Affordable Hosting and Spam Free Living) now adorn the right side of the screen.
- As well, the Purchase button section now reads "BUYIN' TIME? BUY THIS JUNK NOW?"
- Strong Bad also gives his reading of the site, as transcribed below.
