'''STRONG SAD:''' Guys?! ''{Strong Sad is pelted with dodgeballs.}'' Owww! Oh! Ohw! Augh! Okay, you guys! ''{Another ball is tossed at him.}'' Augh! It's not funny. ''{Another ball is tossed at him.}'' Augh! I'm kinda... ''{Another ball is tossed at him.}'' Augh! ...unable to defend myself. ''{Another 2 balls are tossed at him}'' Oww! Oh! More so than usual.

''{Cut to Strong Sad standing in the Field with his hands glued to his butt. Homestar walks up to him.}''
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, hohoh... Oh, hey, Homestar!
+
-
 
+
-
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Er, Strong Sad. Why are you touching your buttocks? That's pretty weird.
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG SAD:''' I can't help it!
+
-
 
+
-
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, that is ''really'' weird.

-
'''STRONG SAD:''' No, wait, you don't understand!
+
-
 
+
-
'''BUBS:''' Grabbing your butt? That's not very ladylike.
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG SAD:''' I'm not a lady.
+
-
 
+
-
'''BUBS:''' Oh! Whatever.
+
-
 
+
-
''{Bubs walks away and Strong Bad walks up}''
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG SAD:''' Augh, this is getting frustrating!
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, Strong Sad. Fancy seeing you here! And uncontrollably grabbing your own butt, I see. Oh, don't let me get in the way. Carry on!
+

== Easter Eggs ==
+
-
 
+
-
*If you choose "YES", after Strong Sad gets hit with dodgeballs, you can click the target on his belly to play the [[Peg Strong Sad]] game.
+
-
<!--Add all comments about the Peg Strong Sad game to the Peg Strong Sad Page-->
+
-
 
+
-
== Fun Facts ==
+
-
===Explanations===
+
-
*[http://www.interwood.com/a/p/didi/DidiDetails.shtml Didi Seven] and [http://www.valspar.com/val/resident/goof-off.jsp Goof-Off] are real-world cleaning solvents.
+
-
 
+
-
===Trivia===
+
-
*When this email was first released, the extra choices weren't available; instead it immediately progressed to the "different direction" bit (which is why it's the only choice that continues with Strong Bad still typing). The choices were added a few weeks later.
+
-
*This was, until [[rock opera]], the only email to have an "again" option at the end, allowing for easier access to the un-selected choices.
+
-
*This was the first email to be over 2 minutes in length.
+
-
<!-- Please do not add facts about the Peg Strong Sad game, they are mentioned on the page "Peg Strong Sad" -->
+
-
 
+
-
===Remarks===
+
-
*When the book allowing you to chose your options comes up, you can still click the contrast buttons.
+
-
<!-- Please do not add facts about the Peg Strong Sad game, they are mentioned on the page "Peg Strong Sad" -->
+
-
 
+
-
===Goofs===
+
-
*At the end of the "different direction" choice, The Paper comes down over the top black border.
+
-
*Throughout Strong Sad's speech in the beginning of the "Maybe" choice, background noises can be heard in the voice recording, including a thump.
+
-
*At the end of the "maybe" choice, Strong Bad's left hand is actually his right hand, upside down.
+
-
<!-- Please do not add facts about the Peg Strong Sad game, they are mentioned on the page "Peg Strong Sad" -->
+
-
 
+
-
===Inside References===
+
-
*If you pick the "Different Direction" choice where Strong Sad has his hands glued to his butt, Coach Z walks by and says "Atta Boy, Strong Sad!" This is a reference to Coach Z's constant habit of [[butt-patting]].
+
-
*This is the first time "[[mash]]" is used instead of press.
+
-
 
+
-
===Real-World References===
+
-
*This email is a reference to/satire of the [[Wikipedia:Choose Your Own Adventure|Choose Your Own Adventure]] series of children's books created by [[Wikipedia:Edward Packard|Edward Packard]], in which the reader controls the direction of the story by choosing from a number of options, and is then redirected to a page much further away.
+
-
*In the book's picture, Strong Bad is in a cave, which has nothing to do with this email, but is a classic example of the type of illustrations found in the Choose Your Own Adventure books.
+
-
 
+
-
==DVD Version==
+
-
*The DVD Version has the Peg Strong Sad game removed.
