Itama: My 2 cents on the page

{{tbd}}
I continue to believe that this does not deserve an article. First of all, the Strong Bad Email hiatus section is already covered on [[Strong Bad Email]], and that's where it belongs, not here. As for the current complete hiatus, I don't think there's enough to say. All there is is "the site has been on hiatus since November 2009, with a brief return for April Fool's Day 2010." That's pretty much what it says now, and that's pretty much all the potential it has. If the hiatus ever ends, then it might have a spot on [[Acknowledged Update Delays]], but for now, it does not merit coverage. '''Delete.''' {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 06:09, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
:I have to agree with Heimstern here, with same reasons. So, '''delete''' as well. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 07:05, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

::I think it's an interesting article. It does not just cover the Strong bad Email hiatus. I think we should '''keep''' as of now. {{User:MeltingObject}} 07:05, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
:::My comment didn't only address the Sbemail hiatus, either. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 14:30, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
::::For right now, I would agree that this article doesn't have much information on it. However, the Acknowledge Update Delays page has no information on the current break whatsoever, and Strong Bad Emails only says "They again went on hiatus in October of 2009 and have been since then." I feel that a not insignificant amount of people would come to the wiki to find out about the recent shortage of toons. If we put a few more facts about current projects we know TBC are working on, like Poker Night at the Inventory, I think this might merit its own page, and possibly a main page link as well (to cut down on people posting "Is HR coming back or not?" on talk pages everywhere). '''Keep'''. {{User:Itama/sig}} 06:04, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Squirrels

Itama: singular squirrel in Fan Costumes

[[Image:Squirrel.PNG|thumb|"I made some soup out of the rest of your family just last night! Isn't that great?"]]

'''[[Wikipedia:Squirrel|Squirrels]]''' are yet another one of the many kinds of animals that appear or are mentioned in the [[Homestar Runner universe]].

==Appearances==
*Email [[kids' book]] — [[Strong Bad]] edits the book by drawing a squirrel in the hands of a kid playing baseball, and changes the caption to make it say "Some people are squirrel-handed."
*[[Fan Costume Commentary]] — Upon seeing an image of [[The Cheat]] carved into a pumpkin, Strong Bad guesses that the people who made the pumpkin had paid a squirrel to gnaw the image into it. He then said that it was a waste of money, and that the squirrels' rates were "pretendous".
*Email [[old comics]] — In one panel of [[The Castlefunnies]], a squirrel is shown running away with a bag of money.
*[[A Folky Tale]] — [[Saddy Dumpington]] tries to spread cheer to [[Folk Tale World#The Squirrel|a squirrel]] by telling him that he eats squirrels all the time, and that he had recently made soup out of the rest of the squirrel's family. The squirrel then drops his acorn and cried.
*Email [[pop-up]] — The inside cover of Strong Bad's pop-up book reads "From the libarry of D. Squirrel", and has a drawing of a dead squirrel.
*Email [[retirement]] — When writing to the Bakery Thrift Store, Strong Bad sarcastically asks if he should start collecting roadkill squirrels, glue cotton balls to their butts and open an "Aftermarket Rabbit Thrift Store", and then concludes that he should.
*[[Sketchbook 2007#SK-2007-03-22|Sketchbook]] — In the March 22, 2007 sketchbook, one of the designs for a possible [[drive-thru]] speaker is a squirrel holding an acorn.
*Email [[magic trick]] — A magician in a book is shown holding a squirrel in his hand... only to shove it down his [[pants]].
*[[Strong Badia the Free]] — Homestar mentions that there is a squirrel in his attic which he sometimes mistakes for a [[ghost]].

How do you type with boxing gloves on?

Itama — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 23:52:08 GMT

Itama: no relevance to typing- sounds more like Lack of Visible Body Parts

[[Image:compy 386 side view.png|thumb|I don't see any fingers, do ''you'' see any fingers?]]
[[Image:Stoyboard boxing gloves.PNG|thumb|A claustrophobic close-up]]
[[Image:Typing with gloves on.PNG|thumb|Clickety clack clack]]

'''"How do you type with boxing gloves on?"''' and its variants are questions that [[Strong Bad]] is asked on a regular basis in his [[Strong Bad Email|emails]]. [[The Brothers Chaps]] obviously must be asked it so often that they made it a running gag.

Strong Bad hates this question, and it is often [[DELETED]]. [[Old-Timey Strong Bad]] is apparently frequently asked the similar question, "How do you manage the [[Supra Modern Telegram|telegramophone]] whilst wearing gentleman's sport gloves?" Strong Bad parodies this question in the [[Fan Costume Commentary]] and the email [[vacation]]. In the DVD commentary for the email [[video games]], The Brothers Chaps say that they might come up with a way to answer this question someday. However, in February 2006, they also included this question as one of five topics which will likely [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006#Pre-animation Process - 4:05 p.m.|never be addressed in a Strong Bad Email]].

On a related note, Strong Bad seems capable of typing not only with his boxing gloves, but with any part of his body he wishes. In [[sisters]] he types "head—hit—keyboard" by striking the keyboard with his head, and in [[funny]] he types "WOAH!! I CAN TYPE WITH ONE FOOT!" by hitting the keyboard with his foot. In [[bottom 10]], he even typed when his keyboard was covered in [[puking|vomit]], and in [[tape-leg]], he typed with one hand while removing tape from his shoe. Likewise, in [[crying]], he typed a complete sentence, with punctuation and spelling, with one hand, while holding up a drawing of [[Li'l Brudder]] with the other.

Oddly enough, in [[dullard]] Strong Bad types with his thumbs facing up, as if he were touching the keys with the bottoms of his fists.

At one point, in the email [[fingers]], he tried prosthetic fingers made of various items such as [[prawn]], action figures, etc. Their effect on his typing skills, though, was disastrous. However, in [[morning routine]] he was able to type successfully with a [[Potate]] bag covering his right hand.

In the email [[highschool]], [[Teenage Variation|Teenage Strong Bad]] plays the keyboard in [[The Homestar Runner Mysfit-steries]], even though he doesn't have fingers.

In the email [[pop-up]], the [[Tandy 400]] was featured in the book asking "HOW TYPE BOX GLOVES?" Strong Bad described this as "his [[Crap|crappy]] old computer, asking the same crappy old questions."

In the email [[part-time job]], Strong Bad portrays himself in a drawing without his left glove on, displaying 3 fingers instead.

A similar question that gets asked often is how [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]], [[Marzipan]], [[The King of Town]], and [[Homsar]], among other characters, are able to pick things up [[Lack of Visible Arms|without having any arms]].

==Appearances==
*Email [[spring cleaning]]
*Email [[50 emails]] (Homestar tries to delete this one)
*Email [[fingers]]
*Email [[huttah!]]
*[[Fan Costume Commentary]]
*Email [[virus]] (at the end, in Strong Bad's crying scene, as "How do you text with boxing gloves on?")
*Email [[pop-up]] (on the Tandy page in the pop-up book as "HOW TYPE BOX GLOVES?")
*[[Sbemail 150?!?]]
*Email [[your funeral]]
*Email [[email thunder]] ([[email thunder#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]]) ([[Matt Chapman]] asks, "How does Homestar type with no gloves of any kind on?")
*[[Hremail 7]] (While waving his arm, Strong Bad starts to ask "How am ''I'' supposed to type with—" before [[The Cheat]] cuts him off with a reply. Strong Bad accepts The Cheat's answer.)

==Variations==
*Email [[some kinda robot]] — Strong Bad is asked if he takes off his boxing gloves before going to bed.
*Email [[the bird]] — Strong Bad was asked if it was hard [[Double deuce|flip someone off]] with boxing gloves on.
*[[Nintendo Power July 2008 Interview]] — Strong Bad is asked "How hard is it to play Wii with your Power Glove on?"
*[[Strong Badia the Free]] — Strong Bad complains that he can't make template emails on the [[Snacky 186]] with boxing gloves on, and says that "Typing I can handle; don't ask me how."

Talk:Tomatocycle

Itama — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 06:08:41 GMT

Itama: Reviving old debate

{{tbd}}
I think this is an important item, at least as important as [[The Blue Ones]], but what do you think? --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 22:16, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
:it has only one appearance. It doesn't deserve a page.--{{User:Record307/sig}} 23:39, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
:: If it gets another appearance in the next ten toons, we should keep it. If not, bye bye.[[User:Doctorwho295|Doctorwho295]] 14:37, 22 April 2009
:::As per the inclusion guideline, "Page relating to a H*R-specific item needs only one appearance in Homestar Runner toons, as long as it played an important role." The tomatocycle is certain HR specific, and I would argue it had an important role: It was shown twice, beginning and end (and had done something interesting, namely, falling apart, between these appearances), it was specifically focused on, when Strong Mad pulled it out and the toon zoomed in on it, and the page title referred to it specifically and by name. Definitely enough for a page, I think. -[[Special:Contributions/170.223.0.55|170.223.0.55]] 20:58, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
::::A couple passing glances is not an important role by any stretch. If he had been holding a banana, it would have had little to no bearing on the main content of the toon at all. ''delete'' [[Special:Contributions/98.222.134.36|98.222.134.36]] 22:59, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
::::: Yeah, but the fact is he did NOT hold up a banana. The title references it, so it must be important to the [[Chapmans]]. It even got a close up. How is ''that'' a passing glance? --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 09:58, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
::::::Neither of those facts constitute a important role in the toon. As of now, it's a one off gag. I'm not saying we shouldn't document the Tomatocycle, but there simply isn't enough interesting content about it to warrant a page. [[Special:Contributions/98.222.134.36|98.222.134.36]] 13:13, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
:::::::Exactly, this is the first time we have ever seen this item. We'll just have to wait till the next toon, for now '''Delete'''--{{User:Record307/sig}} 15:03, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
::::::::Just to note, for the precedent regarding articles about HR-specific objects that have appeared only once, one might glance at these couple of discussions: [http://hrwiki.org/index.php/Talk:C%27mon!_It%27s_FOG!], [http://hrwiki.org/index.php/Talk:Fthoom-Bang], [http://hrwiki.org/index.php/Talk:Hamburger_Shampoo] -[[Special:Contributions/128.103.10.135|128.103.10.135]] 16:26, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::'''Delete that mess'''. It's there for maybe five seconds as a one-off joke; the page title is just as one-off. No reason this deserves its own page yet.--[[User:Big Dog|Big Dog]] 21:59, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
::::::::::The main flaw with 128.103.10.135's argument is that all those articles are for ''products'' unique to H*R. You will not be able to buy a can of [[C'mon! It's FOG!]], [[Fthoom-Bang]] fireworks or a bottle of [[Hamburger Shampoo]] in the real world, which is why they are allowed to have their own articles, even though they appear just once. The Tomatocycle, however, is not a product, nor is it completely specific to H*R. Anyone could make a model motorcycle out of sausages and tomatoes. (I bet there's at least one website that does this sort of crap all the time.) Yes, TBC have gone the extra mile and given it an actual name, but does it ''really'' play an important role in the toon it appears in? No, I do not think so. The Cheat's day would not have been any different had Strong Mad not made that Tomatocycle. It is also not as important as The Blue Ones because it is not a major plot device used to motivate any of the characters. After summing up this argument so far, I'm leaning towards a '''delete'''. Having a page on Strong Mad's tomatocycle is like having an article on Strong Mad's origami lotus flower and praying mantis from [[unused emails]]. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 18:08, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

::::::::::::Not once in the [[Hrwiki:inclusion guidelines]] is there any mention it needs to be a product. On the contrary it claims that it only needs to be 1: An important plot item (received a close-up, fell apart as a gag and mentioned in page description), 2: It must be a seperated entity that is not an item that is part of his character (i.e. no [[Poopsmith]] shovels) and 3: must be unique to the H*R universe. Nowhere on the internet will you find a Tomatocycle (what kind of excuse ''was'' that "I bet a lot of people do that" thing without even backing it up). As it is all three, the only reason one might find to delete it is their opinions. Since this page has all requirements, I see no  reason to delete it except for the fact that you don't like this page.

:::::::::::: Also note that it did, in fact, motivate a character. It was [[Strong Mad]]'s example for what they were just talking a boot. It acted as an important item for the sub-plot. Goodbye and stop whining, eh --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 22:14, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::::::First of all, I did not say that it needs to be a product to have its own article. Back then, I was pointing out a problem in a previous argument that had been made. The point I wanted to make was that it needs to be ''specific'' to the website, and I'm not sure that a few sausages and tomatoes arranged in an unusual manner fits that category enough to deserve an entire article. Secondly, I do not agree that it was an important item intergral to the plot of the toon, nor that it provides any motivation to Strong Mad. Thirdly, I certainly do not want to have this article deleted because I don't like it, as you claim. Instead, I feel that the Tomatocycle is not relevant enough to deserve its own article. Finally, Jellote, I do not like your attitude towards me at all. Wether intentional or not, your reply seems to have come across quite harsh. It is absolutely fine to disagree with my thoughts, but you seem to be verging on flaming. Please can we discuss the merits of this article without using aggressive language like "Goodbye and stop whining" or personal critisisms? I think what this talk page really needs is some more views and opinions so that this discussion can develop further. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 16:04, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
::::::::::::::This doesn't deserve to have a separate page. Leave it in [[Minor Foods]]. --[[User:BubbleRevolution]]
:::::::::::::::I say remove the page and recreate it if the Tomatocycle is seen again ever. {{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 06:36, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
::::::::::::::::Dude, I just added it to the minor foods list. It was already there under unnamed foods. It was linked to somewhere, and the wiki needs the information. I say '''keep''', because its important. Also, if it wasn't, they wouldn't put it in a toon.--{{User:Smartkidhen/sig}} 19:27, 20 May 2009 (UTC)smartkidhen
:::::::::::::::::Smartkidhen, I don't understand your argument; if the Tomatocycle is already on the [[Minor Foods]] article (which I see as the perfect place for this information as it is a minor item and is technically a food), why would we need an article containing the same information? We should always avoid having duplicate copies of information on this wiki (see [[HRWiki:Once And Only Once]]). Why couldn't we just '''merge''' this article with Minor Foods? Also, just because it's in a toon doesn't make it important per se. Otherwise, we'd end up with individual articles for every single item ever featured on every single toon on the website. There's absolutely nothing wrong with having special articles like Minor Foods which encompass all these themed, one-time throw-away gags. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 19:48, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Now that a couple months have passed since this discussion took place, and no further sightings have been seen, should a decision about this be reached? It seems most are leaning towards deleting the page, and restoring it if it should ever pop up again. For now, it seems the Tomatocycle should stay only on [[Minor Foods]]. {{User:Itama/sig}} 06:08, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Should we add a fun fact that in the commentary for [[email thunder]], Matt Chapman said that there would be no more emails? Or is it not important enough? {{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 08:50, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

I was more reminded of those USB panic buttons and such, and TBH the 'easy button' isn't the only big red button out there. There's an excuse button, a bull**** button, an insult button, all kindsa buttons.

== Disc 7 ==

So, having made this email, this either means TBC will put this on Everything Else Vol. 4, or strongbad_email.exe Disc 7. And if it is the email DVD, then they will have to make at least 29 more. And then stopping at 230 would look untidy, so then they might make another 70 and release it as discs 8 and 9. But then they might want to take it up to at least an even 10... Hmmmmmmm... {{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 11:55, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

:Or maybe they don't _have_ to make anything but rather just do stuff they like whenever they have an idea and the time. ;) If they should decide to end sbemails for good one day and happen to end them with an uneven number or too little content for a new DVD, they can do that. They could put them on a mixed DVD with "Everything Else" or just leave it at that and never sell them at all. Or they would find other options. Anyway, I think you get my point. ;) (It's me, Cass from Germany. Comp just logged me out.) --[[Special:Contributions/95.222.57.4|95.222.57.4]] 12:17, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

:::::As for pronunciation, i'm neutral... it's could be a portmanteau between "beth" and "bathsheba", or just "bathsheba". that's not why i'm commenting.

== Kelly-usa? ==

This seems unlikely, but did anyone else think "Kelly-Usa" ("oosa") was a reference to Sailor Moon? There's a character named Chibi-Usa with the last part also pronounced "oosa." Being from a Japanese anime, it'd explain the "exotic lady from the Far East" comment. Reasons this is improbable: (1) -usa is not an honorific in Japan and was unique to the one character, making this reference pretty specific; (2) Chibi-Usa was a little girl, not an "exotic lady"; and (3) really, Sailor Moon?

If someone has an alternative explanation of SB's reaction, I'd like to see it.

This may need to be listed on the [[HRW:STYLES|manual of style]] or its talk page, but I just wanted to state somewhere that this toon should be referred to as [[hremail3184]] when listed as a Strong Bad Email and [[Hremail 3184]] when listed as a Hremail or when TBC list it as such. I think our usage to this point has been consistent with the guideline, but I figured it should at least be mentioned out loud. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:43, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

== takes, has, means... ==

So, at least three times in this email, the characters use the wrong word in a sentence. For example, SB says "I can't takes it no more", Coach Z says "... now I don't has to" and the Lappy asks, "does that means?" Are these mentionable? I think they are, in the same vein that "Be's careful" and "be's'ing mean..." were in previous emails... but how do we mention them in this email.... a little help?

== Identical explosion marks? ==

I dunno if anyone else noticed, but the explosion mark at the end of this toon is the exact same vector shape that was used in the same spot back in 'virus', after Bubs shot the Compy.
:I did notice, but I wasn't sure if it was worth noting. {{User:That Guy Over There/sig}} 05:31, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

==32X Reference==

I did a basic edit about the Grilled mushrooms 32x reference, but since I'm new at this can some one perfect it?

==So popular lately==

Gas rings around explosions in pop culture probably started with the Star Wars Special Editions. Worth a Real World Reference?
:Unless you can make that "probably" into a "definitely", I'd say not. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:07, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, there are certainly earlier examples, notably in Star Treks II and VI, but the idea of adding a shock-wavey Saturn ring to make an explosion 'fancier' definitely starts with the SW SEs. Not that there's anything 'lately' about 1997, but SB probably doesn't have a DVD player yet. :)
:Meh, I think it's a bit [[TTATOT]]. {{User:That Guy Over There/sig}} 05:33, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

==PONK!==
Anyone else notice the name of the beer Bubs was drinking?--[[User:Robotguy4|Robotguy4]] 05:17, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:It is clearly "PONK!" Point? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:57, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
::I think [http://www.teamfortress.com/scoutupdate/energydrink.htm this] is his point. It really seems like it's a ''[[Wikipedia:Team Fortress 2|Team Fortress 2]]'' reference (right down to Bubs mimicking the Scout's constant "BONK" proclamations); I just haven't added it in because the relationship isn't absolutely obvious. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 15:08, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

==Other Info==

Is anyone planning on putting the writing from Strong Bad's newspaper and business card in the article? [[User:CloneWarrior|CloneWarrior]] 08:38, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:Bwees-ness card is a good idea, and we would all be grateful for the addition of it. Da NewsPapes, however, (and correct me if I'm wrong) says exactly the same thing it has in its other SB-on-da-toilet scenes, so it needs no transcription. --{{User:Onamuji/sig}} 12:07, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

== Speech Impediment ==

Is it me, or does Homestar's Speech Impediment is kinda missing at the beginning of the hremail?--{{User:Darkangel/sig}} 08:54, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

== traffic ==

Do the sounds of traffic during Senor Cardgage's part sound like the traffic in his part during the FBI Warning on strongbad_email.exe Disc Six? -Logged Out Open Source Greg
:It sounds like it might be the same, but that's a note for [[Sound Effects]]. --{{User:Onamuji/sig}} 12:07, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

== No Broken Lappy Menu? ==

I think this is the first sbemail where a computer explodes and there is no special menu for the broken computer, like after the tandy and the compy. I can't remember if those came in right away, or a few days later. [[User:Nynexman4464|Nynexman4464]] 14:48, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:I believe there's been a gap in between the destruction of the computer and the broken menu. The dates on [[virus]] and [[Broken Compy Menu]] back that up. It's probably done that way to avoid spoiling the surprise of the destruction. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:42, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

== Magnificent Marzipan ==

* The Magnificent Marzipan is a nod to [[Wikipedia:Sensational_Sherri|Sensational Sherri]] and/or [[Wikipedia:Don_Muraco|The Magnificent Muraco]].

What evidence is there to support this claim aside from the alliteration? This seems extremely weak to me. {{User:That Guy Over There/sig}} 20:46, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

== Already prepared to explode the lappy? ==

I put a fact on the page, but it got removed as unnotable, so I wanted to mention it here. Does no one else find it inconsistent that, although Strong Bad had just now (as of this email) been asked about explosions, he had bought the dooj button (in preparation of exploding the lappy) several weeks ago? -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.140.130|132.183.140.130]] 22:49, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:I don't know about that, but I think a Remark should be made about the button not being plugged into the Lappy until SB points it out. [[User:Monkeytender|Monkeytender]] 23:18, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
::Well, it seems notable to me. Like all the <s>crap</s> very interesting fun facts that we put in. {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 23:24, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:::The way i see it, this email is basically SB telling about how he regularly splo's stuff up, at least as often as he breathes air molecules, so for him to plan to blow up the lappy even before recieving the question is VERY consistant with this email. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:26, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

== Ghost Lappy ==

The (demonic) shadow of Female Lappy in the explosion feels like a reference to the ghosts of the Tandy (Bad Graphics) and Compy (skeleton), but I'm not sure how (or if) to put this into an Inside Reference or Remark. Thoughts? {{User:Itama/sig}} 00:16, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

==Transcript==
''{Homestar is sitting at his [[hremail]] desk. He has bags under his eyes and is slouching. He slips further and further down over the next line.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{half-mumbling}'' And that, Gordon Titanamonderous, is why I decided to ''keep'' calling you Gordon Titanamonderous...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{from off-screen}'' Aaah! ''{A record scratch is heard.}'' I can't takes it no more!

''{Cut to Strong Bad, screaming.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Somebody hand me a rake!

''{A rake is handed to Strong Bad. He grabs it and smacks Homestar with it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Raaaake!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{dropping the rake}'' Somebody hand me a shovel!

''{A shovel is handed to him. He smacks Homestar with it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Shovel!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{dropping the shovel}'' Somebody hand me a Garden Weasel!

''{A tool with a very spiky end is handed to Strong Bad. Again, he hits Homestar. Homestar comes back up with a "CENSORED" sign over his face; bruises and a stream of blood can be seen around it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{calmly}'' Aw, a Weasel.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{wiping his brow}'' Phew.

''{Pan over to show Marzipan, holding the rake and shovel.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks, Marzipan!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Always happy to help!

''{Cut to the Lappy. Strong Bad sits down in front of it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sorry, Lappy. My triumphant return to checking emails calls for some fresh blood!

''{He closes the Lappy, leaving a faint backwards "Lappy 486" in the wall behind it. He pushes it off to the side.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Tech nerds, feast your eyes... on ''Steak Sandwich!''

''{He places said sandwich on the desk in front of him to a trumpet fanfare. Cut to a solo image of the sandwich.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The Steaky Steaky 6 Millenium Edition ''{a steak-shaped logo for this appears in the corner}'' is a processing wonder horse, capable of sauteed onions, ''{a logo for "Sauteed Onions Ghz" appears}'' grilled mushrooms, ''{a logo for "Grilled Mushrooms 32x" appears}'' and all right, never mind.

''{The Steak logo swivels as though its left side was no longer supported while the other logos fall off the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' This is just a steak sandwich, isn't it?

''{Cut to a rear view of the desk, as Strong Bad looks at the sandwich.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know, I guess I'm a little... out-of-practice with this stuff. ''{to the Lappy}'' All right, Lappy, you can stay alive for at least one more week.

''{He pushes the sandwich aside and returns the Lappy to its rightful position. He opens the Lappy and a startup tone is heard. Cut to behind Strong Bad. The Female Lappy is visible.}''

'''FEMALE LAPPY 486:''' Another week with you, Strong Bad, is like 8 dog-weeks in cat-years.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, are you sure you're not Senor Cardgage's computer?

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' ''{from offscreen}'' No...

''{Cut back to show Senor Cardgage standing near Strong Bad, holding the sandwich.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' This steak samwich is Beverly ''clearly'' my compooter, Bathsheba.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{smiling}'' Hey, Cardgage! D'you wanna help me come out of e-tirement?

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Ummmmm... no.

''{Strong Bad lowers his head in disappointment. Senor Cardgage turns around and starts walking in place, while sounds of traffic are heard. Strong Bad looks up in confusion, and starts to nervously lean back.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm quite scared right now.

''{Cut to the Lappy as Strong Bad turns back to it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's start over. ''{types "strongbad_email.exe"}'' Oh, man, I haven't checked my email in so long, I bet there's gonna be a half-zillion messages waiting for me!

''{He presses Return. The following comes up with a ding: "Oh, smokes! You have 2 new messages!", which are "Coolness" from "Kelly" and "Thanks for loaning me your rake" from "Homestar".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Well, a half-''four'' messages waiting for me isn't bad. ''{He brings up "Coolness".}''

<blockquote class="email"><div>subject: coolness</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
What was the coolest explosion you ever saw? 
 
From, 
Kelly 
USA
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad echos his own name. He says Kelly's name in a slightly seductive tone, leading into "USA" as "Oosa".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Mmmm! An exotic lady from the far east! ''{typing}'' That's kind of a vague question don'tcha think? That's like me asking, "Dear Kelly, what's your favorite molecule of air that you've breathed?" ''{not typed}'' Or... ''{clears screen, typing:}'' "What's your favorite Strong Bad muscle that you wanted to rub with hot oils?" You gotta narrow it down somehow. Like, do you wanna know about the coolest looking explosion I ever rigged up in Strong Sad's org-ethnic breakfast pouch on a Tuesday?

''{Cut to the kitchen of the Brothers Strong. Strong Bad is eating from a cereal bowl with a spoon. Strong Sad is standing next to him, wearing a tuxedo, and looking expectantly at a toaster.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{poorly acting}'' Mmm. This cereal is sooooo cerealy.

''{The toaster pops up a breakfast pastry with a conspicuous red light on it. Strong Sad catches it. Over the next line, the light begins to blink faster and faster while making ticking noises.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, child! I am gonna enjoy this saag paneer Pop-Tart with a vengeance! Then I've got to go stand around in this tuxedo with a ven— OOOHHH!!

''{The Pop-Tart explodes into green goo, which gets all over Strong Sad and leaves a green stain on the wall behind him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Waa-ha-ha-ha!

''{Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Or do you wanna know like, the coolest explosion I ever saw that had one of those blast-wavy Saturn rings around it that've become so popular lately.

''{Cut to Strong Bad in his bathroom, holding a newspaper.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' 'Cuz I've caused ''plenty'' of those.

''{Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But the coolest part was actually later on, when I was telling Coach Z all about it.

''{Cut to the Athletic Field. Strong Bad is talking to Coach Z.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And so first, there was this little explosion, that was like "Doooooosh!" ''{some drops of spit fly away from him toward Coach Z}''

'''COACH Z:''' Ya don't say?

'''STRONG BAD:''' And then secondary charges blew and it was like, "Ka-plssshhhhh!" ''{more drops of spit fly toward Coach Z}''

'''COACH Z:''' You say?

'''STRONG BAD:''' And finally one of those blast-wavy Saturn rings that've become so popular lately shot out, and was like "PSSSSSSHHHHH!!!!"

''{Strong Bad draws out the explosion. A wave of spit drops fly toward Coach Z. Coach Z pulls out a bar of soap and a bottle of "PORT PLUS +". He rubs the soap on his body and dumps some shampoo over his hat. He then tosses the bottle away and rubs his hat, which becomes sudsy.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Thanks for the great story, Strong Bad! I was gonna hit the showers, but now I don't has to!

''{Strong Bad spits a few more drops toward Coach Z. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Everybody knows that the more spit it takes to describe an explosion, the cooler said explosion was. ''And'' the cooler said explosion-talker-abouter is!

''{Cut to Strong Sad talking to Coach Z in the Athletic Field.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And then my saag paneer Pop-Tart said it like... "Ptoo."

''{A single large drop of spit flies toward Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{angrily}'' Are you kiddin' me? I can't even warsh my hands with that mess!

''{Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But if history has taught us anything, then we all know that the coolest explosions have come from my very own computers.

''{A quick montage results where the Tandy explodes, throwing Strong Bad back, Strong Bad knocks the Tandy off the desk with an inexplicable explosion, Bubs' shotgun blows a hole in the Compy, Strong Mad gulps from a mini-explosion from the Compy, and the Tandy explodes in a green pixelated mushroom cloud with Homestar nearby. Cut back to the Lappy, with the female Lappy visible.}''

'''FEMALE LAPPY 486:''' But waimt, Strong Bad, does that means?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm afraid so, sweet Lappy. I figured that USB self-destruct button I bought a couple weeks ago woulda clued you in.

''{Cut to a closeup of a big red button with "dooj" written on it, connected to the Lappy via USB. Then cut to a rear view of the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' But... it's time. ''{Cut to behind Strong Bad}'' Why wait around for someone else to blow up your computer tomorrow when you can blow it up yourself today?

'''FEMALE LAPPY 486:''' You should put that on your bwees-ness cards.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{mock-sadly}'' That's a great idea, Lappy. ''{cut to rear view of the desk}'' Good bye. ''{presses the button}'' Dooj.

''{Cut to a silhouette of the house with a tree beside it. The explosion knocks the tree away and blows the roof clear of the house. Two shockwaves appear as part of the explosion. A ghostly image of the Female Lappy icon with fangs appears in the explosion.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So popular lately.

''{Cut to Bubs and Coach Z on lawn chairs, watching the explosion.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oooooor! Awwwwwr! 
'''BUBS:''' Ooooooh! Awwwwww!

'''COACH Z:''' I can't wait till Strong Bad tells me 'bout that one. I'm'a go ahead and strip down to da nude!

'''BUBS:''' ''{pointing at Coach Z}'' Ponk!

''{Cut to Strong Bad, standing next to the desk. Strong Bad himself is unharmed, but the desk it broken in two from the explosion, and the paint has been torn away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And now that—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{poking in from the side}'' Don't call it a comeback.

'''STRONG BAD:''' —is what I call—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{more angrily}'' Don't call it a comeback.

'''STRONG BAD:''' —a—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{disappears off the side and reappears upside-down}'' Don't call it a comeback.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{jumping forward on his knee}'' —comeback!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{disappears and reappears rightside-up, makes an annoyed sigh}''

''{Homestar disappears while Strong Bad looks upward.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, if a paper survived that, maybe come down... now?

''{Black ashes fall from the top of the screen. Strong Bad looks down at them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Looks like I need a new one of those, too.

==Easter Eggs==
*When the [[Lappy]] tells [[Strong Bad]] to put his catch phrase about computer destruction on his "bwees-ness" cards, click "bwees-ness card" to see a business card for a computer destruction business.
*At the end, click on the hole in the wall to see an exchange between [[Strong Sad]] as the Gardenboy from [[yes, wrestling]] and [[The Announcer]].
:''{Cut to a scene at the [[Gymnasium]] with The Announcer at the left and Garden Boy at the right}''
:'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, you know, announcer man, that's right! All you gophers out there better listen up! The Magnificent Marzipan stole all Garden Boy's garden tools, and I don't care if she's a women's champion, a men's champion, a half woman-half man's champion... Uh, do we have one of those?
:'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Uh, yes, I believe we do.
:'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, can I fight them instead?

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Saag|Saag paneer]] is an Indian curry based dish consisting of spinach, mustard leaf, and cheese.

===Trivia===
[[File:Homestar uncensored.png|thumb|"Aw, a Weasel."]]
*The hiatus between [[email thunder]] and this email (280 days, or nine months and one week) is the longest gap between any two Strong Bad Emails.
*Although it is only visible for a fraction of a second, the text on Homestar's desk has now been changed to "Still this guy!"
*When the Flash file is decompiled, Homestar's battered face is visible behind the censored box.

*This is the first time the exterior of [[House of the Brothers Strong|Strong Bad's house]] is shown outside of [[SBCG4AP]].

===Remarks===
*In his flashback, Strong Bad knocks the broken [[Tandy 400]] off his desk to an explosion. There was no such explosion in [[invisibility]].
* In [[virus]], the virus caused everything to become corrupted. As part of the corruption, Bubs' shotgun resembled Homestar's leg. However, in the flashback, the shotgun is clearly still a shotgun even before the [[Compy 386]] is shot.
** After the virus was gone, Bubs was seen using a pump action shotgun, when in this clip, it is a double-barreled shotgun.
* Homestar Runner's email was not blocked by Edgar's Baby's Daddy or his Idiot Filter, as all Homestar emails are in [[candy product]] and [[Strong Badia the Free]], respectively.
* The USB standard had not yet been invented at the time 486-based laptops were available.

===Goofs===
*When Homestar is hit with the Garden Weasel, his face is still visible. The bruises, scars, and blood only appear ''after'' the camera zooms in.
*When the ashes of the paper come down, they fall in front of Strong Bad, but after, some are behind Strong Bad on the floor.
*When Strong Bad is holding the Garden Weasel and wiping his head, the arm wiping his head is not visible.
*The word "millennium" is misspelled during the description of the steak sandwich.

===Inside References===
*The text on the mug on Homestar's desk appears to read "Auntie Gertr♥de's Tea", which is likely a reference to [[Aunt Gert]], the pantyhose doll from [[garage sale]].
*[[Onomatopoeia|Dooj]], as the USB self-destruct button reads, is a common sound effect used for explosions in the Homestar Runner Universe.
*The scene of Bubs and Coach Z in the field is reminiscent of [[Happy Fireworks]], in which the two watched [[fireworks]] in a similar fashion.
**Likewise, the can of [[Cold One#Coldson Lite|Coldson Lite]] reappears.
*Strong Sad's "Gardenboy" wrestling persona (seen in the Easter egg) originated in the email [[yes, wrestling]].
*The entire toon is about [[explosions]].
*Strong Bad [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]] when Senor Cardgage first shows up in his house, as well as when he's laughing at Strong Sad when his Pop-Tart explodes.
*Although censored, [[blood]] can still be seen trickling down Homestar Runner's face after being hit with the garden weasel.
*The scene in which Strong Bad introduces his "new computer" is a parody of the [[Lappy 486]]'s intro in the email [[animal]]. The background is originally from [[The Show]].
*Coach Z's "Port Plus" was previously mentioned in [[Jibblies 2]], where he asked the [[Horrible Painting]] for some.
*The Lappy's pronunciation "bwees-ness" was used previously in [[theme park]], where Strong Bad makes fun of how the email's author misspells "business".
*Strong Sad exclaiming "Oh, child!" echoes [[retirement]], when the Lappy exclaimed the same thing.
*The "Fightin' Coach Zs" logo from [[One Two, One Two]] appears on the athletic field.
*Strong Bad's line "Aaah! I can't takes it no more!" from offscreen is reminiscent of [[First Time Here?]].
*"Org-ethnic" is a [[portmanteau]] of "[[organic]]" and "ethnic".

===Real-World References===
*The [[Wikipedia:Garden Weasel|Garden Weasel]] is a garden implement made famous mainly through late night infomercials.
* Strong Bad's remark that Kelly-Usa sounds exotic is a reference to the [http://www.snopes.com/business/genius/usa.asp urban legend] about Japan renaming a town Usa. This legend was also referenced in [[Donut Unto Others]].
*Senor Cardgage's "Beverly clearly" is a reference to children's author [[Wikipedia:Beverly Cleary|Beverly Cleary]].
*Coach Z's "PORT PLUS +" is a reference to the shampoo/conditioner "Pert Plus", just in a Coach Z accent.
*Strong Bad's "Dooj" button resembles the "Easy" button from commercials for [[Wikipedia:Staples Inc.|Staples]], an office supply chain.
*Homestar repeating the phrase "Don't call it a comeback", is a reference to the first line of "[[WIkipedia:Mama_Said_Knock_You_Out_(song)|Mama Said Knock You Out]]" by [[Wikipedia:LL Cool J|LL Cool J]].
*Gardenboy's line in the Easter Egg that he doesn't care if Marzipan is a "women's champion or man's champion..." is a nod to [[Wikipedia:Andy_Kaufman|Andy Kaufman]], the intergender wrestling champion.
* The Magnificent Marzipan is a nod to [[Wikipedia:Sensational_Sherri|Sensational Sherri]] and/or [[Wikipedia:Don_Muraco|The Magnificent Muraco]].

::Okay, but why would coach z be talking to a fake author about a fake relationship on a fake cell phone? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 19:13, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
: I think the reason the Cheat is holding the Lappy is because we're assuming he helped Strong Bad with all the internet site stuff for the fake book, since SB isn't exactly advanced to internet level. -Cyndentia
::We're heading into forum speculation but here's what I think: The Cheat's walking off with the Lappy because he's going to design, program and create the book website for Strong Bad's diorama project. As we all know, Strong Bad's lazy and always gets his lackey to do all his work. It would explain why The Cheat makes "agreeing The Cheat noises" when Strong Bad says "It's gotten so hard to cheat these days!" because he's got to make the website. And The Cheat is the one most skilled with technology. Then again, why would he use the Lappy instead of the Tangerine Dreams or Monosodium Dreams? Hmmm. Oh, and Coach Z's irrelevant scene is just there to make you laugh. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 19:35, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
:::I'm pretty sure it was in reference to the SedBed's comments that "Cheating is getting harder." I'm pretty sure Teh C is simply absconding with the Lappy, and showing the ease of actual cheating. [[User:Flashfight|Flashfight]] 21:13, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
::::At this point this topic is getting into the realm of speculation, and i would really suggest that we stop now and move it to the forum. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:58, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

== KoT skin color ==

was this the first time we could see the King's skin? if so, can someone put this in the article? -Raltaran

== Not a Cat ==

When Strong Bad is talking about the website that Molly would have to make for a fake book, the author blurb mentions that he is "NOT a cat!!" This is the classic line of Evil the Cat from Earthworm Jim, when he's in disguise. Should this be a reference?--[[User:Gaeamil|Gaeamil]] 19:40, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
:Agreed. --[[User:72.226.234.136|72.226.234.136]] 23:25, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

== Intro ==

*Strong Bad's tone of voice at the beginning of the email could be a reference to the video game [[wikipedia:Portal_%28video_game%29|Portal]], in which the antagonist GLaDOS often mentions cake.
This fact was quickly removed, but it raises a good question (one that i didn't know how to raise in a non-forummy way until now) and that is, what the heck is with the intro? IS it a reference to something? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 22:19, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Oh, so a little computer that is near death and lonely gets made fun of and makes people GLaD and makes them laugh just for eating cake? that is not right. and yes i have the game. and beaten the game. and played the commentary, for the game.GLaDoS's helper [[User:Imdaman]]
== Image ==
I think we should have the image be of another diorama example, like James Buchanan must die.-Me

== 99.99.99 ==

Ya know, this is probably far fetched, but $99.99.99 was the most well-known phrase of Mike the TV from the TV Show ReBoot. (The price of the 'Bucket o' Nothing' he was always advertising.) [[User:68.228.89.148|68.228.89.148]] 22:33, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

== King of Town's Adventures ==

I know that "The King of Town's Adventures in Giant Cockroachland" is a reference to "The Cheat's Cheatventures in Moses Maloneland", but I haven't a clue of how to phrase it. Anybody got any ideas? -{{User:Itama/sig}} 23:43, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' When I was sixteen I sold all my emails and hit the road.

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: have you ever? PLEASE!!</div>
Have you ever made a sbmail about a business trip or 
something serious? think about it. 
 
-ROXY~VA
</blockquote>
''{pronounces "sbmail" as written. The "~" is accompanied by the sound like a cassette tape playing unevenly}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I think we should ''seriously'' talk about your name, Roxy. I'm afraid your career choices may be limited to a Limozeen groupie or maybe an American Gladiator. ''{clears screen}'' Something involving you wearing scantily clothes. You don't meet too many Professors of Women Studies named Roxy. As for business trips, The Cheat and I are being sent to a conference in a just a few seconds here. ''{stops typing}'' The Cheat, you ready to ro'?

''{cut to wider shot of Homestar Runner standing next to Strong Bad's computer}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Sure am, Sam!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, you're not The Cheat.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Nah, not any more. The Cheat got promoted to ''{cut to a portrait of The Cheat in a business suit}'' Junior Executive Of Not Having To Go On Pointless Business Trips.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What! I've been trying to get that job for years.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' So, it just going to be me and you. Sleepin' out under the stars. Roasting some marshmallows.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, this is a ''business'' trip, not a camping trip.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh. Oh, I see. I guess I shouldn't brought these, then. ''{Pan over to a stack of cans marked "Pork [[b/w]] Beans"}''

''{Diamond iris out to The Field, next to a sign that reads "Annual Symposium Conference Lecture Seminar Series Registration"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, Homestar. We got to start talking loudly about our business trip, so that everyone around us knows we're on a business trip. ''{speaking a little louder}'' Uh, continental breakfast? More like, ''in''-continential bleck-fast.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{angrily}'' Yeah, seal the deal! ''{wider shot with Homestar wearing the pork b/w beans cans on his feet}'' Seal the deal!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, what are those jangles? ''{Close up of the cans}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, airport security. You know how it is these days. Roll my eyes. ''{Homestar's eye highlights rotate}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, hurry up. We've got to get there before the keynote starts so we can ditch out five minutes after the keynote starts.

''{push wipe to Strong Sad wearing [[cool shades|glasses]] and holding a clip board}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{flatly}'' Welcome to Reducing Your Business's Carbon Footprint Is Not A Matter of Buying Everyone Smaller Shoes. Please allow me to begin.

''{Reverse shot to Strong Bad and Homestar}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's our cue. ''{they sneak out}''

''{Cut back to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ...And we'll go ahead and break for lunch.

''{Diamond iris out to The Bar, medium shot of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, there's nothing like a couple of ice cold Expen$e Account Ones while on a business trip.

''{Cut to a wide shot of Homestar and Strong Bad. Homestar is wearing multiple lanyards.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Boy, I'll say. I've been going nuts with our lanyard per diem.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's see what's next on the itinerary. ''{Cut to the itinerary. As items are checked off, check marks appear.}'' Take off wedding rings, check. Complain about hotel mattress, check. Talk about how our dogs are killing us...''{squiggly line appears}'' we're not quite there yet. Collect dry twigs for kindling?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{off-screen}'' That's a check.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Meet hot female executives for drinks. ''{Cut back to Homestar and Strong Bad. Strong Bad looks around.}'' Um... mostly check? Oh crap, we've got to seal the deal with the foreign conglomerate in ten minutes!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Homestar has leapt into Strong Bad's arms}'' And not a moment too soon! I think I heard a bear rustling in the woods!

''{Iris out to The King of Town's castle. A gong is heard. The King of Town is wearing a tag saying "Foreign Conglomerate"}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' All right, gentlemen, this is how this is going to go down. I'm going to write a number on this piece of paper.

''{Reverse shot to Homestar and Strong Bad. The King of Town slides the paper with an obvious bulge to the pair.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, King, you wrote a piece of lasagna on this piece of paper.

''{Cut back to The King of Town.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' And I ain't budging! Now, where are those units?

''{Reverse shot}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What units? I thought we just here to seal the deal.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, Strong Bad wouldn't let me bring all of them. But I did manage to smuggle these two ''{holds up the Pork b/w Beans cans}'' past airport security.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the sense make?

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' All right, I'll take it! You boys drive a soft bargain. Poopsmith! Prepare the bathtub!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, cramp my style. We sealed the deal! Go ahead, Homestar. You— you've earned it.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Homestar puts his feet up on the table}'' My dogs are killing me!

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But the real reason for business trips is to buy last minute peanut brittle and crappy souvenirs from airport gift shops for your kids!

''{Cut to the Cheat on the computer table, with a windup airplane floating in a fish bowl}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{annoyed The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, see, it's an airplane! That swims! And loves St. Louis!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{annoyed The Cheat noises and then walks off}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Fine, then. Strong Mad will appreciate it.

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{off-screen}'' NO I WON'T!

''{The airplane sinks and [[New Paper]] comes down}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The peanut brittle could've swam better than that.

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' Letters. And words. Emails get absurd, I just gotta jump back!

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: bike thieves</div>
Hey Strong Bad, 
I'm at college and I need to keep my bike from being 
stolen. I figure if I think like a thief, I can figure out 
how to protect it. So, how would you try to steal my bike? 
Virginia 
MI
</blockquote>
''{Strong Bad reads MI as two letters}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, not smart enough for MIT, huh? Just MI? ''{clears screen}'' Well first off, how do you know your crappy bike is even worth stealing? How many pegs you got? Mag wheels? White tires? Worthless baseball card in the spokes? If not, then you got nothing to worry about. What self-respecting bicycle thief would steal a (shudder) ten-speed? Or a (shudder, shudder) mounTAIN bike? The only thing those bikes get ''{typed as "gets"}'' you is tired. Any bike with a water bottle holder is a complete waste of bike. ''{clears screen}'' But, let's pretend you do have a cool bike. I would first go to my old thieving standby: dress up like a bush.

''{Cut to the field. Strong Bad is hiding behind a short berry bush with cartoon eyes, his feet clearly visible. He shuffles over to a pink bicycle, carrying the bush with him. He picks up the bike through the bush, and starts carrying it away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow.

''{Pull out to see Pom Pom talking on a phone. He looks away from his phone to glare at Strong Bad.}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{walking offscreen}'' Oh, I mean... Bush. Bush. Leaves. Branch. Um... Berries.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And don't forget: dressing up as a bush is also a great way to get free pizza!

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand. Strong Bad walks up to the counter behind his bush costume.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Can I have some free pizza?

'''BUBS:''' Sure thing, bush!

''{Bubs pulls a pizza box from behind the counter and drops it on top of the bush. Strong Bad walks off-screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Variations on this approach—

''{Cut to the field, with just Strong Bad standing in the middle of screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —include dressing up as a cactus,—

''{The bush is replaced by a cactus, with Strong Bad badly concealed behind it, and cartoony eyes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —a trashcan,—

''{The cactus is replaced by a trashcan, again with cartoony eyes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —or a barrel.

''{The trashcan is replaced by a wooden barrel, yet again with cartoony eyes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Though, depending on your physique—

''{The Cheat appears next to Strong Bad's barrel.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —you could also dress up like... a hideous pile—

''{The Cheat turns into a pile of unidentified pink goo, with tufts of hair, a crushed can, a plank of wood, a circular saw blade, and two misaligned cartoony eyes. Strong Bad inches away from the mess. Strong Mad appears on the other side of the barrel.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —or a... textile factory?

''{Strong Mad turns into a factory building, signed "BRRLAP", with cartoony eyes near the roof. Cut back to the computer room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So if I were you, I'd steer clear of pretty much anything with cartoon eyeholes. If that method didn't work for me, I'd go for the awkward swindle. This is especially effective on college campuses.

''{Cut to The Stick. A CGNU sign is visible in the background. Homestar, wearing a backpack, is chaining up his white bike to the stick, the chain is simply looped over the top branch. Strong Bad, sporting a ponytail, walks in, carrying a clipboard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, brother. Hey, my bromide. You look like a cool guy who likes to progress. I was wondering if you'd be interested in signing this petition to ban roll-on...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, um, yeah, sorry, uh, I've got a class...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...free vegan food...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...and my roommate's like... you know...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...fellowship...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...so, my parents, um...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...drum circle?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Computer lab! ''{darts off-screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Man. so effective! I've stolen people's lunches this way... their girlfriends... puppies even!

''{Strong Bad throws away his clipboard and walks over to Homestar's bike, and starts kicking the tires. Marzipan walks in, with multicolored dreadlocks, and her own clipboard.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hey, my bromide, wanna sign this...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Meal plan! ''{darts offscreen}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Cool, man, free bike.

''{Cut back to the computer room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But my all-time favorite theifnique has got to be, the best use of black turtlenecks and suction cups ever devised: cat-burgling!

''{Cut to a featureless orange wall. Strong Bad climbs up the wall with suction cups, wearing a black turtleneck and beanie.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Almost... to the top!

''{Cut to Strong Bad's basement... Strong Bad climbs up from behind the orange couch. The bicycle seat [[Red, White, and Banana]] is on the couch, and two laser guns duct taped to the couch on either side of it. Strong Bad pulls out a spray can of "C'mon! It's Fog!" and sprays it into the air, revealing the two laser beams.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, Ponch. Laser tech security! I'll have to employ some Chinese acrobatics!

''{Strong Bad tries to jump up, but is stuck to the couch.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh, these suction cups are stuck to the side of this couchscraper. Ah, somebody? The Cheat? Come put that bicycle seat in my mouth! Gently!

''{The lights turn on.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, Jon! Light tech security!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{walking in}'' Well, if you had agreed to play Cats the musical, instead of cat-burglar, maybe you wouldn't be stuck to back of the couch again.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I would rather die.

''{Cut back to the computer room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' That's how I'd do it, College Bike Owner. So keep away from shrubbery, don't talk to anyone with a clipboard, and avoid putting your bike on the roof of glass skyscrapers.

''{During the next part, Strong Bad types "Your bike should be totally safe if you listen to me. I am a good person that gives sound advice. Bike on, my friend, bike on!" while he says his other lines.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Secret message to bike thieves!

''{The words "SECRET MESSAGE!" flash on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bolt cutters, guys! Just use bolt cutters!

''{The words "BOLT CUTTERS!" flash on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' We'll split the pawn-shop money fitty-fitty!

''{The words "FITTY FITTY!" flash on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' See you next time!

''{[[New Paper]] comes down, printing a picture of [[The Paper]].}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nice try, New Papes. Though that does make me feel a little better... he was so stripedy...

==Easter Eggs==
*After Strong Bad says MI, click on it to see a flag.
*Click on "baseball card" to see a card.
*At the end, click on "safe" for this:
:''{The Lappy slowly moves to the right}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Woah, what the?
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{dressed up as a trash can, speaking in a monotone voice}'' Garbage, garbage, rubbish, umm... murder weapon.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Are you supposed to be a trash can or a robot?
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ummm... ''{pulls out petition reading "The Bromide Solution"}'' you wanna sign this petition, my bromide?

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Magnesium alloy wheels|Magnesium alloy wheels]], or "mag wheels", are wheels made of magnesium alloy. They typically have larger and fewer spokes than regular bicycle wheels.
*"Pegs" are metal tubes affixed to a bicycle's front or rear axle, allowing the rider to balance their weight on an area other than the pedals and freeing the body of the bike for a wider range of tricks.
*A bromide is an ion of a bromine atom with a charge of -1. Such bromides as potassium bromide were once used as sedatives, leading to the once prevalent use of the word "bromide" to indicate something that is boring.

===Trivia===
*Strong Bad's petition reads:
<blockquote>-PETITION- 
i do hearby sign that 
i am in full support 
of fully supporting 
all the good causes 
and casual effects of 
said causes and, as it 
were, caucuses. now, 
previously, and also 
futurely held... 
X________________</blockquote>
*Marzipan's petition reads:
<blockquote>Counter-Petition 
I, the willing signer of this 
document, betta recognize 
that Earf in trouble. Earf 
injured. Injured bad. 
 
X______________</blockquote>
*Homestar's bike is a Huffy SIGMA circa 1987.
*Strong Bad's can in the cat-burgling scene reads "C'mon! It's Fog".

=== Remarks ===
*"Thiefnique" is a [[portmanteau]] of "thief" and "technique."
*"Couchscraper" is a [[portmanteau]] of "couch" and "skyscraper."
*"Brrlap" on Strong Mad's textile-mill disguise refers to [[Wikipedia:burlap|burlap]], a durable but coarse cloth made of vegetable fiber.
*Homestar's trash disguise has his own eyes, whereas Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat wore disguises with a unified, cartoony eye pattern, quite distinct from their own.

===Goofs===
*The word "safe" can be clicked even while the monitor continues to move in the Easter egg at the end, which restarts that segment from the beginning.

===Fixed Goofs===
*Strong Bad misspells "enough" as "enogh" in the beginning of his response. This was fixed a few hours after it was released.

===Inside References===
*The pizza Bubs gives Strong Bad is [[Bubs' Old Pizza]] from [[privileges]].
*Pom Pom's costume is from [[technology]].
*The cat-burglar scene shows another instance of [[duct tape]].
*Strong Bad's cat-burgling outfit was seen before in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]] (minus the suction cups).
*The music playing as Strong Bad first appears in his bush disguise made its debut as [[Sterrance]]'s theme in [[animal]].
*The bicycle seat [[Red, White, and Banana]] first appeared in [[the chair]]
*When Strong Bad attempts to steal the bike seat off of [[the couch]], he is foiled by two [[Wikipedia:Lazer Tag|Lazer Tag]] guns. [[The Poopsmith]] previously carried one of these guns when he [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats Costumes#The Poopsmith|dressed up in Lazer Tag gear]] in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]].
*This is the first time we see the outside of [[Crazy Go Nuts University|CGNU]].
*The music in the cat-burglar scene is the same music used in the beginning and end of [[DNA Evidence]].

===Real-World References===
*Strong Bad makes reference to the [[Wikipedia:Massachusetts Institute of Technology|Massachusetts Institute of Technology]].
*''[[Wikipedia:Cats (musical)|Cats]]'' is a musical stage production, premiering in 1981, in which all the actors, portraying cats, perform in skin-tight catsuits.
*[[Wikipedia:Ban (deodorant)|Ban]] Roll On is the name of an actual deodorant product.
*Ponch and Jon were the main characters of the television show [[Wikipedia:CHiPs|CHiPs]].

Itama: /**/Strong Bad Shirt

== That was fun... ==

Whee! That was my first transcript! And I gotta admit... That was fun. I gotta get to bed now, good luck finishing the page, guys. [[User:Yadaman|Yadaman]] 13:23, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
:Yeah, me doing this subtitling is cool too. One thing, tho: I am seeing the "local viewer test subtitle" screen as sbemail174 with sbemail175 subtitles. This normal? (sbemail174's OK). I should probably get to bed soon, too. [[User:ZanderSchubert|ZanderSchubert]] 14:08, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
::No that isn't normal. In Line 5, it says sbemal174.swf instead of 175. You might want to change that. Also, if you quit working on the subtitles, please remove the <nowiki>{{inprgoress}}</nowiki>-template. You could change it to <nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki> {{User:The Commander IN COMMAND/sig}} 14:23, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
:::Yeah, I just noticed that as well... Changed, removed "Inprogress" and done up until (but excluding) the easter eggs. Night, all. [[User:ZanderSchubert|ZanderSchubert]] 14:58, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

== An eerie coincidence? ==

I noticed something very interesting. In [[best thing]], the description of the alternative rock band that knocked Limozeen off the charts seems to accurately describe sloshy. Three members, glasses, short hair, no guitarist? Even though it's coincidental, does anyone think it may still deserve to be in fun facts, perhaps as a remark or something? [[User:Hagurumon|Hagurumon]] 11:33, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
:Yeah, that does sound familiar. I say it deserves to possibly be an Inside Reference or something. Maybe a remark. Idk, I'm not good at this fun fact thing. {{User:Compgrl323/sig}} 11:41, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
::I think the connection's a little tenuous. All the members of sloshy have short hair, so if Limozeen had been knocked off the charts by them, Mary would have said "And they've got short hair!" rather than "And the drummer's got short hair!" It's more likely that these are just common examples of indie/alternative fashion in contrast to 80s metal fashion. -ART
:::Limozeen didn't say that the band kicked them off didn't have a guitarist, they just didn't bother mentioning him, probably because he wasn't doing anything as unmetal as the rest of the band.

==Buy all play sets and toys!==

With the Cheat Commandos toys showing up, along with the Troop Transport, again in this short, do we do anything beyond just mentioning them here in the transcript and references? I'm sorta surprised that the individual accessories (like the Troop Transport) don't at least have images with them. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 14:48, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

==Alternative==

Could sloshy be an alternative band? [[User:Awexome|Awexome]] 16:59, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
*I was led to believe as such. [[User:76.99.103.184|76.99.103.184]] 17:10, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
**I think sloshy's an emo group. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 22:50, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
***Gloomcore. [[User:76.200.149.76|76.200.149.76]] 22:51, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

== Email song? ==

I can't shake the feeling that the email song is a reference to some metal song. My first guess was Black Sabbath's 'Paranoid,' but that's not it. Any ideas, or am I just insane? [[User:76.99.103.184|76.99.103.184]] 17:12, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
* Howbout The Kinks (Paranoia Will Destroyya). Not metal. In short, TTATOT. [[User:76.200.149.76|76.200.149.76]] 22:52, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

== Marble Craze ==

The music from the game Strong Bad/Sad are playing is from Marble Craze and can be heard here: http://qotile.net/audio/marble_music.mp3 --[[User:74.110.104.75|74.110.104.75]] 18:01, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

== Not a "special" email? ==

So I guess this email #175 is not a "special" email, in the spirits of emails 50, 100, & 150? I suppose we can all agree that "25th anniversary" emails (25 integrals ending in -25 and -75) have not been given special treatment that agknowledge their number. --[[User:Compdude|Compdude]]
:Yeah, the 25s haven't been as special (except maybe [[rock opera]]). [[super powers]] was ''kind of'' special-like, revealing superpowers, but [[funny]]... stunk out loud. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 20:08, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
::[[funny]] was funny as f**k, man. ''You're'' outloud. Tenderly, I remain, [[User:76.200.149.76|76.200.149.76]] 22:58, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

== First Email w/ New Paper to have back button? FALSE! ==

Someone posted a revision saying this is the first email with the New Paper to have a back button. Not true. See ''[[the paper|email 173]]''. {{User:Ert plus/sig}} 04:13, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

== Tex-mex? ==

I know it was me that wrote the transcript... But the 'tex-mex' bit was mostly a guess, and now that I think about it, it didn't really sound like tex-mex... it was sorta like... tech-mesh. or tetrex.. [[User:Yadaman|Yadaman]] 04:41, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm running through a field of emails! Paranoia! Paranoia!

<blockquote class="lappy email"><div>
subject: concert</div>
Hey Strong Bad, 
Have you ever been to a concert? If you have what type 
of concert was it? 
Your Dragon, 
Trogdor *smiley face*
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad's speech begins to stress as he reads the signature, becoming obviously distressed by something.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Wipe that smiley face off your the words 'smiley face.' You do ''not'' impersonate The Burninator, got it?

''{As Strong Bad says this, a Trogdor sprite walks on the Lappy screen and burninates the email signature. The Trogdor Arcade Game theme music plays in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Yeah, I go to concerts. Why else would I own a pair of Hollywood Boulevards?

''{Scene cuts to the laundry room, showing a pan-out of Strong Bad wearing a pink leopard-pattern bandanna and unusual shoes, different from the ones he normally wears }''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, hello, plea-ted boots. What are you all gussied up for?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up, man! I always dress like this.

''{cuts to close-up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm going to see Limozeen tonight. But I never heard of the opening band, so I'm gonna show up fashionably late. What are you all gussied ''down'' for?

'''STRONG SAD:''' I'm going to see a show tonight too. But I've never heard of the headliner, so I'm gonna leave fashionably early.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, those two things don't sound at all related. Bye loser!

''{Both Strong Bad and Strong Sad walk off-screen, cut back to Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Hey, guess what? They were related. Apparently, Limozeen was trying to expand their audience into people that ''{pauses awkwardly}'' went to college. So, they got this band sloshy to open up for them. But Limozeen ended up canceling because...

''{a paper labeled 'LIMOZEEN Contract Rider' appears on-screen}''

'''LARRY PALARONCINI:''' ''{drums in background}'' Our audience must be 94% hot young females with bangs higher than or equal to our own. ''{Drums get more intense}'' And also a deviled egg tray! ''{The words "Deviled Egg Tray!" appear hand-written on the contract}''

''{Paper disappears}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So, Limozeen just hung out in their tour bus and watched ESPN Classic all night, while sloshy played both sets. Needless to say, I was perplexed, and intrigued.
''{Strong Bad types and pronounces "intrigued" as intriguéd}''

''{Cut to The Field, at night. Strong Bad and Strong Sad are walking back home.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, help me out here. Were they missing some members? Where was their lead guitarist?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, that was the ''whole band.''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?! You're not allowed to have a band with only ''three people'' in it! And something else suspicious. What happened to the bassist's sunglasses? Did the lenses fall out?

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, Strong Bad, those were just ''regular glasses.''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shock and horror!

''{Cut to The Basement. Strong Bad and Strong Sad are playing an Atari game}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' But they must be like, a brand new band, right?

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, they've been around for five or six years now...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Then why haven't they grown their hair long yet?

'''STRONG SAD:''' I think those are just their haircuts, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''Really?''

''{Cut to the bathroom. Strong Sad is brushing his teeth, while Strong Bad is just standing there talking, holding his toothbrush.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So somebody must've stolen their costume trailer, huh? Man, that's rough. They couldn't wear any of their spandex, or latex, or... Tex-mex...

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{takes toothbrush out of mouth to speak}'' They don't wear costumes. They were probably just wearing what they've been wearing all day.

'''STRONG BAD:''' But... The music rocked.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{takes toothbrush out of mouth again to speak}'' Yes.

'''STRONG BAD:''' And they weren't wearing costumes.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{takes toothbrush out of mouth again to speak, and shakes his head}'' ''No.''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Huh... Interesting.

''{cut to a mud-bath area in the field. Strong Bad and Strong Sad both have towels on their heads and cucumber slices on their eyes. Strong Sad's stomach is sticking out of the top of the mud bath}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' There were no high leg kicks, or choreographed spin moves... And that one guy even had his back to us all night.

''{zoom-in to Strong Bad and Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's like they don't really even care about me. Like when they played that song called 'We don't really even care about you'?

''{Cut to The Basement. A sloshy CD in [[SeeDees]] is playing the just-mentioned song. Zoom out to Homestar and Strong Bad playing with [[Cheat Commandos]] toys.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And ''no'' pyrotechnics?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nope. They just strung a bunch of Christmas lights over their bass drum.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{somewhat perturbed}'' And they still rocked?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, totally! And they can't be bothered to play solos, so they always leave a space to sing your own! Check out these ''mow da mows.''

''{Strong Bad imitates an electric guitar solo. Homestar is, unsurprisingly, amazed at this feat.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{walking up}'' Hey, hey! ''slosh-ay!''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''slosh-ay!''

'''HOMESTAR:''' You guys are ''so lame.''

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And that's how sloshy became one of my favorite metal bands.

''{Cut back to show Strong Sad standing nearby, holding a sloshy record.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, Strong Bad, I wouldn't exactly call sloshy ''metal.''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What're you talkin' about? Of course they're metal. Look at the facts.

'''STRONG BAD:''' No costume.

''{a costume appears on the screen, which is promptly X-ed out}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Short hair.

''{long yellow hair appears, which promptly morphs into short brown hair}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...A logo that's not jaggedy or drippety at all...

''{A 'jaggedy,' non upside-down rendition of the sloshy logo appears, which then turns upside-down and becomes the normal sloshy logo.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And songs that aren't about girls... Los Angeles... or good... times...

''{A CD appears with a track listing reading '1. Smokin' fine honey-child; 2. Sunset Strip(pers); 3. Party Patrol' appears, and then changes to read '1. ok fine; 2. unripe; 3. art troll'.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{record scratch}'' Hey, wait a minute! You tricked me! Sloshy's not metal!

'''STRONG SAD:''' I didn't ''trick'' you, I was just helping you broaden your horizons...

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll broaden ''your'' horizons!

''{Strong Bad grabs the sloshy record and slams it over Strong Sad's head, shattering it and leaving a piece embedded in the top of Strong Sad's head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And that's how sloshy became one of my least favorite bands.

''{[[New Paper]] slides down}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh... That sound... It's got no punch. You just kinda slither out, like a boring lizard's tongue. Let's try this.

''{Strong Bad pulls out a floppy disk and chucks it into New Paper. It sticks at the top of the screen.}''

''{New Paper prints some more, now saying 'How ya like me now?' A grinding sound can be heard instead of the normal paper sound, and plastic chunks fall from where the floppy disk is}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' There we go... We're good at least until you completely shred that disk.

''{New Paper retracts slightly. The grinding sound can be heard, and more plastic chunks fall.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end, click on the word "favorite" to see a short scene with Senor Cardgage.

:''{The Intregway logo appears beside him, then disappears}''
:'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Dump tell no mandy, ''{the words "Dump Tell No Mandy!" flash at bottom of screen}'' it's just a land mower turned bankways! If you help me buy it, I'll cut you in!

== Fun Facts ==
=== Explanations ===
*A [[Wikipedia:Rider (theater)|rider]] is a set of requests or demands that a performer sets as criteria for performance.

*The type of music where band members have their backs to the audience is a genre known as [[Wikipedia: Shoegaze |shoegaze]]. Members will stand motionless for the whole show, appearing as though they are merely staring at their shoes, which is where the term "shoegaze" comes from.

=== Trivia ===
*Limozeen's contract rider reads:

Hammerspace

Itama — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 23:45:33 GMT

Itama: 4 branches

[[Image:The Cheat hammerspace.PNG|thumb|The Cheat emerging from Hammerspace]]
Residents of the [[Homestar Runner universe]] often reach into '''[[Wikipedia:Hammerspace|Hammerspace]]''' to access regularly unavailable items. Hammerspace is an imagined "storage realm" that allows cartoon characters to have access to practically any item they wish without impeding the plot or ruining comedic timing. As in most other animated works of fiction, the other characters usually make no mention of and seemingly do not respond to the appearance of the new items.
It is notable that, due to a lack of a printer, it can be said that [[The Paper]] always emerges from Hammerspace, although the email [[the paper]] shows a printer falling too.

Lack of Intelligible Speech

Itama — Sun, 05 Aug 2007 17:14:51 GMT

Itama: /* The Cheat */ Slightly convoluted, but I hope it gets the point across

[[Image:Pom Pom and Poopsmith thinking.PNG|thumb|A rare glimpse into the minds of these two mysterious characters]]
A few [[characters]], as well as their respective counterparts in [[1936]] and [[20X6]], have an apparent '''lack of intelligible speech'''. However, the audience is usually able to understand the basics what these characters attempt to communicate, either through their actions and facial expressions, through other intelligible-speaking characters' reactions, or, rarely, through on-screen subtitles.

==Characters with a lack of intelligible speech==
===[[The Cheat]]===
The Cheat speaks only in squeaks and animal-sounding grunts and yelps. In [[cheat talk]], after failing to get him to say something normal like "Douglas", it is suggested that the viewers have to learn how to speak "The Cheat". Subsequently, in an Easter egg of that same email, a short recording teaches a few phrases of the indecipherable language. Interestingly enough, although the others of the Homestar Runner universe can understand him perfectly, they do not understand themselves when they speak it. The Cheat's [[Old-Timey]] counterpart, [[The Sneak]], communicates only by wiggling his nose, and his [[20X6]] counterpart, [[Cheatball]], has yet to say anything beyond his own name.

===[[Pom Pom]]===
Pom Pom speaks through sounds resembling bubbles. Like The Cheat, every character shows a clear and definitive understanding of his speech. In [[A Jumping Jack Contest]], Strong Bad attempts to pose as Pom Pom by, among other things, mimicking his speech: "Hey, give me that! Uh, I mean — bubble, bubble-dee-bubble. Dubble Bubble." Also, in [[senior prom]], Homestar accepts the prom king award on Pom Pom's behalf, and in doing so, gargles [[Listerine]] in an attempt to imitate his friend. Pom Pom's old-timey counterpart, [[Fat Dudley]], speaks by singing a simple, jazzy "boh-boh-boh" tune. His 20X6 counterpart, [[Pan Pan]], speaks by making a bouncing noise.

===[[Sherlock]]===
Sherlock, the helicopter/cow from Strong Bad's [[Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]], speaks only through indistinct mumbling. No other character has shown or demonstrated the ability to understand what Sherlock has ever "said".

===[[Strong Mad]]===
Although Strong Mad can be understood most of the time, his [[Old-Timey]] counterpart [[Strong Man]] does not speak, although he does growl and roar when appropriate.

===[[The Poopsmith]]===
The Poopsmith has been noted as having taken a [[Wikipedia:Vow of silence|vow of silence]], but is still able to communicate in some ways. An ironic example of this was when, in [[senior prom]], The Poopsmith was the lead vocalist of [[All the King's Men!]]. Since, unlike other characters, The Poopsmith makes almost no vocal sounds at all, he seems to communicate mainly in the form of gestures such as shrugs of the shoulders and thumbs-up; additionally, he has communicated by holding up a written sign. In [[different town]], Strong Bad claimed that one thing he would change about his town is that "the Poopsmith ... could talk".

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' My email song! Where would I be without my email song? ''{brings up the email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: Handling Smelly Underling?</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
I am a manager and I have been told I must talk to one 
of my underlings about their stench. As the foremost 
expert in dealing with smelly underlings, I ask you, what is 
the best way to go about this? I wish to do this with 
some tact & professionalism. 
Sincerely, 
PlasticDiverGuy 
Dartmouth, Nova Scotia
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronounces each word in the greeting separately, with short deliberate pauses between them. He pronounces "Dartmouth" as two separate words, and "Scotia" phonetically as SKO-tee-uh.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Man, that show Nova is boring, but I'd watch a show called Dartmouth anyday. ''{clears screen}'' Now lemme tell ya PastyDeadGuy, you came to the right man. I've got so many underlings, I've had to deal with nearly every awkward social situation under the awkward social sun. I'm an expoit! ''{clears screen}'' Firstly, nothing says tact and professionalism like sending a subtle hint with a hilarious novelty t-shirt. So in your situation, you could just start wearing a shirt that has like,

''{Cut to a blank T-shirt}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —some kinda—

''{A scientist holding a test tube appears on the shirt.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —science person on it, with a clothespin—

''{A clothespin appears on the scientist's nose.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —on his nose, and underneath it says: "You Reek-A!"

''{"You Reek-A!" appears on the shirt. Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' That way, your smelly underling, or smunderling, can get the message from across the room, and you can safely stay out of stink's reach.

''{Cut to Strong Bad in the bathroom, reading a newspaper titled "Da News Papes". He looks up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know, I think I'd probably watch a TV show called "Stink's Reach", too.

''{He looks back down. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Secondly, nothing says tact and professionalism like slowly revealing a sensitive topic to a friend or loved one—

''{Cut to Strong Sad, drawing on a piece of paper with a pencil.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —with a clever connect-the-dots puzzle.

''{Cut to a closeup of the paper. It's a crocodile wearing sunglasses, holding a sign that reads "WE'RE GOING TO NEED YOU TO FLUSH TWICE!". The connect-the-dots portion is only the rectangular outline of the sign. Strong Sad stops drawing.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' What is he trying to say to me with this cryptic message? ''{taps the pencil twice on "cryptic"}''

''{Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Furthermore, nothing says pact and trofesssionalism like breaking tough news to someone with a reverse sunburn—

''{Cut to the pool, slowly zooming in. A sunburned Strong Mad faces away from the pool, which Coach Z is in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —on your brother's giant, square, billboard-sized back!

''{Strong Mad lowers his singlet revealing his back which reads "your tiny bathing suit demeans us ALL!" Cut to a closeup.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{slowly}'' Your tiny bathing suit demeans us all.

''{Cut to Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Aw, fine then! I'll take it orf!

''{He reaches underwater and pulls out a very small pink g-string. The water turns black around him, accompanied by an odd humming noise. Cut back to behind Strong Mad.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' PUT IT BACK ON! PUT IT BACK ON!

''{Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Lastly, nothing says tact and professionalism like a hidden message written in condiments.

''{Cut to a picnic. Homestar Runner is sitting at the table. Strong Bad is wearing an oven mitt and holding a plate with a hot dog with his right hand, and holding a bottle of ketchup in his left. Some ketchup has spilled on the ground. More hot dogs can be seen on a grill behind him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Here ya go, chumpion!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{taking the hot dog; something small and green is visible in his mouth.}'' Ooh! Thanks, grillmasta!

''{Cut to the picnic table as Homestar puts the hot dog down. It has "you've had that piece" written on it in ketchup.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You've had that piece—

''{The camera pans to another hot dog, with "of cilantro" written on in mustard.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —of cilantro—

''{The camera pans to a hamburger without its upper bun. "stuck between your teeth" is written in ketchup.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —stuck between your teeth—

''{The camera pans yet again to a waffle with "since we ate at that mexican restaurant" with an arrow written in syrup.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —since we ate at that Mexican restaurant—

''{The camera pans again to three pieces of sushi with "2" "wks" and "ago" written on them in wasabi.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —two weeks ago.

''{Cut to a closeup of Homestar, who has a small piece of cilantro stuck in his mouth}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Two weeks?!... ''TEETH?!''

''{Cut to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing, in a slightly high-pitched voice and in a forced manner}'' In conclusion, these are just some of the many things that nothing says tact and professionalism like. I hope you have enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it. If elected class president, I can't promise you Coke in the water fountains, but I ''can'' promise a hard-worker that will make a difference. And try to get Mrs. Hardmaster fired.

''{He quickly clears the screen, while shaking his head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing, speaking normally}'' Whoa! It's like I regressed back to the fifth grade there. And the golden days of the five-paragraph essay. Well, good luck with your smunderling, PranceyDirtGirl. I gotta get started making those 'You Reek-A' t-shirts. Those things are gonna be awesome!

''{[[The Paper]] comes down.}''

==Easter Eggs==

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*The [[wikipedia:Essay#The_five-paragraph_essay|five paragraph essay]] is composed of an intro paragraph, three body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Essays of this type are commonly used throughout late elementary and middle school. This e-mail roughly follows the five-paragraph essay format, but uses four body paragraphs instead of three.
*"Pact and trofessionalism" is a [[Wikipedia:Spoonerism|spoonerism]], the switching of the initial letters in two words of a phrase. In this case, "'''t'''act and '''p'''rofessionalism" becomes "'''p'''act and '''t'''rofessionalism".

===Trivia===
*The newspaper reads:
{| style="border-collapse: collapse; border: 3px solid #999"
| style="border-right: 3px solid #999; font-size: 2em; text-align: center; line-height: 1em; padding: 5px; font-family:Times New Roman,serif" | Back Pape
| style="border-left: 3px solid #999; font-size: 2em; text-align: center; line-height: 1em; padding: 5px; font-family:Times New Roman,serif" | Da NewsPapes
|-
| style="border-right: 3px solid #999; padding: 5px; font-family:Times New Roman,serif;font-size:120%" | A sports player signed a contract worth a bunch of money. "Whooey!" said the player's uncle. "I could buy a car with that much cashness."
| style="border-left: 3px solid #999; padding: 5px; font-family:Times New Roman,serif;font-size:120%" | Global relations set all types of box office records this weekend. Studio execs were encouraged by the turn -around. So was I.
|}
* This email is the first email since [[looking old]] not to mention [[DNA evidence (running gag)|DNA Evidence]].
*After typing "And try to get Mrs. Hardmaster fired.", Strong Bad originally typed "for child abuse." just before clearing the screen. This was later removed for unknown reasons.
*This the last email to see the paper in full shape.

===Remarks===
[[Image:Connect the dots.PNG|thumb|A cryptic message]]
*Homestar seems to be surprised at the prospect of having teeth even though they were clearly visible in [[theme song]].
*Although Strong Bad appeared to dislike long emails in [[long pants]], this email contains 59 words, 3 words longer than the said email.
*Although Strong Mad is revealed to have underwear in [[strong badathlon]], it seems to be absent when he takes off his singlet to reveal the message to Coach Z.
*In the Easter egg, the left post of the "Stink's Reach" sign is in the middle of the road.
*The scientist on the "You Reek-A!" t-shirt has eyes that are used from Strong Sad's right eye.
*Some of the dots on Strong Sad's connect-the-dots puzzle are separated by the crocodile's mouth and hands. Strong Sad doesn't connect the dots that are separated, and simply skips over them.
*In the [[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons menu]], the clip that appears on the TV when rolling the mouse over "Underlings" in New Stuff shows Homestar accepting a hot dog from Strong Bad without cilantro hanging from his "teeth."

===Goofs===
*Strong Bad spells "trofesssionalism" with three S's.

===Fixed Glitches===
*When the email was first released, at the end, the "I" at the beginning of "I gotta get started..." was clickable, but did not do anything. This was fixed a few hours after the email was released.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad read [[Periodicals|Da NewsPapes]] while in the bathroom in [[candy product]].
*Strong Bad is holding a [[Quite Fancy 'Chup]] bottle (the label is obscured by his glove).
*Strong Bad refers to the emailer as "[[Prancing|Prancey]]".
*This is another instance of Strong Bad's [[couch mumbling]].
*The smunderling's fact sheet in general is very similar to [[Jhonka]]'s from [[impression]].
*This is another appearance of [[oven mitts]].
*"Smunderling" and "chumpion" are both [[Portmanteaus]].

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:NOVA (TV series)|NOVA]] is a [[Wikipedia:PBS|PBS]] television series about science topics which premiered in 1974 and is still running to this day.
*[[Wikipedia:The Lost Vikings|The Lost Vikings]] is a side-scrolling puzzle/platform video game developed and released by Silicon & Synapse (now [[Wikipedia:Blizzard Entertainment|Blizzard Entertainment]]) in 1992.
*The information about the smunderling's frequency, intelligence and armor class refers to the way that [[Wikipedia:Dungeons & Dragons|Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] monsters are described, like that previously used for the Jhonka.
*The "Awkward Social Sun" CD and particularly the hairstyle on its cover are a reference to [[Wikipedia:Emo (slang)|emo]] culture. 
*The "Stink's Reach" promo is a parody of the [[Wikipedia:ABC|ABC]] drama series ''[[Wikipedia:Twin Peaks|Twin Peaks]]''.

===Fast Forward===
*The "You Reek-A!" T-shirt was later made available for purchase in the [[Store]].

On it are drawings of a swingset, Little Strong Bad, and Anonymous, who looks suspiciously like Strong Sad with a question mark for a face. Anonymous is kicking a soccer ball, and faint playground chatter is present in background}''

'''NOTEBOOK STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Anonymous! Why don't ya, um, write a poem or something and not attribute it to yourself!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Or, like...

''{The paper switches out. This one features Anonymous with his hands glued to his butt, Strong Bad, and Tompkins, again with faint playground chatter.}''

'''NOTEBOOK STRONG BAD:''' Yo, Anonny! Maybe try calling the cops and giving them some valuable information to help solve a crime without revealing your own identityiyiyiy!

''{The paper disappears offscreen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh. Kids can be so cruel. ''{clears screen, resumes typing}'' OK, back on task. To tell you the truth, you guys have already heard mosta my rock opera. I've been composing it over the last three and a half years. It's simply titled "SBEMAIL!" ''{A poster for SBEMAIL! appears onscreen}'' And the lyrics consist of one word from each of my 125 emails! ''{The poster disappears}'' Now, it may not make a whole lotta sense but when have I ever backed down from a bad idea, right? Now let's get this train wreck a-rollin'!

''{Cut to some curtains, which open, beginning the opera.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat... ixnay on the cut-it-out-throwing-roses-at-me! ...nay.

'''THE CHEAT:''' Meh!

''{The Cheat throws a rose at Strong Bad's face and it sticks there.}''

''{Cut back to the Lappy, where [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

== Easter Eggs ==

* Click ''rave reviews'' to see some reviews of Sbemail:
**"SBEMAIL! Is a Triumph of Some Sort!!!" "It will leave you wanting MORE, MORE, MORE!" -(Perhaps)The Deke
**"A million stars!!!" -Age 7
**"SBEMAIL! is better than a [[goat]]!!" - The Biscuitdoughhandsman Review

* Click ''Pouring in'' to see a poster for SBEMAIL!
:"an off13 Broadway rock opera from the man who brought you 'Dangeresque: Put 'Em On Ice!'"
*While on the poster, click '[[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]]: put em on ice' to see a clip of Dangeresque: Put 'Em On Ice!
:''{Cut to somewhere in The Field in winter, with a small ice pond in the foreground. Strong Bad (as Dangeresque) skates in from the right}''
:'''DANGERESQUE:''' So I'm gonna have to jum—
:''{Dangeresque falls through the ice.}''
:'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{offscreen}'' Meh! ''{throws a rose onto the ice, and a [[Wikipedia:Vibraslap|vibraslap]] hit can be heard}''
* Click the ''Encore'' that appears on the bottom-right of the Lappy screen when you scroll your mouse over it to see the rock opera again.

== Fun Facts ==

=== Explanations ===
*A [[Wikipedia:Rock opera|rock opera]] is, as the name implies, a sung dramatic work in a rock, instead of classical, musical style. The term originated with the programmatic works of [[Wikipedia:The Who|The Who]], in particular their rock opera ''[[Wikipedia:Tommy (rock opera)|Tommy]]''.
*off13 Broadway refers to [[Wikipedia:Off-Broadway|Off-Broadway]] and [[Wikipedia:Off-Off-Broadway|Off-Off-Broadway]], classifications of theatre size in New York theatre venues. Off-Broadway refers to theatres with audience sizes between 100 and 499, and Off-Off-Broadway refers to theatres with 100 seats or less. The concept behind them is that having a very small house allows for productions that are much more experimental and financially risky. However, Strong Bad's "off13" means that his musical is off-off-off-off-off-off-off-off-off-off-off-off-off broadway, or the word 'off' multiplied by itself thirteen times.

=== Trivia ===
*This is the first email where all twelve main characters appear in person. (The Poopsmith and Pom Pom were only on playing cards in [[your friends]] and [[different town]], respectively.)
*Each quotation is truly taken from each email, in order. The first word is from [[some kinda robot]], the second from [[homsar]], and [[Rock Opera Context|so forth]].
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#colorado|colorado]]".
*The same strobe lights from [[techno]] are seen during the "Positate without pizzaz and jam" section of the song. However, both lights in this email are different colors from the lights in techno.
*The song that plays during the "Whatever action baby actually went jibblie. Oooh! Oh. Party like completely great, good. Down town ladies get consummate." part is the song "One giant chorus line of people" from the Simpsons episode "[[wikipedia:Treehouse of Horror V |Treehouse of Horror V]]"

=== Remarks ===
*The email rap and the flipside version are clips of Strong Bad saying the same thing, but they are different versions of it. If you reverse the clip, the most obvious difference is that the flipside version doesn't have a pause after the word "email."
*The word ''crackin''' isn't actually heard in [[fingers]], and though it likely was recorded, the audio layer is turned down or the narrator is completely overpowering Strong Bad's voice.
*The Poopsmith, Bubs, and Pom Pom all remain motionless when the cast yells "SBEMAIL!", though it may be that the Poopsmith is silent on purpose, courtesy of his vow of silence.
*Strong Bad ''did'' back down from a bad idea in [[other days]], when he decided not to speak the entire email as a robot. He also decided against singing the entire email in [[portrait]]
*When Dangeresque falls through the ice, the hole is smaller than his head.
*Strong Bad technically asked The Cheat to throw another rose at him. "Ixnay" in [[Wikipedia:Pig Latin|Pig Latin]] translates to "nix", meaning "cut it out" or "stop". Therefore, the whole phrase constituted a [[Wikipedia:double negative|double negative]] meaning "continue throwing roses at me."

=== Goofs ===
[[Image:Trevorthevampire_versus_rockopera.PNG|thumb|300px|Everybody wanna scam some wrestleman's eyes...]]
*You can still click the contrast buttons on the [[Tandy 400|Tandy]] while the opera is playing, although it doesn't actually affect the contrast of the screen.
*When roses are being thrown with the Lappy in the background, you can't see the reflection of the roses on the Lappy's screen.
*In [[trevor the vampire]], when Strong Bad goes up to the screen and says "Hi, everybody," his eyes were given the newer style. However, in the opera, the same scene was shown, but his eyes were still the old style.
*When Strong Bad says "Tonight" (in "Tonight equals dancing, yeah!"), a bit of the sound is cut off.
*When The Cheat throws a rose in Strong Bad's face, it hits his left eye. However, when Strong Bad starts freaking out about it, the rose is on his right eye.
*When the cast yells "SBEMAIL!" Strong Mad's mouth appears on Homsar's torso for a few seconds.
**Though not noticeable without zooming in, once everyone has finished yelling "SBEMAIL!", Homsar's lip comes between Homestar's head and shirt; more specifically, in front of the head, and behind the shirt.

*When the word "metal" zooms out toward the screen passing in front of Strong Bad, his mouth appears on top of the word instead of behind it.
*If you play the opera again (via the "ENCORE!" in the corner), a slight bit of the audio for the part afterwards will play.

=== Inside References ===
*The shoes that walk across the screen are the back button of the old main page.
**The shoes were also used as a back button in [[She Loves Me!]]
*On the second making-fun-of-Anonymous piece-of-paper, Anonymous has his hands glued to his butt, which also happened to Strong Sad in the e-mail [[1 step ahead]].
**Also, the drawing of Anonymous has two toenails, much like Strong Sad.
**Strong Sad also gave an "anonymous tip" in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]].
*Also on the second piece-of-paper, Strong Bad's legs are positioned like those of [[Wrestleman]] from the weekly [[Sketchbook]].
*When Strong Bad's typing starts going awry as The Cheat is throwing roses at him, he types "the chicks" as "teh chekts", a reference to the immediately preceding Strong Bad E-mail [[secret recipes]].
*When Strong Bad appears to have two electric guitars sticking out of his head, it is a reference to the cover art for the CD [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]].
*Strong Bad sitting in the chair swirling the wine in the cup is modeled after a similar scene from [[Everybody to the Limit]].
**Strong Bad also swirls his wine in [[montage]].
**The background behind him in this scene is from [[dangeresque 3]].
*The action figures of Strong Sad and Strong Bad are from the Strong Bad Email [[action figure]].
*The background of the area with the pyramid of gold bars (pre-explosion) is taken directly from [[RhinoFeeder]].
*The "Goodtime Palace" is modeled after similar scenes from [[animal]] and even features Baby Styles.
**Also, the normal "black frame" around the screen changes to the Cheat's poorly drawn frame from his "[[Powered by The Cheat]]" Cartoons.
*The picture of the "Hardest Guitar Chord Ever" comes from [[privileges]].
*[[Club Technochocolate]] is originally from [[extra plug]].
** The word "technochocolate" itself comes from [[monument]].
*The rock music which starts at Club Technochocolate uses the same chord progression as ''The Cheat Is Not Dead'' from [[caper]].
*The stage the entire cast is grouped on at the end is seen in [[A Decemberween Pageant]], among other holiday toons.
*The "biscuitdoughhandsman review" in the Easter egg is yet another reference to everyone's favorite unapprehended villain, [[Biscuit Dough Hands Man]].
*"[[The Deke]]" is originally from [[autobiography]].
*Strong Bad's dance move with Baby Styles is a reference to [[virus]] when he compliments Bubs for being a computer genius man.
*"Sbemail" is a reference to the filename of every Strong Bad e-mail. Strong Bad also refers to this in [[unused emails]] and [[kids' book]].
*This isn't the first time Strong Bad has spoken backwards; he also does it on [[Strong Bad's Message Bored]].
*The guitars featured in the email are the same as in the Easter egg in the email [[new hands]].
*The Pixelated Strong Bad with the Pink hoodie is a reference to an Easter egg in the strong bad email [[montage]].
*"NO FOR RENT" is a reference to a response from the [[Jhonka]] in [[Peasant's Quest]].
*The Easter egg newspaper review from a 7-year-old is from when Puppet Strong Bad appeared on G4's "Attack of the Show!" answering phone calls and asked a caller he was talking to if he was 7 years old, due to the tone and sound of his voice.

=== Real-World References ===
*Strong Bad's "Ándale! Ándale! Arriba! Arriba!" at the end is quoting the famous Warner Bros. cartoon mouse [[Wikipedia:Speedy Gonzales|Speedy Gonzales]].
*The electric guitars in the opera are (or are modeled after) the Gibson V-Factor, more commonly known as "Flying V".
*The amps are modeled after Marshall stacks, but instead of "Marshall," the logo reads "An Amp". These were also used in [[different town]] and [[Cool Things]], but labeled "Marzipan".
*Strong Bad's song at the beginning of the e-mail may be a reference to Missy Elliott's [[wikipedia:Work It|Work It]], where she says "I put my thang down, flip it, and reverse it! Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gnaht ym tup I!"
*Strong Bad walking toward the camera while neon signs fly by is also a commonly used movie cliché when the main-character gets overwhelmed by the nightlife of the city (most famously in the 1945 film ''[[Wikipedia:The Lost Weekend|The Lost Weekend]]'').


=== Fast Forward ===
*A [[Rock Opera (karaoke)|karaoke]] video was released for the Rock Opera on the [[strongbad_email.exe Disc Four|Strong Bad Email DVD]].
*The "guitar stars" were re-used in [[Summer Short Shorts]].
*A more realistic gold bar pile (seen in 'double the real gold') is seen in [[space program]].

==DVD Version==
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

===Commentary Transcript===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Mike Chapman]])

'''MIKE:''' Joined in the booth here by none other—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitates backwards speech in email's opening}'' See, I—people think I—they just flipped the audio track when I really said—

'''MIKE:''' I wasn't done—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' —that, live.

'''MIKE:''' —introducing you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, but I had to get in on the game!

'''MIKE:''' This, this is Strong Bad, everyone.

'''STRONG BAD:''' And this is—

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' He's gonna be—he's gonna being doing the commentary with me.

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is By-The-Book Mike, over here, this guy—

'''MIKE:''' We have—we've gotta do things by the rules.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, since—

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' It's not gonna work, it's not gonna work if we don't—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look, we're not going to make a very good cop team, alright, 'cause ''I'' don't play by the rules, ''Mike.''

'''MIKE:''' Uh, did you do these drawings?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I did. Look, I've even got—

'''MIKE:''' These-they're bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?

'''MIKE:''' They're bad drawings.

'''STRONG BAD:''' They're great drawings! Look at little Tompkins.

'''MIKE:''' Tomp—

'''STRONG BAD:''' He's laughing at Strong Sad. ''{in high voice}'' "Put his hands on his butt again, they got glued there."

'''MIKE:''' Okay, don't—don't get up to high voices.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still in high voice}'' I'm in a high voice now!

'''MIKE:''' I don't like the high voice realm.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still in high voice}'' It is my best voice!

'''MIKE:''' Oh, so which email is this we're doing here?

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is the one where I do my rock opera!

'''MIKE:''' Oh, rock opera. So this was—

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's a retrospective.

'''MIKE:''' This was, uh, so were you really planning this from day one?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Of course, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' So you—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Everything on this website has been planned since day one.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, reall—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' I guarantee it.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, that's true, Mike. Like, I'm gonna put this b—lightbulb in my mouth!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' That's a coffee cup, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{hushed}'' Don't tell them, ''{returns to normal volume}'' look! ''{Mike laughs}'' That was just for the sound effect—

'''MIKE:''' By the books! That didn't even sound like a lightbulb.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''By the books.'' Pants—those are some—

'''MIKE:''' Nice burlap pants! ''{laughs}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' He was wearing a burlap sack for pants.

'''MIKE:''' I hear you had to, uhh—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, look, I was singing that song from American Tail. ''{Mike laughs}'' It was like "Somewheres... out there..." Ooh, that's a new way to look at me.

'''MIKE:''' That is—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' From the front side!

'''MIKE:''' The front view walk clip.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm doin' a front side air... over there.

'''MIKE:''' We'll have to use that, again.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nope. ''{imitates self in email}'' Matic, matic. Ooh, this, this, who's playin' this guitar? 'Cause this music, I didn't even do. It showed up on my doorstep.

'''MIKE:''' Euhh, I made some of it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh.

'''MIKE:''' Matt and I made it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's the hardest chord ever, right?

'''MIKE:''' That was the hardest chord ever, played by Gary Palaroncini—there's two of the Palaroncinis right there.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wow, everybody's got metal hair, in this—

'''MIKE:''' Everybody's—

'''STRONG BAD:''' —video.

'''MIKE:''' —gettin' in on the action.

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat helped me out with a lot of this.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, it looks like it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Visuals.

'''MIKE:''' You can—you can tell.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I for—I think I was calling... all cars.

'''MIKE:''' What do you call—what's that girl's name?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, that's Cynthentia.

'''MIKE:''' Cyn—''{laughs}'' Cynthentia.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What I heard.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' How, uh, have you talked to her lately?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah... that's what I was calling, on the phone, earlier, when I said—

'''MIKE:''' Cynthentia.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' "Experience dance tonight."

'''MIKE:''' What famous ladies like SBEMAIL—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh—

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' —on that—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bruce Willis. Uh, Beck.

'''MIKE:''' Those are both guys.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Umm... Robin Williams.

'''MIKE:''' Those are all guys.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, look, the list just keeps on going—

'''MIKE:''' Is Cynthenti—

'''STRONG BAD:''' —until it turns into women. ''{Mike laughs}'' Oh, the guitarist from Liz Phair.

'''MIKE:''' That's a guy, too.

'''STRONG BAD:''' AUGH! But Liz Phair isn't a guy. It was hard to type on that with a buncha—

'''MIKE:''' You didn't—you weren't able to do it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Not very well!

'''MIKE:''' No.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh, Colorado, remember that game?

'''MIKE:''' ''{unintelligible}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' That game had... VGA graphics.

'''MIKE:''' There were some sweet graphics.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Good graphics.

*Mike says that they need to use the frontal view of Strong Bad walking again, and they did in the [[SBLOUNSKCHED!]] commercial in [[candy product]] and in [[rough copy]].

MixMastah 800

Itama — Thu, 31 May 2007 05:54:08 GMT

Itama: /* Remarks */ Homsar Duet

{{watchtoon|onetwomixer|view}}

[[Image:MixMastah800.PNG|thumb|"One, Two, One, Two..."]]

The '''MixMastah 800''' is the music machine that you can adjust after watching [[One Two, One Two]]. In addition to playing each character's sound, you can adjust the volume and stereo output.

'''Page title:''' You ARE the Mix Mastah!

==Sounds==
===[[Bubs]]===
'''BUBS''': ''{Bubs is grinding a meat grinder}'' Ooh! Ah! A-rink-a-dink-a-dink-a-dink-a-dink-a-dink-a-dink-a ''{repeats}''

===[[Strong Mad]] and [[The Cheat]]===
''{Strong Mad repeatedly lifts the cover off The King of Town's grill to reveal The Cheat}''

'''THE CHEAT''': ''{angry The Cheat noises}''

''{Strong Mad replaces the cover}''

'''STRONG MAD''': GAH!

''{repeats}''

===[[Homestar Runner]]===
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': One, two. One, two. ''{repeats}''

===[[Strong Sad]] and [[Coach Z]]===
''{Strong Sad and Coach Z are in the gymnasium} ''

'''STRONG SAD''': ''{pats his belly to make noise}''

''{scoreboard buzzer}''

'''COACH Z''': Atta boy!

''{repeats}''

===[[The King of Town]]===
''{The King of Town is eating from a pile of marshmallows}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN''': ''{endless eating noises}''

===[[Marzipan]]===
''{Marzipan plays a guitar riff on [[Carol]] over and over.}''

===[[Pom Pom]]===
''{Pom Pom is at [[Club Technochocolate]] continuously throwing 100 dollar bills into the air, making bouncing noises.}''

===[[The Poopsmith]]===
''{The Poopsmith continuously pats a pile of [[whatsit]] with his shovel. Each pat produces sound effects}''

===[[Homsar]] Solo===
''{Homsar stands against a starry background. Once selected, all other sounds pause until Homsar finishes.}''

'''HOMSAR''': ''{vaguely similarly to the song Strong Bad sings}'' AaAaAaA! OurAaAaA! UrAaAaAaA, Uwarwarwarwar! A-way-way-way-waa!

===[[Strong Bad]]===
*Strong Bad has three settings. The third, "Shut It!", merely turns off his sound effect in the middle of play.

====Chorus====
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Look out, world! I'm an independent girl! Rollin' around like a motorcade! Look out world! I'm an independent girl! ''{out of key}'' You can meet me down at the arcade!

====Verse====
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I'm a woman on the prowl and I stick up for myself! The city is at night and I'm dancin! ''Dancin!''

==Fun Facts==
===Remarks===
* When the page loads, Bubs's sound is enabled by default.
*The MixMastah 800 has a better [[audio quality]] than [[One Two, One Two]], similar to the sound quality in [[An Important Rap Song]] and [[Homestar Presents: Presents]].
*Homsar's solo is in stereo and switches back and forth from the right channel to the left.
*Even though Homsar's solo turns off all other sounds, Strong Bad will still sing when 'Chorus' or 'Verse' is pressed.

===Goofs===
*After you click on the Homsar solo, you can click on the Strong Bad "chorus" and "verse" buttons and they will play on top of Homsar.
*Clicking on Homsar's button while it is already playing will turn off all the sound effects when he is done.
*Pressing any of the MixMastah 800's "ON" buttons will start that scene's sounds in sync with the others. However, pressing the buttons next to Strong Bad starts him singing at the beginning of the chorus or verse after a delay, so that his singing doesn't match up with the downbeats unless you're careful about exactly when you push the button.

===Fixed Goofs===
[[Image:No_Leg_Strong_Bad!.gif|thumb|No Leg Strong Bad!]]
*When the MixMastah 800 was first released, neither Homsar nor Strong Bad had moving effects.
*When the game was first released, Strong Bad was wearing a different shower cap than in One Two, One Two.
**The shower cap Strong Bad was wearing was the same one Homestar wears in [[Main Page 14]].
*When the game was first released, Pom Pom's sound effect also included The Poopsmith's effect in the background.
*When the game was first released, the lines on the screens for Homsar and Strong Bad moved even when they weren't turned on, unlike all of the others.
*When the game was first released, Strong Bad did not have legs. This was fixed by making his screen shorter.
*This game originally didn't have a loading screen.

Itama: /* Easter Egg */

== Bubs' "Anything Goes!" Sausage ==

From what I can tell, [[Bubs]] grinds the following into sausage:
* Raw t-bone steak
* Yellow tennis ball (or possibly a lemon)
* Box of [[General Tso's Chicken]]

::::::I would say [[Audition with Marzipan]] is in the same vein, and that's considered a game, though I guess there's an interactive element since there's some kind of feedback. I guess it's an activity as much as the [[Limozeen Coloring Book]] is... maybe a new category is in order? [[User:Nynexman4464|Nynexman4464]] 00:35, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

:::::::If this is a game, wouldn't [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]] ''also'' be a game? It's interactive in the same way. [[User:Hagurumon|Hagurumon]] 00:38, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

::::::::Hmmm... maybe it is... but then so would be [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]]... and [[Marzipan's Answering Machine]] has buttons, so that's a game, and then sbemails have easter eggs, those are like a game 8-|. So yeah, maybe calling it a game would be a bad idea ;-). [[User:Nynexman4464|Nynexman4464]] 01:26, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

:::::::::If you ask me, no, this is a short and not a game, but if we have a separate page for ''just'' the lone MixMastah 800 link, I'd say that could count as a game. [[User:Hagurumon|Hagurumon]] 02:24, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

== "One Two" MP3 ==
The file does not exist as of now, and takes you to the classic "404ed!" page. --[[User:MadShrubbery|MadShrubbery]] 21:53, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
: When you say 'as of now', do you mean that one did exist but doesn't any more, or that one doesn't exist yet? {{User:Kahteh/sig}} 08:09, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

:::When I made the comment, there was a link on the main article page linking to a MP3. --[[User:MadShrubbery|MadShrubbery]] ~~
::::Yes, there was a link, but there never was an mp3 (for One Two) for download on homstarrunner.com. That's why the link was promptly removed.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 09:33, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
:::::OK, that makes sense. {{User:Kahteh/sig}} 09:43, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

== Makin' it Rain ==

Just thinkin' that Pom Pom's animation reminds me of the practice of "Makin' it rain" as frequently seen in rap music videos. This is especially topical, as Adam "Pacman" Jones, cornerback for the Tennessee Titans, was seen doing this very act in a strip club, and it lead to a shooting that left a bouncer paralyzed, and Jones suspended for a year from the NFL. -Telamon

:I'm no wikipenian, but I came in here to say what he said /\. Definitly a real world reference.

:I third this as a real world reference
::I think it most likely ''is'' a reference to "Makin' It Rain", but not to that specific incident. [[User:Hagurumon|Hagurumon]] 02:22, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

== MixMasta 800, Now in Monorual! ==

Is it just me, or is the MixMasta 800, despite havin' Left an' Right pan sliders, only play in monorual? {{User:Jessica Ingmann/sig}} 22:34, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
: The stereo sound works for me. What kind of speakers are you using? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:36, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
:: Crappy, generic ones that I love to death? Stereo ones, though! Lemme check again... I know it wasn't workin' earlier. Like, back when th' "Again?" button was there. *checks* ...ah. Crappy, '''broken''' ones I love to death that aren't giving me stereo sound anymore. ...crap... {{User:Jessica Ingmann/sig}} 22:55, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
::: Addendum! I got my speakers fixed! It was just a loose connection, turns out. Sorry about that, folks! And the page is indeed in stereo. {{User:Jessica Ingmann/sig}} 23:00, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

== Canibus reference? ==

Rapper Canibus recently launched the Poet Laureate Infinity (www.poetlaureateinfinity.com) site, allowing people to mix the vocals and beats from one of his new songs. Very similar to this toon. Coincidence, or not?
:Coincidence. A lot of people do that. [[User:Hagurumon|Hagurumon]] 23:52, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

== Big Fun ==
Did anyone else think that the MixMasta800 was a lot more fun than it a simple SFX mini-game should have been? Also(on a completely unrelated subject) this hasn't been added to the "TV Time Toons Menu" yet (I would link, but why bother? All of us know it). Does it(this short) link from the main page? [[User:Stinkoblade|Stinkoblade]] 01:03, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
:It is linked from the What's New? oval button, yes. It just hasn't been added to the toons menu. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 01:06, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Good to know. Now to ponder if it is a goof worthy of addition to da page...or just the fact they are probably working on a long toon and didn't remember to add it. Maybe the new sbemail even. Anyway, I'm still wondering about the funitude of the MixMasta. [[User:Stinkoblade|Stinkoblade]] 01:12, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
:"Funitude" is usually a great topic for the Forum rather than the Talk page, which is generally reserved for discussing the article about the toon rather than the toon itself. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 07:55, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

== BPM ==

I dunno if this is worthy of inclusion in the article or not, but just by recording the samples and looking for the loop points, it looks like most of the samples are in the area of 9.164 seconds long. Taking each of Homestar's one twos as a beat, that's 16 beats per sample. So 104.757 BPM, for all of waiting to do a techno remix. [[User:Nynexman4464|Nynexman4464]] 01:31, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Wow, thats actually kinda...slow. It seems faster when you mix them, but...wow. [[User:Stinkoblade|Stinkoblade]] 01:34, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

==HomSo-NOT-lo==

It's way too big of a stretch to assume HOMSOLO is a reference to Han Solo and not simply an abbrieviation of "Homsar Solo". --[[User:TaranchulaVAmp15|Taranch Vamp]] 22:11, 29 May 2007 (CST)

I think it is a to much of a stretch but its good that someone here has loyalty to sw not just sb - The coolest cat around
*Well, what'd you expect with the Star Wars 30th anniversary going on? Anyway, THis "Homsolo" thing may well be vague and coincidental. --[[User:Addict 2006|Addict]] [[User talk:Addict 2006|2006]] 13:47, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

== Peter Gunn ==

The first few notes of Marzipan's guitar riff remind me of the Peter Gunn theme. Anyone else hearing this? - [[User:Uglinessman|Ugliness Man]] 03:05, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes it is very similar, but i'm not sure its noteworthy -[[User:JamesDean|JamesDean]] 05:04, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

== Strong Sad's segment ==

Every fourth loop on the MixMastah 800, the sound Strong Sad makes when he hits his stomach is different from the previous three loops. Is anyone else hearing this? [[User:Hagurumon|Hagurumon]] 03:08, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it is slightly different, it sounds as if the basketball is being bounced a little further away -[[User:JamesDean|JamesDean]] 05:06, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

== Freakin' Browser Issues ==

uch, i can't get the poopsmith, pom pom, homsar or strong bad effect to play when i play the short in firefox, and when i play it in internet explorer some of the effects don't sync up. is anyone else getting this? --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman]] 03:37, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

:Exactly... think of it this way, in the phrase "I'm a woman on the prowl...", the word "woman" falls on the first beat of the bar, so you have to time it so that the "I'm a" part falls on one of Homestar's "two"s. So it's like "one, two, one, I'm a..." - [[User:Uglinessman|Ugliness Man]] 04:18, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

== Homsar Hat Screensaver ==

Does the motion of Homsar's hat recall the "Flying Objects" screensaver for Windows to anyone else?
- {{User:ReverendTed/sig}} 05:11, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

:Not really. Homsar's hat randomly flies around the area most of the time. -[[User:Itama|Itama]] 05:33, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
::I don't think it's that random, though - it lifts off his head and then heads diagonally to the corner, where it bounces against the edges of the screen at 90-degree angles (except for the last one which is a bit more obtuse), like the objects in the aforementioned screensaver. - {{User:ReverendTed/sig}} 06:01, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
:::Sounds likely, considering that the background he is against very closely resembles another popular Windows screensaver. [[User:220.239.200.215|220.239.200.215]] 11:55, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
::::I'd say it's a stretch. While the actual movement of Homsar's hat wasn't random, the fact that it was reflecting off the walls was. His hat does stuff like that all the time. Plus those "zipping through space" screensavers tend to have objects flying past the viewer, rather than reflecting around. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 18:19, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

== Cartoon Listing ==

The fact that the toon is listed on the main page only and not the toon page should be removed, IMO, because that's true of every new toon that's released for about a week...unless listing this fact and then taking it down later is the common policy and I'm not aware of it.
:Actually, most toons ARE listed at the time of their release. That's where we get titles from, usually. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 06:29, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

== Breaking the fourth wall ==
Would you consider Strong Bad tapping on the screen breaking the fourth wall? [[User:Yo yo mom|Yo yo mom]]
:He doesn't tap on the screen, he taps on the brush/microphone. Why would he ask if the screen was broken? {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 11:58, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
::I don't... ugh. Nevermind. {{unsigned|Yo yo mom|12:21, 29 May 2007 (UTC)}}
:::I didn't read this thread before I made {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=One_Two&oldid=464028 my change}}, but I think it looks and sounds like he's tapping the shower door (note that there was a foggable shower door in the very similar bathroom in [[Main Page 14]]). The noise is a hollow one that I wouldn't expect from a brush.

:::I see that the sound effect note in the [[Subtitles:onetwo/en|subtitles]] says, "microphone tapping sounds", which is plausible, but I still think it looks like he's tapping the door. For now, I'll change it back, then... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 13:18, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
::::He's tapping the brush as though it were a microphone because he's seeking to blame his poor singing on a broken microphone. It fits in well with "I need to get the acoustics checked in here".{{User:Ten Ten/sig}} 13:22, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

:::::I think that's possible, but the phrase, "the acoustics in here" refers to the way the sound bounces of the walls, not whether the sound equipment works. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 13:26, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
::::::I know that, but what I mean is that Strong Bad is seeking to find a cause for the poor sound quality, thus blaming both the acoustics AND the sound equipment.{{User:Ten Ten/sig}} 13:29, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
:::::::It definitely sounds more like tapping on a live mic than tapping on a glass door (it kinda also sounds like it might be tapping on wood, but I don't know of many transparent wood products... live mic is more likely). The angle of his fist as he taps the brush is odd, he's tapping it with the side of his fist, but if you frame-by-frame it, it's clear it's moving left/right, not forward/back. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 13:45, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
::I saw it a second time, and now I know what you mean. Sorry. These toons take forever to get. [[User:Yo yo mom|Yo yo mom]]
What about when he shouted for the Homsar Solo, since Homsar obviously wasn't in the shower with him or anything...? So I assume to must have known about the music video going on. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 18:16, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
:It's possible that they were collaborating on this together with the Cheat publishing it. They could have known it was a music video. -[[User:Itama|Itama]] 20:39, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

== real world ref? ==

when I saw that segment of SB sining in the shower, I thought he was singing a song from the 90's (AaAaAaAaAaAaA)
and anutha thing, the animation has REALLY improved!

What he's singing is every female rocker song ever made in the 90's. Simple as that. [[User:71.231.56.40|71.231.56.40]] 19:31, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

==Pink Floyd==
Anyone else think of “[[wikipedia:The Great Gig in the Sky|The Great Gig in the Sky]]” when Homsar’s doing his vocal solo? No? Then maybe I’m just crazy...—[[User:StrongstarRunbad|S*R]] 14:05, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

:That's a great song, but I don't think there's enough to pin it as a reference. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 16:22, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

== Easter Egg ==

I don't really think that the Mix Mastah is a Easter Egg. The link says "Mix Your Own Style." I think that if I was on a website, and it said that, I would think that I would be able to do what it says.
:It's an easter egg for lack of anything better to call it. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 20:20, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
:It might make sense to put it under Remarks instead, alongside the one that says it originally went right to it instead of clicking a link. -[[User:Itama|Itama]] 20:43, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

==Transcript==
''{A closeup of a time clock attached to a telephone pole. A time card is punched in. The words "Weclome Back" are shown, and flash various colors. Pull out to see Bubs holding a cup of coffee, in front of a table with styrofoam cups and an urn, in the Field. Marzipan enters and also punches in.}''

'''BUBS:''' Well, hello, Marzi-person! Welcome back.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, howdy, stranger!

'''BUBS:''' Stranger? I'm Bubs, remember?

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{unimpressed}'' Uh, I know. It's a joke.

'''BUBS:''' That's hilarious! How was your vacation?

'''MARZIPAN:''' It was toot sweet! I took the Cool Tapes on a midwestern tour ''{the tour map pops up}'' of bead shops and topiary gardens.

''{Cut to a topiary garden; Marzipan, Strong Mad and The Cheat are playing in the band}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{singing}''
:Cool tapes are cool, and we're better than ever,
:Cool tapes are cool, 'cause we're light as a feather.
:Keep it down with that real cool flavor,
:Me and The Cheat and our bass player.
:Rockin' the spot.
:Yeah, we're rockin' the spot.

''{Marzipan appears behind a topiary tree shaped like William Shakespeare.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Grapes, y'all! And don't forget we've got cool 7-inches for sale over at our merch table.

''{Cut to the merchandise table. Homsar is standing on it, it has a sign reading "Merch Masala" and another reading "Steven Inches $[[Pi|π]]"}''

'''HOMSAR:''' I'm a little light in the leftovers!

''{Homsar's hat flies off the left of the screen, then returns from the right and hits him on the head before settling back into its original position. Cut back to Bubs and Marzipan at the coffee table.}''

'''BUBS:''' I bet you drove the shapèd plants wild.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah, they were way into it. So what did you do?

'''BUBS:''' I drove my baloney sandwich truck down to the beach.

''{Cut to the tropical island. Bubs's "Baloney Sammich Truck", which resembles an ice-cream truck, doesn't quite fit, and the rear wheels are in the water.}''

'''BUBS:''' BAH-loh-NEH!!! Come on, people! Come on, palm tree! I'm-tryingtosellabaloneysammich!

''{An Atari seagull squawks and flies past.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{angrily to Atari seagull}'' You shut your face!

''{Cut back to the coffee table.}''

'''BUBS:''' I sold exactly zero baloney sandwiches!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, that's great!

'''BUBS:''' Yeah, it was pretty much my best summer ever.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{walks in}'' Same here. I spent two glorious weeks at Gluten Camp. I learned more about this oft-misunderstood plant protein than I ever thought possible.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' What''eva!'' ''{puts a time card in the time clock}'' I was across the lake at Glutton Camp. And we challenged those pansies to an obstacle course!

''{Cut to the obstacle course, pan across to see Strong Sad and the King of Town stuck in two tire swings.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, should we call it a draw?

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Hecks, no! I got stuck in here 10 minutes before you!

''{Pan across to Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Let's go, Glorten Camp! Glorten Camp is pain and scranin' on yous!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh yeah?

''{cut back to the coffee table}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well while you slo-mos were slounching around on your haunchy laurels, I was checking the most amazing email of my career!

''{Cut through static to Strong Bad, holding the Lappy, on a plane. Screen markers and a recording light are visible, as though viewed through a camcorder. Strong Bad leans in and adjusts the focus.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, Lappy, when I mash record on that camera, we're gonna perform the world's first death-defying midair SBEmail check! We'll make the cover of all the latest blogs! Now, are you psyched?! I'm psyched, are you psyched?!? OK, 3! 2! 1!

''{Strong Bad leans in and presses a button on the camera. Cut through static to Strong Bad standing on the ground. The camera drops to the ground and slowly falls over.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, the believing is hard to be doing, because that was so incredible! We met so many celebrities in midair! And the part with the narwhale was ''so'' illegal.

''{Cut through static to Strong Bad, back at the coffee table}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, cuh-rap! What am I, your dad? I can't believe I pulled the old "mash Stop when you think you're mashing Record and mash Record when you think you're mashing Stop" routine on myself.

'''MARZIPAN:''' But if we've all been on vacation, who's been taking care of the website?

''{Homestar Runner walks in, tired, wearing a dressing gown, a nightcap and Nebulon slippers, with a cinnamon 5 o'clock shadow.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{yawns}'' What's up, my brothers? Let no one say the Homestar Runner don't know how to nap. What is it, like mid-May or something?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, try "early July."

''{Zoom in.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aah! I slept through June!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yup.

''{Zoom in even tighter.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aah! -gatha Christie would never sleep through June... neither would Angela Lansbury.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aren't they the same person?

'''BUBS:''' Yeah.

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Yep.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I think they are.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Yes, they definitely are.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, it's settled then. Now, what's this I hear about some of you guys sleeping through June? I'll let it slide this time, but June-sleepers will not be tolerated from this day henceforth. Now, whose turn was it to ''{rolls the "r"}'' bring the doughnuts?

'''EVERYONE BUT HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yours!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, I'll let it slide this time, but dough-not rememberers will dough-not be tolerated from now on. All right, everybody, everybody. It's time to get this www-dot-show back on the road-dot-com. Now, places! Aaand...
[[Image:Weclome Back everybody.PNG|150px|right|"Everybody, everybody!"]]
''{Cut to everyone standing in regular clothes in front of a plain blue background. The words "everybody, everybody" appear in front of them, zooming and flashing. The music from the [[Intro]] page plays.}''

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Freewheelinsteve.PNG|thumb|The Freewheelin' Eh, Steve]]
* In Homsar's scene, click on the "Steven Inches" sign to see a "The Freewheelin' Eh, Steve" album cover. On the bottom it lists the songs ''Sweet Cups and Cakes'' by Wheelchair Man, ''Eh, Steve's Dream'' by Eh, Steve!, and ''Talkin' Trying to Catch a Worm Blues'' by Fresh Juice.
* During the close-up after King of Town first appears, click on his crown to see his "I'm with Glutton Camp" [[T-shirt]].
* Click on the left "everybody" at the end of the toon to see what Pom Pom and The Poopsmith presumably did during their summer vacation.
:''{Pom Pom and the Poopsmith are both leaning on the palm tree on the deserted island. The Poopsmith is wearing sunglasses, and Pom Pom is wearing Homestar's Dangeresque sunglasses. After a few moments, a thought cloud appears and reveals that Pom Pom is thinking of a baloney sandwich. Another one appears shortly afterwards and shows that the Poopsmith is too.}''

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*This toon refers to the real-life vacation that [[The Brothers Chaps]] took in the late spring/early summer of 2006, during which time the site went nearly seven weeks (48 days) without a major update, the longest hiatus on record. There were various minor updates during this period, but no toons.
*"Toot sweet" is a play on the French phrase ''"tout de suite"'' (which translates to "immediately" or "at once"). Both phrases are pronounced roughly the same.
*The Baloney Truck is a spoof on the [[wikipedia:Ice_cream_truck|Ice Cream Truck/Van]], which is popular in some parts of the world.
*A 7-inch record is a single.

*The [[Cool Tapes]] tour goes through East Westerburg, Beadsburg, Bead Store City, Sculpted Busheston, New Beadshop, Topiarianapolis, Beeeeeds, and Tope Gardens. Other towns on the map are Northtime, Pantsburg, Shoigut, Thuxtable, and The Slickster.
*There are trees in the topiary garden shaped as an ice-cream cone, [[Trogdor]], a tree stump, and [[Wikipedia:William Shakespeare|William Shakespeare]].
*According to the sign on the side of Bubs's [[Baloney Sammich Truck]], he's selling:
**"Gumball Surprise"– A baloney sandwich with a pink gumball on top.
**"Open Smiley Face"– An open baloney sandwich with a smiley face drawn on it in mustard.
**"I Heart Baloney"– A baloney sandwich with heart-shaped bread.
**"Dog Food"– A baloney sandwich with bone-shaped bread.
**"It's Not a Real Popsicle" – A baloney sandwich with Popsicle-shaped bread.
**"Inside Out"– A piece of bread between two slices of baloney.
*In the DVD commentary on Strong Bad Email [[island]], Matt said they should use the island again. In addition to this cartoon, they already reused it in [[disconnected]].

===Remarks===
*[[Wikipedia:Agatha Christie|Agatha Christie]] and [[Wikipedia:Angela Lansbury|Angela Lansbury]] are not, in fact, the same person. Christie was a crime fiction author, and Lansbury is an actress famous for ''playing'' a crime fiction author on ''[[Wikipedia:Murder, She Wrote|Murder, She Wrote]]''. Lansbury ''did'', however, play Christie's fictional sleuth [[Wikipedia:Miss Marple|Miss Marple]] in the movie adaptation of Christie's ''[[Wikipedia:The Mirror Crack'd|The Mirror Crack'd]]''.
*The spelling ''narwhale'' and Strong Bad's pronunciation of it are accepted variants; the more common spelling is ''narwhal''.
*When we see the back of the Lappy, it has none of the connection ports from [[isp]], but it is possible that Strong Bad's glove may be covering them.
*When Cool Tapes plays in the Topiary Garden, no amplifiers are present. Yet, when it closes up on Marzipan in the following shot, two "Marzipan" amplifiers are present behind her.
*In the last scene, The Cheat suddenly appears after Homestar asks whose turn it was to bring the donuts.
*Homestar effectively rolls the "r" when saying "whose turn was it to bring the donuts" despite his speech impediment.
*The minute hand on the time clock is too long to point to 6 or 12.
*At the end, if you look below the "everybody, everybody" words, you will see that The Cheat is floating and not touching the ground.

===Glitches===
*When Marzipan's angry expression is used, blinking causes her outline to be intruded.

===Inside References===
* [[Pants]]burg is one of the [[Strong Bad's Vacation Spots|places Strong Bad visited]] on his [[vacation]], and one of the places (along with Northtime and Shoigut) in [[Limozeen]]'s [[Limozeen#Zeenin' Across the Country 2001|Zeenin' Across the Country tour]].
* Strong Bad's line, "I can't believe I pulled the 'Mash stop when you think you're mashing record, and mash record when you think you're mashing stop' on myself", is a reference to [[Mashing Go|mashing go/play on something]]
* The Atari seagull first appeared in [[huttah!]] and [[take-a-break.exe]].
* Marzipan's [[Cool Tapes]] band comes from [[Cool Things]].
**Marzipan's remark, "Grapes, y'all!", is a reference to the bag of four grapes that appeared in the original lyrics.
* The toon's title contains the word [[Unusual Greetings#Weclome|Weclome]].
* Bubs pronounces "shaped plants" the same way Strong Bad and Teenage Homestar pronounced "striped pants" in [[highschool]].
* One of the places the Cool Tapes band visits is East Westerburg. Westerberg (spelled slightly differently) was visited in [[Thy Dungeonman 3]], and it was to the east of the player's starting location.
* The Poopsmith is wearing what appears to be [[Strong Bad]]'s [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]] sunglasses, and Pom Pom is wearing [[Dangeresque Too]]'s sunglasses.
* In addition to the two ropes attaching the tire swings to the tree at the obstacle course, a third rope hangs from the sky and sways gently, as did the rope featured in [[A Folky Tale]].
* The "Gumball Surprise" is another example of a [[concoction]].
* Homestar's sleeping through June is similar to how he slept through most of Decemberween in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]].
* The Eh! Steve song "Sweet Cups and Cakes" refers to [[Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]], from which he originated.
* "Fresh Juice" (from the Eh! Steve album) is one of the suggested death metal lyrics from the worksheet in [[death metal]].
* Homestar is wearing [[cinnamon]] on his face, and his slippers resemble [[Nebulon]], who first appeared on [[Main Page 1]].
* Marzipan's comment, "Who's been taking care of the website?" is an example of [[Fourth Wall Breaks|breaking the fourth wall]].

===Real-World References===
*The city "The Slickster" (as seen on the Cool Tapes tour map) is a reference to former [[Wikipedia:World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] manager [[Wikipedia:Ken Johnson (wrestling)|Ken Johnson]], whose ring name was Slick and often called "The Slickster" by the commentators.
*The city of "Thuxtable" is a reference to Theo Huxtable, a character on [[Wikipedia:The Cosby Show|The Cosby Show]]. Theo Huxtable was previously referenced in [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]], when Coach Z dressed up like him.
*The design of the Cool Tapes Marzipan amps is based on the design of the classic [[Wikipedia:Marshall Amplification|Marshall Amp]]. It was previously seen in [[different town]]. Marshall is a famous brand of guitar amp that became synonymous with heavy metal and rock bands.
*The page title references the John E. Sebastian song "Welcome Back," which was the theme song from the sitcom ''[[Wikipedia:Welcome Back, Kotter|Welcome Back, Kotter]]'' ("Welcome back / Your dreams were your ticket out...").
*Athletic competitions between summer camps occupying the same campground are common in family movies and cartoons. Some examples include the movies ''[[Wikipedia:Heavyweights|Heavyweights]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:Meatballs (film)|Meatballs]]''.
*The "Freewheelin' Eh! Steve" album cover is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Bob Dylan|Bob Dylan's]] early album, ''[[Wikipedia:The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan|The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan]]''. In addition, "Eh! Steve's Dream" is a reference to the Dylan song ''Bob Dylan's Dream'' and "Talkin' Trying to Catch a Worm Blues" refers to Dylan's song ''Talkin' World War III Blues''.
*Homestar's green ribcage [[Homestar Runner's Sleepwear|shirt]] is a reference to the movie ''[[Wikipedia:This Is Spinal Tap|This Is Spinal Tap]]'', in which [[Wikipedia:Nigel Tufnel|Nigel Tufnel]] wears the same shirt and later remarks "This is what I sleep in sometimes".
**The Eh! Steve song "Sweet Cups and Cakes" is likely a ''This Is Spinal Tap'' reference as well, since "Cups and Cakes" is the name of a Spinal Tap song.
*Strong Mad's violin styled bass bears a resemblance to the [[Wikipedia:Hofner|Hofner]] bass played by [[Wikipedia:Paul McCartney|Paul McCartney]]. However, Strong Mad plays right handed, while Paul is left-handed.
*The sign on the merchandise table that reads "Merch Masala" refers to the 1985 Hindi movie [[Wikipedia:Mirch Masala|Mirch Masala]]. Mirch Masala is also the name of an Indian restaurant in Decatur, Georgia.
*Strong Sad's "I'm with gluten camp" T-shirt is a play on the popular [[Wikipedia:1980s|'80s]] "I'm with stupid" T-shirts.
*[[Wikipedia:Gluten|Gluten]] is a protein that makes up 80% of the protein in wheat.
*Marzipan almost smashing [[Carol]] in the "Cool Tapes" scene is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Pete Townshend|Pete Townshend]]'s habit of smashing his guitars onstage.
*Strong Bad's reference to a narwhale might be an allusion to the game [http://www.spinnerdisc.com/narwhaldiving.html Narwhal Diving].

''{taps the brush he is holding}'' Is this thing broken?

''{fade out}''

''{The [[MixMastah 800]] appears, allowing the user to turn on any combination of effects and alter their audio output. Initially, only Bubs' effect turned on.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*A [[wikipedia:Motorcade|motorcade]] is a procession of cars leading a VIP, usually a political figure, down a main road.

===Trivia===
*The items Bubs grinds into sausages include a [[steak]], a tennis ball, and [[General Tso's Chicken|Chinese food]].

===Remarks===
*Homestar doesn't say "one, two" in time with his walking in some parts.
*The MixMastah 800 has a higher sound quality than the short preceding it, similar to the sound quality in [[An Important Rap Song]] and [[Homestar Presents: Presents]].
*In the MixMastah 800, Homsar's solo is in stereo and switches back and forth from the right channel to the left.
*Pressing any of the MixMastah 800's "ON" buttons will start that scene's sounds in sync with the others. However, pressing the buttons next to Strong Bad starts him singing at the beginning of the chorus or verse immediately, so that his singing doesn't match up with the downbeats unless you're careful about exactly when you push the button.
*Strong Bad in the shower looks a lot like the main page with Homestar in the shower-showercap, tile, etc.
*The toon is only linked on the main page, not in the toons menu.

===Goofs===
[[Image:No_Leg_Strong_Bad!.gif|thumb|No Leg Strong Bad!]]
*At one point, during a cut to Strong Sad and Coach Z, the score on the scoreboard changes from 12 to 2 for a single frame before changing to 13.
**When it is 13, it just barely sticks out of the box.
*In the MixMastah, when Pom Pom is turned on and no one else is, The Poopsmith's effect can be heard in the background.
*In the MixMastah 800, Strong Bad wears a different shower cap than in the toon itself.
*Strong Bad does not have legs when shown on the MixMastah 800.
*Strong Sad pats his belly 20 times, but the scoreboard displays a score of 18 at the end.

===Fixed Goofs===
*When released, this toon had an "Again?" button, but clicking it would cause all the sounds from the MixMastah to continue playing with the replayed toon. This was fixed with the removal of the "Again?" button.

===Inside References===
[[Image:Sketchbook060727.png|thumb|Keep on Trucking!]]
*Homestar Runner's animation is based on a [[Sketchbook 2006#SK-2006-07-27|Weekly Sketchbook]] image, and was previously shown at the [[Georgia Tech - 26 Apr 2007|Georgia Tech talk]]. A [[graffiti]] image of Coach Z seen behind Strong Sad was also from a [[Sketchbook#SK-2007-05-24|Sketchbook]] image.
*The starry backround in the Homsar solo was previously seen in an Easter egg in [[ghosts]].

===Real-World References===
*The way Homestar walks references the iconic [http://www.zubeworld.com/crumbmuseum/truckin.html "Truckin'"] images by [[Wikipedia:Robert Crumb|R. Crumb]].
* The 'Fightin' Coach Z's' logo resembles [[Wikipedia:Notre Dame|Notre Dame]]'s 'Fighting Irish' logo.
*Pom Pom's money throwing is a reference to the "Makin' It Rain" technique employed by rappers.

Talk:more armies

Itama — Wed, 23 May 2007 04:02:23 GMT

Itama: /* Joe Piscopo */ Clarification

==Continuation of "army"?==
Could this email be considered a continuation of the email [[army]] due to how the subject nature is so similar to the said email and how this email is called "more armies"? -- [[User:Bad Graphics Ghost|The BGG]]

== Benedetto!==
Just making sure. Frank Bennedetto was not in this email, but rather a memorial to him. Right? -
[[User:Drsandsattwo|Drsandsattwo]] 20:18, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Uhm... no. Frank was revealed to be alive in Labor Dabor (and sign your name please.) -[[User:Everybody!|Everybody!]] 21:49, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Sorry. What I realize Bennedetto is as alive as a psuedocharacter can be, but that is a memorial rather than the real thing. correct? -
[[user:Drsandsattwo|Drsandsattwo]] 23:38, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

I'd say that the memorial of Bennedetto counts as a character appearance as much as stuffed Strong Bad suplexing a cougar does. {{User:Jeadly/sig}} 16:39, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

== I have made my decission ==

I can do the transcript luckaly say my parents. I can do the transcript. Can I do the transcript again? {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}

:[[User:Has Matt?|Has Matt?]] is {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=more_armies&curid=34763&diff=460758&oldid=460756&rcid=415474 working on it now}}. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 21:54, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

==Not-yet opened STUFF==

The third kid facing certain doom in the Homestarmy refers to military school.

- {{User:Gtxm78/sig}} 21:56, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

I think that, if anything, certain doom refers to the fact that Homestar is a ridiculously inept "commander" and will lead the Homestarmy to certain doom. - [[User:Chupaqueso|Chupaqueso]] 22:01, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

He's more of a "Col-o-nel". -WeatherPerson

==Jumped in?==
What's that mean? Strong Bad said you can send your kid off to join the On Point Kings, but he'll have to be jumped in. Funny, usually by the time I come here, the e-mail page is already done. It's odd to see it so new :). [[User:Kvn8907|Kvn8907]] 22:11, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

: It's the standard gang initiation... urban legends about flashing headlights and assaulting random people in front of Wal-Mart notwithstanding, most gangs simply beat the $*#! out of prospective members to make sure they're tough enough. That's called being "jumped in". [[User:68.13.21.225|68.13.21.225]] 23:22, 21 May 2007 (UTC) (a no-account good for nothing so and so)

==Firebert to Trogdor==
It's possible that The Cheat didn't change Firebert to Trogdor just because his name was awful. I think it's more to do with the popularity of Trogdor and the amount of fan contributions it has spawned.
:Same here. {{User:4kai2lyn6/sig}} 00:10, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
::agreed --[[User:EricTheDerek|EricTheDerek]] 00:20, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
:::I disagree. I think the firebert not being a good commando name was exactly what they had in mind. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:22, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
::::but Trogdor isn't a commando name...is it? --[[User:EricTheDerek|EricTheDerek]] 00:25, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
::::I agree as well... SB may have stated his opinion that Firebert isn't a good commando name in a previous email, but there's no reason to assume that's the reason he's unpopular; the gag would have worked just as well with any of the other commandos. The gag is a commentary on how much more popular Trogdor is than the commandos, not the "quality" of the name. - [[User:Uglinessman|Ugliness Man]] 02:10, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

==Redheaded stepchild?==
Is it possible that "step-headed red-child" is a reference to the phrase "redheaded stepchild," meaning an unfavored child? -[[User:HotBees|HotBees]] 00:01, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
:If that's an actualy saying, then i'd say definately. Incidentally, i've never heard that before. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:03, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
:: I have. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:21, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
:::Me three. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 00:22, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
:::Ditto, I've heard the phrase "gonna beat you like a red-headed step-child", and I've heard a few comedians reference the phrase. And even if it wasn't a common phrase, there'd pretty much be no other explanation for what the heck step-headed red-child is supposed to mean. - [[User:Uglinessman|Ugliness Man]] 02:15, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
::::According to [http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=red-headed+stepchild Urban Dictionary], red-headed stepchild is a synonym for whipping boy. That's how I've always heard it used (eg, my department is the company's red-headed stepchild) and that makes sense in this context. (Be ye warned, oh external link-clickers, Urban Dictionary is NOT a family-friendly website!) [[User:Not Horse Woman|Not Horse Woman]] 00:44, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
::: It's an old saying for suretain. --[[User:Mycroft.holmes|Mycroft Holmes]] 01:19, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

== Umm ==

Is there some kind of arbitrary rule that you don't link the same page twice in a paragraph or something? "which strong bad said was not a good commando name in army" looks wonky without a link or some way to identify "army" as referring to an email and not simply a grammatical miscarriage. -anonymous
:Link once and only once. First instance only. It's not unwritten, it's written.. [[HRWiki:Once And Only Once|place]]... {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:45, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
::I understand the reason for the rule, and I'm not asking for the rule to be relaxed or broken, but there should be some sort of punctuation or format convention (quotes, bold, italics, some combination of 2 or 3) for a case like this. Otherwise, as anonymous pointed out, it just looks like bad grammar. - [[User:Uglinessman|Ugliness Man]] 02:13, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
:::"Once and Only Once" has little to do with this... the rule you're after is [[HRWiki:Standards#Link once|Link once]]. But I agree, things like email names should be linked every time... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 03:07, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
::::You sure 'bout that, Phlip? Email names always linked? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:07, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
:::::It's tough, because if we were doing it correctly, we would probably have all the toons' names italicized. Since we don't, if you use the name of an email/toon but don't link it, it looks strange, like this: "Strong Bad's first email was some kinda robot". Especially the emails, since they're uncapitalized. So, I'm not sure that linking them all the time is the best solution, but we've got to do something to make them stand out, and italicizing them sometimes but not others would be too inconsistent... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 09:12, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
::::::I'd say link all unless doing something major to all of 'em such as italics or quotes. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 17:31, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

== Boond? ==

What does the "Boond You Like?" poster behind Homestar mean? {{User:Einstein runner/sig}} 02:54, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
:From what I understand, it's a portmanteau of "bowl" and "spoon." That still doesn't make sense, though. -[[User:HotBees|HotBees]] 03:00, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
::Maybe something to do with [[Wikipedia:War bond|war bonds]]? {{User:Phlip/sig}} 03:14, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

== Mercenaries ==

The line "Mercenaries are typically known to have bad reputations" was used to explain the point of Strong Bad saying "We do bad stuff". How is this not NPOV? -[[User:Itama|Itama]] 03:29, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
:I took that sentence out, and with NPOV, I meant the part about the missionaries. Without the missionaries bit, I didn't see much relevance in the mercenaries part of the sentence.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 10:13, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

==Poster==

should it be mentioned that the "do you has" poster, though slightly changed, has been used in a down loadable wallpaper?

== He-Man ==
So, someone thought that the Poopsmith's change into the Municipality Soldier was not related to He-Man... I thought the lightning striking the shovel was just like the special magic that changes Prince Adam into Heman... "By the Castle of Grayskull.... I HAVE THE POWER!" I would like to add it back in, but please let me know what you thing.... I think you need to be a He-Man fan to appreciate it... any takers for a debate? [[User:MisteR t|mister t]] 05:06, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
:I see the resemblence, but I think it's a reference to the Marines commercials (especially given the context of the toon). {{User:Trey56/sig}} 05:09, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
::No, I totally thought of He-Man too. The Chaps are notorious for '80s refs. ...I think. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 05:14, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
:::But really. Is this the place for a He-Man reference? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:06, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
::::I'm gonna have to agree with Trey on this one. This is a clear Marine commercial reference. It also makes a lot more sense to be referencing an actual military recruitment commercial (rather than He-Man) at a Vaguely Military Career Fair. [[User:Manolios|Manolios]] 14:07, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
:::::It does seem like a He-Man reference, now that you mention it. Besides, The Poopsmith doesn't almost lose his grip, like in the Marines commercial it seems to be referencing. [[User:Neox|Neox]]
::::::And He-Man... does? The Marines commerical reference is patently true (it says "pooper fi" on his shield). The only reason the scene resembles He-Man at all is because the Marines commercial that it parodies kinda does. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:40, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
:::::::Why is everyone acting as though the Municipality video can only be a reference to one thing and one thing only? Is it not a possibility that it references BOTH the Marines recruitment ads AND He-Man?[[User:71.217.233.97|71.217.233.97]] 20:35, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
::::::::Because when something is clearly a reference to thing A, and kind of sorta resembles or is a stretch to thing B, then it's probably just a reference to think A alone. (It could be considered a variation of [[TTATOT]] that I will call TAOT ("this and only this").) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:40, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

== His left hand? ==

:The Cheat uses the marker with his [[left handedness|left hand]].

I don't want to change this yet just in case it's just my dyslexia, but I'm pretty sure the Cheat is using that marker with his right hand. [[User:Wrath|Wrath]] 13:52, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
:Hmm, true, i corrected the wording, didn't think to look at the fact itself. Okay. DELETED! {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 14:06, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

== Brown Ops ==

I am not 100% on this, but aren't brown ops Navy operations in coastal and riverine areas?

== What? No goofs? ==

Shouldn't there be a goofs section? I noticed that when Strong Bad gets up, you see his reflection emerge from behind the Lappy and his head is behind the fairly tattered Paper.

::I understand the reason for the rule, and I'm not asking for the rule to be relaxed or broken, but there should be some sort of punctuation or format convention (quotes, bold, italics, some combination of 2 or 3) for a case like this. Otherwise, as anonymous pointed out, it just looks like bad grammar. - [[User:Uglinessman|Ugliness Man]] 02:13, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
:::"Once and Only Once" has little to do with this... the rule you're after is [[HRWiki:Standards#Link once|Link once]]. But I agree, things like email names should be linked every time... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 03:07, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

== Boond? ==

What does the "Boond You Like?" poster behind Homestar mean? {{User:Einstein runner/sig}} 02:54, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
:From what I understand, it's a portmanteau of "bowl" and "spoon." That still doesn't make sense, though. -[[User:HotBees|HotBees]] 03:00, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
::Maybe something to do with [[Wikipedia:War bond|war bonds]]? {{User:Phlip/sig}} 03:14, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

== Mercenaries ==

The line "Mercenaries are typically known to have bad reputations" was used to explain the point of Strong Bad saying "We do bad stuff". How is this not NPOV? -[[User:Itama|Itama]] 03:29, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

''{He says "Mr" as "Mere" and says "Hey, I am no mere Strong Bad, okay?!" after reading "Mr Strong Bad".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Look Perthy Paul, I've been over this already: Strong Badia doesn't have/need an army. When we need muscle, we farm it out to our favorite band of shady missionaries, er I mean mercenaries, MERCENARIES! In fact, if your sons are so bonzer to enlist, they can ''{doesn't type}'' just ''{typing}'' swing by their booth at our Vaguely Military Career Fair, which just happens to be starting right now!

''{Cut to a wide shot of The Cheat next to Strong Bad.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, it's not for three weeks. Okay.

''{Cut to a black screen reading "2 weeks later...". Cut to Strong Bad in his basement.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Introducing...

''{Cut to The Cheat on the couch, with a cane, a bowtie, and a top hat reading "Tito". He turns left and right and waves.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...Tito the Tophaticent! And his beautiful assistant,

''{Cut to a wide shot of the basement, revealing Strong Mad standing behind the couch with two basketballs in his singlet. He waves. Silhouettes of Strong Bad and Strong Sad are visible.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Mad with two basketballs shoved down his singlet!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Yaaaay!! ''{claps}''

''{Cut to a black screen reading "1 week later...". Cut to Strong Bad sitting at a booth in the gymnasium, wearing an eyepatch and a taped-on mustache. On the booth is a muffler, a stack of brochures, and a pipe. Coach Z walks by.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Excuse me, Ganglo-Saxon. You look like the type of kid that gets his lunch handed to him daily. Well, if you'd like to be the lunch-handerer ''{raises his glove, revealing a robotic claw taped to it}'' for a change, then boy, do the On Point Kings have a brochure for you!

''{Strong Bad puts the brochure on the table. It has the On Point Kings logo on top of a camoflauge-style background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's a Roman trifold ''{opens brochure}'' printed on 65-pound cardstock.

''{The camera zooms in on the various features of the brochure.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' 14-point Helvetica, laid out using Quark XPress! A ''pirated version'' of Quark XPress!

''{Flips open to another side of the brochure, which shows photos of the On Point Kings in action.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' We specialize in black ops, brown ops, and the occasional beige op.

''{Cut to footage of Strong Badia, where a hopscotch grid has been drawn on the dirt. Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat are there, all wearing fake mustaches. "CLASSIFIED" has been stamped on the screen. The Cheat starts hopping along the squares.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on, The Cheat! Go for sixies! ''Sixies!''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad at the booth.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' How do you ever expect to get an ''{shows off his features as he says them}'' eye patch, mustache, or robotic arm like this— clank, clank— unless you join up with a shady band of missionaries? Oh, crap, I did it again! ''{camera moves away}'' Mercenaries, I meant mercenaries! ''{screen pans right and fades out}'' We do bad stuff!

''{Cut to The King of Town at his booth. He is asleep and snoring while he is fed Giblet Gravy through a mask and tube. There is a TV on his table, as well as a sign reading, "Out to lunch Watch video" and an arrow pointing to the TV. Two posters are on the wall. Cut to the video, which shows a silhouetted The Poopsmith slowly climbing up the King's castle.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{voiceover}'' The drive... the power... the skills... the motivation... the power again...

''{The Poopsmith has reached the top of the castle. He grabs his shovel.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{voiceover}'' The fortitude...

''{The Poopsmith holds the shovel by his side.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{voiceover}'' The strive...

''{The Poopsmith holds the shovel up to the dark, cloudy sky as lightning flashes.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{voiceover}'' The ideals...

''{Lightning strikes the shovel, which gives The Poopsmith dark gloves, a gas mask, a club, and a shield.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{voiceover}'' The list of attributes...

''{Zoom out on The Poopsmith, revealing a black and white poster with five Poopsmiths with the same gear. A King of Town logo is in the center and the words "The Municipality" are at the top.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{voiceover}'' The Municipality. ''{words appear as the King says them}'' Honor. Valor. Buttor.

''{Cut to Homestar Runner's booth. Homestar is wearing an orange bowl on his head and is wielding an orange spoon. The table has the popcorn machine Frank Bennedetto behind a sign reading "Not free popcorn, memorial statue". There are two posters on the wall, one depicting Homestar wearing the same outfit, with the caption "Do You Has?", and another depicting the orange bowl and spoon, with the caption "Boond You Like?"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Say, young man! Say, young man, young man, young man, young man, young man, young man, young man! ''{points at viewer}'' You look like you come from a long line of five bucks-havers. Well, the Homestarmy has a career for ''you'' ''{points}'' in the no-armed forces!

''{Cut to closeup of Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Say, you good at video games? I'm not good at video games. ''{chuckles}'' The last time I fired up one of my old Sega tapes, it made me a waffle. ''{zoom in}'' Say, you like pamphlets? ''{holds up a book of "Game Program Instructions" by Videlectrix}'' Here's a pamphlet! ''{tears book in half}'' Here's two pamphlets!

''{Cut to the original wide shot.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Say, you got a girlfriend? Well, what if your girlfriend was a ''{holds up spoon}'' wooden spoon and an ''{bowl flies off his head}'' orange plastic bowl? ''{lowers eyelids}'' That'd be really weird, man. What kind of screwed-up kid are you? ''{angry}'' We don't recruit your kind! ''{waves spoon}'' Get out of here!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad at the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So that's fair, right Dinkum? You send your coolest son off to join the On Point Kings. He'll have to be jumped in. You send your fat son off to join The Municipality. He'll have to be ''{short pause}'' pooped in. And then you send your step-headed red-child off to certain doom in the Homestarmy. He's gonna wanna be jumped out. Well, I gotta go find the bicycle pump. Tito the Tophaticent's beautiful assistant's looking a little...lopsided.

''{Strong Bad gets up and leaves. [[The Paper]] comes down with an odd, sick-sounding noise; it is crumpled and torn. Strong Bad's head returns from the right side of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh. ''That's'' gotta be a bad sign.

''{Strong Bad leaves again.}''

''{Cut to The King of Town at his booth. He is asleep and snoring while he is fed Giblet Gravy through a tube. There is a TV on his table, as well as a sign reading, "Out to lunch Watch video". Two posters are on the wall. Cut to the video, which shows The Poopsmith slowly climbing up the King's castle.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{voiceover}'' The drive... the power... the skills... the motivation... the power again...

''{The Poopsmith has reached the top of the castle. He grabs his shovel.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{voiceover}'' The fortitude...

''{The Poopsmith holds the shovel by his side.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{voiceover}'' The strive...

''{The Poopsmith holds the shovel up to the dark, cloudy sky as lightning flashes.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{voiceover}'' The ideals...

''{Lightning strikes the shovel, which gives The Poopsmith dark gloves, a gas mask, and a shield.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{voiceover}'' The list of attributes...

''{Zoom out on The Poopsmith, revealing a black and white poster with five Poopsmiths with the same gear. A King of Town logo is in the center and the words "The Municipality" are at the top.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{voiceover}'' The municipality. ''{words appear as the King says them}'' Honor. Valor. Buttor.

''{Cut to Homestar Runner's booth. Homestar is wearing an orange bowl on his head and is wielding an orange spoon. The table has the popcorn machine Frank Bennedetto behind a sign reading "Not free popcorn, memorial statue". There are two posters on the wall, one depicting Homestar wearing the same outfit, with the caption "Do You Has?", and another depicting the orange bowl and spoon, with the caption "Boond You Like?"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Say, young man! Say, young man, young man, young man, young man, young man, young man, young man! ''{points at viewer}'' You look like you come from a long line of five bucks-havers. Well, the Homestarmy has a career for ''you'' ''{points}'' in the no-armed forces!

''{Cut to closeup of Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Say, you good at video games? I'm not good at video games. ''{chuckles}'' The last time I fired up one of my old Sega tapes, it made me a waffle. ''{zoom in}'' Say, you like pamphlets? ''{holds up a book of "Game Program Instructions" by Videlectrix}'' Here's a pamphlet! ''{tears book in half}'' Here's two pamphlets!

''{Cut to the original wide shot.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Say, you got a girlfriend? Well, what if your girlfriend was a ''{holds up spoon}'' wooden spoon and an ''{bowl flies off his head}'' orange plastic bowl? ''{lowers eyelids}'' That'd be really weird, man. What kind of screwed-up kid are you? ''{angry}'' We don't recruit your kind! ''{waves spoon}'' Get out of here!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad at the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So that's fair, right Dinkum? You send your coolest son off to join the On Point Kings. He'll have to be jumped in. You send your fat son off to join The Municipality. He'll have to be ''{short pause}'' pooped in. And then you send your step-headed red child off to certain doom in the Homestarmy. He's gonna wanna be jumped out. Well, I gotta go find the bicycle pump. Tito the Tophaticent's beautiful assistant's looking a little...lopsided.

''{Strong Bad gets up and leaves. [[The Paper]] comes down with an odd, sick-sounding noise; it is crumpled and torn. Strong Bad's head returns from the right side of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh. ''That's'' gotta be a bad sign.

''{Strong Bad leaves again.}''

''{He says "Mr" as "Mere" and says "Hey, I am no mere Strong Bad, okay?!" after reading "Mr Strong Bad".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Look Perthy Paul, I've been over this already: Strong Badia doesn't have/need an army. When we need muscle, we farm it out to our favorite band of shady missionaries, er I mean mercenaries, MERCENARIES! In fact, if your sons are so bonzer to enlist, they can ''{doesn't type}'' just ''{typing}'' swing by their booth at our Vaguely Military Career Fair, which just happens to be starting right now!

''{Cut to a wide shot of The Cheat next to Strong Bad.}''

''{Strong Bad puts the brochure on the table. It has the On Point Kings logo on top of a camoflauge-style background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's a Roman trifold ''{opens brochure}'' printed on 65-pound cardstock.

'''Page Title:''' All your questions....sort of answered!!

==Transcript==
''{Yellow letters reading "Previously on HomestarRunner.com" on a black background zoom out slowly.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{voiceover}'' Previously on HomestarRunner.com... ''{Pronounces "previously" with a short e}''

''{Fade to a scene from [[strong badathlon]], set in the field. Marzipan and Homsar are sitting around a wooden table with a pink and white tea set on it. Faint music and snapping noises can be heard in the background.}''

'''MARZIPAN''': And that's why I believe the DNA evidence had been tampered with.

''{The music continues. Cut to a clip from [[unnatural]] that takes place in Strong Badia. Strong Bad and The Cheat are seen sitting around a yellow table with a red and black tea set on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': And that's when I tampered with the DNA evidence!

''{The music continues. Cut to inside the movie theater, from [[the movies]]. Strong Sad is sitting in a seat next to Pom Pom.}''

'''MOVIE''': ''{voiceover}'' The DNA evidence was gone!

''{The music continues. Cut to an excerpt of [[your funeral]], inside Marzipan's house. Strong Bad's statue of him wrestling a mountain lion is sitting by a couch with Homestar's trench coat and bowler hat hung on it. Homestar is standing in the middle of the room. Marzipan leans her head into the scene}''

'''MARZIPAN''': Did you find the DNA evidence?

''{The music continues. Cut to the office, as seen in [[from work]]. Strong Bad is sitting at his computer. Pom Pom is halfway off the screen. He leaves followed by Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': I'll have that DNA evidence on your desk by five.

''{The music continues. Cut to the Easter Egg from [[rough copy]], inside Marzipan's house. Homestar is sitting on the couch. The lights are off.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': DNA evidence.

''{The music continues. A guitar comes in to the music and begins playing a jazzy tune. Cut to a purple background with "The DNA Evidence" written in block letters. The camera pans down to Strong Sad. Mumbling is heard in the background. Strong Sad has a Easel on his right with "DNA Evidence" written across the top and a diagram of different characters and links between them.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Attention! Your attention please!

''{cut to Homsar with his mouth open on the other side of the room. Homsar gulps and closes his mouth. The mumbling stops. Cut back to Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': After extensive investigation, ''{Raises his right hand and turns his head toward the chart.}'' I'm ready to release my findings. I first spoke with...

''{Cut to Marzipan in her kitchen}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Marzipan. ''{Pronounces it "Marcy-pon"}''

'''MARZIPAN''': Well, it all started several weeks ago.

''{Cut to Marzipan's living room. Marzipan is walking in wearing a toga. There are muddy footprints on the carpet.}''

'''MARZIPAN''': ''{voiceover}'' I came home from my toga-yoga class to find that my house had been broken into and that the culprit had left behind some DNA evidence.

''{As she walks, the couch moves onto the screen. The cushions are disarranged and the "Thank You" picture on the wall is crooked. The muddy prints stop at the couch. Cut to Strong Sad holding a pen and his notebook in Marzipan's kitchen.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': What was it? Hair particles? Skin flakes? Blood crispies?

''{Cut back to toga Marzipan in front of ransacked couch.}

'''MARZIPAN''': ''{voiceover}'' No, it was a little test tube just full of green DNA evidence.

''{As she says this, toga Marzipan pulls out a test tube filled with green liquid from the couch. Cut back to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Oh. Just like in the movies.

''{Cut to front of Marzipan's house, toga Marzipan is walking out holding the test tube.}''

'''MARZIPAN''': ''{voiceover}'' So I immediately took it to Bubs to be analyzed...

''{Cut back to Marzipan in her kitchen}''

'''MARZIPAN''': ...and ''this'' ''{Holds up a tube filled with purple liquid and stamped "TAMPERED WITH".}'' is all I got back.

''{Right scroll to Bubs in the garage.}''

'''BUBS''': Well, it all started a few weeks ago. I just got finished teaching my...

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand. Bubs is walking inside wearing a toga.}

'''BUBS''': ''{voiceover}'' ...toga-yoga class {Bubs takes off toga.} when old-maid Marzipan showed up.

''{Toga Marzipan walks on to the screen.}''

'''MARZIPAN''': Hey, Bubs. Can you analyze this DNA evidence for me?

''{Cut to inside of stand. Bubs is silhouetted on the left.}''

'''BUBS''': Sure thing! But it's gonna cost you an arm and a leg.

'''MARZIPAN''': Not a problem.

''{Marzipan hands over the test tube to Bubs. Cut to Strong Sad in the garage.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': So, what did you find out when you analyzed it?

''{Cut back to Bubs}''

'''BUBS''': Oh, ''that''. Well, next thing I know...

''{Cut to inside of stand with silhouette}''

'''BUBS''': ''{voiceover}'' ...Strong Bad shows up.

''{Strong Bad pops up from under the counter.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Hey, Bubs. One green apple snow cone please.

'''BUBS''': Coming right up!

''{Bubs moves out of view. Cut to shelf with four push-spout jars labeled "Red", "Purple", "Green Apple", and "Blue". All contain various levels of said color liquid, except for the "Green Apple", which has a hole in the bottom. Some soft music begins to play. Scene zooms out slowly.}''

'''BUBS''': Ooh. Er.

''{Cut to bubs holding a plain snow cone in one hand and the evidence in the other.}''

'''BUBS''': Uh. ''{Looks at snow cone.}'' Blaaaah. ''{Looks at evidence.}''

''{Bubs pours the evidence over the snow cone. Music stops. Cut to outside of stand}''

'''BUBS''': Here ya go. One... ''{turns head to the side}'' Cough, cough... Green apple snow cone.

''{Bubs hands the cone over to Strong Bad. Cut to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''': You served the DNA in a snow cone?!

'''BUBS''': And it sold like hotcake.

''{Bottom scroll to the smoky office. Strong Bad is sitting at the desk leaning back in his chair. He has the cool shades on, and there is a lit cigarette in the ash tray on the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Yeah, I bought the DNA snow cone.

''{Cut to Strong Sad in the smoky office, still holding pad and pen.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': You ''knew'' it had the DNA evidence in it?!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Well, yeah.

''{Cut to side of Bubs' Concession Stand. Strong Bad is standing there wearing his shades. Marzipan walks up wearing a toga.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' I overheard that Marzipan had some DNA evidence, and I figured I could use it to continue my genetic experiments on The Cheat.

''{Strong Bad jumps off toward the back of the stand. Cut to shelf with snow cone flavoring. Green Apple is relatively full.}

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' So I sprung into action.

''{Strong Bad punctures the bottom of the Green Apple container with a pencil. The liquid pours out. cut to inside view. Soft music starts again.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Bubs-keep, one green-app snoke, on the rocks. And keep it rusty.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad in office.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': By the time I got home, it was all melted.

''{Cut to computer room. Strong Bad walks in from the right, still wearing the shades and carrying a glass of green liquid.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' So I put it in a glass on my desk and went downstairs to do one of my high-impact toga-yoga videos.

''{Cut back to office}''

'''STRONG BAD''': And that's the last I saw of it.

''{Cut to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''': You left it on your desk, eh?

''{Right scroll to Homestar in his living room.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Yeah, I swung by Strong Bad's during the day. ''{Frowns}'' The old lady had me out looking for some kind of ''{Brightens up}'' Dan evidence.

''{Cut to computer room. Glass is still on the desk. Homestar walks on from the right, wearing a hat and trenchcoat.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Strong Bad! I'm wearing a hat and trenchcoat! ''{Notices the glass}'' Ooh! A tall, cool glass of Mountain Dwa.

''{Cut to close-up}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Don't mind if I dwa! ''{He drinks the evidence.}'' Glug, glug, glug.

''{After a short pause, Homestar spits it out. Cut to dripping The Cheat.}''

'''THE CHEAT''': ''{Angry The Cheat noises.}''

''{Cut back to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Oh, sorry, The Cheat. That stuff tasted like dwa-dwa.

''{Cut back to The Cheat wiping himself off with a white towel.}''

'''THE CHEAT''': ''{The Cheat noises.}''

''{Cut to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''': So he wiped his face off with a gross towel, eh?

''{Right scroll to Coach Z in the locker room.}''

'''COACH Z''': You figured it out, Strong Sad! My cover is blown! I am actually ''{Pats his chest. Heroic halo appears briefly around him, accompanied by a sound effect.}'' Damp Towel Man! ''{Raises hand to his mouth}'' And also his mild-mannered alter-ego, Dan Towelman.

''{Cut to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Coach Z, no one's ever heard of those people.

''{Cut to Coach Z}''

'''COACH Z''': Damp Towel Man is a super hero. He collects damp towels from across the galaxy.

''{Cut to computer room, where a now green-spotted towel rests on the desk. Coach Z comes on from the left wearing a black mask and a towel tied on like a cape.}''

'''COACH Z''': Moist Molecules! A green-stained damp towel! The rarest and most powerful kind.

''{Cut to the office. A janitorial cart rolls onto the screen from the left.}''

'''COACH Z''': ''{voiceover}'' So I took the towel to work the next day to see if it could clean up microwave lasagna stains.

''{Coach Z walks by with a vacuum cleaner. Homestar shuffles by from the left, muttering to himself.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Stupid DNA evi''dence''! Where am I supposed to find evi''dence'' by five o' clock?

''{Cut back to Coach Z in the locker room}''

'''COACH Z''': But when I got back to my cart, it was gone! I suspect it was my nemesis, Dry Ragamuffin! Or his mild-mannered alter-ego, Dreyfus Ragámoofin. ''{Pronounced "rah-GAH-moo-fin}''

''{Cut back to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''' Coach Z, you have a real sucky imagination.

''{Cut back to Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z''': That I do, my boy, that I do. Though I ''did'' notice that...

''{Cut to the office, close up of muddy boots. Strong Bad can be seen on the right sitting at his desk. Coach Z's vacuum is moving back and forth. Scene zooms in slowly.}''

'''COACH Z''': ''{voiceover}'' ...Strong Bad had some muddy boots sitting under his cyorbicle.

''{cut back to Coach Z in locker room.}''

'''COACH Z''': I didn't find that at ''all'' suspicious.

''{Bottom scroll to the smoky office.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': First of all, those were ''not'' muddy. I'd been stomping around in pecan pie all morning. Marzipan's allergic to pecans, you know.

''{Cut to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''': So it was ''your'' DNA evidence.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Uhh, no. It was yours.

''{Cut to Strong Sad, whose eyes are now bugging out.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ''Whaaaaaat?!''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Yeah, I was just swiping the change from...

''{Cut to Marzipan's living room, Strong Bad has the test tube in the back of his pants, and is on the couch, pulling coins from it.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ...Marzipan's couch cushions. And I must've accidentally dropped it.

''{The test tube falls out of Strong Bad's pants and lands on the couch. Cut back to Strong Bad in smoky office.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Man, I was ''{Holds up hand with thumb close to the main part of the glove.}'' ''this'' close to finding out if you're really part elephant or part hippo or something.

''{Cut to angry Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''': I am ''not''!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Well, now I guess we'll never know for sure. Now if you'll excuse me. ''{Music starts}'' The stairs of this building have been burned down by termites. So it looks like I'm gonna have to jump!

''{Strong Bad jumps off the screen. Fade to black. Fade in to close-up of the bottom of Strong Sad's bed. Strong Sad pulls a box from underneath it. The box contains a picture frame, a red birthday card with a drawing of Strong Bad on it, a roll of film, a snow globe, and a corked test tube of green liquid. Strong Sad grabs the test tube. Cut to close-up of Strong Sad smiling.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Yes. The world will ''never'' know for sure. Oh-ho-ho-ho...

''{Cut closer}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ...Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho...

''{Cut closer and angled}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ...Ooh-hoo-ho-ho-ho-ho...

''{Cut even closer}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ...Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha...

''{Cut to Strong Bad stealing change from Marzipan's couch. Pan left to see Strong Sad peeking through the window}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ''{voiceover}'' ...Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo...

''{Cut to Marzipan giving the test tube to Bubs. Pan up to see Strong Sad on the roof.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ''{voiceover}'' ...Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha Ah-ha-ha-ha...

''{Cut to Coach Z's cart. Strong Sad comes up from behind it and reaches for the towel.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ''{voiceover}'' ...Hah-ha-ha-ha-ha...

''{Cut back to Strong Sad standing in his room, holding the test tube.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ''{voiceover}'' ...Woo-ho-ho-ho...

''{Cut to wide angle view with Homsar standing next to Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ...Ah-ha-ha-ha Woo-ha-ha—

''{Record screech. Strong Sad looks down and finally notices Homsar there.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Oh. Hi. You're not gonna say anything, are you?

''{Cut to close-up of Homsar}''

'''HOMSAR''': DaAaAa, these Easter pants are getting ''way'' too tight. ''{His hat flies off his head on "pants", slides backwards on "way", and performs a backflip off his mouth on "too tight".}''

''{Two ascending notes play, accompanied by the screen turning black except for a small circle around Homsar's eyes. Fade to black. "THE END" appears on a purple background in block letters, zooming out slowly.}''

'''Page Title:''' All your questions....sort of answered!!

==Transcript==
''{Yellow letters reading "Previously on HomestarRunner.com" on a black background zoom out slowly.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{voiceover}'' Previously on HomestarRunner.com... ''{Pronounces "previously" with a short e}''

''{Fade to a scene from [[strong badathlon]], set in the field. Marzipan and Homsar are sitting around a wooden table with a pink and white tea set on it. Faint music and snapping noises can be heard in the background.}''

'''MARZIPAN''': And that's why I believe the DNA evidence had been tampered with.

''{The music continues. Cut to a clip from [[unnatural]] that takes place in Strong Badia. Strong Bad and The Cheat are seen sitting around a yellow table with a red and black tea set on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': And that's when I tampered with the DNA evidence!

''{The music continues. Cut to inside the movie theater, from [[the movies]]. Strong Sad is sitting in a seat next to Pom Pom.}''

'''MOVIE''': ''{voiceover}'' The DNA evidence was gone!

''{The music continues. Cut to an excerpt of [[your funeral]], inside Marzipan's house. Strong Bad's statue of him wrestling a mountain lion is sitting by a couch with Homestar's trench coat and bowler hat hung on it. Homestar is standing in the middle of the room. Marzipan leans her head into the scene}''

'''MARZIPAN''': Did you find the DNA evidence?

''{The music continues. Cut to the office, as seen in [[from work]]. Strong Bad is sitting at his computer. Pom Pom is halfway off the screen. He leaves followed by Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': I'll have that DNA evidence on your desk by five.

''{The music continues. Cut to the Easter Egg from [[rough copy]], inside Marzipan's house. Homestar is sitting on the couch. The lights are off.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': DNA evidence.

''{The music continues. A guitar comes in to the music and begins playing a jazzy tune. Cut to a purple background with "The DNA Evidence" written in block letters. The camera pans down to Strong Sad. Mumbling is heard in the background. Strong Sad has a Easel on his right with "DNA Evidence" written across the top and a diagram of different characters and links between them.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Attention! Your attention please!

''{cut to Homsar with his mouth open on the other side of the room. Homsar gulps and closes his mouth. The mumbling stops. Cut back to Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': After extensive investigation, ''{Raises his right hand and turns his head toward the chart.}'' I'm ready to release my findings. I first spoke with...

''{Cut to Marzipan in her kitchen}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Marzipan. ''{Pronounces it "Marcy-pon"}''

'''MARZIPAN''': Well, it all started several weeks ago.

''{Cut to Marzipan's living room. Marzipan is walking in wearing a toga. There are muddy footprints on the carpet.}''

'''MARZIPAN''': ''{voiceover}'' I came home from my toga-yoga class to find that my house had been broken into and that the culprit had left behind some DNA evidence.

''{As she walks, the couch moves onto the screen. The cushions are disarranged and the "Thank You" picture on the wall is crooked. The muddy prints stop at the couch. Cut to Strong Sad holding a pen and his notebook in Marzipan's kitchen.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': What was it? Hair particles? Skin flakes? Blood crispies?

''{Cut back to toga Marzipan in front of ransacked couch.}

'''MARZIPAN''': ''{voiceover}'' No, it was a little test tube just full of green DNA evidence.

''{As she says this, toga Marzipan pulls out a test tube filled with green liquid from the couch. Cut back to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Oh. Just like in the movies.

''{Cut to front of Marzipan's house, toga Marzipan is walking out holding the test tube.}''

'''MARZIPAN''': ''{voiceover}'' So I immediately took it to Bubs to be analyzed...

''{Cut back to Marzipan in her kitchen}''

'''MARZIPAN''': ...and ''this'' ''{Holds up a tube filled with purple liquid and stamped "TAMPERED WITH".}'' is all I got back.

''{Right scroll to Bubs in the garage.}''

'''BUBS''': Well, it all started a few weeks ago. I just got finished teaching my...

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand. Bubs is walking inside wearing a toga.}

'''BUBS''': ''{voiceover}'' ...toga-yoga class {Bubs takes off toga.} when old-maid Marzipan showed up.

''{Toga Marzipan walks on to the screen.}''

'''MARZIPAN''': Hey, Bubs. Can you analyze this DNA evidence for me?

''{Cut to inside of stand. Bubs is silhouetted on the left.}''

'''BUBS''': Sure thing! But it's gonna cost you an arm and a leg.

'''MARZIPAN''': Not a problem.

''{Marzipan hands over the test tube to Bubs. Cut to Strong Sad in the garage.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': So, what did you find out when you analyzed it?

''{Cut back to Bubs}''

'''BUBS''': Oh, ''that''. Well, next thing I know...

''{Cut to inside of stand with silhouette}''

'''BUBS''': ''{voiceover}'' ...Strong Bad shows up.

''{Strong Bad pops up from under the counter.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Hey, Bubs. One green apple snow cone please.

'''BUBS''': Coming right up!

''{Bubs moves out of view. Cut to shelf with four push-spout jars labeled "Red", "Purple", "Green Apple", and "Blue". All contain various levels of said color liquid, except for the "Green Apple", which has a hole in the bottom. Some soft music begins to play. Scene zooms out slowly.}''

'''BUBS''': Ooh. Er.

''{Cut to bubs holding a plain snow cone in one hand and the evidence in the other.}''

'''BUBS''': Uh. ''{Looks at snow cone.}'' Blaaaah. ''{Looks at evidence.}''

''{Bubs pours the evidence over the snow cone. Music stops. Cut to outside of stand}''

'''BUBS''': Here ya go. One... ''{turns head to the side}'' Cough, cough... Green apple snow cone.

''{Bubs hands the cone over to Strong Bad. Cut to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''': You served the DNA in a snow cone?!

'''BUBS''': And it sold like hotcake.

''{Bottom scroll to the smoky office. Strong Bad is sitting at the desk leaning back in his chair. He has the cool shades on, and there is a lit cigarette in the ash tray on the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Yeah, I bought the DNA snow cone.

''{Cut to Strong Sad in the smoky office, still holding pad and pen.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': You ''knew'' it had the DNA evidence in it?!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Well, yeah.

''{Cut to side of Bubs' Concession Stand. Strong Bad is standing there wearing his shades. Marzipan walks up wearing a toga.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' I overheard that Marzipan had some DNA evidence, and I figured I could use it to continue my genetic experiments on The Cheat.

''{Strong Bad jumps off toward the back of the stand. Cut to shelf with snow cone flavoring. Green Apple is relatively full.}

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' So I sprung into action.

''{Strong Bad punctures the bottom of the Green Apple container with a pencil. The liquid pours out. cut to inside view. Soft music starts again.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Bubs-keep, one green-app snoke, on the rocks. And keep it rusty.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad in office.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': By the time I got home, it was all melted.

''{Cut to computer room. Strong Bad walks in from the right, still wearing the shades and carrying a glass of green liquid.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' So I put it in a glass on my desk and went downstairs to do one of my high-impact toga-yoga videos.

''{Cut back to office}''

'''STRONG BAD''': And that's the last I saw of it.

''{Cut to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''': You left it on your desk, eh?

''{Right scroll to Homestar in his living room.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Yeah, I swung by Strong Bad's during the day. ''{Frowns}'' The old lady had me out looking for some kind of ''{Brightens up}'' Dan evidence.

''{Cut to computer room. Glass is still on the desk. Homestar walks on from the right, wearing a hat and trenchcoat.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Strong Bad! I'm wearing a hat and trenchcoat! ''{Notices the glass}'' Ooh! A tall, cool glass of Mountain Dwa.

''{Cut to close-up}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Don't mind if I dwa! ''{He drinks the evidence.}'' Glug, glug, glug.

''{After a short pause, Homestar spits it out. Cut to dripping The Cheat.}''

'''THE CHEAT''': ''{Angry The Cheat noises.}''

''{Cut back to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Oh, sorry, The Cheat. That stuff tasted like dwa-dwa.

''{Cut back to The Cheat wiping himself off with a white towel.}''

'''THE CHEAT''': ''{The Cheat noises.}''

''{Cut to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''': So he wiped his face off with a gross towel, eh?

''{Right scroll to Coach Z in the locker room.}''

'''COACH Z''': You figured it out, Strong Sad! My cover is blown! I am actually ''{Pats his chest. Heroic halo appears briefly around him, accompanied by a sound effect.}'' Damp Towel Man! ''{Raises hand to his mouth}'' And also his mild-mannered alter-ego, Dan Towelman.

''{Cut to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Coach Z, no one's ever heard of those people.

''{Cut to Coach Z}''

'''COACH Z''': Damp Towel Man is a super hero. He collects damp towels from across the galaxy.

''{Cut to computer room, where a now green-spotted towel rests on the desk. Coach Z comes on from the left wearing a black mask and a towel tied on like a cape.}''

'''COACH Z''': Moist Molecules! A green-stained damp towel! The rarest and most powerful kind.

''{Cut to the office. A janitorial cart rolls onto the screen from the left.}''

'''COACH Z''': ''{voiceover}'' So I took the towel to work the next day to see if it could clean up microwave lasagna stains.

''{Coach Z walks by with a vacuum cleaner. Homestar shuffles by from the left, muttering to himself.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Stupid DNA evi''dence''! Where am I supposed to find evi''dence'' by five o' clock?

''{Cut back to Coach Z in the locker room}''

'''COACH Z''': But when I got back to my cart, it was gone! I suspect it was my nemesis, Dry Ragamuffin! Or his mild-mannered alter-ego, Dreyfus Ragámoofin. ''{Pronounced "rah-GAH-moo-fin}''

''{Cut back to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''' Coach Z, you have a real sucky imagination.

''{Cut back to Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z''': That I do, my boy, that I do. Though I ''did'' notice that...

''{Cut to the office, close up of muddy boots. Strong Bad can be seen on the right sitting at his desk. Coach Z's vacuum is moving back and forth. Scene zooms in slowly.}''

'''COACH Z''': ''{voiceover}'' ...Strong Bad had some muddy boots sitting under his cyorbicle.

''{cut back to Coach Z in locker room.}''

'''COACH Z''': I didn't find that at ''all'' suspicious.

''{Bottom scroll to the smoky office.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ...Marzipan's couch cushions. And I must've accidentally dropped it.

''{The test tube falls out of Strong Bad's pants and lands on the couch. Cut back to Strong Bad in smoky office.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Man, I was ''{Holds up hand with thumb close to the main part of the glove.}'' ''this'' close to finding out if you're really part elephant or part hippo or something.

''{Cut to angry Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''': I am ''not''!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Well, now I guess we'll never know for sure. Now if you'll excuse me. ''{Music starts}'' The stairs of this building have been burned down by termites. So it looks like I'm gonna have to jump!

''{Strong Bad jumps off the screen. Fade to black. Fade in to close-up of the bottom of Strong Sad's bed. Strong Sad pulls a box from underneath it. The box contains a picture frame, a red birthday card with a drawing of Strong Bad on it, a roll of film, a snow globe, and a corked test tube of green liquid. Strong Sad grabs the test tube. Cut to close-up of Strong Sad smiling.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Yes. The world will ''never'' know for sure. Oh-ho-ho-ho...

''{Cut closer}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ...Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho...

''{Cut closer and angled}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ...Ooh-hoo-ho-ho-ho-ho...

'''STRONG SAD''': ''{voiceover}'' ...Woo-ho-ho-ho...

'''STRONG SAD''': ...Ah-ha-ha-ha Woo-ha-ha—

''{Record screech. Strong Sad looks down and finally notices Homsar there.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Oh. Hi. You're not gonna say anything, are you?

''{Cut to close-up of Homsar}''

'''HOMSAR''': DaAaAa, these Easter pants are getting ''way'' too tight. ''{His hat flies off his head on "pants", slides backwards on "way", and performs a backflip off his mouth on "too tight".}''

''{Two ascending notes play, accompanied by the screen turning black except for a small circle around Homsar's eyes. Fade to black. "THE END" appears on a purple background in block letters, zooming out slowly.}''

'''Page Title:''' All your questions....sort of answered!!

==Transcript==
''{Yellow letters reading "Previously on HomestarRunner.com" on a black background zoom out slowly.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{voiceover}'' Previously on HomestarRunner.com... ''{Pronounces "previously" with a short e}''

''{Fade to a scene from [[strong badathlon]], set in the field. Marzipan and Homsar are sitting around a wooden table with a pink and white tea set on it. Faint music and snapping noises can be heard in the background.}''

'''MARZIPAN''': And that's why I believe the DNA evidence had been tampered with.

''{The music continues. Cut to a clip from [[unnatural]] that takes place in Strong Badia. Strong Bad and The Cheat are seen sitting around a yellow table with a red and black tea set on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': And that's when I tampered with the DNA evidence!

''{The music continues. Cut to inside the movie theater, from [[the movies]]. Strong Sad is sitting in a seat next to Pom Pom.}''

'''MOVIE''': ''{voiceover}'' The DNA evidence was gone!

''{The music continues. Cut to an excerpt of [[your funeral]], inside Marzipan's house. Strong Bad's statue of him wrestling a mountain lion is sitting by a couch with Homestar's trench coat and bowler hat hung on it. Homestar is standing in the middle of the room. Marzipan leans her head into the scene}''

'''MARZIPAN''': Did you find the DNA evidence?

''{The music continues. Cut to the office, as seen in [[from work]]. Strong Bad is sitting at his computer. Pom Pom is halfway off the screen. He leaves followed by Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': I'll have that DNA evidence on your desk by five.

''{The music continues. Cut to the Easter Egg from [[rough copy]], inside Marzipan's house. Homestar is sitting on the couch. The lights are off.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': DNA evidence.

''{The music continues. A guitar comes in to the music and begins playing a jazzy tune. Cut to a purple background with "The DNA Evidence" written in block letters. The camera pans down to Strong Sad. Mumbling is heard in the background. Strong Sad has a Easel on his right with "DNA Evidence" written across the top and a diagram of different characters and links between them.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Attention! Your attention please!

''{cut to Homsar with his mouth open on the other side of the room. Homsar gulps and closes his mouth. The mumbling stops. Cut back to Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': After extensive investigation, ''{Raises his right hand and turns his head toward the chart.}'' I'm ready to release my findings. I first spoke with...

''{Cut to Marzipan in her kitchen}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Marzipan. ''{Pronounces it "Marcy-pon"}''

'''MARZIPAN''': Well, it all started several weeks ago.

''{Cut to Marzipan's living room. Marzipan is walking in wearing a toga. There are muddy footprints on the carpet.}''

'''MARZIPAN''': ''{voiceover}'' I came home from my toga-yoga class to find that my house had been broken into and that the culprit had left behind some DNA evidence.

''{As she walks, the couch moves onto the screen. The cushions are disarranged and the "Thank You" picture on the wall is crooked. The muddy prints stop at the couch. Cut to Strong Sad holding a pen and his notebook in Marzipan's kitchen.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': What was it? Hair particles? Skin flakes? Blood crispies?

''{Cut back to toga Marzipan in front of ransacked couch.}

'''MARZIPAN''': ''{voiceover}'' No, it was a little test tube just full of green DNA evidence.

''{As she says this, toga Marzipan pulls out a test tube filled with green liquid from the couch. Cut back to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Oh. Just like in the movies.

''{Cut to front of Marzipan's house, toga Marzipan is walking out holding the test tube.}''

'''MARZIPAN''': ''{voiceover}'' So I immediately took it to Bubs to be analyzed...

''{Cut back to Marzipan in her kitchen}''

'''MARZIPAN''': ...and ''this'' ''{Holds up a tube filled with purple liquid and stamped "TAMPERED WITH".}'' is all I got back.

''{Right scroll to Bubs in the garage.}''

'''BUBS''': Well, it all started a few weeks ago. I just got finished teaching my...

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand. Bubs is walking inside wearing a toga.}

'''BUBS''': ''{voiceover}'' ...toga-yoga class {Bubs takes off toga.} when old-maid Marzipan showed up.

''{Toga Marzipan walks on to the screen.}''

'''MARZIPAN''': Hey, Bubs. Can you analyze this DNA evidence for me?

''{Cut to inside of stand. Bubs is silhouetted on the left.}''

'''BUBS''': Sure thing! But it's gonna cost you an arm and a leg.

'''MARZIPAN''': Not a problem.

''{Marzipan hands over the test tube to Bubs. Cut to Strong Sad in the garage.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': So, what did you find out when you analyzed it?

''{Cut back to Bubs}''

'''BUBS''': Oh, ''that''. Well, next thing I know...

''{Cut to inside of stand with silhouette}''

'''BUBS''': ''{voiceover}'' ...Strong Bad shows up.

''{Strong Bad pops up from under the counter.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Hey, Bubs. One green apple snow cone please.

'''BUBS''': Coming right up!

''{Bubs moves out of view. Cut to shelf with four push-spout jars labeled "Red", "Purple", "Green Apple", and "Blue". All contain various levels of said color liquid, except for the "Green Apple", which has a hole in the bottom. Some soft music begins to play. Scene zooms out slowly.}''

'''BUBS''': Ooh. Er.

''{Cut to bubs holding a plain snow cone in one hand and the evidence in the other.}''

'''BUBS''': Uh. ''{Looks at snow cone.}'' Blaaaah. ''{Looks at evidence.}''

''{Bubs pours the evidence over the snow cone. Music stops. Cut to outside of stand}''

'''BUBS''': Here ya go. One... ''{turns head to the side}'' Cough, cough... Green apple snow cone.

''{Bubs hands the cone over to Strong Bad. Cut to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''': You served the DNA in a snow cone?!

'''BUBS''': And it sold like hotcake.

''{Bottom scroll to the smoky office. Strong Bad is sitting at the desk leaning back in his chair. He has the cool shades on, and there is a lit cigarette in the ash tray on the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Yeah, I bought the DNA snow cone.

''{Cut to Strong Sad in the smoky office, still holding pad and pen.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': You ''knew'' it had the DNA evidence in it?!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Well, yeah.

''{Cut to side of Bubs' Concession Stand. Strong Bad is standing there wearing his shades. Marzipan walks up wearing a toga.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' I overheard that Marzipan had some DNA evidence, and I figured I could use it to continue my genetic experiments on The Cheat.

''{Strong Bad jumps off toward the back of the stand. Cut to shelf with snow cone flavoring. Green Apple is relatively full.}

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' So I sprung into action.

''{Strong Bad punctures the bottom of the Green Apple container with a pencil. The liquid pours out. cut to inside view. Soft music starts again.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Bubs-keep, one green-app snoke, on the rocks. And keep it rusty.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad in office.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': By the time I got home, it was all melted.

''{Cut to computer room. Strong Bad walks in from the right, still wearing the shades and carrying a glass of green liquid.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' So I put it in a glass on my desk and went downstairs to do one of my high-impact toga-yoga videos.

''{Cut back to office}''

'''STRONG BAD''': And that's the last I saw of it.

''{Cut to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''': You left it on your desk, eh?

''{Right scroll to Homestar in his living room.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Yeah, I swung by Strong Bad's during the day. ''{Frowns}'' The old lady had me out looking for some kind of ''{Brightens up}'' Dan evidence.

''{Cut to computer room. Glass is still on the desk. Homestar walks on from the right, wearing a hat and trenchcoat.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Strong Bad! I'm wearing a hat and trenchcoat! ''{Notices the glass}'' Ooh! A tall, cool glass of Mountain Dwa.

''{Cut to close-up}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Don't mind if I dwa! ''{He drinks the evidence.}'' Glug, glug, glug.

''{After a short pause, Homestar spits it out. Cut to dripping The Cheat.}''

'''THE CHEAT''': ''{Angry The Cheat noises.}''

''{Cut back to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Oh, sorry, The Cheat. That stuff tasted like dwa-dwa.

''{Cut back to The Cheat wiping himself off with a white towel.}''

'''THE CHEAT''': ''{The Cheat noises.}''

''{Cut to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''': So he wiped his face off with a gross towel, eh?

''{Right scroll to Coach Z in the locker room.}''

'''COACH Z''': You figured it out, Strong Sad! My cover is blown! I am actually ''{Pats his chest. Heroic halo appears briefly around him, accompanied by a sound effect.}'' Damp Towel Man! ''{Raises hand to his mouth}'' And also his mild-mannered alter-ego, Dan Towelman.

''{Cut to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Coach Z, no one's ever heard of those people.

''{Cut to Coach Z}''

'''COACH Z''': Damp Towel Man is a super hero. He collects damp towels from across the galaxy.

''{Cut to computer room, where a now green-spotted towel rests on the desk. Coach Z comes on from the left wearing a black mask and a towel tied on like a cape.}''

'''COACH Z''': Moist Molecules! A green-stained damp towel! The rarest and most powerful kind.

''{Cut to the office. A janitorial cart rolls onto the screen from the left.}''

'''COACH Z''': ''{voiceover}'' So I took the towel to work the next day to see if it could clean up microwave lasagna stains.

''{Coach Z walks by with a vacuum cleaner. Homestar shuffles by from the left, muttering to himself.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Stupid DNA evi''dence''! Where am I supposed to find evi''dence'' by five o' clock?

''{Cut back to Coach Z in the locker room}''

'''COACH Z''': But when I got back to my cart, it was gone! I suspect it was my nemesis, Dry Ragamuffin! Or his mild-mannered alter-ego, Dreyfus Ragámoofin. ''{Pronounced "rah-GAH-moo-fin}''

''{Cut back to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''' Coach Z, you have a real sucky imagination.

''{Cut back to Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z''': That I do, my boy, that I do. Though I ''did'' notice that...

''{Cut to the office, close up of muddy boots. Strong Bad can be seen on the right sitting at his desk. Coach Z's vacuum is moving back and forth. Scene zooms in slowly.}''

'''COACH Z''': ''{voiceover}'' ...Strong Bad had some muddy boots sitting under his cyorbicle.

''{cut back to Coach Z in locker room.}''

'''COACH Z''': I didn't find that at ''all'' suspicious.

''{Bottom scroll to the smoky office.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': First of all, those were ''not'' muddy. I'd been stomping around in pecan pie all morning. Marzipan's allergic to pecans, you know.

''{Cut to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''': So it was ''your'' DNA evidence.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Uhh, no. It was yours.

''{Cut to Strong Sad, whose eyes are now bugging out.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ''Whaaaaaat?!''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Yeah, I was just swiping the change from...

''{Cut to Marzipan's living room, Strong Bad has the test tube in the back of his pants, and is on the couch, pulling coins from it.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ...Marzipan's couch cushions. And I must've accidentally dropped it.

''{The test tube falls out of Strong Bad's pants and lands on the couch. Cut back to Strong Bad in smoky office.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Man, I was ''{Holds up hand with thumb close to the main part of the glove.}'' ''this'' close to finding out if you're really part elephant or part hippo or something.

''{Cut to angry Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''': I am ''not''!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Well, now I guess we'll never know for sure. Now if you'll excuse me. ''{Music starts}'' The stairs of this building have been burned down by termites. So it looks like I'm gonna have to jump!

''{Strong Bad jumps off the screen. Fade to black. Fade in to close-up of the bottom of Strong Sad's bed. Strong Sad pulls a box from underneath it. The box contains a picture frame, a red birthday card with a drawing of Strong Bad on it, a roll of film, a snow globe, and a corked test tube of green liquid. Strong Sad grabs the test tube. Cut to close-up of Strong Sad smiling.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Yes. The world will ''never'' know for sure. Oh-ho-ho-ho...

''{Cut closer}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ...Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho...

''{Cut closer and angled}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ...Ooh-hoo-ho-ho-ho-ho...

''{Cut even closer}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ...Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha...

''{Cut to Strong Bad stealing change from Marzipan's couch. Pan left to see Strong Sad peeking through the window}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ''{voiceover}'' ...Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo...

''{Cut to Marzipan giving the test tube to Bubs. Pan up to see Strong Sad on the roof.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ''{voiceover}'' ...Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha Ah-ha-ha-ha...

''{Cut to Coach Z's cart. Strong Sad comes up from behind it and reaches for the towel.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ''{voiceover}'' ...Hah-ha-ha-ha-ha...

''{Cut back to Strong Sad standing in his room, holding the test tube.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ''{voiceover}'' ...Woo-ho-ho-ho...

''{Cut to wide angle view with Homsar standing next to Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ...Ah-ha-ha-ha Woo-ha-ha—

''{Record screech. Strong Sad looks down and finally notices Homsar there.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Oh. Hi. You're not gonna say anything, are you?

''{Cut to close-up of Homsar}''

'''HOMSAR''': DaAaAa, these Easter pants are getting ''way'' too tight. ''{His hat flies off his head on "pants", slides backwards on "way", and performs a backflip off his mouth on "too tight".}''

''{Two ascending notes play, accompanied by the screen turning black except for a small circle around Homsar's eyes. Fade to black. "THE END" appears on a purple background in block letters, zooming out slowly.}''

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Damp towel man.PNG|thumb|"Moist Molecules!"]]
*Click on the Z on Coach Z's medallion after he reveals that he's Damp Towel Man to see a Strong Badman comic.
*Click on the Z again in the scene he mentions Dry Ragamuffin to see another Strong Badman comic, starring a character that resembles Bubs.

==Fun Facts==
{{checkstuffpage}}

===Explanations===
*This cartoon is based on the [[DNA Evidence (running gag)|DNA Evidence]] [[Running gags|running gag]] that appeared in six straight emails, beginning with [[strong badathlon]].
*"Old maid" is a term used to disparagingly describe an older, unmarried woman.
*"On the rocks" means to pour over ice, usually said when ordering an [[Alcohol|alcoholic]] beverage.
*[[Wikipedia:Ragamuffin|Ragamuffin]] is a term used to describe a child wearing shabby clothing.
*"Costing an arm and a leg" is an idiom used to convey an extremely high price.
*"Selling like hotcake[s]" means to sell very well.

===Trivia===
*The text on the [[Lappy 486]] reads:
<blockquote class="email" style="background-image:none">
Hi. Yeah, go ahead and very safely enter most of your 
credit card numbers onto this Lappy. It will safen it all 
out. 
 
Thanks, 
The Strong Badagement</blockquote>
*The [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#3DFX drivers|3DFX drivers]]".
*This is the first toon to go over five and half minutes since [[Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon]].
*Women (like Marzipan) typically wore [[Wikipedia:Stola|stolas]] instead of togas in ancient Rome, because they associated toga wearing with prostitution.
**However, the "togas" Marzipan and Bubs wear are not really togas but are more like [[Wikipedia:Exomis|exoma]].

===Remarks===
*Strong Sad is able to write in his notebook without any problems, but in [[rough copy]], he had trouble writing a mere sentence on a single page of the same notebook.
*The puncture that Strong Bad makes is well above the bottom of the green apple bottle, but all the liquid leaks out anyway.
*Homestar's trenchcoat seems to be unaffected by gravity, as it remains stiff and straight even as he bends over.
*Being that the [[DNA Evidence (running gag)|DNA Evidence]] mentioned in [[the movies]] was said by a character IN the movie, it seems to have no bearing on this toon or the mystery, despite its mention in the opening.
**After Marzipan describes the DNA Evidence as a green tube, Strong Sad comments that it's "just like the movies!"
*Strong Sad writes [[Left Handedness|left-handed]] for the entire toon except when interviewing Coach Z where the pen is in his right hand. He is right handed in [[rough copy]].

===Goofs===
*The smoke from the office only wafts in the first scene.

===Fixed Goofs===
*When this toon was first released, when Marzipan was walking up to Bubs' Concession Stand, she was not wearing her toga. This was fixed less than an hour after the toon was released.

===Inside References===
*This is another mention of [[Mountain Dew]].
*Homestar's mispronunciation of DNA, and Coach Z's "mild mannered alter-ego" are references to [[Dan]].
**Homestar saying Dwa instead of dew is a joke off of the same manner of misprununciation.
**Furthermore, Coach Z's alter-ego's last name is an example of [["Man" pronounced as "m'n"]].
*The box Strong Sad pulls the DNA Evidence out of in the last scene is from [[The Secrets That I Keep]].
*Strong Bad's glasses, the line "Looks like I'm gonna have to jump!", and the background music in the respective scenes are from the [[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]] series of films.
*Bubs' mention of the cost of "an arm and a leg" and Marzipan's response refer to the fact that many of the characters [[Lack of Visible Arms|lack visible body parts]].
*Homestar's sleeves on the trenchcoat moving seem to support the possibility that he has invisible arms.
*Homsar mentions [[Pants|pants]].
*This is yet another instance of both [[Strong Bad Smiling|Strong Bad]] and [[Strong Sad Smiling|Strong Sad smiling]].
*Coach Z's janitor cart reads "JANITATOR", similar to [[Trogdor|Trogdor the Burninator]].
*The vacuum cleaner and Coach Z's line about cleaning up lasagna are references to [[Sbemail 169 Deleted Scene]].
*Strong Bad's belief that Strong Sad may be part elephant or part hippo stems from Strong Sad's [[soolnds]].
*The Cheat was seen wet before in [[bottom 10]].
*Homestar's hat and trenchcoat are from [[your funeral]].




===Real-World References===
*The entire structure of the short, with a detective interviewing several people when he ultimately is the culprit, is a nod to [[wikipedia:Film noir|film noir]], a style of American film that peaked in the late 1940s and early 1950s.

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Strong Bad, how you gonna check that email? With my boxing gloves, with my boxing gloves!

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: funeral</div>
Dear Screaming Yellow Strong Bad, 
What do you think your funeral would be like? 
Sincerely Yours, 
Bibendum
</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh man, Addendum. My funeral's going to be off all of the following: the hook, the chain, the charts, the grid, and most importantly, the wagon. ''{clears screen}'' First, I'll have to deal with the most difficult decision a newlydead faces: what to do with my stinking, rotten remains. I don't want to be just lying there surrounded by sweet-smelling flowers—

''{Cut to Strong Bad with his eyes blacked out and paler skin lying surrounded by flowers in a coffin with the word "COUGHIN'" on the side. Organ music is heard. Behind him is a noticeably fat person wearing a ducky shirt.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —and sweat-smelling followers.

'''OLD LADY:''' Oh, he looks ''so'' peaceful.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{turns his head}'' Shut up, lady! Peaceful is ''not'' how I roll.

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's why I'm gonna be taxidoimied! Nothing sums up my life's achievements quite like my stuffed corpse—

''{Cut to a white background. Strong Bad is standing on a log that says "Yosemite National Park" and holding a cougar}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —suplexing a cougar. ''{high voice}'' Mrow! ''{normally}'' It'll be kept in a place of honor for ''{fade to Marzipan's house}'' all the world to want to make out with.

''{Homestar Runner enters from the right with a brown hat and jacket; he hangs them on the Strong Bad statue.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Marzipan, I'm home!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{leaning in from the left}'' Did you find the DNA evidence?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Not yet, but I'm getting close!

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, maybe I'll just preserve myself fetal pig-style in a mason jar filled with the salty tears—

''{Cut to a jar filled with a liquid looking like water with a mostly-preserved Strong Bad inside. The corpse is missing several pieces of flesh and has an exposed ribcage.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —of all the heartbroken private school girls that will pine-uh for me-uh.

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That way, there'll be something left to re-animate once the zombie uprising cometh. In 2046. On March 31st. At 2:03 pm. ''{clears screen}'' And while I'm a big fan of the classic ''{sings to the tune of Chopin's funeral march}'' "dunh-dunh-da-dunh-Dunh-da-dunh-da-dunh-da-dunh," ''{normally}'' my funeral dirge would be written and performed by Taranchula!!

''{Cut to the Field. Strong Sad is wearing a black tie and carrying the jar containing Strong Bad's remains. Metal music begins to play.}''

'''TARANCHULA:''' Ooh hoo ha ha haaa.

''{Pan out; Strong Sad and the jar are silhouetted and The Cheat is following behind, whipping Strong Sad with a whip. Strong Mad and Bubs follow.}''

'''TARANCHULA:''' ''{singing}'' Brother in a jar! Brother in a jar! Brotherinajar!

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Since I'm not very confident in Strong Mad or The Cheat's public speaking abilities, I'll pre-record my own eulogy and have it played back on 5 boomboxes—

''{Cut back to the field: five boomboxes, including the [[booOOMbox]] and one made of cardboard, are stacked between two large vases with roses in them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —stacked on top of each other!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{playing off of boom boxes}'' Greetings, blubbering masses! Pull yourselves together! And turn off the snot works! We are gathered here to di— ''{electronic noises}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{playing off of boom boxes}'' I hope I'm not recording over anything important! OK, drap it! ''{rhythmically}'' Coach, Z, Coach, Z, 1, 2—

''{Cut to Bubs and Coach Z wearing ties and looking sad. While Coach Z's voice continues, Bubs glares at Coach Z, who begins to dance without changing his expression.}''

'''COACH Z:''' —3, 4, I said Coach, Z, Coach, Z, 1, 2—

''{Cut to Homestar Runner in a black suit and propeller cap standing behind a pulpit between two vases of roses.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sadly}'' Thank you, Strong Bad. ''{Coach Z's music is replaced with organ music}'' And now, a reading from the book of phone. ''{places and opens a phone book on the pulpit}'' Chapter 16, ''{turns page}'' Pizza Places. Aardvark Pizza. Abraham Lincoln's Pizza Cabin. ''{turns page}'' Acupuncture and Pizza: ''{voice begins to waver}'' Open late, free delivery! ''{closes and puts phone book away}'' And now, Strong Sad will perform an interpretive dance based on his brother's life.

''{A gong sounds, followed by drums. Cut to Strong Sad dancing onto the scene wearing a leotard. Strong Sad and the music stop at the sound of shattering glass; some drops of water fly in from the left. Cut to Strong Bad's corpse, which has broken open the jar. His eyes remain black and his body disfigured. The audience gasps. Strong Bad shakes his head dry.}''

'''ZOMBIE STRONG BAD:''' ''{speaking in a distorted voice}'' Sorry, everybody. Funeral's over. Not even death can stop me from stopping my leotarded brother prancing around in my honor.

''{Cut back to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' But you never got to see my Chaup au Fan!

''{Cut to Strong Bad}''

'''ZOMBIE STRONG BAD:''' You keep your chappy thong to yourself, Mister!

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hordes of locusts and famine got nothing on the sight of Strong Sad dancing interpretively. So, in order to spare the world, I guess I can just never die. Okay! Man, I hope the zombies still let me fight on their side. I've got my own tattered jeans and mouthful of grape jelly. Anyone? ''{softer and with progressively smaller text}'' Zombies? Jelly? Grapity?

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*"[[Wikipedia:Off-the-grid|Off the grid]]" is a method of providing power, water and other utilities to a building that does not use the public utility grids. It is also a slang term for living outside of normal society, so that one cannot be traced by the government or other authorities.
*"Off the wagon" is a phrase meaning a recovering alcoholic has started drinking again.
*A [[Wikipedia:Suplex|suplex]] is an offensive move often used in professional, olympic, and collegiate wrestling where a wrestler essentially flips their opponent over their shoulders.
*[[Wikipedia:Taxidermy|Taxidermy]] is the practice of preserving dead animals (usually sport game shot by a hunter) by stuffing them full of sand or sawdust to retain their natural posture for display as trophies.
*An [[Wikipedia: addendum|addendum]] is "something added or to be added, especially a supplement to a written work."
*A [[Wikipedia: leotard|leotard]] is a one-piece dance outfit or a swimsuit.
*Strong Bad's reference to "fetal-pig style" refers to the use of unborn [[Wikipedia:Fetal pig|pigs]], a by-product of the meat packing industry, being commonly packaged in formaldehyde and used for study in high school biology.

===Trivia===
*This email was actually available several hours before the official "New Strong Bad Email" button appeared. It was accessible by clicking on the "email soon" button or by typing in the URL.
*This email originally did not have a visible loading screen at the beginning or the Bibendum Easter egg. Both were added several hours after the email was released.
*The tape in the [[booOOMbox]] reads "my COOLogy."
* "Chaup Au Fan" is intended to sound like French, but doesn't really mean anything. It probably refers to the French names for many [[Wikipedia:glossary_of_ballet|ballet dance steps]]. The way it's initially said by Strong Bad and Strong Sad sounds like a mispronunciation of "coq au vin," which is chicken in wine sauce, a popular French dish. It might also be an intentional misspelling (to seem even more French) of the term "chapeau fan," which would literally translate as a "fan hat" (e.g. a baseball cap pertaining to a favorite team).

===Remarks===
[[Image:Homestar eulogy your funeral.png|thumb|A reading from the book of phone.]]
*Chapter 16 of the phone book contains pizza places because P is the 16th letter in the English alphabet.
*The Easter egg is the first time we see Strong Sad with visible teeth (although it is a different incarnation than usual).
*When Strong Sad carries the jar, the liquid inside defies the laws of physics: it ought to be level with the horizon, but is at the same angle as the jar.
*The coat that Homestar hangs on the stuffed couger has sleeves for arms, but Homestar [[Lack of Visible Arms|has no visible arms]].

===Goofs===
*When Strong Sad is carrying the jar before the funeral, the image of Strong Bad as a corpse has been reversed (the ribs on Strong Bad's right side are exposed rather than the ones on his left side) compared to the other two times he's shown like that (on the table and when he breaks out of the jar).
*When Strong Sad is carrying the jar, Strong Bad's leg bones are visible through the rips at his knees, but when he breaks out, there is skin on both legs.
*The first shot in Strong Sad's Easter egg shows 2046 Strong Sad with scars on his body and no belly button. However, his body in the close-up shot has a belly button and no scars.

===Glitches===
*One pixel's worth of Homestar's eyes is visible when he closes his eyes as he reads his eulogy, at the bottom of where his left eye is (on the viewer's right) when it is open. The pixel blinks at the normal Homestar rate.
**This is not visible when zooming in any way into the Flash file, whether it is in the HTML file it is in or the file itself. 

===Inside References===

'''Running Time:''' 5:35

'''Page Title:''' All your questions....sort of answered!!

==Transcript==
''{Yellow letters reading "Previously on HomestarRunner.com" on a black background zoom out slowly.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{voiceover}'' Previously on HomestarRunner.com... ''{Pronounces "previously" with a short e}''

''{Fade to a scene from [[strong badathlon]], set in the field. Marzipan and Homsar are sitting around a wooden table with a pink and white tea set on it. Faint music and snapping noises can be heard in the background.}''

'''MARZIPAN''': And that's why I believe the DNA evidence had been tampered with.

''{The music continues. Cut to a clip from [[unnatural]] that takes place in Strong Badia. Strong Bad and The Cheat are seen sitting around a yellow table with a red and black tea set on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': And that's when I tampered with the DNA evidence!

''{The music continues. Cut to inside the movie theater, from [[the movies]]. Strong Sad is sitting in a seat next to Pom Pom.}''

'''MOVIE''': ''{voiceover}'' The DNA evidence was gone!

''{The music continues. Cut to an excerpt of [[your funeral]], inside Marzipan's house. Strong Bad's statue of him wrestling a mountain lion is sitting by a couch with Homestar's trench coat and bowler hat hung on it. Homestar is standing in the middle of the room. Marzipan leans her head into the scene}''

'''MARZIPAN''': Did you find the DNA evidence?

''{The music continues. Cut to the office, as seen in [[from work]]. Strong Bad is sitting at his computer. Pom Pom is halfway off the screen. He leaves followed by Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': I'll have that DNA evidence on your desk by five.

''{The music continues. Cut to the Easter Egg from [[rough copy]], inside Marzipan's house. Homestar is sitting on the couch. The lights are off.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': DNA evidence.

''{The music continues. A guitar comes in to the music and begins playing a jazzy tune. Cut to a purple background with "The DNA Evidence" written in block letters. The camera pans down to Strong Sad. Mumbling is heard in the background. Strong Sad has a Easel on his right with "DNA Evidence" written across the top and a diagram of different characters and links between them.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Attention! Your attention please!

''{cut to Homsar with his mouth open on the other side of the room. Homsar gulps and closes his mouth. The mumbling stops. Cut back to Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': After extensive investigation, ''{Raises his right hand and turns his head toward the chart.}'' I'm ready to release my findings. I first spoke with...

''{Cut to Marzipan in her kitchen}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Marzipan. ''{Pronounces it "Marcy-pon"}''

'''MARZIPAN''': Well, it all started several weeks ago.

''{Cut to Marzipan's living room. Marzipan is walking in wearing a toga. There are muddy footprints on the carpet.}''

'''MARZIPAN''': ''{voiceover}'' I came home from my toga-yoga class to find that my house had been broken into and that the culprit had left behind some DNA evidence.

''{As she walks, the couch moves onto the screen. The cushions are disarranged and the "Thank You" picture on the wall is crooked. The muddy prints stop at the couch. Cut to Strong Sad holding a pen and his notebook in Marzipan's kitchen.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': What was it? Hair particles? Skin flakes? Blood crispies?

''{Cut back to toga Marzipan in front of ransacked couch.}

'''MARZIPAN''': ''{voiceover}'' No, it was a little test tube just full of green DNA evidence.

''{As she says this, toga Marzipan pulls out a test tube filled with green liquid from the couch. Cut back to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Oh. Just like in the movies.

''{Cut to front of Marzipan's house, toga Marzipan is walking out holding the test tube.}''

'''MARZIPAN''': ''{voiceover}'' So I immediately took it to Bubs to be analyzed...

''{Cut back to Marzipan in her kitchen}''

'''MARZIPAN''': ...and ''this'' ''{Holds up a tube filled with purple liquid and stamped "TAMPERED WITH".}'' is all I got back.

''{Right scroll to Bubs in the garage.}''

'''BUBS''': Well, it all started a few weeks ago. I just got finished teaching my...

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand. Bubs is walking inside wearing a toga.}

'''BUBS''': ''{voiceover}'' ...toga-yoga class {Bubs takes off toga.} when old-maid Marzipan showed up.

''{Toga Marzipan walks on to the screen.}''

'''MARZIPAN''': Hey, Bubs. Can you analyze this DNA evidence for me?

''{Cut to inside of stand. Bubs is silhouetted on the left.}''

'''BUBS''': Sure thing! But it's gonna cost you an arm and a leg.

'''MARZIPAN''': Not a problem.

''{Marzipan hands over the test tube to Bubs. Cut to Strong Sad in the garage.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': So, what did you find out when you analyzed it?

''{Cut back to Bubs}''

'''BUBS''': Oh, ''that''. Well, next thing I know...

''{Cut to inside of stand with silhouette}''

'''BUBS''': ''{voiceover}'' ...Strong Bad shows up.

''{Strong Bad pops up from under the counter.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Hey, Bubs. One green apple snow cone please.

'''BUBS''': Coming right up!

''{Bubs moves out of view. Cut to shelf with four push-spout jars labeled "Red", "Purple", "Green Apple", and "Blue". All contain various levels of said color liquid, except for the "Green Apple", which has a hole in the bottom. Some soft music begins to play. Scene zooms out slowly.}''

'''BUBS''': Ooh. Er.

''{Cut to bubs holding a plain snow cone in one hand and the evidence in the other.}''

'''BUBS''': Uh. ''{Looks at snow cone.}'' Blaaaah. ''{Looks at evidence.}''

''{Bubs pours the evidence over the snow cone. Music stops. Cut to outside of stand}''

'''BUBS''': Here ya go. One... ''{turns head to the side}'' Cough, cough... Green apple snow cone.

''{Bubs hands the cone over to Strong Bad. Cut to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''': You served the DNA in a snow cone?!

'''BUBS''': And it sold like hotcake.

''{Bottom scroll to the smoky office. Strong Bad is sitting at the desk leaning back in his chair. He has the cool shades on, and there is a lit cigarette in the ash tray on the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Yeah, I bought the DNA snow cone.

''{Cut to Strong Sad in the smoky office, still holding pad and pen.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': You ''knew'' it had the DNA evidence in it?!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Well, yeah.

''{Cut to side of Bubs' Concession Stand. Strong Bad is standing there wearing his shades. Marzipan walks up wearing a toga.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' I overheard that Marzipan had some DNA evidence, and I figured I could use it to continue my genetic experiments on The Cheat.

''{Strong Bad jumps off toward the back of the stand. Cut to shelf with snow cone flavoring. Green Apple is relatively full.}

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' So I sprung into action.

''{Strong Bad punctures the bottom of the Green Apple container with a pencil. The liquid pours out. cut to inside view. Soft music starts again.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Bubs-keep, one green-app snoke, on the rocks. And keep it rusty.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad in office.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': By the time I got home, it was all melted.

''{Cut to computer room. Strong Bad walks in from the right, still wearing the shades and carrying a glass of green liquid.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' So I put it in a glass on my desk and went downstairs to do one of my high-impact toga-yoga videos.

''{Cut back to office}''

'''STRONG BAD''': And that's the last I saw of it.

''{Cut to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''': You left it on your desk, eh?

''{Right scroll to Homestar in his living room.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Yeah, I swung by Strong Bad's during the day. ''{Frowns}'' The old lady had me out looking for some kind of ''{Brightens up}'' Dan evidence.

''{Cut to computer room. Glass is still on the desk. Homestar walks on from the right, wearing a hat and trenchcoat.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Strong Bad! I'm wearing a hat and trenchcoat! ''{Notices the glass}'' Ooh! A tall, cool glass of Mountain Dwa.

''{Cut to close-up}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Don't mind if I dwa! ''{He drinks the evidence.}'' Glug, glug, glug.

''{After a short pause, Homestar spits it out. Cut to dripping The Cheat.}''

'''THE CHEAT''': ''{Angry The Cheat noises.}''

''{Cut back to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Oh, sorry, The Cheat. That stuff tasted like dwa-dwa.

''{Cut back to The Cheat wiping himself off with a white towel.}''

'''THE CHEAT''': ''{The Cheat noises.}''

''{Cut to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''': So he wiped his face off with a gross towel, eh?

''{Right scroll to Coach Z in the locker room.}''

'''COACH Z''': You figured it out, Strong Sad! My cover is blown! I am actually ''{Pats his chest. Heroic halo appears briefly around him, accompanied by a sound effect.}'' Damp Towel Man! ''{Raises hand to his mouth}'' And also his mild-mannered alter-ego, Dan Towelman.

''{Cut to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Coach Z, no one's ever heard of those people.

''{Cut to Coach Z}''

'''COACH Z''': Damp Towel Man is a super hero. He collects damp towels from across the galaxy.

''{Cut to computer room, where a now green-spotted towel rests on the desk. Coach Z comes on from the left wearing a black mask and a towel tied on like a cape.}''

'''COACH Z''': Moist Molecules! A green-stained damp towel! The rarest and most powerful kind.

''{Cut to the office. A janitorial cart rolls onto the screen from the left.}''

'''COACH Z''': ''{voiceover}'' So I took the towel to work the next day to see if it could clean up microwave lasagna stains.

''{Coach Z walks by with a vacuum cleaner. Homestar shuffles by from the left, muttering to himself.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Stupid DNA evi''dence''! Where am I supposed to find evi''dence'' by five o' clock?

''{Cut back to Coach Z in the locker room}''

'''COACH Z''': But when I got back to my cart, it was gone! I suspect it was my nemesis, Dry Ragamuffin! Or his mild-mannered alter-ego, Dreyfus Ragámoofin. ''{Pronounced "rah-GAH-moo-fin}''

''{Cut back to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''' Coach Z, you have a real sucky imagination.

''{Cut back to Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z''': That I do, my boy, that I do. Though I ''did'' notice that...

''{Cut to the office, close up of muddy boots. Strong Bad can be seen on the right sitting at his desk. Coach Z's vacuum is moving back and forth. Scene zooms in slowly.}''

'''COACH Z''': ''{voiceover}'' ...Strong Bad had some muddy boots sitting under his cyorbicle.

''{cut back to Coach Z in locker room.}''

'''COACH Z''': I didn't find that at ''all'' suspicious.

''{Bottom scroll to the smoky office.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': First of all, those were ''not'' muddy. I'd been stomping around in pecan pie all morning. Marzipan's allergic to pecans, you know.

''{Cut to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''': So it was ''your'' DNA evidence.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Uhh, no. It was yours.

''{Cut to Strong Sad, whose eyes are now bugging out.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ''Whaaaaaat?!''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Yeah, I was just swiping the change from...

''{Cut to Marzipan's living room, Strong Bad has the test tube in the back of his pants, and is on the couch, pulling coins from it.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ...Marzipan's couch cushions. And I must've accidentally dropped it.

''{The test tube falls out of Strong Bad's pants and lands on the couch. Cut back to Strong Bad in smoky office.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Man, I was ''{Holds up hand with thumb close to the main part of the glove.}'' ''this'' close to finding out if you're really part elephant or part hippo or something.

''{Cut to angry Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''': I am ''not''!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Well, now I guess we'll never know for sure. Now if you'll excuse me. ''{Music starts}'' The stairs of this building have been burned down by termites. So it looks like I'm gonna have to jump!

''{Strong Bad jumps off the screen. Fade to black. Fade in to close-up of the bottom of Strong Sad's bed. Strong Sad pulls a box from underneath it. The box contains a picture frame, a red birthday card with a drawing of Strong Bad on it, a roll of film, a snow globe, and a corked test tube of green liquid. Strong Sad grabs the test tube. Cut to close-up of Strong Sad smiling.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Yes. The world will ''never'' know for sure. Oh-ho-ho-ho...

''{Cut closer}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ...Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho...

''{Cut closer and angled}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ...Ooh-hoo-ho-ho-ho-ho...

''{Cut even closer}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ...Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha...

''{Cut to Strong Bad stealing change from Marzipan's couch. Pan left to see Strong Sad peeking through the window}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ''{voiceover}'' ...Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo...

''{Cut to Marzipan giving the test tube to Bubs. Pan up to see Strong Sad on the roof.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ''{voiceover}'' ...Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha Ah-ha-ha-ha...

''{Cut to Coach Z's cart. Strong Sad comes up from behind it and reaches for the towel.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ''{voiceover}'' ...Hah-ha-ha-ha-ha...

''{Cut back to Strong Sad standing in his room, holding the test tube.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ''{voiceover}'' ...Woo-ho-ho-ho...

''{Cut to wide angle view with Homsar standing next to Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ...Ah-ha-ha-ha Woo-ha-ha—

''{Record screech. Strong Sad looks down and finally notices Homsar there.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Oh. Hi. You're not gonna say anything, are you?

''{Cut to close-up of Homsar}''

'''HOMSAR''': DaAaAa, these Easter pants are getting ''way'' too tight. ''{His hat flies off his head on "pants", slides backwards on "way", and performs a backflip off his mouth on "too tight".}''

''{Two ascending notes play, accompanied by the screen turning black except for a small circle around Homsar's eyes. Fade to black. "THE END" appears on a purple background in block letters, zooming out slowly.}''

*"On the rocks" means to pour over ice, usually said when ordering an [[Alcohol|alcoholic]] beverage.
*[[Wikipedia:Ragamuffin|Ragamuffin]] is a term used to describe a child wearing shabby clothing.
*"Costing an arm and a leg" is an idiom used to convey an extremely high price.
*"Selling like hotcake[s]" means to sell very well.

===Trivia===
*The text on the [[Lappy 486]] reads:

credit card numbers onto this Lappy. It will safen it all 
out. 
 
Thanks, 
The Strong Badagement</blockquote>
*The [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#3DFX drivers|3DFX drivers]]".
*This is the first toon to go over five and half minutes since [[Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon]].
*Women (like Marzipan) typically wore [[Wikipedia:Stola|stolas]] instead of togas in ancient Rome, because they associated toga wearing with prostitution.

===Remarks===
*Strong Sad is able to write in his notebook without any problems, but in [[rough copy]], he had trouble writing a mere sentence on a single page of the same notebook.
*The puncture that Strong Bad makes is well above the bottom of the green apple bottle, but all the liquid leaks out anyway.
*Homestar's trenchcoat seems to be unaffected by gravity, as it remains stiff and straight even as he bends over.
*Being that the [[DNA Evidence (running gag)|DNA Evidence]] mentioned in [[the movies]] was said by a character IN the movie, it seems to have no bearing on this toon or the mystery, despite its mention in the opening.
*Strong Sad writes [[Left Handedness|left-handed]] for the entire toon except when interviewing Coach Z where the pen is in his right hand. He is right handed in [[rough copy]].

===Goofs===
*The smoke from the office only wafts in the first scene.

===Fixed Goofs===

===Inside References===
*This is another mention of [[Mountain Dew]].
*Homestar's mispronunciation of DNA, and Coach Z's "mild mannered alter-ego" are references to [[Dan]].
**Furthermore, Coach Z's alter-ego's last name is an example of [["Man" pronounced as "m'n"]].
*The box Strong Sad pulls the DNA Evidence out of in the last scene is from [[The Secrets That I Keep]].
*Strong Bad's glasses, the line "Looks like I'm gonna have to jump!", and the background music in the respective scenes are from the [[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]] series of films.
*Bubs' mention of the cost of "an arm and a leg" and Marzipan's response refer to the fact that many of the characters [[Lack of Visible Arms|lack visible body parts]].
*Homestar's sleeves on the trenchcoat moving seem to support the possibility that he has invisible arms.
*Homsar mentions [[Pants|pants]].
*This is yet another instance of both [[Strong Bad Smiling|Strong Bad]] and [[Strong Sad Smiling|Strong Sad smiling]].
*Coach Z's janitor cart reads "JANITATOR", similar to [[Trogdor|Trogdor the Burninator]].
*The vacuum cleaner and Coach Z's line about cleaning up lasagna are references to [[Sbemail 169 Deleted Scene]].
*Strong Bad's belief that Strong Sad may be part elephant or part hippo stems from Strong Sad's [[soolnds]].
*The Cheat was seen wet before in [[bottom 10]].
*Homestar's hat and trenchcoat are from [[your funeral]].




===Real-World References===
*The entire structure of the short, with a detective interviewing several people when he ultimately is the culprit, is a nod to [[wikipedia:Film noir|film noir]], a style of American film that peaked in the late 1940s and early 1950s.
