{After "Dear awesome", Strong Bad inserts, "Oh! Somebody finally got it right!"; at the first ellipsis, he adds, "Oh, you mean like, Red iculous?" and a red crayon that says "Red iculous" appears; and after "Laser lemon", he repeats suprisedly "Laser lemon?!" He picks up a phone and says, "The Cheat, halt production immediately!" Cut to the garage, where The Cheat is working on a laser with lemons on it.}
STRONG BAD: {over the PA} Crayola beat us to the punch! Let's shift focus to Laser Limes! {The Cheat looks annoyed} Or maybe just laser beams!
THE CHEAT: Okay.
{Cut back to the Lappy, where Strong Bad resumes reading the email. He reads "Andover,MN" as "And over, and over, and over, M N."}
STRONG BAD: Ter? What is that, short for Terbert? Or Terlliam? Or Terthew? {clears screen} Welter, the crayons of my youth had pretty awesome names. Especially the ones that came with my Limozeen 1989 "Ladies, We're Staying in Room 302 at the Ramada" tour coloring book! {cut to a view of this coloring book, which has a drawing of two members of Limozeen on the cover.} There was Leather Black {a black crayon saying "Leather Black" appears}, Ripped Denim Blue {a blue crayon saying "Ripped Denim Blue" appears}, Groupie Lipstick Red, {a red crayon saying "Groupie Lipstick Red" appears} Skin Flesh! {A pink crayon saying "Skin Flesh" appears.} Hairspray Blond! {A yellow crayon saying "Hairspray Blond" appears.} And Tight Shiny Purple. {A purple crayon saying "Tight Shiny Purple" appears.} It even came with a cassette tape about how to color! {a yellow cassette tape saying "Colorin' (Outside the Lines)" appears.}
{Change to a view of the first page of the coloring book, which shows Larry and Gary performing. Below this is the text "Gary and Larry rehearse their moves".}
LARRY: {singing} Grab a box of sixty-four, {changes to the next page, which shows Limozeen with the text "We are in a band called Limozeen!"} with a shotgun a built right in, {change to next page, which shows Larry with two women; Larry's face has been coloured like Strong Bad's, and his hands have been drawn to look like red boxing gloves; the test says "Larry Strong Bad always serenades the 'of-age' ladies after the show"} {Larry sings high notes; lyrics incomprehensible} {change to next page, which shows a drummer with a face drawn on his abdomen; the text says, "Drummers almost never wear shirts while playing a big show."} and let the party begin!
Easter Eggs
- Click on "Dear awesome" after Strong Bad mentions "Red Iculous" to see a "Dear awesome" color crayon.
- Likewise, click on "some crayon" and see a "Some Crayon" colored crayon.
- Click on Homestar's shirt when he walks up to Marzipan to see the logo for L.U.R.N. or "Life Blossums Undergoing Re-programming Naturally."
- Click on the word Murder on the chalkboard after Strong Bad asks about Homestar's grades to see his Report card.
- At the end, click on the coloring book to see the whole thing (comes up in a new window). You also get to color it with the included crayons, or print it out.
Fun Facts
Remarks
- The Lappy's "toe" seems to be back, as it isn't missing throughout the email.
- The letter blocks on Homsar's desk spell "TURD" another instance of swearing.
- The cards above the chalkboard read "4, 13, (, I), 3, I=, 6, #, 1" which is supposed to look like the alphabet characters A-I.
- The Chalkboard says "SOY IS MURDER" which is odd compared to her personality and her being of a vegetarian.
