Emails Taken in a Different Direction

Sometimes in the Strong Bad emails, Strong Bad mixes up what he is asked or told, and will do something either lightly suggested and make the whole email about it, or will mix up facts in the email. This is mostly seen in the Tandy 400 emails, but it is also in the other two eras. Unusually, some of the mixed up emails actually create major parts of the Homestar Runner universe.
