{Pom Pom and Strong Bad are standing next to The Stick.}
STRONG BAD: So I was like, {begins to "shake it" mockingly} "Well, you think you're so hot, but me hot, me hot!"
{Pom Pom laughs.}
STRONG BAD: Yeah, that's a pretty good one, huh? Oh crap, I should probably check my email. Hey, let me see your Pom Pilot!
{Pom Pom tosses his Pom Pilot to Strong Bad.}
STRONG BAD: {singing as he uses the stylus to bring up the email} Checkin' my email... Here at the stick... That's pretty cool...
Dear Strong Bad, Is it hard to flip someone off with boxing gloves on? Very crapfully: Phylo D
STRONG BAD: Uh, not really, man.
{He holds his hand straight to the front.}
STRONG BAD: I'm flippin you off right now. Of course there's other ways to give somebody the finger.
{He puts his hand behind him}
STRONG BAD: Oh, check it out: behind the back.
{He waves his hand in circles.}
STRONG BAD: Oh, around the world. And my personal favorite.
{He holds both of his arms up to the side.}
STRONG BAD: Psssshhh! The Double Deuce! What's your favorite, Pom Pom?
{Pom Pom holds one of his hands up.}
STRONG BAD: Ah, Pom Pom likes the Single Deuce.
{Pom Pom nods. Homestar walks on screen.}
STRONG BAD: Hey, Homestar!
{He flips his hand to Homestar.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Hey, right back at you Strong Bad!
{Homestar walks away.}
STRONG BAD: He just give me the bird!
{Pom Pom laughs.}
STRONG BAD: That wasn't funny, man! That'll hurt a guy's feelings. {Brooding} Okay, so until next week send me your email and I will more than likely flip you off.
{The Paper comes down. After a few seconds, Pom Pom peeks his head out from under it.}
Fun Facts
Trivia
- This the first instance of a character interacting with The Paper.
- This is the only e-mail set completely outside.
- The name "Double Deuce" may be a reference to the film "Road House", starring Patrick Swayze, wherein Swayze is the head bouncer at a club bearing the name "Double Deuce".
Goofs
- The page title is Tandy 400!!!, even though Strong Bad is never at his computer.
- Right before Strong Bad gives the Double Deuce, he sets down the Pom Pilot at his feet. Then, when Homestar Runner walks by, the Pom Pilot is nowhere to be seen.
- Strong Bad's right eye (on the viewer's left) has the "gleam" in the wrong spot.
- Apparently, Pom Pom has Strong Bad's email username and password saved on to his Pom Pilot.
Fast Forward
- The Double Deuce would later become Stinkoman's main attack.
