Email Processing Room
From Homestar Runner Wiki
Revision as of 22:20, 16 September 2004
This place exists in one Easter Egg, and nowhere else. It is definitely not a part of the normal Homestar Runner world, but it is clever enough and amusing enough to be listed here.
It is the nexus of all e-mail processing. It is linked to through Strong Bad's website (from Email 51). Just look for an animated GIF of a mouse. The Cheat types on an old computer. Strong Mad receives email printouts, puts on his reading glasses, reads them carefully, chews them up, spits them into a cylinder, and sends them via pneumatic tube to Strong Bad. Strong Bad laughs at them and rips them into tiny pieces. This cycle repeats
Behind Strong Mad can be seen a poster reading "GET BACK TO WORK!" On the wall hang three signs that say, "PRIDE, DETAIL," and "ETHICS." They originally linked to 'The Rumor.' If you try the links, you will be referred to 'The Rumor's' new address at http://www.dumpyusa.com/rumorintro.htm. This is of particular interest, because The Brothers Chaps refer to linking in the FAQ section of their contact information:
Q: Will you put up a banner or link to my site?
A: Our policy has always been absolutley no advertising.
That includes banners, pop-ups, and even links to other sites.
This is, therefore, an interesting and inexplicable exception to that rule. Perhaps TBC forgot about this page when they wrote the FAQ. Since a about a year has elapsed between SB email 51 and the FAQ, this is a reasonable explanation
