Email Processing Room
From Homestar Runner Wiki
The Email Processing Room is the nexus of all Strong Bad's e-mail processing. Linked through the animated GIF of a mouse on Strong Bad's Website, it is definitely not a part of the normal Homestar Runner world, but clever and amusing enough to be listed here.

Processing Details
The Cheat types on an old computer and prints out a potential email candidate. Strong Mad grabs the paper, puts on his reading glasses, and reads the email carefully. He then chews up the paper, spits it into a cylinder, and sends it into a via pneumatic tube to Strong Bad. Strong Mad takes off his glasses. Strong Bad just laughs at the paper and and rips it into tiny pieces. This cycle repeats.
Noted Inconsistency
Behind Strong Mad can be seen a poster reading "GET BACK TO WORK!" and three signs that say, "PRIDE," "DETAIL," and "ETHICS." They include a link to the former website of "The Rumor." The site has since expired and been turned into a weight loss advertisement page. This is notable because in an early FAQ, requests for links from Homestar Runner were rejected on the grounds that they do not use links to other sites. This has been corrected in the later FAQ.
The Rumor
"The Rumor" eventually became DumpyUSA, a website run by Brent McNeal and Adam Sterritt, who are friends of Matt Chapman and Craig Zobel and brother to Ryan Sterritt, who are all Homestar Runner creators and contributors. The "Pride," "Detail," and "Ethics" signs in the cartoon refer to corresponding signs posted in Rumor South headquarters, i.e. Adam's bedroom.
The new site includes a photo page of Matt and Adam's blog with archives.
