'''SBEmail Menu Description:''' Strong Bad gives advice on choosing a band name.
+
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, Dan, the easiest way is to, you know, just have a really cool last name and use that. You know like Van Halen, or Dokken, or to a lesser extent Z'Nuff.

{''clears screen. Now every time Strong Bad says a band name, an index card featuring the band's logo appears on the screen accompanied by guitar riffs''}

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing to the tune of [[The Cheat Theme Song]]}'' Who's that giving Strong Bad a hand? Email... Email... ''{stops singing}''
+
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' The other way is to take a really cool word but then spell it all wrong. You know like... "LAZOR", or "BIGG NIFE", or something like "TARANCHULA" or maybe like "LIMOZEEN". You know, these are all great names, and you know, go ahead and take them. I'm not going to charge you or nothing. Just, uh, put me on the guest list plus one for that show huh? I'll probably take Pom-Pom. You know, He's been pretty cool lately. ''{stops typing}'' Okay, so tune in next week, when my guests will be Lemmy from Motörhead and the guys from Krokus!
