The booOOMbox is the tape deck and radio shared by The Brothers Strong. Though similar in appearance, it should not be confused with the Ghetto Blastro (which has two speakers) or the extremely expensive Jam Box (which has two tape decks). Strong Bad has previously listened to his autobiography on it. It was severely damaged by Strong Bad in sibbie when he performed a pile driver (among other professional wrestling moves) on it. It apparently was repaired or replaced before Strong Sad listened to college radio on it. In unnatural, Strong Sad uses it to play back King Bubsgonzola Supreme's roar.
It seems to always be set at 1000. This would be an AM station. In radio, 89.3, the frequency of "WSBD: The Voice of CGNU", should be a lot further to the left.
The record button's symbol is red until one presses play, at which time it turns white, indicating that the record function has been disabled.
It clearly resembles a portable radio from the 1980s.
The booOOMbox made an appearance in Homestar Ruiner before it was replaced by the SeeDees.
