STRONG BAD: Must...check...emails...
dear strong bad,
do you ever feed the ducks? personally i think feeding
the ducks is the greatest thing in the world. what are
your thoughts on this subject?
your friend,
ron kiwi
STRONG BAD: {typing} Unfortunatley, Mr. Kiwi, there are no ducks by my house. But I do have a pretty sweet duck pond simulator for my computer. Check it out, man.
{Strong Bad types run "duckpond", which loads up a game of Duck Pond, and starts playing it}
STRONG BAD: Wow, you're right Ron. This is the greatest thing in the world. I mean it's like I'm right there at the pond. Come here, ducky!

Fun Facts
Goofs
- This email is missing the glare in the upper-left corner of the computer screen that is present in other emails.
- Strong Bad spelled "Unfortunately" as "Unfortunatley" in his reply to the email.
Remarks
- Feeding the ducks is a... *ahem* British slang term. The "Emailee" could be associated with British slang, or could just enjoy going by the pond.
- When you finish the "state of the art version," it takes you right back to the begining of the email.
- You used to be able to play the "state of the art version" just like the Tandy version. However, you can't do this anymore.
DVD Version
- The game Duck Pond is not playable in the DVD version for obvious reasons.
- As well, if you click on the hidden Strong Bad head near the bottom of the Tandy's screen, it takes you straight to a short demo of the Atari 2600 version of Duck Pond.
