Fun Facts
Remarks
- Feeding the ducks is a... *ahem* British slang term. It could be possible that the "emailee" is aquainted with British slang, but he might just mean feeding the ducks at the pond with a piece of bread.
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 e-mail.
Real World References
- Ron Kiwi is probably from New Zealand, where the people colloquially call themselves Kiwis.
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.
