STRONG BAD: Boy, is it ever Monday.

{reading}

Yo yo, Strong Bad!

Are there any ghosts in Strongbadia?

Your Favorite Cowboys,
Josh, John & Doug
Nashville, TN

STRONG BAD: Whoah. Took all three of ya to come up with that one, huh? You're some bright young men! {typing} You know boys, cowboys, I've never really given the ol' kingdom a thorough ghost check. {calling out} The Cheat! {The Cheat zips right up to Strong Bad} Meet me in the Strong Bad Cave! {The Cheat makes a quizzical noise} Erm, well...meet me in the closet and, uh...we'll put on some costumes.

{We see an old Batman-style transition, with the eye portion of Strong Bad's facemask used as a logo to designate a scene change. Strong Bad and The Cheat walk out into Strong Badia at night, both dressed in costumes.}

STRONG BAD: Okay, The Cheat, let's just turn on my ghost-detecting equipment here...see if we can't get any readings. {turns on a flashlight and waves it around} Hey sign! You haunted? What about you, tire? Any ghosts? Chinese food! You a ghost? {the top of the box of chinese food opens up with a green mist escaping} IT'S THE GHOST OF GENERAL TSO! Oh--wait. It's just grody and rotten. The Cheat, will you please freaking clean up after yourself?! Oh well, looks like Strongbadia is ghost-free and proud to be.

{The ghost of Tandy appears behind him}

STRONG BAD: Oh! Uh...my old computer! Umm...what's up, man? Sure is one...spooky sound you're making there...

{The Bad Graphics Ghost materializes on the Tandy screen}

STRONG BAD: Ooh, lookit that! Little...bad graphics ghost. Heh. Hey, little guy...look old computer. Sorry I threw you out and everything but, uh...The Cheat, um...Chea-chea-cheat's got soccer practice, so uh...did you remember your cleats, The Cheat? THROW THAT CHINESE FOOD AT HIM!

{The Cheat does, and they run off. The ghost computer flies away. Cut back to the Compy. The Paper comes down, and the Bad Graphics Ghost appears on the Compy's screen}

Easter Eggs

  • At the end of this one a "Bad Graphics Ghost" appears, you can mouse-over to eliminate the pieces.
  • If you manage to get all the pieces to be gone at the same time, Strong Sad will sing a song for you.
    • Here's what he sings:
Have you seen the ghost of John?
All white bones with the skin all go-o-o-one!
Whoo! whoooo! whooo!
Wouldn't it be chilly with no skin onnnn.
Woah, check it out! It's like I'm the master of time and space in here!

Fun Facts

  • Strong Bad comments, "Boy, is it ever Monday!" because this was released late, on a Wednesday.
  • The printings on Strong Bad & The Cheat's shirts are the logo for Ghostbusters 2.
  • The Diskette says: "Tongue of the Fatman"
  • This email also contains some very obvious references to the old Batman TV series from the 1960s, both in Strong Bad telling The Cheat "Quick! To the Strong Badcave!" and the scene cut between Strong Bad's computer room and Strong Badia.
  • The Tandy 400 is apparently obsolete and can only display images of poor graphics, and yet it was able to clearly show a screenshot from Hairstyle Runner in homestar hair.
