STRONG BAD: {off-screen} I'm hooome!
{He walks to the Tandy 400 and sits in front of it.}
STRONG BAD: Okay, let's see here. Don't need this anymore.
{Strong Bad removes the post-it on the screen that says "DORKS!" on it and an angry face with sharp teeth below.}
STRONG BAD: And don't need THIS anymore.
{Strong Bad knocks the Tandy off the table and onto the floor.}
STRONG BAD: For behold...
{Strong Bad places a new computer on the desk.}
STRONG BAD: A 386. A spectacle of graphics and sound! {A tune is played and the "386 Version 1.5" logo appears on the screen.} Okay, let's get to checking!
strong bad, what would you do if you were invisable for one day???? sin studly17
STRONG BAD: {typing} Well dumb name, this is something I've often thought about myself. And I came to the conclusion that... {clears screen, continues typing} I don't really think being visible prevents me from doing whatever I want to do. So I'd probably just do the kinda stuff I normally do.
{Cut to an invisible Strong Bad stealing two boxes of Swiss Cake Rolls from Bubs' Concession Stand.}
STRONG BAD: {voice-over} You know, like, steal stuff...
{Bubs turns around to find the Swiss Cake Rolls boxes floating away.}
BUBS: My chocolates! Come back, chocolates! I didn't mean what I said.
{Cut to Homestar Runner standing in the field.}
STRONG BAD: {voice-over} ...punch stuff...
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Marzipan is late.
{The boxes of rolls float up to Homestar.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh hey guys!
{A punching noise is heard and Homestar doubles over. The boxes float off.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oof! Owww. Those things are bad for you.
{Cut to Invisible Strong Bad eating the Swiss Cake Rolls on his couch in front of the TV. Family Feud is on in here.}
STRONG BAD: {voice-over} ...eat stuff... and at the same time... watch stuff...
{A buzzer sound is heard from the TV.}
INVISIBLE STRONG BAD: Hoo ha ha ha! Survey says, you're an idiot!
{Strong Mad enters the room and walks in front of where Invisible Strong Bad is sitting.}
INVISIBLE STRONG BAD: Oh hey man. Look, I'm sitting here, I'm just invisible, okay? Hey! Brain-for-brains! I'm right here! The floating Swiss Cake Roll is talking to you! Hey, now what the...NONONONO...
{Strong Mad gets angry and jumps on the couch where Invisible Strong Bad is sitting.}
INVISIBLE STRONG BAD: NOOOOOOOO!
{Cut back to the computer with Strong Bad}
STRONG BAD: Ugh! {typing} Nevermind. Being invisible is not worth a face full of Strong Mad butt. {stops typing} Whoa! {resumes typing} I feel like I need to take a shower. I dunno when the last time he washed that singlet was. {stops typing} Anyways. Remember, kids! Take your vitamins, pretend you're hilarious, and always, always, e-mail Strong Bad.
{The Paper comes down. The screen eventually fades out and cuts to the Tandy 400 sitting in a trash can}
