Transcript

STRONG BAD: I'ma gonna email you girl! Woman! {He holds up pieces of paper that say "Girl." and "Woman." as he says those words} Won't you email me, Girl? Woman? {He holds up the papers again. Then he brings up the email:}

Dear Strongbad,
Why doesn't homestar ever wear pants? It's kind of
creepy how he walks around with no pants all the time.
Anyway, I think you should get him some pants, maybe some
parachute pants would work...yeah, that would work. Or maybe
some clown pants, I don't care, just get him some pants!
Tootles!
Clancy

{Strong Bad skips everything between "Anyway" and "I don't care" and, instead, says "Blabbity blah, blah blebbity bloo". He also pronounces "Tootles" as "Toot-less" and "Clancy" as "Clanky".}

Let me once again call upon the services of my trusty, somewhat dusty, Electronic High Tech Input Expensive Device! {holds up a permanant marker} I just need to shake up the expsensive... electrons here. {whites out a majority of the email with the marker}. {{mumbling} High tech... electronic device.

*When Homestar "goes nuts", he teleports all over the screen at one point. While he does, he takes on the appearance of his video game counterpart seen in [[Main Page 13]] for a few frames.
