STRONG BAD: Whoa! Electronic mail!
Dear Strong Bad,
My girlfriend is really annoying because she calls
me when I'm trying to study. What should I do?
Crapfully yours,
Roy
STRONG BAD: {typing} Oh, well! I think I might have a little piece of advice for you, Roy. Close the book and quit being such a dork-on!!!!!!! {clears screen} I mean, this girl obviously has the hots for you man. Why do you think she's calling you? I mean, you've got the potential to get 1st, 2nd, and quite possibly even 3rd base. So unless you're studying a book called "This Book is Better than 1st, 2nd, and Quite Possibly Even 3rd Base", I suggest you hightail it over to your girlfriend's house ASAP, man! {clears screen} And also, send me a copy of that book. It sounds pretty good. You know what...scratch that. You keep studying Roy, I'm going over to your girlfriend's house.
{He walks away from the computer and a few seconds later he returns.}
STRONG BAD: Um, I forgot. I don't know her name or where she lives, but your girlfriend still loves me, Roy.
{The Paper comes down.}
Easter Eggs
- Click on "This Book is Better than 1st, 2nd, and Quite Possibly Even 3rd Base" in red to see the amazon.com spoof page for the book by Lem Sportsinterviews.

Real-World References
- Tempe Sam, one of the reviewers for This Book is Better than 1st, 2nd, and Quite Possibly Even 3rd Base, is planning to write a book called Leftover Sam and the Leftover Sam Book. This may be a reference to the band "Leftover Salmon."
DVD Version
- If you click on the hidden Strong Bad icon in the bottom left-hand corner of the Tandy 400's screen at the end of the email, you'll get the Bookazon.com site.
- The Easter egg looks different from what it does on the site. Among the differences are:
- The site is now named bookazon.egg, a reference to the email pom pom where Homestar says that he thinks the Web page ends with "dot-egg" instead of "dot-com."
- The tabs now read, "WELCOME," "STORE," "BOOKS," "VIDELECTRIX," "BVD," "CRAIG," "PRODUKTS," and "AB-ABBERS".
- Two of the advertisements from Under Construction (the ones for Affordable Hosting and Spam Free Living) now adorn the right side of the screen.
- The Purchase button section now reads "BUYIN' TIME? BUY THIS JUNK NOW?"
- Strong Bad also gives his reading of the site, as transcribed below.
