=== YES ===

''{Strong Sad is standing on a basketball field and his hands are glued to his face.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Guys?! Awww! Oh! Ohw! Augh!

''{There's a target painted on his chest with the label "Peg me" above. The red balls are being tossed at him.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay you guys! Augh!

''{An other ball is being tossed at him.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' It's not funny. Augh!

''{An other ball is being tossed to him again...}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I'm kinda... Augh! ''{...and again...}'' ...unable to defend myself. Aww! Oh! ''{...2 balls are being tossed at him.}'' More so than usual. ''{And the balls continues to be tossed at him.}''

''{[[The paper]] comes out and it says "Click here to e-mail strong bad - [mailto:strongbad@homestarrunner.com strongbad@homestarrunner.com]", click on the text to email him.}''

=== MAYBE ===

''{Strong Sad is lying down on the bed and his hands are still stuck to his face.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Augh! I'm blind! My prayers are finally been answered. Oh wait, my hands are just glued to my face. Oh well, I'll take that.

''{Strong Bad and The Cheat are standing outside Strong Sad's room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man, he likes it! Okay, go to plan B!

''{The Cheat salutes him and brings of bucket full of red ants and takes it to Strong Sad's room.}''

''{[[The paper]] comes out and it says "Click here to e-mail strong bad - [mailto:strongbad@homestarrunner.com strongbad@homestarrunner.com]", click on the text to email him.}''

''{One red ant crawls on the floor.}''

=== TAKE IT IN A BIT OF A DIFFERENT DIRECTION ===

'''STRONG BAD:''' Though I decided to take it in a bit of a different direction.

''{Strong Sad is standing on a green field with his hands glued to his butt.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, hohoh... oh hey Homestar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Er, Strong Sad. Why are you touching your buttocks? That's pretty weird.

'''STRONG SAD:''' I can't help it!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, that is ''really'' weird.

'''STRONG SAD:''' No wait, you don't understand!

'''BUBS:''' Grabbing your butt? That's not very ladylike.

'''STRONG SAD:''' I'm not a lady.

'''BUBS:''' Oh! Whatever.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Augh, this is getting frustrating!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, Strong Sad. Fancy seeing you here! And uncontrollably grabbing your own butt I see. Oh, don't let me get in the way. Carry on! ''{Strong Bad grins.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Please, come back!

'''COACH Z:''' 'Atta boy, Strong Sad.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hey, where are you going? You have any solvent? Or Goof Off? Or DD-7? Somebody get my hands off my butt!

''{[[The Paper]] comes out and it says "Click here to e-mail strong bad - [mailto:strongbad@homestarrunner.com strongbad@homestarrunner.com]", click on the text to email him.}''

== Easter Eggs ==

*If you choose YES, after Strong Sad gets hit with the balls - you can click the target on his belly to play a little "Hit Strong Sad" game.
*In the Strong Sad game you can score a basket if you hit just left of the target on Strong Sad's belly (this gives you 2 points.  You can also hit the scoreboard if you aim to the far right.
*The score you can get for the Strong Sad game is only up to 99, if you score any more it goes back to ten and you have to score 10 more points to get to eleven.  Then 10 more points and so on... then when you get to 99 again, you have to score 100 more points.  After that you have to score 1000 more points.  Gives me a headache just thinkin' of it.

== Fun Facts ==

*When this Strong Bad Email first came out, the extra choices weren't available.  It just went ahead with the "Take it in a different direction" bit, which is why that's the only choice that shows Strong Bad still typing.  The choices were added a few weeks later.
