== Transcript ==
''{The shot opens with the shotgunned Compy 386 with a piece of paper taped to the front of it listing all the Strong Bad emails from [[some kinda robot]] to [[virus]] (some kinda robot to [[animal]] on versions with the toon removed). After about 10 seconds, Homestar Runner starts talking}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' You want how much?! That's preposterous! What kinda shady Bubs business you running here anyways? A Bubsness? ''{camera zooms out so we can see Homestar and the rest of the concession stand, with Bubs nowhere in sight}'' Why, I've got half a mind to report you, mister!

''{Bubs appears from the back of the concession stand as though walking up a staircase}''

'''BUBS:''' Doot doot doo... all right, I'm back!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh! Nothing!

'''BUBS:''' Who were you just talkin' to?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, nobody? Everybody? Strong... Mad?

'''BUBS:''' Strong Mad was up here? Where'd he go?

''{camera angle changes so that the camera is inside the concession stand looking outward}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Bubsy, I'm not gonna lie to you. He flew away.

'''BUBS:''' Homestar, ''{camera changes back to exterior view of the concession stand}'' did you come up here for a reason?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, freedom?

'''BUBS:''' What?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Liberty! I mean, savings? Milk! Eggs! A low-priced automobile!

'''BUBS:''' Well, why didn't you say so? I've got one right here! ''{Bubs gestures toward the shotgunned Compy}'' Just in! Fresh from the factory goodness! 

''{camera changes back to the interior view of the concession stand. Homestar performs several double takes}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Bubs, are you trying to sell me a lemon?

'''BUBS:''' Homestar, I'm not gonna lie to you.

''{camera changes back to exterior view of the concession stand}''

'''BUBS:''' You're not gonna find a better deal.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Sold! Sold! ''{deeper voice}'' Sold!

''{The camera cuts back to the menu taped on the broken Compy 386}''

==Fun Facts==

===Trivia===
*When the [[Tandy 400]] exploded, the [[Broken Tandy Menu]] similarly replaced the usual email menu.
*A "[[Wikipedia:Lemon (automobile)|lemon]]", which Homestar refers to, is a defective car.

===Remarks===
*This toon also has a different filename than the usual Compy 386 Strong Bad email menu, so instead of being "[[OldHR:sbemail.swf|sbemail.swf]]", it was "[[OldHR:sbemail shotgunned.swf|sbemail_shotgunned.swf]]".
*We now know where both of Strong Bad's old computers were being held in the time period from [[virus]] to [[retirement]].  [[The King of Town]] had the [[Tandy 400]], and [[Homestar Runner]] had the [[Compy 386]].

===Goofs===  
*The Compy 386 is missing the contrast dial.
*The font used for the email names does not include an underscore ('_') character, so 'sb_email 22' appears with a square instead of an underscore.
*The Compy 386 is shaped differently than it is seen from the side in [[fingers]].
*The notepad does not list the email [[virus]] as new after the camera zooms out to Bubs' Concession Stand.

===Glitches===
*If you let the animation start, the menu has a bug that causes the emails to count up from 0 instead of 1, so clicking on a title will direct you to the email one previous to it. This also means [[some kinda robot]] directed to 'sbemail0.html' and virus could only be accessed from the menu by clicking the very top of the word ''virus''. Also, [[flashback]] takes you to 'emailahundred.html' instead of 'sbemailahundred.html', whether or not you let the animation play.
**Similarly, after the animation plays, "car" links to sbemail100.html, "[[Not the 100th Email!!!]]"
**This glitch makes it impossible to watch [[different town]], since clicking it will direct you to [[stupid stuff]] (the email before it), and clicking on [[flashback]] (the email after) always directs to emailahundred.

===Inside References===
*Bubsness is an example of a [[portmanteau]].
*Homestar's claim about Strong Mad flying away is a [[blatant lie]].

===Real-World References===
*Homestar's lines about freedom, liberty, savings, and eggs may be a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Terry Pratchett|Terry Pratchett]] novel "Night Watch" in which the slogan of a violent revolution is "Truth! Justice! Freedom! Reasonably-Priced Love! And a hard-boiled egg!"

===Fast Forward===
*Homestar Runner later asks for milk and eggs in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 13.2]].
