==Fun Facts==
==Fun Facts==
-
 
+
*When this email was first put up, TBC messed up the menu so every email was one number off, meaning that clicking [[virus]] took you to [[montage]] and clicking [[some kinda robot]] took you to a 404'd sbemail0 page.
-
===Explanations===
+
*This toon replaced the Compy 386 email menu after its destruction in [[virus]], and doubled as the replacement email menu.
-
*A "{{w|Lemon (automobile)|lemon}}", which Homestar refers to, is a defective car.
+
*This toon also has a different filename than the usual Strong Bad email menu, so instead of being "sbemail.swf," it was "sbemail_shotgunned.swf"
-
 
+
*When the Tandy 400 exploded, [[Broken Tandy Menu]] similarly replaced the usual email menu.
-
===Trivia===
+
*The [[Compy 386]] is missing the contrast dial.
-
*When the [[Tandy 400]] exploded, the [[Broken Tandy Menu]] similarly replaced the usual email menu.
+
-
 
+
-
===Remarks===
+
-
*This toon has a different filename than the usual Compy 386 Strong Bad email menu; instead of being "[[OldHR:sbemail.swf|sbemail.swf]]", it is "[[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===
+
-
*On the email list, [[flashback]] leads to "emailahundred.html", a [[404'd]] page, instead of the intended "sbemailahundred.html".
+
-
*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.
+
-
 
+
-
===Expired Glitches===
+
-
*Before it was removed, after the animation played, the list of emails counted up from 0 instead of 1, so clicking on a title would direct the viewer to the email one previous to it. This also meant that [[some kinda robot]] directed to the nonexistent 'sbemail0.html' and [[virus]] could only be accessed from the menu by clicking the very top of the word ''virus''.
+
-
**Similarly, after the animation, [[car]] linked to sbemail100.html, "[[Sbemail 100 fakeout]]".
+
-
**This glitch made it impossible to watch [[different town]], since clicking it led 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 {{w|Terry Pratchett}} novel ''{{w|Night Watch (Discworld)|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]].
