User:The Paper

Hello, I have taken the glorious task of representing The Paper. You know, that personified sheet of paper that comes down at the end of nearly every Strong Bad Email. As for my duties, I am currently a forum administrator over at StrongFans Forum but I still try to be faithful here as well. I actively contributed on Ye Olde Wiki shortly upon discovering the world of Homestar Runner when the process was the newest Strong Bad Email, circa July 2003.

The Paper at work! Preeeeow.

Future after Strong Bad Email #173?

Is obsolescence in the distant future?

In montage, we learn that Strong Bad will be replacing The Paper with an inkjet version come Strong Bad Email #173. Hopefully The Brothers Chaps will have forgotten about this by then. However, if they do remember, we can estimate how much longer The Paper has to live. Let's say there are three new Strong Bad Emails added each month. This will likely not be the case, since there are toons and other updates on many Mondays. Provided TBC do not discontinue updating, that works out to little over a year of emails with The Paper in them. However, some people will tell you that TBC were obviously joking when they wrote about The Paper in montage, as the caption uses words in the past tense, including "stuck" and "upgraded".
