Transcript
{Open to Compy 386; Strong Bad is absent. Homestar Runner walks in and sits down at the computer.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Hello, class. Strong Bad could not be here today, so I will be filling in. My name is Homestar Runner. {with a piece of chalk he writes his name on the screen, then erases it.} Everyone please take out paper and a number 2 pencil, and we'll begin. {Homestar types "sb_enail.com", rather than the usual "strongbad_email.exe", to run the e-mail program, and strangely enough, it works.} Lesson one:
{He begins reading the e-mail.}
hi Strong Bad,
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {stops reading} Um, I do believe I just told you my name is Homestar Runner. But I'll let it slide this time. {resumes reading}
have you ever made anything out of anything? bye Dan from FL
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {typing} FL? Far-off Lands? Foreign Leadership Camp? Fish Lake? {stops typing} Oh, I got it. He's from Fish Lake. {resumes typing} Well, Jerome, I once made a birthday present for Marzipan out of some of my old CD's I didn't like anymore and placed them in a decorative bag. {stops typing} And then {resumes typing} I once made breakfast out of cold pizza and half and half. Oh! And one time I made a whole set of coasters out of {cut to some glasses of melonade sitting on game cartridges} some old Sega tapes. And I made a pair of shoes --
{Cut to Coach Z and Strong Sad out in the field talking. Strong Sad has a Foreign Leadership Camp '91 T-shirt on. Homestar walks on wearing shoe-boxes for shoes.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {continues in voice-over} -- out of a pair of shoe-boxes.
COACH Z: Whoa, those are some fresh kicks there, Homestar!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Thanks, I know! {walks off}
COACH Z: So anyways, Reg had the ball at the top o' the key.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {typing at Compy again} But this week, I will instruct you on how to make a wet computer out of Strong Bad's computer.
{The Cheat walks on in a red outfit, but is instantly knocked off-screen when Homestar stands up.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: First, you need a 2-liter bottle of Mountain Dew. Then get Strong Bad's computer. Apply liberally. {starts pouring Mountain Dew on Strong Bad's keyboard, a ringing noise is heard.} Oops, we're out of time.
STRONG SAD: {off screen} That's just my egg-timer!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Class dismissed! {glaring at the screen angrily} Except for you, Jerome!
{The paper comes down. The Mountain Dew continues to be poured into Strong Bad's keyboard. After around 10 seconds or so of this...}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Dang. This thing's like... the never-ending soda. {sings} Never-ending so-oda! A-a-a, a-a-a, a-a-a...
