An e-marlin breaks the glimmering surface of the Lappy.

The e-marlin is a figurative ASCII art marlin that is used in a fish-related metaphor by Strong Bad in the Email, dreamail. Strong Bad notes that while there are many "email-fish" out there in the "Email sea", most of them are "those nasty bottom-feeders with the suckhole mouth" (probably referring to Jawless fish). However, once in a while a few of these email-fish break the glimmering surface of the water, to glisten in the sunset for a few fleeting moments, such as the e-marlin. Strong Bad quickly ditches the fishing metaphor.

The only time and e-marlin can actually be seen is by clicking an easter egg of the word "e-marlin". It will jump up from the bottom of the Lappy 486 screen in an arc, leaving several "\" and "/" splashes, and dive back down to wherever it came from.

ASCII version

While it is technically impossible to create an ASCII version of the e-marlin identical to the one found in dreamail, this ASCII version is proportionate to the e-marlin.
