-	goods. The stuff regular<br>	+
-	bakeries throw away. So what<br>	+
-	if a loaf of bread is only <br>	+

-	Should I start collecting<br>	+
-	roadkill squirrels, glue<br>	+
-	cotton balls to their butts<br>	+
-	and open an 'Aftermarket<br>	+
-	Rabbit Thrift Store?' Oh,<br>	+
-	wait. Yes, I should. Thank You<br>	+

-	== There's more easter eggs strewn about this email ==	+
-		+
-	After the Horses/IT Pros joke, the chimney pipe can be clicked to show a Dullard comic about such a thing. There's also a couple of clickable squares on the Lappy screen before the TSoND; can't figure out what they do though.	+
-		+
-	Also, click on the plugs underneath the desk after the Tandy explodes for the pixelated explosion again. {{unsigned|81.178.84.219|10:57, 2 October 2006}}	+
-	:Good find :-) {{User:Loafing/sig}} 11:02, 2 October 2006 (UTC)	+
-		+
-	==Links?==	+
-	There seems to be no links on the website itself to the email, only here. How will the General Public SEE it?	+
-	--[[User:Gerkuman|Gerkuman]] 11:06, 2 October 2006 (UTC)	+
-	:It's on the email manu. Clear you cache, maybe. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 11:09, 2 October 2006 (UTC)	+
-		+
-	== Goof ==	+
-		+
-	The lappy seems to still have all its keys, despite one of them being removed in [[cliffhangers]]. --[[User:60.229.93.56|60.229.93.56]] 11:13, 2 October 2006 (UTC)	+
-	:Well spotted. You could have just added directly to the article.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 11:15, 2 October 2006 (UTC)	+
-		+
-	== resolved ?s in retirement article ==	+
-		+
-	Hello, I don't have an account, and am having trouble with the editing, so could somebody please change the "?s" in the article?  the first ? is "half-FULL bags."  the other is "italian herb-CHIPOTLE".  thanks.	+
-	:Glad to see that you did manage to change it yourself :-){{User:Loafing/sig}} 11:53, 2 October 2006 (UTC)	+
-		+
-	== Possible Read-World Reference ==	+
-		+
-	The filenames you get when you click SB's diamond are heavily truncated and abbreviated, and match the style of old DOS [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8.3 8.3] names (that's in length... 8 letters, a period, and three more letters) that were in use before long file names were made possible through Windows.  Such names were used so filenames could still be descriptive and still fit within the 8.3 limitations at the same time.  However SB's filenames are still clearly far too long to fit within 8.3 characters.  --[[User:64.195.243.2|64.195.243.2]] 14:12, 2 October 2006 (UTC)	+

-	== Lil' Brudder ==	+
-		+
-	I Noticed That When Strong Bad Is Panicing Around Under The Lappys Tail, That It Plays The Same Noise As Lil' Brudder's "Leg Failing" -- [[User:Assassinator666|Assassinator666]] 14:19, 2 October 2006 (UTC)	+
-		+
-	Actually, I think it's Homsar's walking noise.	+
-	:Oh, Didn't Realise That They're The Same. My Bad. -- [[User:Assassinator666|Assassinator666]] 14:47, 2 October 2006 (UTC)	+
-	::That sound is used A LOT on the site.  It was in cliffhangers too, when the Thnikkaman was waddling away. {{User:Saturn/sig}} 15:15, 2 October 2006 (UTC)	+
-		+
-	== Goof-Tastic ==	+
-		+
-	I Saw This, And I Think It's A Goof.	+
-	http://img1.putfile.com/thumb/10/27410375642.jpg	+
-	It's When Homestar And Strongbad Are At The Computer, And This Is From The Flash File. -- [[User:Assassinator666|Assassinator666]] 14:41, 2 October 2006 (UTC)	+
-	:Things that happen outside the frame don't count as Goofs. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 14:45, 2 October 2006 (UTC)	+
-		+
-	:: Ok, Didn't Know, Will Take Into Account In The Future -- [[User:Assassinator666|Assassinator666]] 14:47, 2 October 2006 (UTC)	+
-	::: But that would be remarkable, don't you think? &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:31, 2 October 2006 (UTC)	+
-		+
-	== Which computers? ==	+
-		+
-	I noticed the Lappy is listed as a computer for this toon along with the Tandy. Yet, the Lappy's not actually used to answer an email. Is there another reason it's listed on top? Or is that a  mistake? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 17:24, 2 October 2006 (UTC)	+
-	:I wrote that out of habbit, and I think you're right. I'll fix it. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 17:50, 2 October 2006 (UTC)	+
-		+
-	== Real World Reference ==	+
-		+
-	What about the who-dunit and the 7-eleven/Simpsons Who Shot Mr. Burns? Contest?	+
-		+
-	Also, what about the [http://www.buck-o-nine.com Buck-O-Nine] Reference?	+
-		+
-	: The contest reminds me more of the Butterfinger/Simpsons contest with who stole Bart's butterfinger or something like that. since something was STOLEN, not shot. [[User:Yadaman|Yadaman]] 23:20, 2 October 2006 (UTC)	+
-		+
-	:: forgot to mention, I'm not sure if this is true for the 7-Eleven one, but in the Butterfinger one, the person who did it was near completely unexpected and kind of a shock ending, similar to this one (we all thought it was a person, and BAM! it was the old computers). [[User:Yadaman|Yadaman]] 23:23, 2 October 2006 (UTC)	+
-		+
-	::Candies have had a long tradition of having things stolen.  Cheetos, Smarties (Canadian ones anyway), M&M's, lots of stuff.  TTATOT ftw!	+
-		+
-	==How will it check==	+
-	Should we mention that while the Tandy continued to check emails after it broke, the Compy was thrown away immediately after breaking?  I mean, how can it check an email with that gaping hole? -[[User:71.192.94.44|71.192.94.44]] 19:10, 2 October 2006 (UTC)	+
-	:Guess we'll find out tomorrow, eh? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]	+
-	:Remember, this is the Talk for this page, not the Forum. As for noting that the Tandy checked emails after breaking, that's already noted on the Tandy page, and it wouldn't belong here anyway. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 19:17, 2 October 2006 (UTC)	+
-		+
-	make a bigger hole duh!	+
-		+
-	== Back button added late? ==	+
-		+
-	Can anyone else verify that the Back button did not originally appear? I watched this a couple hours ago and I could swear there wasn't a Back button that time around. [[User:Octan|Octan]] 21:08, 2 October 2006 (UTC)	+
-	:It was definitely there half an hour after release.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 21:29, 2 October 2006 (UTC)	+
-		+
-	== Can I get a witness? ==	+
-		+
-	No real-world reference for this?  My first thought was actually Grand Funk Railroad's "Some Kind of Wonderful" (which I have heard), but after some research I suppose the often-covered [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Can_I_Get_a_Witness Marvin Gaye title] (which I have not heard) is more likely.	+
-	:There's no real-world reference because the fact is [[HRWiki:Glossary#T|TTATOT]]. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}} 21:59, 2 October 2006 (UTC)	+
-		+
-	::Besides Gaye's and GFR's songs, there's Frank Black's song. All three were suggested as references, but they can't all be, so no reference. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:07, 2 October 2006 (UTC)	+
-		+
-	== Sad eyes? ==	+
-	[[Image:Sadbad.png|thumb|The saddest of Bads...]]	+
-	At the beginning, Strong Bad's eyes are sad (the top halves are taken off). Isn't this noteworthy since it doesn't happen very often?	+
-	:I don't recall it ever happening. Let's get a few more keen observers to chime in though. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:28, 2 October 2006 (UTC)	+
-	::Wait... that [[:Image:sbemail127.png|has]] happened before... {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:52, 2 October 2006 (UTC)	+
-	:'''EC''' It ''is'' a rare occurrence, and it was noted at its first appearance in [[long pants]].  I tend to think that the "coming in on a worried Strong Bad" bit in the transcript is sufficient for this article, since it has happened and has been noted before. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 22:56, 2 October 2006 (UTC)	+
-	{{clear}}	+
-	But in the long pants one, he's showing exasperation. In this one it's slanted for sadness. Just saying...	+
-	:They're just partially closed. Or open, depending on your attitude. Either way, we're seeing his eyelids. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 01:44, 3 October 2006 (UTC)	+
-		+
-	== DULLARD = Dilbert ==	+
-		+
-	I think it's pretty clear that Dullard by "Levert Burtmore" is a reference to Dilbert by Scott Adams. Do we need a vote on this or should I just go ahead and add it? --[[User:Sailor titan|Sailor titan]] 22:20, 2 October 2006 (UTC)	+
-	:Already mentioned on the [[Dullard (comic)|Dullard]] page. {{User:Saturn/sig}} 22:22, 2 October 2006 (UTC)	+
-		+
-	== Saving the orphanage ==	+
-		+
-	The remark about saving the orphanage reminded me of the Blues Brothers, but I'll let you guys decide if it's worthy enough for the real-world references section.	+
-		+
-	First thing that came to my mind. Glad I'm not the only one Anonny. I say yes! -- [[User: TaranchulaVamp15|TaranchulaVamp15]] -- Here, now, on my time.	+
-		+
-	== extra buttons? ==	+
-		+
-	dont know what they do but did anyone else notice 2 small useless buttons on the lappy's screen in the rooftop scene?	+
-		+
-	==Goof==	+
-		+
-	In the Flash version, when Strong Bad is slinking off to Bubs' Concession Stand, when Strong Bad goes out of the frame, his body disappears.	+
-		+
-	== What year is it? ==	+
-		+
-	How many times now has Strong Bad gotten the year wrong?  There's #150, there's the comic convention, this one, any others?	+
