The two weeks following [[different town]] were filled with much angst, as faithful [[Strong Bad Email]] fans woke up on those Monday mornings without a new Email. After being teased by [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 5]], [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 10.2]], and [[Puppet Time]], many people were getting impatient waiting for [[flashback|the 100th Strong Bad Email]]. Several of these people went so far as to check the expected URL for the Email directly, in hopes that they could see the Email as soon as possible. The only way this could be done was to type "http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail100.html" into their address bar, since this address would follow the format used for the previous ninety-nine Emails. These users kept getting the usual [[404'd]] page, until about 2:20 a.m. (EST) on Tuesday, March 16, 2004, which was when they were greeted by '''[[Not the 100th Email!!!]]''', a cartoon resembling the [[Wikipedia:Internet Explorer 6|Internet Explorer 6]] error page in which [[Strong Bad]] taunts the viewer for trying to take a sneak peak at the 100th Email and [[Homestar Runner]] adds to the hilarity. At the end, the viewer is told to "keep [their] [[pants]] on, [[for real]]". This is also one of very few pre-2007 toons to have not yet been released on DVD. {{watch|sbemail100.html}} '''[[Not the 100th Email!!!|(more...)]]'''

"Cool tapes are cool and we like it like that!"

Cool Tapes is a band formed by Marzipan in the toon Cool Things. It takes its name and logo from some graffiti Homestar Runner wrote on Marzipan's wall. When Homestar went to go fetch some paint to cover it up, Marzipan tells Homestar he "took too long" to get the paint, and she, The Cheat, and Strong Mad formed a band with the name "Cool Tapes". Its members consist of Marzipan on guitar/vocals, Strong Mad on bass, and The Cheat on drums. Currently, they have seven known songs, but only four titles have been verified. The band's name is mentioned in almost all of their songs. The band went on tour through many bead shops and topiary gardens during June 2006 (according to Weclome Back), where Homsar sold "StEVEN INCHES" at their merchandise table for pi dollars. When the band competed in the Battle Royale of the Bands, they lost after Marzipan wrote a song about the "not very nice" things she suspected judges Limozeen of performing. (more...)
