{reading}

Dear Strong Bad,

I think the Cheat is the coolest
thing ever, but why can't I
understand him?  Please tell the
Cheat to talk normal.

Sincerely,

Cory, North Dakota

{typing}

Whoa. The entire town of Cory, North Dakota decided to e-mail me. That was nice of them.

{Strong Bad's voice echoes and sounds like it's coming out of a megaphone}

Citizens of Cory! Thank you for your email. Hang on, let me get The Cheat.

{Strong Bad turns around in his chair and calls for The Cheat, his voice normal}

Hey, the Che- Oh. The Cheat.

{Strong Bad sees that The Cheat is standing beside him}

Some town here can't understand you. Say something normal, like-er-um-uhhh... Douglas.

THE CHEAT: [The Cheat talk]

STRONG BAD: Douglas.

THE CHEAT: [some more The Cheat talk]

STRONG BAD: Douglas!

THE CHEAT: [the same exclamation as the first time]

STRONG BAD: {turning back to his computer} Well, I guess you can't expect much from a furry little man who hangs out with my brother all day. Speaking of...

{Strong Bad turns around again, calling for Strong Mad}

Hey, Strong Ma- Whoa!

{He sees that Strong Mad is standing beside him.}

Strong Mad. Say Douglas.

STRONG MAD: DAAHH!!!

STRONG BAD: Douglas.

STRONG MAD: DAAAAAAHHH!!!

STRONG BAD: Douglas!

STRONG MAD: Dah?

STRONG BAD: {turning back to his computer again} So, there you have it, people of Cory, North Dakota. Eh- oh. Hang on a second.

{Strong Bad turns away again}

Hey! Strong Sad!

{Strong Sad arrives}

STRONG SAD: Douglas!

{Strong Bad hits him in the stomach with the keyboard}

STRONG BAD: So, there you have it, people of Cory, North Dakota. The Cheat can't say anything normal, like Douglas.

{Something that sounds like "Douglas" is heard off to the left and (Strong Bad turns around}

STRONG BAD: What the- Who said Douglas?

{"Douglas" is heard again, but then it cuts to a window}

STRONG BAD: Oh, wait, it's just the branch of that old sycamore rubbing against the window. It was nothing to worry about after all.

{Strong Bad turns back to his computer again}

STRONG BAD: So, I guess you guys are just gonna have to learn how to speak The Cheat. I know a little myself... You know, like, [speaks some Cheat], and, um, [speaks more Cheat], you know... I don't know what any of that means, but, uh, it really seems to tick The Cheat off when I say it, so, I say it to him all the time. Anyways, give it up for me! ... Guys?

Easter Eggs

• At the very end of this you can click on "you guys" to bring up a goofy Cory ND postcard. (Somewhat like the one from vacation)
• At the very end of this you can also click on the words, "Learn How to Speak The Cheat" to get a sample from the LP.

Fun Facts

• The Cheat Phrases and what they mean:
  • "Menameh, meNAHmanama" is a phrase The Cheat used to offer to offer Homestar a glass of melonade in A Jumping Jack Contest and apparently means "Hey, Homestar, would you like 147 glasses of melonade?"
  • "Menamana, {Sudden drop in pitch} MAHna is the phrase The Cheat use when Homestar (Strong Bad) asked what he thought of The King of Town's pumpkin at the Pumpkin Carve-nival and apparently means "The King of Town is SO lame."
  • "!ManaMAna?!" is what he says in superhero name before Strong Bad says the cape looks great. It means "What, don't you like this costume?"
  • "Humana, (can't make out the rest)" is what he said to Strong Bad in sb_email 22 and means "Check it out, this is going to be great. Just say 'Screw all y'all!'."
• Later on in this email, Strong Bad hits Strong Sad with a keyboard and Strong Sad says, �Douglas.� It�s Mike saying �Douglas,� not Matt. [1]
• Strong Mad finally says "DOUGLAS!" at the end of sibbie. Watch the whole thing then click on the pile driven radio.
• The LP was made by Thorax, also known as Thorax Corporation.
• It's apparently winter at the time Strong Bad answers this email, for it is snowing out the window.
• I don't really know if this is a fun fact, but when Strong Bad types "Hang on a second." and calls "Hey, Strong Sad!", the screen says "Hnag on a second."
• When Strong Bad calls for Strong Mad, while he's talking to him, the screen says, Citizens of Cory!...yadayada. Like the way it was before he called Strong Mad in there.
