-		+

-		+
-	'''FAT DUDLEY''': ''{makes musical noises}''	+

-	'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': You said it Fat Duds. We sure could buy a lot of corn pone with 27 big ones.	+
-		+
-	''{The conversation is being watched in a telescope; pan to the right of the long telescope, where actually no one is watching, but Old-Timey Strong Bad stands nearby reading a paper}''	+
-		+
-	'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD''': Says here in the news-papper that the encapturement of the new apparition garners a top reward of 26 and one pennies!	+
-		+
-	''{Cut to Old-Timey Strong Bad, Strong Man and The Sneak}''	+
-		+

-	''{The Sneak moves his nose}''	+
-		+
-	''{Danger music. Cut to The Homestar Runner, Old-Timey Marzipan and Fat Dudley in front of a spooky house with a gate signed 'Pietimer'}''	+
-		+
-	'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Let's check out the old Pietimer place.	+
-		+
-	'''OLD-TIMEY MARZIPAN''': We should split up.	+
-		+
-	'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': We can do more damage that way.	+
-		+
-	''{They walk in. Old-Timey Marzipan looks under a cup.}''	+
-		+

-		+
-	'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Hmm. Let's see. Maybe it's in here.	+
-		+
-	''{He removes a book labelled 'A Goodtime Story', the only book not related to ghosts or monsters. Opening it, a moth flies out.}''	+
-		+
-	'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Just a moth. ''{He tries to eat the moth, but it flies off.}'' Dernit!	+
-		+
-	''{Old-Timey Marzipan looks under a plate.}''	+
-		+

-		+
-	''{The Homestar Runner walks past two portraits. The one marked 'Mr. Pietimer' follows him with its eyes.}''	+
-		+
-	'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': That picturemadrawin' looks sur-spicious. ''{He lifts it off the wall, revealing two one-eyed crows with a label reading "The Guys".}'' It's just two weird one-eyed crows. Ah, phooey.	+
-		+
-	''{Cut to Fat Dudley amidst some barrels, with a cigar and a jug marked 'XXX'. The Homestar Runner pops out of a barrel.}''	+

-		+
-	''{Outside the house again, with the gate behind them.}''	+
-		+
-	'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Aw, there's no ghosts here. Just a bunch of gross aminals. Let's go look somewheres else.	+
-		+
-	''{Cut to 'Cholera Acres Cemetary', then to Old-Timey Strong Bad and The Sneak in front of Eustice Pietimer's grave (skinflint and junk codger).}''	+

-		+
-	'''STRONG MAN''': Raaar!	+
-		+
-	''{The Sneak stands on his hind legs and moves his nose.}''	+
-		+
-	'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD''': What what? Why, no! Of course that's not just the Strong Man holding a shovel! It's my newest invention! Besides, the Strong Man's over there doing some manner of stylish jig!	+
-		+
-	''{Cut to Strong Man, who is now doing a stylish jig on an unmarked grave (son of mark grave). Old-Timey Bubs' head comes up out of the grave.}''	+
-		+
-	'''OLD-TIMEY BUBS''': ''{wheezily}'' Would you please keep it down?	+
-		+
-	''{Cut to The Homestar Runner, Old-Timey Marzipan and Fat Dudley in the 'Punkin Patch'.}''	+
-		+
-	'''OLD-TIMEY MARZIPAN''': The Homestar Runner, I'm s-s-s-s-scared! ''{pronouncing each "s" as a separate entity, almost as "suh-suh-suh"}''	+
-		+
-	'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Scared of what? Punkins? They're just punkins.	+
-		+
-	'''OLD-TIMEY MARZIPAN''': But I'm s-s-s-s-S-scared!	+
-		+

-		+
-	''{Sickly Sam rises out of the grave, and floats above it.}''	+
-		+
-	'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': That's no ghost. That's just our worst friend Sickly Sam.	+
-		+
-	'''SICKLY SAM''':(soft voice) I bury myself alive on Tuesdays.	+
-		+
-	'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD''': Criminy crickets! Foiled again!	+
-		+
-	'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Then where's the real ghost?	+
-		+

-		+
-	'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{eyes bulging}'' Wa-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a. (rather than screaming, he merely 'says' his scream.)''{his skin falls off, leaving his skeleton}''	+

-	'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD''': Wa-a-a-a-a-a! (see note for The Homestar Runner.)''{his skin also falls off, leaving his skeleton too}''	+

-	THE END	+
-		+
-	== Easter Eggs ==	+
-	*At the end, click on the "D" in "THE END" to see Old-Timey Strong Bad shopping for gold pants.	+
-	''{Show Old-Timey Strong Bad's skeleton in a clothing store, trying to pull up a pair of pants, but they continue to fall down. Strong Man's skeleton is in the background.}''<br>	+
-	'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Curses! Now I'll never find gold pants that fit this tiny waist!	+
-		+
-	== Fun Facts ==	+
-		+
-	===Trivia===	+
-	*This is the first cartoon featuring the "[[Old-Timey]]" characters in the far-flung year of 1937.	+
-	*This is Sickly Sam's first appearance where he does not "die".	+
-	*The other books on the bookshelf read:	+
-	**Dead Things Book One	+
-	**Ghostly Measures	+
-	**27 Cent Ghosties	+
-	**The Ghost In My Pocket	+
-	**Creepiness, Oh My!	+
-	**There Is A Ghost In This Book	+
-	**A Goodtime Story (The book Homestar grabs)	+
-	**Banshees, Indeed!	+
-	**Ghastly Monsters	+
-	**Zombies Are Cool	+
-	*[[Wikipedia:Corn pone|Corn pone]] is a bread-like dish made from corn meal that is traditionally fried in butter, lard or bacon grease. It's a popular food in the southern United States.	+
-		+
-	====Skeletons====	+
-	=====Marzipan=====	+
-	* Her ponytails have bones in them.	+
-	* Marzipan's skeleton also reveals that her "skirt" has its own skeletal structure. This is in agreement with [[The House that Gave Sucky Treats]], where contemporary Marzipan wore jeans with a hole near the hem, and skin was visible underneath.	+
-		+
-	=====Strong Bad=====	+
-	* His Moustache has bones in it.	+
-	* Strong Bad's skeleton also shows that his shoes have bones, or else that his feet are shoe-shaped.	+
-	* His hands look like his "gentleman's sports gloves", which proves that he doesn't just wear them; those are really what his hands look like.  The same would then apply to modern-day Strong Bad's boxing gloves, and maybe even his mask, which is consistent with his response in the email "[[some kinda robot]]."	+
-	* He has no visible mouth- it may be behind his mustache, which moves when he talks.	+
-	* There is a crack in his skull showing exposed brain; this is similar to his modern counterpart's head injury in "[[Marshmallow's Last Stand (toon)|Marshmallow's Last Stand]]".	+
-		+
-	===Explanations===	+
-	*A [http://m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=skinflint skinflint] is a person who would save, gain, or extort money by any means.	+
-	*A [http://m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=codger codger] is a mildly eccentric and usually elderly fellow.	+
-		+
-	===Remarks===	+
-	*Based on the tombstones in Cholera Acres Cemetary, Sir Rondello Shmallow could be [[Mr. Shmallow (character)|Mr. Shmallow]]'s full name.	+
-	*The theme for Old-Timey Strong Bad is different from that of his previous appearances.	+
-	*The Homestar Runner's voice isn't as scratchy and Fat Dudley's voice is deeper than in [[Parsnips-A-Plenty]].	+
-		+
-	===Goofs===	+
-	*The two one-eyed crows eyeballs do not match up with the painting after the painting is removed.	+
-		+
-	===Inside References===	+
-	*The page title, "Bury Me Deep I'm Cold and Clammy!” is taken from an interview with [[Matt Chapman]] in which he says this line as [[Homsar]]. The interview can be seen [http://members.shaw.ca/kevinscott/Homestar/index.html here].	+
-	*When The Homestar Runner's eyes balloon up in fright this is similar to The Cheat in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]].	+
-	*On one of the Gravestones, it reads, "Sir Rondello Schmallow 'Look Lively?'" This is a reference to the [[Mr. Shmallow (toon)|Mr. Shmallow]] toon, in which he says many times, "Look lively!!!"	+
-		+
-	===Real-World References===	+
-	*The Old Pietimer Place looks inspired by the house from [[Wikipedia:Alfred Hitchcock|Alfred Hitchcock's]] masterpiece, [[Wikipedia:Psycho|Psycho]].	+
-	*The quote "[http://www.wavsite.com/sounds/20017/ghost05.wav let's split up, we can do more damage that way]" is a reference to the 1984 film ''[[IMDB:tt0087332|Ghostbusters]]''.	+
-	*The Homestar Runner says the "news-papper" is offering a reward of 27 cents. This may have come from an old ''[http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0054524/ Rocky and Bullwinkle]'' show when [[Wikipedia:Rocket J. Squirrel|Rocky]] offers a 27-cent reward for the capture of the Boxtop Bandit.	+
-	*The sound effect of the spiders scattering from under the mirror is taken from the [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time enemies|Skulltulas]] in the Spider Houses in ''[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]''. This sound also appears in [[RhinoFeeder]].	+
-	*Fat Dudley eating the shoe may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Charlie Chaplin|Charlie Chaplin's]] ''[[IMDB:tt0015864|The Gold Rush]]''.	+
-		+
-	===Fast Forward===	+
-	*'Cory' is also shown in the [[Main Page 22]] by removing the cursor off of the 'downloads' link.	+
