+ | Dear Strong Bad, <br /> | ||
+ | Got some ?'s for you: <br /> | ||
+ | 1. What would you do with a hundred million dollars? <br /> | ||
+ | 2. What would you do if you suddenly found yourself in an alternate universe somehow? <br /> | ||
+ | Jody (not a girl), TX | ||

+ | |||
+ | ''{Strong Bad says "question marks" for "?'s", and "Texas" for "TX".}'' | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''STRONG BAD:''' ''{says everything inside parentheses normally}'' Ya know, you could probably ditch that (not a girl) thing, if you just replaced it with something tough and cool and kool and tuff. Like (Bulldozer). Jody (Bulldozer). Nobody's gonna think that guy's a girl. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Well Ms. Dozer, you pretty much answered question mark #1 with question mark #2. Cuz a hundred million dollars is exactly how much The Cheat spent on our alternate universe portal. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ''{Cut to a wide view of the desk. The Cheat is standing to the right of the Lappy with a blender. A Nintendo Gamebody is in the blender.}'' | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''STRONG BAD:''' Isn't that right The Cheat? | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}'' | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''STRONG BAD:''' What? This thing only cost us fourteen bucks? | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Agreement noise}'' | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''STRONG BAD:''' Well... that's like a hundred million dollars in... dog years, right? | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Single "squeak"}'' | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''STRONG BAD:''' ''{leans towards The Cheat suddenly}'' All right! Mash go on that blender! | ||
+ | |||
+ | ''{Camera zooms out a little as The Cheat presses a button on the blender, which causes it to activate. The blender shoots out white bolts as the the lighting in the room flashes. Soon after, the blender stops (Gamebody intact), and there is a large swirl to the right of the desk.}'' | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''STRONG BAD:''' Oh-ho-ho! Swirly photoshopped magic! I bet this thing could release some serious Cacodemons. So... ''{The Cheat turns to face Strong Bad}'' what? I ju-just jump in? | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}'' | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''STRONG BAD:''' ''{leaning backwards}'' Obi-kabi! ''{Strong Bad jumps off the stool and towards the swirl}'' Jump! | ||

+ | ''{As soon as Strong Bad touches the swirl, everything turns black and white with the exception of the swirl and Strong Bad, who distorts horizontally and vertically. He "springs" into the swirl.

subject: alternate univer$eDear Strong Bad,
Got some ?'s for you:
1. What would you do with a hundred million dollars?
2. What would you do if you suddenly found yourself in an alternate universe somehow?
Jody (not a girl), TX
{Strong Bad says "question marks" for "?'s", and "Texas" for "TX".}
STRONG BAD: {says everything inside parentheses normally} Ya know, you could probably ditch that (not a girl) thing, if you just replaced it with something tough and cool and kool and tuff. Like (Bulldozer). Jody (Bulldozer). Nobody's gonna think that guy's a girl.
Well Ms. Dozer, you pretty much answered question mark #1 with question mark #2. Cuz a hundred million dollars is exactly how much The Cheat spent on our alternate universe portal.
{Cut to a wide view of the desk. The Cheat is standing to the right of the Lappy with a blender. A Nintendo Gamebody is in the blender.}
STRONG BAD: Isn't that right The Cheat?
THE CHEAT: {The Cheat noises}
STRONG BAD: What? This thing only cost us fourteen bucks?
THE CHEAT: {Agreement noise}
STRONG BAD: Well... that's like a hundred million dollars in... dog years, right?
THE CHEAT: {Single "squeak"}
STRONG BAD: {leans towards The Cheat suddenly} All right! Mash go on that blender!
{Camera zooms out a little as The Cheat presses a button on the blender, which causes it to activate. The blender shoots out white bolts as the the lighting in the room flashes. Soon after, the blender stops (Gamebody intact), and there is a large swirl to the right of the desk.}
STRONG BAD: Oh-ho-ho! Swirly photoshopped magic! I bet this thing could release some serious Cacodemons. So... {The Cheat turns to face Strong Bad} what? I ju-just jump in?
THE CHEAT: {The Cheat noises}
STRONG BAD: {leaning backwards} Obi-kabi! {Strong Bad jumps off the stool and towards the swirl} Jump!
{As soon as Strong Bad touches the swirl, everything turns black and white with the exception of the swirl and Strong Bad, who distorts horizontally and vertically. He "springs" into the swirl. Cut to a panel of a comic strip. There is a picture of some buildings. At the top of the panel is a caption saying "IN A BULDING..."}

STRONG BAD: {looking to the right} It's Strong Badman! And his well drawn abs! {loooks to the left} But... why are we in a crappy apartment instead of a secret underground lair... {looks back to the right} ...filled with secret underground gadgets?
{Next panel. Strong Badman's upper body and head is in front of a blue background.}
STRONG BADMAN: Because mere mortal... this apartment...

STRONG BAD: {walking in from left} So, that's your evil plan? To waste water?
STRONG BADMAN: And not pay for it!!
STRONG BAD: I gotta tell ya, Strong Badman... this part of your comic is pretty boring. I'm gonna see what's going on furthur down the page. {Strong Bad jumps out of the current panel and falls down three panels. There is a woman with a sword sitting on a giant robotic snake.} Oh!
