{The "dear strong bad" echoes. Strong Bad pronounces "jamie ericson" as "hamiay eric-SON".}

STRONG BAD: {typing} That's so funny that you should say that Jamie, because I was just thinking how bored I am with your butt, and your face, and your snotty nose.{Pronounces "jamie" as an unintelligible mumble; "snotty nose" echoes.}

I guess the NO LOAFING sign could take a cue from the fast food, soft drink, and bad sports team industries and combat bad sales and decades of losing with a slick logo redesign.

First you squish it, skew it, and turn it all around. Squish it, skew it, and turn it all around.

Then we need to make it all fast and slick and shiny like Flo Jo in a tuxedo. Flo Jo in a tuxedo.

Now it's time to play Color Wheel Roulette. No Whammies, no Whammies.

Awww... Ouch, man.

Now, just when you think you're done, you gotta dip it in molten Plexiglass to give it that "children under 3 are sure to choke on it" goodness.

Oh, wait. Almost forgot the fangs

Well, I don't know how we're going to print it out, seeing as how someone sliced off the back of your monitor. And quit rubbing that plastic bar of soap on the desk. You clearly don't have what it takes to bring NO LOAFING into the digital age. But I does!

Fresh from elementary school cafetoriums and lotto machines comes one of those actually pretty hard to read message board signs...

Easter Eggs

• Click on the "No Loafing" sign when Strong Bad is playing color wheel roulette with it to see the box design for color wheel roulette - stupid home edition.
• When "Do Loafing" starts to scroll by on the sign, click it to see a bumper sticker for Sucky Mountain, Colorado.
• At the end, click on "Jerk" which gives a "conversation" between the Cheats' version of the No Loafing sign and a Coach Z sign:

THE CHEAT'S NO LOAFING SIGN: (Purrs, Growls and then finally Roars) COACH Z SIGN: (After roar) (runs away) Yorp, yorp, yorp, (exits) yorp
