STRONG BAD: Thanks for choosing Strong Bad Email. Would you like to try a combo meal?
{reading}
Hey strong bad, Dude, I was just thinkin and wonderin what it would be like if you weren't the stylish, buff, handsome man in a wrestling mask that you are. Your devoted fan, Jordan
{Strong Bad pronounces "Jordan" as "Jor-dan."}
STRONG BAD: {typing} So you mean, like, what would it be like if I was an ugly dumpy guy with a beer belly and a comb-over? I'd still probably be the coolest guy in the world, just a different kind of cool. More of a "I'm so cool, you don't even know I'm cool" kind of cool. Or the kind of cool where
Cut to what is presumably Strong Bad walking in the field. We can only see him from the waist down. He is dragging a plastic ALDI bag}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} I'm always walking around with a plastic grocery bag full of mysterious unknown contents. Maybe it's cold pizza. Maybe it's rotten vegetables. Or maybe it's the shattered pieces of my former life.
{Camera pans up during the dialogue and we see this version of Strong Bad has a creepy comb-over, beer tummy, goatee, and glasses. Cut to Bubs' concession stand, where Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad gets in line.}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} Or maybe it's just full of a bunch of melty candy bars that I eat really loudly while standing too close to you in line.
{Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad pulls out a melty candy bar and starts munching.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {to Pom Pom} Hey, Pom Pom! This guy smells like pea soup. {Singing, to Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad} You smell like pea soooup!
{Cut to a small bush. We see Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad slowly rise up from behind it.}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} And then I'd always be suspiciously coming out of bushes and shrubs a lot. Like, right when you walk by.
{Homestar walks by the bush}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} And if I see you—
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {surprised} Whoa!
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} I'd say some cool phrase that's almost one word and not quite another.
CREEPY COMB-OVER STRONG BAD: {to Homestar Runner} Oh, excardon me!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {singing} Um, I don't know what that means.... And you still smell like pea soooup!
{Cut to Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad and Strong Mad standing in the field. CCOSB has dropped his glasses on the ground}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} And I'd be so cool, that even if you were a dude, I'd still call at you like you were a lady.
CREEPY COMB-OVER STRONG BAD: {To Strong Mad; he says one of following three things every time you watch it:}
{1} I'm very sorry, ma'am, but could you help an old denominator, like me, gather his spectacles?
{2} I'm sorry, ma'am. Would you mind helping an old wintergreen gather his spectacles?
{3} Sorry to bother you, ma'am. Could you help an old Soderbergh gather his spectacles?
STRONG MAD: NOOOOOOOOO!
{Strong Mad runs away. Cut to Strong Bad back in front of the computer.}
STRONG BAD: {typing} That's a pretty cool guy right there. It's good to know that if I ever let myself go and grow a couple feet...live behind a bush... I'll be sitting pretty.
{Cut to Strong Sad standing next to Strong Bad}
STRONG SAD: Uh, excardon me, but none of that stuff is cool, Strong Bad. You basically described that creep Señor Cardgage that lived down the street from us when we were little.
STRONG BAD: What!? You didn't think Senor {He pronounces it "seh-nor."} Cardgage was cool?
STRONG SAD: No! He was extremely sketchy and gave me nightmares.
STRONG BAD: And... What's not cool about giving you nightmares?
STRONG SAD: Oh, never mind. Go back to your creepy comb-over story.
STRONG BAD: Anyways, Jor-dan, creepy comb-over story Strong Bad is definitely a cool, cool guy. In fact, I wouldn't mind hanging out with a guy like that. Well, things certainly are looking up for the future. Me, I'm gonna go look up Senor Cardgage. {stops typing.} See where that guy ended up.
{The Paper comes down.}

STRONG BAD: So, uh, you're really cool.
SENOR CARDGAGE: Thank you, ma'am, would you care for a slice of gum?
STRONG BAD: Yeah, totally, I'd be way into a slice of gum. {to himself} Man! So cool! {to Senor Cardgage} Uh... Say something else.

Fun Facts
Trivia
- Strong Bad actually says the word "beer" in this e-mail, which is the first time that the word has been said on the website. Until then it was always "Cold Ones."
Remarks
- Jordan asks what Strong Bad would be like if he "weren't that buff, handsome, and stylish man in a wrestling mask that he is," but Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad still has the wrestling mask. This is probably because with Strong Bad, it is given that he has the wrestling mask. It is as if someone asked a normal guy "What if you weren't that buff, handsome, and stylish man that you are."
- Strong Sad says Señor Cardgage, but his name is spelled Senor.
- Strong Bad pronounces it differently (to Strong Sad and when he went to look for Senor Cardgage), saying it without the tilde.
Goofs
- In line, both Pom Pom and Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad have a shadow, but Homestar doesn't.
Real-World References
- Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad is dragging a grocery bag from ALDI, a discount supermarket chain.
- "Soderbergh" could be a reference to Steven Soderbergh, who directed the films Sex, Lies, and Videotape, Erin Brockovich, the remake of Ocean's Eleven, and more.
DVD Version
- The alternate pieces of dialogue for "calling at you like you were a lady" are still there, but now only viewable as Easter eggs at the end of the Email (by the hidden Strong Bad icons in the center-left and center-right of the bottom of the Compy 386 screen).
