Strong Bad: {singing} Email: It�s like the sugar on the candy for my stuff.
{reading email}
Dear Strong Bad,
Could you please do your impression of Strong Sad?
Thanks, Your friend... And there�s no name. Um... Thanks, Your friend... Jhonka. {He types "Jhonka" under "Your Friend".}
{He begins typing a reply.}
No way, Jhonka! What a coincidence! I was just on my way out the door to go to the annual Strong Sad Lookalike Contest where contestants are judged on appearance, impression and penmanship. I�m a shoo-in this year, man. Wait�ll you see my costume! {He runs off only to run back a few seconds later to quickly add}: Not beatin� around the bush this week. {He runs off again.}
{Cut to The Field. Coach Z is standing under a sign that reads: "2003 Sectional Finals - STRONG SAD LOOKALIKE CONTEST".}
Coach Z: Okay, I�d like to welcome everybody back! Hope you enjoyed your intermission there. Bubs, the hot cold cuts was great!
Bubs: {off screen} Those were moist towelettes!
Coach Z: So without further ado, I�d like to introduce the man of the hour, the deathly pallor: Strong Sad!!
{Strong Sad Joins Coach Z under the sign}
The King of Town off screen: Booo!
Strong Sad: Thank you! Thank you! I�m simultaneously honored and insulted to be involved in this contest for the fourth year in a row.
Coach Z: That�s enough there, Strong Sad! {He shoves Strong Sad out of the way.} Your work is done here. Let�s get this pratty started!!
{Cut to a view of Strong Bad in a Strong Sad costume, which consists of a grey "Phys Ed" sweatshirt, and a paper plate with Strong Sad�s face drawn on it. There�s a suspicious looking lump under the sweatshirt.}
Coach Z: Looking good there, Strong Bad.
Strong Bad: I know.
Coach Z: Nice use of light and shadow.
Strong Bad: I know.
Coach Z: ...and picnic supplies.
Strong Bad: I know. Shut up.
Coach Z: Let�s hear what you got.
Strong Bad: Alright. Let me just push play on my "sweat shirt" here.
Strong Sad: {on a tape} Why do you want me to say "hello, my name is Strong Sad"? {tape noise} get that tape-recorder out of my face {more tape noise} stop flicking my ear!
Strong Bad: {also on tape} More like: You stop flicking my ear!
Strong Bad: {He stops the tape.} Ha ha. Oops.
Coach Z: Ok, then. Very unsuspicious.
Strong Bad: I know.
{Coach Z moves on to Homestar Runner. Homestar is wearing hippo slippers and a grey shirt with a star on it, and he has a sock taped to his head instead of his signature hat.}
Coach Z: Hey there, Homestar. Nice hippo slippers.
Homestar Runner: Thanks. They�re elephants.
Coach Z: Sure they are! Now let�s hear your impression.
Homestar Runner: Um.. remind me again what type stuff that guy says.
Coach Z: You know. Depressing type stuff!
Homestar Runner: Right right! Here goes! Ahem. {in a depressing voice} Oh... Some animal died. {In his normal voice} That�s something he�s always saying, right?
Coach Z: Yeah, I think I heard him say that a few times. Next contestant!
{The next contestant appears to be Strong Sad.}
Coach Z: Strong Sad, you�re not eligible for this competition! I though I told you�s to go on home!
{A familiar looking hat pops up on the Strong Sad lookalike�s head revealing that he is in fact, Homsar. His Strong Sad costume is flawless. Coach Z doesn�t realize who it is.}
'Homsar: {sadly} !AaAaAaAa... I�m crying on the inside!
{The Cheat hops up in a paper bag, painted to look like Strong Sad�s left leg.}
Coach Z: Ok, The Chort, lay it on me!
The Cheat: {in a depressing voice} Meh meh. Mennah mennah mennah meh.
Coach Z: Holy Crap! It�s as if Strong Sad was still alive and with us today! First Prize!
The Cheat: Meh!
{Cut to Strong Bad�s computer. Strong Bad walks up muttering. He�s still in costume.}
Strong Bad: Stupid Friggin� Cheat-in-a-Bag.
{He begins typing}
I can�t believe The Cheat won sectionals for the 4th year in a row dressed up as Strong Sad�s left leg. I knew I should have gone for the bigger butt. Oh well. At least I won the penmanship award. But I should get going if I�m still going to be fashionably late to the afterparty .
{He stops typing.}
Strong Bad: So, until next time, all the ladies and dudes say: (singing) "Strong Bad is a cool guy! And we�re not cool in the least!"
{He leaves and The Paper descends.}
Easter Eggs

Fun Facts
- Yes, Coach Z mistook Homsar for Strong Sad.
- The form for the penmanship contest says 2004 Sectional Finals, however the sign for the contest said 2003.
- At the after party Coach Z is drinking a not so cold one, reference to property of ones.
- At the afterparty, "Poot-Slap" by 3-Dee is playing, which is also heard on the secret main page in the Homestar Talker game.
- We never did actually hear Strong Bad's impression of Strong Sad...
- When Strong Bad comes back to the computer after the contest, still wearing his costume, his hat is incorrectly mirrored in the screen's reflection.
- When Homestar wears the elephant slippers, it's kind of a reference to when strong sad talks on the phone and sells strong sad's legs, which he calls elephants legs or feet or something. I'm not really sure
- Strong Sad likes pie!
