==Transcript==
''{Yellow letters reading "Previously on HomestarRunner.com" on a black background zoom out slowly.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{voiceover}'' Previously on HomestarRunner.com... ''{Pronounces "previously" with a short e}''

''{Fade to a scene from [[strong badathlon]], set in the field. Marzipan and Homsar are sitting around a wooden table with a pink and white tea set on it. Faint music and snapping noises can be heard in the background.}''

'''MARZIPAN''': And that's why I believe the DNA evidence had been tampered with.

''{The music continues. Cut to a clip from [[unnatural]] that takes place in Strong Badia. Strong Bad and The Cheat are seen sitting around a yellow table with a red and black tea set on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': And that's when I tampered with the DNA evidence!

''{The music continues. Cut to inside the movie theater, from [[the movies]]. Strong Sad is sitting in a seat next to Pom Pom.}''

'''MOVIE''': ''{voiceover}'' The DNA evidence was gone!

''{The music continues. Cut to an excerpt of [[your funeral]], inside Marzipan's house. Strong Bad's statue of him wrestling a cougar is sitting by a couch with Homestar's trench coat and bowler hat hung on it. Homestar is standing in the middle of the room. Marzipan leans her head into the scene}''

'''MARZIPAN''': Did you find the DNA evidence?

''{The music continues. Cut to the office, as seen in [[from work]]. Strong Bad is sitting at his computer. Pom Pom is halfway off the screen. He leaves followed by Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': I'll have that DNA evidence on your desk by five.

''{The music continues. Cut to the Easter Egg from [[rough copy]], inside Marzipan's house. Homestar is sitting on the couch. The lights are off.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': DNA evidence.

''{The music continues. A guitar comes in to the music and begins playing a jazzy tune. Cut to a purple background with "The DNA Evidence" written in block letters. The camera pans down to Strong Sad. Mumbling is heard in the background. Strong Sad has an easel on his right with "DNA Evidence" written across the top and a diagram of different characters and links between them.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Attention! Your attention please!

''{cut to Homsar with his mouth open on the other side of the room. Homsar gulps and closes his mouth. The mumbling stops. Cut back to Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': After extensive investigation, I'm ready to release ''{raises his right hand and turns his head toward the chart}'' my findings. I first spoke with...

''{Cut to Marzipan in her kitchen}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Marzipan. ''{Pronounces it "Marcy-pon"}''

'''MARZIPAN''': Well, it all started several weeks ago.

''{Cut to Marzipan's living room. Marzipan is walking in wearing a toga. There are muddy footprints on the carpet.}''

'''MARZIPAN''': ''{voiceover}'' I came home from my toga-yoga class to find that my house had been broken into and that the culprit had left behind some DNA evidence.

''{As she walks, the couch moves onto the screen. The cushions are disarranged and the "Thank You" picture on the wall is crooked. The muddy prints stop at the couch. Something made of glass is just visible behind one of the cushions. Cut to Strong Sad holding a pen and his notebook in Marzipan's kitchen.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': What was it? Hair particles? Skin flakes? Blood crispies?

''{Cut back to toga Marzipan in front of ransacked couch.}

'''MARZIPAN''': ''{voiceover}'' No, it was a little test tube just full of green DNA evidence.

''{As she says this, toga Marzipan pulls out a test tube filled with green liquid from the couch. Cut to close up of Marzipan inspecting the tube. Cut back to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Oh. Just like in the movies. ''{he writes something down}''

''{Cut to front of Marzipan's house, toga Marzipan is walking out holding the test tube.}''

'''MARZIPAN''': ''{voiceover}'' So I immediately took it to Bubs to be analyzed...

''{Cut back to Marzipan in her kitchen}''

'''MARZIPAN''': ...and ''this'' ''{holds up a tube filled with purple liquid and stamped "TAMPERED WITH!"}'' is all I got back.

''{Right scroll to Bubs in the garage.}''

'''BUBS''': Well, it all started a few weeks ago. I just got finished teaching my...

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand. Bubs is walking inside wearing a toga.}

'''BUBS''': ''{voiceover}'' ...toga-yoga class ''{Bubs takes off toga}'' when old-maid Marzipan showed up.

''{Toga Marzipan walks on to the screen.}''

'''MARZIPAN''': Hey, Bubs. Can you analyze this ''{she holds up the test tube}'' DNA evidence for me?

''{Cut to inside of stand. Bubs is silhouetted on the left.}''

'''BUBS''': Sure thing! But it's gonna cost you an arm and a leg.

'''MARZIPAN''': Not a problem.

''{Marzipan hands over the test tube to Bubs. Cut to Strong Sad in the garage.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': So, what did you find out when you analyzed it?

''{Cut back to Bubs}''

'''BUBS''': Oh, ''that''. Well, next thing I know...

''{Cut to inside of stand with silhouette}''

'''BUBS''': ''{voiceover}'' ...Strong Bad shows up.

''{Strong Bad pops up from under the counter.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Hey, Bubs. One green apple snow cone please.

'''BUBS''': Coming right up!

''{Bubs moves out of view. Cut to shelf with four push-spout jars labeled "Red", "Purple", "Green Apple", and "Blue". All contain various levels of said color liquid, except for the "Green Apple", which has a hole in the bottom. Some soft music begins to play. Scene zooms out slowly.}''

'''BUBS''': Ooh. Er.

''{Cut to bubs holding an unflavored snow cone in one hand and the evidence in the other.}''

'''BUBS''': Uh. ''{Looks at snow cone.}'' Blaaaah. ''{Looks at evidence.}''

''{Bubs pours the evidence over the snow cone. Music stops. Cut to outside of stand}''

'''BUBS''': Here ya go. One... ''{turns head to the side}'' cough, cough... ''{looks back at Strong Bad}'' green apple snow cone.

''{Bubs hands the cone over to Strong Bad. Cut to Strong Sad, writing something down. He stops and looks up.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': You served the DNA in a snow cone?!

''{Cut to Bubs}''

'''BUBS''': And it sold ''{raises arm}'' like hotcake!

''{Bottom scroll to the smoky office. Strong Bad is sitting at the desk leaning back in his chair. He has the cool shades on, and there is a lit cigarette in the ash tray on the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Yeah, I bought the DNA snow cone.

''{Cut to Strong Sad in the smoky office, writing with the pad and pen.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': You ''knew'' it had the DNA evidence in it?!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Well, yeah.

''{Cut to side of Bubs' Concession Stand. Strong Bad is standing there wearing his shades. Marzipan walks up wearing a toga.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' I overheard that Marzipan had some DNA evidence, and I figured I could use it to continue my genetic experiments on The Cheat.

''{As he says this, Strong Bad leans to the right. Marzipan holds up the tube and talks to Bubs. Strong Bad rubs his hands together and jumps off toward the back of the stand. Cut to shelf with snow cone flavoring. Green Apple is relatively full.}

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' So I sprung into action.

''{Strong Bad appears and punctures the bottom of the Green Apple container with a pencil before ducking down again. The liquid pours out. Cut to inside view. Soft music starts again.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Bubs-keep, one green-app snoke, on the rocks. And keep it rusty.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad in office.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': By the time I got home, it was all melted.

''{Cut to computer room. Strong Bad walks in from the right, still wearing the shades, and carrying a glass of green liquid.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' So I put it in a glass on my desk and went downstairs ''{Strong Bad puts the glass on the desk and walks offscreen}'' to do one of my high-impact toga-yoga videos.

''{Cut back to office}''

'''STRONG BAD''': And that's the last I saw of it.

''{Cut to Strong Sad, writing something down.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': You left it on your desk, eh? ''{he looks up}''

''{Right scroll to Homestar in his living room.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Yeah, I swung by Strong Bad's the other day. ''{frowns}'' The old lady had me out looking for some kind of ''{brightens up}'' Dan evidence.

''{Cut to computer room. The glass is still on the desk. Homestar walks on from the right, wearing a hat and trenchcoat.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Strong Bad! I'm wearing a hat and trenchcoat! ''{Notices the glass}'' Ooh! A tall, cool glass of Mountain Dwa.

''{Cut to close-up}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Don't mind if I dwa! ''{He drinks the evidence.}'' Glug, glug, glug.

''{After a short pause, Homestar spits it out. Cut to dripping The Cheat.}''

'''THE CHEAT''': ''{Angry The Cheat noises.}''

''{Cut back to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Oh, sorry, The Cheat. That stuff tasted like dwa-dwa.

''{Cut back to The Cheat wiping himself off with a white towel.}''

'''THE CHEAT''': ''{The Cheat noises.}''

''{Cut to Strong Sad, writing something down}''

'''STRONG SAD''': So he wiped his face off with a gross towel, eh? ''{he looks up}''

''{Right scroll to Coach Z in the locker room, looking upset.}''

'''COACH Z''': You figured it out, Strong Sad! My cover is blown! I am actually ''{Pats his chest and puts his hands on his hips. Heroic halo appears briefly around him, accompanied by a sound effect.}'' Damp Towel Man! ''{Raises hand to his mouth}'' And also his mild-mannered alter-ego, Dan Towelman.

''{Cut to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Coach Z, no one's ever heard of those people.

''{Cut to Coach Z}''

'''COACH Z''': Damp Towel Man is a super hero. He collects damp towels from across the galaxy.

''{Cut to computer room, where a now green-spotted towel rests on the desk. Coach Z comes on from the left wearing a black mask and a towel tied on like a cape.}''

'''COACH Z''': Moist Molecules! A green-stained damp towel! The rarest and most powerful kind.

''{Cut to the office. A janitorial cart rolls onto the screen from the left, with the towel on it.}''

'''COACH Z''': ''{voiceover}'' So I took the towel to work the next day to see if it could clean up microwave lasagna stains.

''{Coach Z walks by with a vacuum cleaner and starts humming. Homestar shuffles by from the right, muttering to himself.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Stupid DNA evi''dence''! Where am I supposed to find evi''dence'' by five o' clock?

''{Cut back to Coach Z in the locker room}''

'''COACH Z''': But when I got back to my cart, it was gone! I suspect it was my nemesis, ''{shakes his fist}'' Dry Ragamuffin! Or his mild-mannered alter-ego, Dreyfus Ragámoofin. ''{Pronounced "rah-GAH-moo-fin"}''

''{Cut back to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''' Coach Z, you have a real sucky imagination.

''{Cut back to Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z''': That I do, my boy, that I do. Though I ''did'' notice that...

''{Cut to the office, close up of muddy boots. Strong Bad can be seen on the right sitting at his desk. Coach Z's vacuum is moving back and forth. Scene zooms in slowly.}''

'''COACH Z''': ''{voiceover}'' ...Strong Bad had some muddy boots sitting under his kyorbicle.

''{Cut back to Coach Z in locker room.}''

'''COACH Z''': I didn't find that at ''all'' suspicious.

''{Bottom scroll to the smoky office.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': First of all, those were ''not'' muddy. I'd been stomping around in pecan pie all morning. Marzipan's allergic to pecans, you know.

''{Cut to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''': So it was ''your'' DNA evidence!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Uhh, no. It was yours.

''{Cut to Strong Sad, whose eyes are now bugging out. Scene zooms in rapidly.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ''Whaaaaaat?!''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Yeah, I was just swiping the change from...

''{Cut to Marzipan's living room, Strong Bad, wearing the "muddy" boots, has the test tube in the back of his pants, and is on the couch, pulling coins from it.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ...Marzipan's couch cushions. And I must've accidentally dropped it.

''{The test tube pops out of Strong Bad's pants and lands on the couch. Cut back to Strong Bad in smoky office.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Man, I was ''{holds up hand with thumb close to the main part of the glove}'' ''this'' close to finding out if you're really part elephant or part hippo or something.

''{Cut to angry Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''': I am ''not''!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Well, now I guess we'll never know for sure. Now if you'll excuse me. ''{Dangeresque music starts}'' The stairs of this building have been burned down by termites. So it looks like I'm gonna have to jump!

''{Strong Bad jumps off the screen. Fade to black. Fade in to close-up of the bottom of Strong Sad's bed. Strong Sad pulls a box from underneath it. The box contains a picture frame, a red birthday card with a drawing of Strong Bad on it, a roll of film, a snow globe, and a corked test tube of green liquid. Strong Sad grabs the test tube. Cut to close-up of Strong Sad smiling.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Yes. The world will ''never'' know for sure. Oh-ho-ho-ho...

''{Cut closer}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ...Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho...

''{Cut closer and angled}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ...Ooh-hoo-ho-ho-ho-ho...

''{Cut even closer}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ...Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha...

''{Cut to Strong Bad stealing change from Marzipan's couch. Pan left to see Strong Sad peeking through the window}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ''{voiceover}'' ...Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo...

''{Cut to Marzipan giving the test tube to Bubs. Pan up to see Strong Sad on the roof.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ''{voiceover}'' ...Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha Ah-ha-ha-ha...

''{Cut to Coach Z's cart. Strong Sad comes up from behind it and reaches for the towel.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ''{voiceover}'' ...Hah-ha-ha-ha-ha...

''{Cut back to Strong Sad standing in his room, holding the test tube.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ...Woo-ho-ho-ho...

''{Cut to wide angle view with Homsar standing next to Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ...Ah-ha-ha-ha Woo-ha-ha—

''{Record screech. Strong Sad looks down and finally notices Homsar there.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Oh. Hi. You're not gonna say anything, are you?

''{Cut to close-up of Homsar}''

'''HOMSAR''': DaAaAa, these Easter pants are getting ''way'' too tight. ''{His hat flies off his head on "pants", slides backwards on "way", and performs a backflip off his mouth on "too tight".}''

''{Two ascending notes play, accompanied by the screen turning black except for a small circle around Homsar's eyes. Fade to black. "THE END" appears on a purple background in block letters, zooming out slowly.}''

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Damp towel man.PNG|thumb|"Moist Molecules, it's Damp Towel Man!"]]
*Click on the Z on Coach Z's medallion after he reveals that he's Damp Towel Man to see a Strong Badman comic.
*Click on the Z again in the scene he mentions Dry Ragamuffin to see another Strong Badman comic, starring a character that resembles Bubs.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*This cartoon is based on the [[DNA Evidence (running gag)|DNA Evidence running gag]] that appeared in six straight emails, beginning with [[strong badathlon]].
*"Old maid" is a term used to disparagingly describe an older, unmarried woman.
*"On the rocks" means to pour over ice, usually said when ordering an [[Alcohol|alcoholic]] beverage.
*[[Wikipedia:Ragamuffin|Ragamuffin]] is a term used to describe a child wearing shabby clothing.
*"Costing an arm and a leg" is an idiom used to convey an extremely high price.
*"Selling like hotcake[s]" means to sell very well.

===Trivia===
*The text on the [[Lappy 486]] reads:
<blockquote class="email" style="background-image:none">
Hi. Yeah, go ahead and very safely enter most of your 
credit card numbers onto this Lappy. It will safen it all 
out. 
 
Thanks, 
The Strong Badagement</blockquote>
*The [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#3DFX drivers|3DFX drivers]]".
*The bottle of cleaning fluid on Coach Z's Janitator car is labelled "DANG!"

===Remarks===
*Strong Sad is able to write in his [[Notebook|notebook]] without any problems, but in [[rough copy]], he had trouble writing a mere sentence on a single page of the same notebook.
*The puncture that Strong Bad makes is well above the bottom of the green apple bottle, but all the liquid leaks out.
*Homestar's trenchcoat seems to be unaffected by gravity, as it remains stiff and straight even as he bends over.
*Strong Sad writes [[Left Handedness|left-handed]] for the entire toon except when interviewing Coach Z where the pen is in his right hand. He is right handed in [[rough copy]].
*In the "Big Toons" section of the [[TV Time Toons Menu]], the description reads, "Strong Sad gets to the bottom of all this mess," while the description on the [[New Stuff]] menu omits the word "all."
*Near the end of the toon, Strong Sad pulls the DNA evidence test tube, along with a shoebox, out from under his bed. However, after he is done laughing evilly, our view widens so that we can see that he is still in the same room with Homsar where he began his presentation.

===Goofs===
*The smoke from the office only wafts in the first few shots before Strong Bad speaks his account of what happened at Bubs' Concession Stand.
*There are footprints leading to the couch, but there is no trail away from the couch.

===Fixed Goofs===
*When this toon was first released, when Marzipan was walking up to Bubs' Concession Stand, she was not wearing her toga. This was fixed less than an hour after the toon was released.

===Inside References===
*This is another mention of [[Mountain Dew]].
*Homestar's mispronunciation of DNA, and Coach Z's "mild mannered alter-ego" are references to [[Dan]].
**Furthermore, Coach Z's alter-ego's last name is an example of [["Man" pronounced as "m'n"]].
*The box Strong Sad pulls the DNA Evidence out of in the last scene is from [[The Secrets That I Keep]].
*Strong Bad's glasses, the line "Looks like I'm gonna have to jump!", and the background music in the respective scenes are from the [[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]] series of films.
*Marzipan's response to the cost of "an arm and a leg" and the way the arm of Homestar's coat moves as he takes a drink are references to their [[lack of visible arms]] and, in her case, legs.
*Homsar mentions [[pants]].
*This is yet another instance of both [[Strong Bad Smiling|Strong Bad]] and [[Strong Sad smiling]].
*Coach Z's janitor cart reads "JANITATOR", similar to [[Trogdor|Trogdor the Burninator]].
*The vacuum cleaner and Coach Z's line about cleaning up lasagna are references to [[Sbemail 169 Deleted Scene]].



===Real-World References===
*The entire structure of the toon, with a detective interviewing several people when he ultimately is the culprit, is a nod to [[wikipedia:Film noir|film noir]], a style of American film that peaked in the late 1940s and early 1950s.

''{Strong Bad says "Not even close," very quickly after "Your bestest buddy in the whole wide world," and says "UK" as, "You 'kay?"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Yeah I'm fine, Gary. Calm down. Of course I've got the internet. How else could I download this awesome animated gif/gif of a cute breakdancing rodent.

''{A progress bar pops up with a ding that says "11% Complete" with "Less than a fortnight remaining" below}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing} ''WHAT??!! Eleven percent? I started downloading this thing like two days ago! Oh that's IT!! Hold on to your fat, sweaty D&D playing headsets, tech support. 'Cuz Strong Bad's about to Do-Sum-Bow-Dis!

''{The camera rotates around the Lappy to a rear view as Strong Bad picks up the telephone. There is a phone ringing sound and the screen is split by a phone cord with Homestar Runner in the office on the left and Strong Bad on the right. Homestar wears a headset.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thank you for calling the internet, may I have your account number or identity theft, please?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, but you can have a heapin' helpin' of my unbridled rage!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{reading slowly from a sheet of paper}'' Ma'am, please calm down. Your CD tray is not a cup holder. ''{turns page}'' I cannot help you clear your browser cache. No, I'm not in India. {puts paper down}

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up and listen. ''{bangs hand on keyboard}'' My internet is crawling along like... something... funny... that crawls along.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, I can help you with that. Please hold while I transfer you to someone who can help you with that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{incredulous}'' What?!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' Doo doot. Do doo doot. Do doo doot. ''{cut to a long shot of the office as Homestar stands up}'' It's the hold music, do doot. Pa doo doot. doodoo doo doot. Hold music. {cut back to the splitscreen as Homestar sits down} Thank you for holding. Your call is very unportant to us. The next available representative wi—okay I'm back! Lemme just verify your address so I can send you my weight in free sign up CDs.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh, enough! ''{bangs hand against keyboard again}'' I'm marching my pasty white boittom down there to talk to the man in charge! ''{Strong Bad slams the phone down and walks offscreen during Homestar's next line.}}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm so glad we could get that resolved. Is there anything else I could—

''{cut to Strong Bad marching across The Field at dusk as march music plays in the background. Strong Bad ends up at Bubs' Concession Stand.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{as the camera zooms in}'' Well if it isn't my lone internet customer. How's e-business? {cut to Strong Bad from inside the concession stand}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now listen here, old man Bubs! What's the big idea of throttling me down?!

'''BUBS:''' Throttling you down?! That's not one of the 99 ways I rip you off!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, back in the day I used to connect 1200 baud, but ever since ''the merger'' I'm lucky if I get 12 baud.

'''BUBS:''' Hmm. ''{cut back to Bubs}'' Let's head down to the datum center and see what we can find.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thatum sounds good.

''{cut to the garage which is currently housing several computers with Bubs' face on them and is sporting a sign labelled, "Datum Center"}''

'''BUBS:''' So this is where the magic happens. I wonder where the trouble could be.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I wonder. {camera pulls back to reveal a computer with a garden hose sticking out of it and smoke issuing from the back} It's probably not this computer with the garden hose coming out of it.

'''BUBS:''' Hey! Somebody's suckin' up all my bandwidth my bandwidth!

''{cut to a hole in the wall with the garden hose running through, then outside to Strong Mad sucking on the end of the hose. Strong Bad and Bubs walk up}}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Mad! ''{Startled, Strong Mad takes the hose out of his mouth.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{in a high-pitched voice}'' I'm a website!

''{cut to Strong Bad and Bubs as they both start laughing. The laughter gets more and more hysterical until it reaches a psychotic peak. At that point we cut back to the Lappy as the progress bar fills up. The Lappy's screen shows an animated gif of a rat dancing to 1-bit music. The rat is replaced by yellow text that says "NOT REALLY BREAK DANCING" and [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

==Easter Eggs==
*After Homestar Runner comes back from the hold music and asks for Strong Bad's address, click on the [[Sticky Notes|post-it note]] that reads "note to self: chew more" to see a picture of Homestar's weight in free sign-up CDs.
*At the end of the email, click on the "O" in "Not Really Break Dancing" to see a collection of Free Sign-up CDs in the shape of Homestar running played backed by music similar to the [[Theme Song Video]].

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*D&D stands for [[Wikipedia:Dungeons and Dragons|Dungeons and Dragons]] a popular Pen and Paper [[Wikipedia:RPG|RPG]].

===Remarks===
*Looking at the back of the lappy, we see there is no internet cord plugged in, and it is doubtful the lappy has wireless connection.

===Goofs===
*If the dancing mouse was truly an [[Wikipedia:animated gif|animated gif]], it would not have any sound.
**Unless however it was a [http://www.ytmnd.com YTMND].

===Inside References===
*Strong Mad's voice becoming altered by helium (or in this case, bandwith) is from [[helium]]. In that e-mail, he was unsuccessful.

===Real World References===
*One of Homestar's preprepared replies is "No, I am not in India". This is refering to the fact that many [[Wikipedia:Tech Support|Tech Support]] calling centres are in India (Dell Computers, etc).

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Buck Webb? You sound like one of those boring soap-opera comic strips from the, ''{stops typing}'' quote-un-quote, ''{resumes typing}'' "funny" pages.

''{An example of a boring soap-opera comic pops up. It is titled "Buck Webb, Extraordinaire". Music begins playing. When characters talk, speech balloons appear.}''

'''BUCK:''' I'm afraid it's Splittsville for us, Lady Fan... if you don't take a shine to Strong Bad!

'''LADY FAN:''' ''{drippy speech balloon}'' Oh, Buck...

''{Cut to the next panel. Lady fan is holding a gun up to Buck.}''

'''LADY FAN:''' I'll give Strong Bad a chance. In fact...

''{Cut to next panel, of a turtle in a pool, with the caption "Sea turtles eat a wide variety of food".}''

'''LADY FAN:''' ... I think I'm falling for him. Like, big time.

'''BUCK:''' C'mon, baby. Stay with me.

''{Next panel. Buck is holding a yoga DVD.}''

'''BUCK:''' I'll buy you a new yoga DVD.

''{Next panel. Lady fan is crying and there is a caption "Back in Des Moines..."}''

'''LADY FAN:''' I'll... think about it!!!

''{Cut away from the comic. The Lappy's screen has been cleared.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' We both know who she's gonna choose, Buck. Is that what you want? But hey, you asked for it. And as you know, when people send me stupid emails, I'm obligated by law to do what they say. So, extra special cool coming right up!

''{Cut to a gymnasium.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nothing's more ESC than one-handed push-ups. Coupla these bad boys oughta do the trick! Here-a I-a go-a!

''{Strong Bad attempts to do a one-handed push-up, but falls down. The scoreboard buzzes and turns to -1.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, did I say "one-handed push-ups"? Those things are lame. Real men play two-handed push-ups! We'll start with fifty and see how we feel. Here-sa I-sa go-sa!

''{Strong Bad attempts to do a two-handed push up. Beads of sweat appear on his forehead, but he is unable to lift himself off the ground. The scoreboard buzzes and turns to -51.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I can't do ONE push up?! I used to be able to do like four. Maybe I need to start workin' out.

''{Homestar Runner appears, dressed as a work-out instructor.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Boy, I'll say you do. One, two, and flex your pecs! Give it eight more! And five! Twees it out! C'mon y'all! Just twees it out!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Twees it out?

''{Homestar turns around to show Strong Bad his rear. Strong Bad looks away and blocks the image with his hand.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Your buttweesimo! We're gonna mold that twees into the Iron Sheik!

''{Homestar looks toward Strong Bad's "twees". Strong Bad replies by covering it with both hands.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Just six more now! Eight and four! Shake it freely, twees it out!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, cool. I'm gonna go ahead and need you to never say "twees it out" ever again.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You're doing great! Now shoulders down! One and two...

''{Strong Bad walks towards the viewer. Homestar continues to stretch in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What'll really impress your lady fan is a cute, fluffy The Cheat—

''{Scene changes to the laundry room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Fresh from the dryer!

''{Strong Bad opens the dryer, revealing a fluffy The Cheat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Awww, look at him! All cottony soft...

''{Strong Bad tries to pet The Cheat but is shocked by static electricity. Then The Cheat starts turning green and his The Cheat noises turn queasy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' AHHHH! Jeez, use a dryer sheet, man. Uh oh, this is not looking extra special cool.

''{Strong Bad closes the dryer door just as The Cheat throws up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Don't worry, little buddy. We'll just throw you back in the wash.

''{Some vomit runs out the corner of the dryer door. Homestar returns, still in his work-out uniform.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Back in the wash. Come on, come on! Twees it, twees it, zabaradoo!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Get it out of here, Wretched Simmons! I'm trying to get some girl to like some guy I don't know!

''{Homestar bobs up and down twice more. Scene changes to Strong Bad and Marzipan sitting at a table with a "CAT MESS" kitty litter bag, pie pan with some kitty litter in it, a glue gun, envelopes, and scissors.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' One thing I definitely know about the lady fans is that they all like crappy arts and crafts projects.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Today we're going to make a real creative centerpiece out of junk mail and kitty litter.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sarcastically}'' Sounds heavenly...

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{picks up an envelope and begins to cut it with the scissors}'' Now first of all I want you to take your snip-sniparooskies-- and that's what we call our scissors...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{overlapping, uninterested}'' Uh-huh...

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{cut to a closeup of the envelope}'' ...and then just a little crinkle cut right here on the northern edge...

''{Cut back to wide shot. Marzipan becomes angry at Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' UGH! Never mind! What the lady fans ''really'' want is some ''{high-pitched echo-y screaming}'' PYROTECHNICS!!!

''{Strong Bad throws the BMW Lighter onto the table, causing multiple explosions that turn everything to ashes, including Marzipan's hair. The ashen remains of the "CAT MESS" bag collapse.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Strong Bad, you're a horse's twees.

''{The remains of the glue gun collapse as well. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' There you have it, Buck. Oh wait...

''{Changes to comic strip version of Strong Bad talking to Buck.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' There you have it, Buck! If that floozy's not all up ons after that, you gotta drop her like a trig class, see??!!??!

''{Next panel, solo shot of Buck.}''

'''BUCK:''' Tight, Strong Bad. Real tight.

''{Next panel, silhouettes of Strong Bad and Buck looking at work-out Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's right. Keep that twees real tight. Flex it, flex it, shoulder stance.

''{Next panel, a comic book version of [[The Paper]]. The Paper noise is heard. A caption reads "PREEEOW!!"}''

==Easter Eggs==
*Click the scoreboard after Strong Bad calls one-handed push-ups lame to see a blue bumper sticker that says "Real Men Play Two Handed Push-ups!!" with a small image of a soccer ball in the corner.
*At the end, click on the printer's green button to see Homestar's weight-loss DVD, titled "Tweesercize". The box reads:
<pre>
Tweesercise with Homestar Runner
Loose weight?
6 minutes long!!!
</pre>

==Fun Facts==
{{checkstuffpage}}
===Explanations===
*Strong Bad's opening intro is similar to one of the many songs schoolgirls often chant while jumping rope.
*"Tejas" is a Spanish spelling of [[Wikipedia:Texas|Texas]]. Strong Bad pronounces it correctly as "TEH-hahs".

===Remarks===
*This is the first time we see Strong Bad perspire.
*While Strong Bad may not be able to do push-ups, he was able to literally throw Homestar and [[The King of Town]] out of his house in [[secret identity]]. He was also able to knock Homestar senseless in [[car]] with what is assumed to be his off hand.
*This is another instance of The Paper not coming down normally, this time being shown coming out of what appears to be an [http://skylab.org/~chugga/pictures/forsale/epson.JPG Epson L-1000] [[Wikipedia:Dot matrix printer|dot matrix printer]]. The first time The Paper appeared out of a printer was in [[Email Processing Room]].

===Goofs===
*Marzipan's scissors do not close properly. Their handles touch before the blades run past each other.

===Inside References===
*The score counter going negative refers to an Easter egg in [[montage]].
*Strong Bad locking The Cheat in the dryer is a reference to [[2 years]].
*This is another appearance of the [[BMW Lighter]].
*Buck Webb emailing from "Tejas" is a reference to Strong Bad's pronunciation of [[Wikipedia:Texas|Texas]] in [[boring (really)]] and [[property of ones]].
*The phrase "[[All up ons]]" originated in [[suntan]].

===Real-World References===
*The soap-opera-type comic pokes fun at comics not written to be funny, such as [[Wikipedia:Rex Morgan, M.D.|Rex Morgan, M.D.]], which are found in many newspaper Funny Pages.
**The panel with a [[Wikipedia:sea turtle|sea turtle]] is a reference to the drama/information comic strip [[Wikipedia:Mark Trail|Mark Trail]].
*"Wretched Simmons" refers to fitness guru [[Wikipedia:Richard Simmons|Richard Simmons]].
*The [[Wikipedia:Iron Sheik|Iron Sheik]] is a wrestler, and a former [[Wikipedia:World Wrestling Federation|WWF]] [[Wikipedia:List_of_WWE_Champions|Champion]] in the 1980s.
*Strong Bad saying, "I'm gonna go ahead and need you to..." is very similar to the catchphrase of boss Bill Lundbergh in the film [[Wikipedia:Office Space|Office Space]]: "I'm gonna need you to go ahead and come in tomorrow..."
*Homestar's "buttweesimo" may be a reference to the Italian suffix [http://italian.about.com/library/fare/blfare131a.htm -issimo], which is used as a [[Wikipedia:Superlative|superlative]]. Taken literally, "buttweesimo" would mean "the most butt", which could further be interpreted as "the largest butt".
*Homestar's "Tweesercize" DVD and his outfit are references to [[Wikipedia:Jazzercise|Jazzercise]], a popular home-exercise program during the 80s.

''{Strong Bad types "strongbad_email.exe" and presses enter.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Don't you wanna email, don't you need a email, don't you turn your life around!

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: little help, please</div>
Dear Strong Bad; 
I'm a middle school technology teacher. I would really 
appreciate it if you could come up with an introduction I 
could use for my new classes. Thanks. 
Jay 
Oswego NY
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronounces "Oswego NY" as "Oswego to New York" with "Oswego" in a sing-song voice, as if saying "Off we go!}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' You would ''really appreciate'' it? That's it? Man, back in the olden days, I could get upwards of 3 chickens, a sack of barley and a half-dead goat all for doing one of my technology intromercials. ''{clears screen}'' Well, I sure hope JCPenney's accepts really appreciate it's, 'cause I know for a fact they stopped taking ''{extrapolates voice}'' I'll be your best friend's ''{returns to normal}'' a while ago. Either way, middle school kids are all idiots and they need as much of my help and guidance as they can get.

''{Strong Bad gets up from his chair. Cut to a classroom with Strong Bad in a coat reminiscent of scientists', the words "I'M USING TECHNOLOGY" written on the blackboard and a poster with a drawing of a computer captioned "computers don't BYTE"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{slightly robotic tone}'' One, zero zero, one one, zero, one, one zero, one one zero, zero one. ''{normal voice}'' You may not have understood me, but I was speaking technology.

''{Cut to a close-up of Strong Bad's head in the lab.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The word technology... means... magic. It's basically anything that's really cool that you don't know how it works. And if it breaks, you have to buy a new one. Why, I've got some technology beneath my pants right now! Whoo-ya!

''{Cut to the full classroom shot again. Strong Bad takes a 5.25" floppy disk with the logo "5.25 power" from behind him, throws it in the air and catches it in his right hand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is a diskette. Diskettes were invented by computers to help us. Like how cows—

''{A crude drawing of a cow replaces the text on the blackboard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —invented milk.

''{Zoom in on Strong Bad's head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The two warring factions of diskettes are floppy disks—

''{He shakes the 5.25" disk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —and hard disks.

''{He lifts an unlabeled 3.5" floppy disk in his right hand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I prefer ''{hides the 3.5" disk}'' these big ones because they hold more memory, although you have to ''{crumples the 5.25" disk}'' fold them up to fit them to these new computers.

''{Camera pans right to center on the "computers don't BYTE!" poster. Strong Bad then hides the crumpled disk and continues.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Another thing you'll need is your very own email address.

''{Cut to a [[Tandy 400]]-like computer screen with an orange envelope labeled "email".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Just take your favourite hobby,—

''{The words "soccer", "ballet", "nachoeating", "skater", "fire", "football", "racecar" alternate under the envelope until stopping on "swimteam".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' — add kid, grrl, pie or izzle—

''{The words alternate next to "swimteam" as he speaks them, then being replaced by "pie".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —and put a bunch of numbers at the end!

''{The number "33331" appears next to "pie". The address is completed with "@kindergartencop.edu" appearing on the next line. Then, cut to the classroom with a picture of a robot marching towards a city and the text "gank gank!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in a robotic voice}'' Robots are technology shaped like square people. ''{returns to normal voice}'' They are primarily used for destroying Japan and serving hors d'œuvres.

''{The Cheat walks up to Strong Bad with a plate of hors d'œuvres, making robotic noises and encased in what appears to be an upside-down metal pail with bolts drawn on it in black marker and light bulbs sticking out of holes cut in the sides.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, The Cheat-Bot! I would love a stuffed grape leaf! ''{grabs one and eats it}''

''{Cut to The Field, where the lab-coat wearing Strong Bad and "The Cheat-Bot" are standing next to Pom Pom, who is talking to someone on his PDA.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Originally, tellular cellephones ''{indicating Pom Pom's PDA}'' were for sending misspelled messages to your friends, telling them where you are in the food court.

'''POM POM:''' ''{makes a few bubbling noises directed at Strong Bad, then resumes his conversation}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Pom Pom just bought movie tickets with his cell phone!

'''POM POM:''' ''{looks annoyed and makes more bubbling noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, he just watched a movie ''on'' his cell phone!

'''POM POM:''' ''{looks angry at Strong Bad, makes more bubbling noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh oh ''oh''! Pom Pom just wrote, directed, produced, and ''distributed'' a movie with his cell phone!

'''POM POM:''' ''{answers an incoming call and makes a few more bubbling noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...and he just got into Sundance! High-five, brother!

''{Pom Pom absorbs his PDA into his body, produces a pair of sunglasses and a water bottle, and bounces off.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{holding out for the high-five a bit longer}'' Uh, cool, right. I'll, uh... see you later. ''{waits a bit, then turns to The Cheat}'' What are you still doing here, The Cheat-Bot?

''{Cut back to the classroom, where the blackboard now reads "THE FUTURE??" in large letters.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The future of technology, or at least what people won't shut up about, is wireless. You know, things like—

''{The view zooms in on the blackboard, which displays drawings of each of the items Strong Bad mentions.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —walkmans, flashlights, and solar calculators.

''{He pops up in front of the blackboard and holds up a "Cakkalater" brand calculator which has the digits "53045 3080" typed in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look, I can make mine say "oboe shoes"!

''{He turns the calculator upside-down so that the digits resemble the words "OBOE SHOES". Cut back to the Lappy, as Strong Bad sits back down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And then there's the Lappy, which rules over technology with a 42 pound, allegedly portable fist. Watch as it magically saves this screen.

''{Strong Bad types "screen_savior.exe" on a new line, bringing up a screen saver that resembles a primitive 3D maze. The words "Strong Bad gots the style" are written on the wall at every turn.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The screen is saved, man. This thing's gonna last like 50 years! Alright, awkward children, I'm all done kickin' my tech-knowledge. Now leave me alone! Got to find my way out of these catacombs...

''{[[The Paper]] comes down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{mumbling to himself}'' Left... left... no, right... no, left... right... just keep goin'... Strong Bad... style...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{after some time}'' Where are you taking me, Lappy?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{after another delay}'' Man... I throwed up all over this maze. ''{referring to the green color of the maze's floors}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on half-dead goat for a picture of a goat with the caption: "Do you see this goat as half-dead or half-alive?"
*Click the left side of the screen during the screensaver for an easter egg of Strong Sad and Strong Bad arguing over floppy/hard disks.
:'''STRONG SAD:''' I keep telling you they're ''both'' floppy disks!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' You think ''this'' is a floppy disk?
:'''STRONG SAD:''' Yes, it is!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' It's not a hard disk? ''{he hits his desk with the disk three times}''
:'''STRONG SAD:''' No.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Are you sure about this?
:'''STRONG SAD:''' Absolu- ''{Strong Bad throws the disk in his face}'' Ow!
*Click the right side of the screen during the screensaver to see Bubs selling Wireless Extension Cords.
:'''BUBS:''' Get your wireless extension cords. Three for three hundred! Lightweight, existent, and shockproof!
:''{Homestar peeks out from the left edge of the screen}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Umm... I'll take fooour! ''{he flies up the left screen edge and disappears}''

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===
*There are two kinds of disks shown in the email, 5.25" and 3.5", and they are both [[wikipedia:floppy disk|floppy disks]] (meaning Strong Sad was correct). Note that not only does Strong Bad misidentify the 3.5" floppy disk, but he incorrectly states that the larger disk has more memory. The smaller one has more disk space.
*A [[wikipedia:hard disk|hard disk]] or hard drive (more correctly: "hard disk drive") is a storage unit for computer files that is usually located inside the computer and, therefore, not portable; however, recent technology has made hard drives that are both external and portable.
*When Strong Bad "speaks technology," he says "10011011011001", which is [[wikipedia:Binary_numeral_system|binary code]] for 9945. If you split the string in half and convert the two pieces ("1001101" and "1011001") into letters via the [[wikipedia:ASCII|ASCII chart]], it spells "MY", but if you use a binary translator like [http://nickciske.com/tools/binary.php this one] and translate it as a whole, it translates it to ��. The "MY" translation is it compensating for the incomplete string and adding 2 characters. The alteration is shown below, with added characters bolded.

'''0'''1001101'''0'''1011001

*A [[wikipedia:Catacomb|Catacomb]] refers to any network of caves, grottos, or subterranean place that is used for the burial of the dead, or it can refer to a specific underground burial place.

===Trivia===
*This is the first cartoon on the site to feature a large black mask covering the offscreen objects usually visible when viewing the Flash file.
*The 3.14 that appears on the solar calculator is the first three digits of [[Wikipedia:pi|pi]].
*Strong Bad saying he has technology in his pants is one of the very rare sexual references on the site.

=== Inside References ===
*Pom Pom's ring tone is the indietronic remix of [[The Geddup Noise]], heard in the email [[geddup noise]].
*The "kindergartencop.edu" domain was also used in [[unused emails]], for the email address Bubs spams.
*The Lappy being 42 pounds and portable is a reference to [[animal]], when it first debuted.
*The Cakkalator is a reference to how Strong Bad pronounces "calculations" in [[space program]].
*This is another appearance of [[Goats]].
*Homestar moving up the side of the screen in the [[Bubs' Concession Stand]] Easter egg bears similarity to many appearances of [[Homsar]].
*The Cheatbot's sounds are nearly identical to those he makes in the intro to the news program in [[local news]].
*When Strong Bad is describing how to create an e-mail address, there is another reference to 'Grrl'
*This is another instance of [[Pie]].

=== Real World References ===
*The "catacombs" screensaver on the Lappy is reminiscent of the "3D-Maze" screen saver first introduced in [[Wikipedia:Windows 95|Windows 95 OSR-2]].
*''[[imdb:tt0099938|Kindergarten Cop]]'' is a movie starring [[Wikipedia:Arnold Schwarzenegger|Arnold Schwarzenegger]] as an undercover cop, posing as a teacher.
*Sundance is an annual independent film festival in Park City, Utah, founded by actor Robert Redford and also a US pay cable television channel showing similar films. The name refers to Redford's portrayal of The Sundance Kid in the film [[IMDB:tt0064115|Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid.]]

* Pom Pom's cell phone looks like a Palm Treo 600, 650, or 700w.
*[[Wikipedia:J.C. Penney|JCPenney]] is a large chain of department stores commonly found in malls.
*Pom Pom's [[Cell Phone|cell phone]] says "Incoming Call: Bob Redford", referring to American actor [[Wikipedia:Robert Redford|Robert Redford]].
*The comment about robots destroying Japanese cities refers to the [[Wikipedia:Godzilla|Godzilla]] series or similar movies where a large robot would raze a Japanese city.
*"Do you see this goat as half-dead or half-alive?" is a reference to the famous expression "[[Wikipedia:Is the glass half empty or half full|Do you see this glass as half-empty or half-full?]]", a psychological question often used to determine if a person is optimistic or pessimistic.
*In [[Wikipedia:MMORPG|MMORPGs]], [[Wikipedia:Gank|gank]] is slang for a player attacking and killing another player who is at extreme disadvantage.
*Strong Bad's definition of technology may be a spoof on [[Wikipedia:Clarke's three laws|Clarke's third law]]: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
*In computer terms, a BYTE (from the "Computers Don't BYTE!" poster) refers to an ordered collection of 8 bits. The earliest microprocessors were 8-bit, meaning that they could process data in 8-bit chunks, or bytes. A byte is also the smallest data chunk capable of representing the extended ASCII class of characters.

''{Cut to the Lappy. Gavin is crawling on the screen. The lights are out. Strong Bad is not present. The lights suddenly turn on and Gavin crawls away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Walks in}'' A little bit of email. Some you-and-me mail. ''{begins reading}''
<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: question</div>
What ever happened to the get up noise? I think it 
was cool. 
Sincerely yours marc baroni AZ</blockquote>

''{Reads "marc baroni AZ" as "macaroni from A to Z"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh! Alphabet macaroni! ''{typing}'' The get up noise? Oh wait, you mean the Geddup Noise. This guy!

''{Strong Bad gets up and sits down three times, making the noise each time}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Ahhh, what fun! But that's not even the real Geddup Noise. That's just his cousin, Chairscoot. ''{clears screen}'' No, the real Geddup noise split quite some time ago. Somewheres right around email 84, Ol' Geddy got all big overseas. And then the phone calls started coming in.

''{Cut to a close-up shot of Strong Bad. He is holding a phone.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{into phone}'' Hello? What? Yes, no, yes.

''{Zoom out to show that he's in his computer room. The text from email 84 ([[kids' book]]) is displayed on the screen of the Compy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's for you. ''{tosses phone at stool}''

''{The Geddup Noise is heard. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And before I know it, every-freakin-body’s talkin about the Geddup Noise. ''{The Geddup Noise is heard over the last three words.}''

''{Cut to Coach Z and Bubs at the concession stand, which is now labelled "BUBSO'S CONCESSION STAND"}''

'''COACH Z:''' Okay, now I got one Bubs-O. Who am I supposed to be? Aaaaooooroomah! Eeeeeeoooowree!

'''BUBS:''' Is that supposed to be the Geddup Noise?

'''COACH Z:''' Hang on! Hang on! Let me switch my pitch up! Waaay-o! Waaaay-o!

'''BUBS:''' ''{annoyed}'' Way-o way-o? I’ll be in the basement!

''{The concession stand turns dark with only a yellow light shining from the top. Bubs slowly sinks into the basement.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Way-o! Waaaay-o!

''{Cut to the booOOM box, which holds a cassette tape labeled "Normal Bias"}''

'''BOOOOM BOX (STRONG BAD'S RADIO ANNOUNCER VOICE):''' Hang on to your panties, people. ''{fart noise}'' Uh oh, what’s up? ‘Cause we got the Geddup Noise ''{doing sound}'' all up in this piece! ''{Geddup Noise, followed by laughter}'' Oh, man, we got a live one here! ''{old-timey automobile horn sounds}''

''{Cut to Strong Sad listening to the radio. He is wearing a black T-shirt that reads "This Is Not A The Geddup Noise T-Shirt".}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, man. The Geddup Noise used to be cool.

''{Cut to the set of The Show with Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And as always, at center square, the get-up noise. ''{Pan to a wider shot. Nobody is seen standing next to him.}'' What do you say, Geddy? ''{The Geddup Noise is heard, followed by applause.}'' Now that is just special. But I’m afraid the correct answer was way-o, way-o .''{"WAY-O, WAY-O" appears on screen as Homestar says it.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad at the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Even The Cheat was able to snag a piece of the Geddup Pie with his indie-tronic remix.

''{CD of "DJ Teh Cheat - The Geddup Noise" appears; scene switches to Club Technochocolate, where The Cheat is spinning his own record. Bubs and Pom Pom put their weight on it. The song includes the Geddup Noise played over and over.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And before long, a bunch of cheap knock-offs started popping up.

''{Cut to the King of Town, seated in a wooden chair at a table in his castle}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Hello, America! It’s the Standing Up Noise! ''{The "Standing Up Noise" logo appears, and the King of Town stands up; the chair makes a deep imitation Geddup Noise.}'' Boooo-ooo! ''{The King looks over to his right.}''

''{Cut to the Brothers Strongs' basement. Strong Bad is seated in a yellow chair}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{to screen}'' And now, everybody's favorite style, the Git Outcha Seat Sound! ''{The Homsar walking sound accompanies the "Git Outcha Seat" logo}'' ''{Strong Bad gets up from a yellow seat and makes a low-pitched imitation Geddup Noise.}'' Isn’t that right, the Teach?

''{Strong Mad's left hand appears from behind the sofa. He has a blue sock on his hand with The Cheat-like features drawn on it.}''

'''THE TEACH (STRONG MAD):''' BLUE SOCK! BLUE SOCK!

''{Return to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing, sounding embarrassed}'' Heh heh. That was just not, nu-, anything. So after that, Geddy bought a house in the Coches and now he just snowboards all day. He still pops up here and there in the odd, or sometimes ''very'' odd celebrity endorsement.

''{Cut to a shot of [[Hamburger Shampoo]]. The Geddup Noise plays in the background.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Geddup Noise Approved!
<pre>
"Like a backyard BBQ...on your hair!"
hamburger
SHAMPOO
</pre>
''{Cut to Strong Sad watching the Hamburger Shampoo commercial. He is wearing a white T-shirt that reads "Corporate The Geddup Noise Still Sucks".}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Frickin’ sell-out!

''{Cut back to the Lappy again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So I suppose that more than adequately answers your question, Shoshoni Macaroni.

''{Pan out to a medium shot. Homestar is kneeling to Strong Bad's right, holding a notepad.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{to stool}'' Excuse me sir, could I trouble you for an autograph?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, you know that’s not even the original Geddup Noise. It’s his cousin...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I know, Chairscoot. He’s my generation’s Geddup Noise! Uh, could you make it out to ''Lou Dobbs''?

'''STRONG BAD:''' That’s it, I’m outta here. ''{Walks offscreen to stage right, making the Chairscoot Noise}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ah! There it is! It’s positively dreamy! ''{little hearts float up out of Homestar's head and pop like bubbles}'' Ohhhh! ''{Homestar faints. He knocks the stool which makes the chairscoot noise one more time.}''

''{[[The Paper]] comes down.}''

==Easter Eggs==
*Click "Coches" before the cutaway to Strong Sad to see a postcard.
:''{The postcard's background is a snowy mountain range with the text ''Coches Mountains'' in the top left corner. [[Monkey D]] is up front wearing a winter hat, oven mitt and an ''I ♥ The Teach'' shirt. Along the bottom is the text ''Monkey D awaits you''.}''
*Click on the stool to see additional footage of The Cheat's ambient mix in Club Technochocolate.
:''{Cut back to The Cheat, Pom Pom and Bubs dancing at Club Technochocolate. Coach Z enters and dances across the room. Then Strong Mad's sock puppet appears up front for a bit and lipsyncs the words "geddup geddup geddup", then disappears and reappears to the left where it lipsyncs again, and then goes back up front, where it lipsyncs one more time and then "dances" to the music. Then it fades to black and the Geddup Noise is heard.}''
*Click on the notepad and it'll bring up autograph #1:
<pre>My Pal
Lou Dobbs,
Stay real!
Chairscoot
</pre>

Click on it again and it'll bring up autograph #2:
<pre>Lou Dobbs,

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*The lights are off and Gavin is shown on the Lappy because it had been 7 weeks since [[lady...ing|the previous Strong Bad Email]].
**There was a similar occurrence of this in the email [[army]].
*"The Show's Stupid Home Edition" is a parody of popular game shows that give away home versions of their games as consolation prizes.

===Remarks===
* Clicking on Gavin at the beginning of the email still makes the [[Lappy 486]] respond with the ripple effect, as if you were clicking directly on the screen.
* Marc's question is odd because the Geddup Noise appeared in three of the five previous emails ([[boring (really)]], [[record book]], and [[lady...ing]]).
*A get up noise like that is not even possible on carpet. Strong Bad's stool makes a noise as if it were scraping against tile or hardwood floor.
**[[The Brothers Chaps]] have mentioned this in [[army#Commentary_Transcript|the DVD commentary for "army"]].
**The noise seems to exist as an entity unto itself. It sounds without the stool even moving when Strong Bad throws over the phone, not to mention its sounding in the studio of [[The Show]].
*Strong Bad says the "get up noise" is correctly the "geddup noise", even though at the end of [[the bet]] he calls it the "get up noise".
*Strong Bad would have to have looked up the email at which the Geddup noise got his phone call, because he lost count of emails at [[website|#51]] until he was notified in [[flashback]].
*[[radio]] and [[anything]] are the only other times that Strong Sad has worn a shirt.
*When the close-up of the Disconnected Phone is shown, there is no cord extending from it. The cord is visible only when Strong Bad throws the phone on the floor.

===Goofs===
*When Strong Bad is repeatedly getting up and sitting back down again, the laces on the back of his head should be visible while he is getting up.
*When Strong Bad is doing the Git Outcha Seat Sound, the yellow seat has only three legs.
*At the end, the words 'Lappy 486' are further to the left than usual.

===Inside References===
*[[The am morning "CRUDE" crew]] was first heard in [[radio]].
*Strong Bad uses a [[Disconnected Telephone]].
*[[Boardelectrix]] also made Jurvy-Skat in [[Family Resemblence]].
*Coach Z's dance in the easter egg is the "I'm Just Me" dance from [[record book]].
*The synthesizer used for The Cheat's song in this email sounds the same as the one used for the [[Stinkoman 20X6]] soundtrack.
*The hearts popping up around Homestar's head also happened when he "fell for Strong Bad" in [[do over]].

===Real-World References===
*Strong Sad's "This Is Not A The Geddup Noise T-Shirt" refers to [[Wikipedia:Fugazi_(band)|Fugazi]]'s "This Is Not A Fugazi T-Shirt" T-shirts.
*Strong Sad's "Corporate The Geddup Noise Still Sucks" shirt is akin to the shirt worn by the late [[Wikipedia:Nirvana_(band)|Nirvana]] lead singer [[Wikipedia:Kurt_cobain|Kurt Cobain]] on the cover of [[Wikipedia:Rolling_Stone|Rolling Stone]], which read "Corporate Magazines Still Suck", which was also referenced in [[Homestarloween Party]] in which Homestar (dressed up as Kurt Cobain) wore a shirt with the SST Records' slogan "Corporate Rock Still Sucks".
*[[Wikipedia:Lou Dobbs|Lou Dobbs]] is the anchor and managing editor of CNN's [http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/lou.dobbs.tonight/ Lou Dobbs Tonight].
*[http://www.nndb.com/people/089/000024017/ Brent Musburger] is a sports announcer for ABC.
*Homestar referring to the center square is a reference to the game show [[Wikipedia:Hollywood Squares|Hollywood Squares]], where famous comics would often sit in the "center square" for long periods at a time.
*"[[Wikipedia:Indietronic|Indietronic]]" is a musical genre that merges the methods of [[Wikipedia:Electronica|electronica]] with the broader context of [[Wikipedia:Indie (music)|indie music]].

== Fun Facts ==
[[Image:tehcglitch.png|thumb|One Messed Up Main Page to Go!]]

*The ship shown when you hover over the "Characters" button is the [[Wikipedia:SS United States|SS ''United States'']], an ocean liner that operated from 1952 to 1969.
*"[[Wear a Bikini!]]" is a recurring [[Inside Jokes|inside joke]].

User talk:AbdiViklas

2005-10-10T22:49:36Z

Schuminweb: Hi from Schuminweb

=Explanatory note=
On Oct. 9, 2005, I changed my name from '''notstrongorbad''' to '''AbdiViklas'''. This was prompted by the fact that MediaWiki 1.5.0 wouldn't accept uncapitalized usernames, but motivated by a long-standing wish for a different name. So you'll see a lot of "notstrongorbad" signatures below; that was me. I've changed a few instances, especially when they link, to AbdiViklas.

== Heimstern responds! ==
Glad to see someone noticed my new user page! Yes, here at UCSB, most people start the Ph.D. program immediately after the bachelor's. Glad to hear that you remembered the Tristan chord; that is a personal fascination of mine. That being said, I am hoping to look into 20th-century tonal and/or centric music.

Hi! Greetings! I'm just stopping by, here to say a friendly 'hello'. I also wanted to give you a friendly reminder about putting up a User Page about yourself so that we may know more about you ;). No pressure, we're all busy. Hmmmm, but a petition/guestbook asking you to write a user page might be cool. Feel free to remove this if you feel it to be obstrusive. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 03:19, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:LOL--you guys are incorrigible! I just wish the real world worked that way--you walk into a party: "Hi." "Who is this fascinating stranger? You must tell us all about yourself!" Seriously, I'll get to work at once! [[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]] 04:49, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I haven't had time but to skim it so far, but I wanted to go ahead and leave a note to say thanks for letting us know about yourself. I myself was a music ed major in college (actually a double major with Spanish—and now I'm a graphic designer). I primarily played horn, but I also had to learn all the other instruments, including violin, as part of my degree plan. Cello was my favorite stringed instrument. Well, it's late, so I will give your user page the closer read it deserves in the morning. Talk atcha later! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 07:01, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Whoa! A graphic designer who can speak Spanish and play every instrument! You should, like, write an opera in Spanish and record every part yourself, then design the CD cover!
::LOL. Nice. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 07:09, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:It's funny you say that, because that's a lot of what I do. I don't write operas, but I help publish a music educators magazine for our state association. I still speak Spanish (although not as much as I should to remain fluent... gotta get on that), and I just recently finished a CD cover. If I did write an opera (and it was hard enough just writing for theory and comp classes), I don't think I could record every part myself... that is, I can play brass instruments pretty well, but my best song on the violin was "Go Tell Aunt Rhody." — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]
::I've given it a second read (I didn't wait till morning like I said I would), and although the lateness of the hour precludes my being especially witty or profound, I do have one remark: I hope that what you really meant for the last line was "The Beginning." — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 07:42, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:::Ditto. Ok where did all of my original ideas go? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 08:29, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Can you help me? ==

What is this STUFF and everything you were talking about? And can you see what this little 15 year old punk did? Every move I made he reverted, even though all but the first email one was valid.

-Mortacai
:     Absolutely. First of all, the links that bkmlb left on your talk page are good reading; [[Help:Contents|Help]] is mostly on ''how'' to do things, [[HRWiki:Standards|Standards]] more on ''what'' to do. But they're kind of a lot to take in; I just today noticed some excellent details on how to make some stuff more easily at [[User:Lapper/help]]. 
:     But to answer your question: [[HRWiki:STUFF]] is a sort of formal voting process. Using the most recent email as an example: usually when an email comes out, disagreements will arise about what they're saying; at first people will talk about them in [[Talk:geddup noise|that email's Talk page]], and if there are two clear sides, or if it's an important issue, someone will move the fact being discussed into [[Template:STUFF/geddup noise|Stuff]], using the process described in [[HRWiki:STUFF]]. There it'll be voted on; even if it's declined those votes and arguments will be archived forever and can be found. Voting tends to be pretty restrictive, i.e. not much gets by; if I'm really interested in an e-mail I'll check the archived Stuff arguments. For instance: the possible bit of trivia expressed in [[Talk:Teen_Girl_Squad_Issue_9#Byrds_reference]] is way too speculative to appear in the official, user-end page for that 'toon, but it's helpful to know. 
:     By the way, I know it's frustrating being repeatedly reverted, but dramatic actions to the official, front-page part of an article are simply met with equally dramatic reversal. When that happens, just move your point to the less public Talk or Stuff venues, and see what majority opinion is. You might be overruled, but you always have the right to express your opinion (there, at least). For example, in [[do over]], there was a LONG and HEATED debate about a possible [[Talk:do_over#Change_of_Pace_.28ACCEPTED.29|Family Guy reference]]. Jay was strongly against it, and in the end was voted down; he had to live with it, but was able to [[Talk:do_over#IMMEDIATE_contesting_of_an_Accepted_fact|continue the debate]]. 
:     So yeah, what Camalex did wasn't really unusual or rude, just the way it's done. Also, this Wiki is an amazingly civil and democratic place; conversation is (usually) done politely, and someone's age doesn't really have much to do with it. There are quite a few amazingly mature, articulate, ca.-12-yr-old users who keep the place shipshape. 
:     I know this is long, but I just wanted to say great edit on [[guitar]]. I can't believe no one had caught that earlier. --[[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]] 05:31, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

==Tha Lyrical Flow==
Hey, '''notstrongorbad''', just dropping you a line. So, you're the master of the violin, eh? My girlfriend plays one of those things in something called an "orchestra," but that just sounds like crazy music-talk to me. Dozens of musicians all playing a variety of instruments at the ''same time''? Can it be ''done''? Furthermore, do you get in bragging rights fights with the viola people? Have you ever played "the word's smallest violin" for someone?

I myself only play the electrical guitar and the electric bass, and I have zero formal training in either. Needless to say, I would never call myself a "guitarist." But, for the style of music I play (punk), ''no'' talent is necessary! Anyway, I dig your long-winded, rambling comments. There's too much succinctness, terseness and brevity at the wiki, and running up the word count rules. Cheers, {{User:Thesmokingmonkey/sig}} 12:46, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:Yeah, I used to play in a couple of community "orchestra"-contraptions until this thing called '''grad school''' (imagine [[origins|jittery green text]] plus "lurking horrors" sfx) happened. And yeah, I don't know about bragging, but violins and violas get in some good jokes at each others' expence. ("Which is bigger, a vln. or vla.? Really they're the same size; it just looks that way 'cause the violinists have such big heads." "How do you tell when the viola section is at your door? '''No one knows when to come in.'''") 
:     But punk's more fun. Now do you mean old-school, The Clash-type punk, or one of the many offspring of punk's indiscriminate liaisons with other genres (hardcore, loudcore, punk-pop (wha??? shouldn't that be a contradiction?)...)? — [[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]] 09:05, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:::'''nsob''', I knew there was some "good-natured ribbing" going on between the violin/viola sets. That's good to hear, no pun intentionally meant! As for my "craft" I was raised on the smooth, soulful sounds of [[Wikipedia:The Descendents|The Descendents]] and the [[Wikipedia:Dead Kennedys|Dead Kennedys]], so there's more than a little post-surf punk going on in my stuff: tight, sometimes sliding (you know, those surfy "twang") riffs, semi-melodic vocals, and drums that try to mix it up beyond the straight 4/4 (see the "snooty independent record store" easter egg in [[comic]] for more insight on that). My friend (and owner of one of those cute, fledging start-up labels that will be putting my "music" out) calls it "electro-punk", since I use a drum machine. Ah, the Alesis AS-16. So much, ''much'' easier to deal with than an actual drummer.

:::For my next "album," an EP, I'm basically paying tribute to one of my recent punk favorite adoptees, [[Wikipedia: The Alkaline Trio|The Alkaline Trio]], except without all the macabre imagery. Just plety of relentlessly fast guitar work and songs clocking in under two minutes. In fact, I'ma go blaze through a set right now. Thanks for responding and giving me a chance to rant about my music! — {{User:Thesmokingmonkey/sig}} 12:56, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::::LOL—yeah, there's also a joke about that new drum machine, an emulator ''so'' authentic that it shows up half an hour late for rehearsal and then asks to crash at your place because its girlfriend threw it out! (By the way, you can tell when the punk drummer is at your door because... the knocking speeds up whenever it gets louder.) — [[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]] 19:35, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::::'''Abdi''' - man, is that odd - thanks for the drummer-related laughs. Incidentally, I've worked with about half a dozen drummers, and their biggest crime was being too professional (i.e., ''prima donnas''), but perhaps one day I can work with the guy kicked out of his place by his girlfriend. That, indeed, would be rocking and scary at the same time. {{User:Thesmokingmonkey/sig}} 02:45, 10 October 2005 (UTC)~

== Welcome Question ==

I responded to the question you posed It's dot com in his talk page. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 07:58, 8 Oct 2005 (UTC)

==New name==
Heh. Oops. You should move your welcome to your new name. It will create an automatic redirect from the old name. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:28, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
:I had the impression we weren't supposed to create subpages if we can help it; are you saying I should move it to User:AbdiViklas/welcome? I just changed the references to myself and have been subst'ing it same as ever; seems to work okay. (I'm a little lost by what you mean about an automatic redirect...?) —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 02:30, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
::Yes, if you're abandoning the old name you should move it. You'll see what I mean about the redirect once you move it. Also (and I don't know whether it's too late), but you should also see [[HRWiki:Changing username]]. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:33, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
:::See the "move" link at the top of the page? That's what you're looking for on your welcome page. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:39, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
::Hm; apparently I didn't move that correctly. I guess you meant using the formal "move" procedure... I'll look into that, just a sec. But meanwhile, the old one's been marked for deletion... EDIT CONFLICT okay, thanks for the help; I'll see what I can do... —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 02:41, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
:::That better? —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 02:43, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
::::Yes. And I thought the procedure was necessary because other users' pages were linking to your old welcome, but now I see that no pages link to it. I can just delete the old one now, I suppose. (And isn't it more fun to do something the prescribed way instead of the duct-tape way? ;) ) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:47, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
::Yup! (Unless some doctor could prescribe duct-tape... I haven't found one yet.) Also, yeah, I saw [[HRWiki:Changing username|Changing username]] after it was already too late. But I had my preferences back in a few minutes, and I linked to my old contributions from my user page; I don't see that I'm missin' much. If there's anything I've missed that's a problem for the wiki, not just an inconvenience for myself, let me know! —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 02:52, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

== Hi from Schuminweb ==

Thanks for the welcome message.

I've actually been familiar with the HRWiki for quite some time, and had a username on here at least as recently as September when I did an edit on Senor Cardgage. Then I attempted to log in to make these most recent edits, and my username was gone (go figure). So I reregistered my same name. Again, go figure.

Otherwise, though, I definitely do know my way around, not only here, but I'm quite a regular Wikipedian.

Still, I don't understand how I lost my username. Ah, well. Life goes on. [[User:Schuminweb|Schuminweb]] 22:49, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Main Page 22

2005-10-09T23:11:36Z

Schuminweb:

[[Image:<nowiki>main22</nowiki>.PNG|thumb|right|220px|The virus strikes again!]]

This main page has been attacked by [[The Virus]] from the email [[virus]]. Weird glitches abound.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[The Virus]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[Bad Graphics Ghost]], [[Old Man]], [[Biscuit Dough Hands Man]], [[Strong Bad]], [[Bubs]], [[Monte Negro]]

'''Place:''' [[Computer Room]]

'''Icon:''' [[Edgarware|Edgar]]

'''Page title:''' "Drop a train on em!"

'''Date:''' December 5, 2004

==Button Effects==
*'''Toons''' — The museum button falls down to the bottom of the screen and takes out some words on the navbar. Placing the cursor over the button a second time returns it to its normal location.
*'''Games''' — The right side of the table turns black and has a red wireframe grid on it, while the [[No Loafing Sign|No Loafing sign]] turns into HTML code. Part of [[Peasant's Quest]] becomes visible on the right side of the screen, and we can see the lake with the old man fishing. Placing the cursor over the button a second time returns things back to normal.
*'''Characters''' — Homestar speaks in the loud, distorted noise that Marzipan had in the email [[virus]] (possibly a clip from the song "Satisfaction" by Benny Benassi) and the computer on the desk changes to one of several other computers (accompanied by the relevant version of disk media, except with the [[Pom Pilot]]).
*'''Downloads''' — [[Homestar Runner]]'s head switches to the old drawing style, and several popups appear on screen saying "Click here to WIN an e-Vacation!!" and "Make millions doing nothing!!" with [[Biscuit Dough Hands Man]] saying [[fhqwhgads]] (in [[Visor Robot]]'s voice) on "Make millions doing nothing!!", along with Cory from the [[That A Ghost]] toon, and [[Monte Negro]] on "Click here to WIN an e-Vacation!!". The sandwich from [[Main Page 5]] appears with a voice similar to [[Coach Z]]'s voice saying, "Quarter cheese plate scattered-smothered-covered," and eventually the startup screen for [[Edgarware|Edgar the Virus Hunter]] covers the whole screen. Bubs (in his [[Powered by The Cheat]] style from [[mile]]) gets superimposed intermittently over Edgar's face and says, "Some of my buses."
*'''Store''' — Homestar says "All right!" instead of "Store!", and his head floats to the right and into the black. Also, the "Store" button stretches out horizontally a little more each time you hover over it. It will stretch twenty-one times, and will revert to its original size on the twenty-second, but it will only change size when you hover over the normal-sized icon.
*'''Email''' — Homestar's head returns to its oldschool drawing style again, and a very misshapen Strong Bad with Marzipan's ponytail appears in the black to the left and says, "Things were just about to start getting crazy-go-nuts!" A duck from [[Duck Guardian]] appears in the lower right in the black and explodes, revealing some HTML code, and another duck appears over Strong Bad's mouth and explodes.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*Like the [[Strong Bad Email]] on which the page is based (virus), the navbar is in the same Flash file as the page itself.
*The main link at the bottom always leads to [[Main Page 1]].
*The Store button does not change colors when hovered over. This is the only instance of this on any main page, aside from [[Main Page 15]]'s E-Mail button.
*You can click on the museum link after it falls, but not the navbar links that it crushes ("sb email" and "contact").
*There is a Shotgunned Compy in the background, yet if it had been shot, it would seem to suggest that the viruses would be gone.
*The sound made when one of the popups opens when you mouse-over Downloads is the same noise Strong Bad made when a "Message Thyme" window opened up in [[marzipan]].
*Until [[Main Page 23]] was released, this page and [[Main Page 21]] were inaccessible using the "main" link on the navbar.

===Remarks===
*In order, the computers you can get from the Characters button are as follows (starting with the Shotgunned Compy 386):
**[[Tandy 400]] with [[Minor_Alternate_Versions#Other|Bad Graphics Homestar]] from [[butt IQ]] and 5.25" floppy container
**[[Tangerine Dreams]] with the [[crazy cartoon]] cartoon and CD-R spindle
**[[Compy 386]] with System Report (from [[50 emails]], [[The System is Down]], and [[Not the 100th Email!!!]]) taped to the screen and 3.5" floppy container
**Broken Tandy 400 with [[Bad Graphics Ghost]] and 5.25" floppy container
**[[Pom Pilot]] (alone)
**[[Lappy 486]] with 3.5" floppy container
*The floppy disk in the [[Floppy Disk Container]] says "Oregon Trail 2" for the Broken Compy, Compy with system report, and The Lappy. For both of the Tandys, it says "Oregon Trail". There are no labels on the CDs next to [[Tangerine Dreams|The Cheat's computer]].
*Each button has a different [[Fonts|font]] and/or style.
**The Toons button has the regular button font (Bauhaus Thin).
**The Games button has the navbar button font. If you view the Flash file and zoom in, you'll see the Games text seem to change to bold. This is because the text isn't embedded into the Flash file, but rather being read from your computer. To put it simply, zoomed out it's a 12 point font, but zoomed in, it's 72. It also changes font type when clicked. 
**The Characters button has the "Last Updated" font from the upper-right corner of the main page (Comix Heavy). The word "Characters" turns yellow when hovered above and it also changes green when clicked.
**The Store button has the font from the "Latest Updates" buttons (Potrezebie). Also, when it is clicked, only the word moves downwards, not the button.
**The Downloads and E-mail buttons are the older-style buttons from [[HR:main6x.swf|Old Main Page 6]], [[Luau Main Page]], and [[Main Page 10]]. These have a plain, solid-colored background unlike the newer style with shaded button backgrounds. 
*The HTML Code revealed when the duck from Duck Guardian explodes is "<html stuff><body><href>combledon".
*When the [[Random Toon|random toon]] link ("rando") was added to the [[HR:main_nav.swf|navbar]], The Brothers Chaps forgot or chose not to update this page, as it does not use the regular navbar.

===Glitches===
*The Quote of the Week, Sketchbook, Fan Stuff, and Random Toon boxes appear slightly to the left of where they usually are. This also affect toons that pop up, like [[Biz Cas Fri 1]].
**This is because the menu has some black space on both sides, altering where the boxes are supposed to anchor themselves.
**This glitch also pops up on the [[Strong Bad's Room Main Page]] for the same reasons.
***Because of this glitch, you can see a quirky thing happen when you click the quote of the week button. For a Split second you will be able to see Homestar's face and a short blurb saying "Oh Haldo! This is my funniest word style ever times that I've said! Hope all is on to it even more lately! And I wish the chicken & msg place was open on Somedays."
****A previous version of the Quote of the Day page read "Oh Hello! This is my funniest word style ever that I said! Hope you're into it!". It was changed sometime in mid-April 2005, probably the 15th (the date reported in the "Last-Modified" HTTP header for qod.swf). The reason for the change is as yet unknown.
*When Peasant's Quest appears, you can still click on the covered "First Time Here" link and the hidden area of the What's New button.
*There is a sound glitch in the characters button. If you repeatedly play the glitched sound by hovering over 'Characters', all the sound in the file will stop for a few seconds.
*If you roll over the Store button several times, to make it grow, then roll over the Downloads button, you can still see the left edge of the Store button when Edgar pops up.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad's line "Things were just about to start getting [[Crazy Go Nuts University|crazy-go-nuts]]!" is from the toon [[The Luau]].
*"Drop a train on 'em!" is what [[Strong Bad]] said when he ran [[Edgarware]] in [[virus]].
*The "fhqwhgads" sound clip is from [[Everybody to the Limit]].
* When Bubs says 'some of my buses', this is a reference to [[Strong Bad Email]] #87, [[mile]].
*Homestar's torso is from [[The_Homestar_Runner|Old-Timey Homestar]]
*Homestar's quip of "All right!" is taken from the [[Homestar Talker]].
*Homestar's head turning backwards when going out of the screen may refer to [[Main Page 10]].
*While [[TrogdorCon '97]] was the new short, scrolling over "new short!" would make half of the Cheat's horn (from that short) appear. Clicking on the horn would start the short.

Strong Bad's Computer Malfunctioning

2005-10-09T23:10:06Z

Schuminweb: Fixed "flagrant error" image by using "nowiki" tags, which, amazingly, worked!

[[Image:<nowiki>flagrant</nowiki> system error.PNG|right|thumb|That's not a good prize!]]
'''[[Strong Bad]]'s Computer Malfunctioning''' happens to every computer he's had (excluding the [[Lappy 486]]... so far), and seem to happen in some famously tragic ways, most often with a Flagrant System Error or by exploding (the latter ending the computer's run to be replaced by a newer, better, but still obsolete version).

==System Errors==
[[Image:Office Compy PuppetStuff.jpg|thumb|More flamboyant, Less flagrant]]
The '''System Error''' screen appears whenever Strong Bad's computer crashes. It is an obvious reference to the [[Wikipedia:Blue screen of death|blue screen of death]] that appears on Windows computers.

===Flagrant System Error===
<blockquote class="email" style="background:darkblue; text-align:center">FLAGRANT SYSTEM ERROR 
 
The system is down. I dunno know what 
you did, moron, but you sure 
screwed everything up good.</blockquote>
===Computer Over Notification===
<blockquote class="email" style="background:darkblue;text-align:center">FLAGRANT SYSTEM ERROR 
 
Computer over. 
Virus = Very Yes.</blockquote>
===Flamboyant System Error===

==Strong Bad's Computers Exploding==
[[Image:sbemail33.PNG|thumb|I'm fine! Nothing happened; I'm fine!]]
Some of Strong Bad's Computers are also known to explode spontaneously. Probably the most famous of these explosions was the explosion of the [[Tandy 400]], which was later fixed (though it still had some malfunctions, such as deleting emails he wanted saved, and saving emails he wanted deleted).

===Appearances===
*[[gimmicks]]
*[[virus]] (after being shotgunned)
*[[Biz Cas Fri 3]]

==Miscellaneous Malfunctions==
[[Image:Fixedished_Tandy.PNG|thumb|I hate this computer.]]
Strong Bad's computers often have random malfunctions, sometimes due to [[gimmicks|explosions]] or [[The Virus|viruses]]. These malfunctions are short-lived, however.
