==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:'''{rapping} Letters. And words. Emails get absurd, I just gotta jump back?

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: bike thieves</div>
Hey Strong Bad, 
I'm at college and I need to keep my bike from being 
stolen. I figure if I think like a thief, I can figure out 
how to protect it. So, how would you try to steal my bike? 
Virginia 
MI
</blockquote>
''{Strong Bad reads MI as two letters}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' ''{disappointed tone}'' Oh, not smart enough for MIT, huh? Just MI? ''{clears screen}'' ''{regular voice}''Well first off, how do you know your crappy bike is even worth stealing? How many pegs you got? Mag wheels? White tires? Worthless baseball card in the spokes? If not, then you got nothing to worry about. What self-respecting bicycle thief would steal a (shudder) ten-speed? Or a (shudder, shudder) mounTAIN bike? The only thing those bikes gets you is tired. Any bike with a water bottle holder is a complete waste of bike. ''{clears screen}'' But, let's pretend you do have a cool bike. I would first go to my old thieving standby: dress up like a bush. ''{pronounces it "boosh"}''

''{Cut to the field. Strong Bad is hiding behind a short berry bush with cartoon eyes, his feet clearly visible. He shuffles over to a pink bicycle, carrying the bush with him. He picks up the bike through the bush, and starts carrying it away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow.
''{Pull out to see Pom Pom talking on a phone. He looks away from his phone to glare at Strong Bad.}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{walking offscreen}'' Oh, I mean... Bush. Bush. Leaves. Branch. Um... Berries.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And don't forget: dressing up as a bush is also a great way to get free pizza!

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand. Strong Bad walks up to the counter behind his bush costume.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Can I have some free pizza?

'''BUBS:''' Sure thing, bush!

''{Bubs pulls a pizza box from behind the counter and drops it on top of the bush. Strong Bad walks off-screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Variations on this approach—

''{Cut to the field, with just Strong Bad standing in the middle of screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —include dressing up as a cactus,—

''{The bush is replaced by a cactus, with Strong Bad badly concealed behind it, and cartoony eyes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —a trashcan,—

''{The cactus is replaced by a trashcan, again with cartoony eyes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —or a barrel.

''{The trashcan is replaced by a wooden barrel, yet again with cartoony eyes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Though, depending on your physique—

''{The Cheat appears next to Strong Bad's barrel.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —you could also dress up like... a hideous pile—

''{The Cheat turns into a pile of unidentified pink goo, with tufts of hair, a crushed can, a plank of wood, a circular saw blade, and two misaligned cartoony eyes. Strong Bad inches away from the mess. Strong Mad appears on the other side of the barrel.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —or a... textile factory?

''{Strong Mad turns into a factory building, signed "BRRLAP", with cartoony eyes near the roof. Cut back to the computer room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So if I were you, I'd steer clear of pretty much anything with cartoon eyeholes. If that method didn't work for me, I'd go for the awkward swindle. This is especially effective on college campuses.

''{Cut to The Stick. A silhouette of a CGNU building is visible in the background. Homestar, wearing a backpack and backwards cap, is chaining up his white bike to The Stick, the chain is simply looped over the top branch. Strong Bad, sporting a ponytail, walks in, carrying a clipboard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, brother. Hey, my bromide. You look like a cool guy who likes to progress. I was wondering if you'd be interested in signing this petition to ban roll-on...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, um, yeah, sorry, uh, I've got a class...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...free vegan food...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...and my roommate's like... you know...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...fellowship...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...so, my parents, um...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...drum circle?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Computer lab! ''{darts off-screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Man. so effective! I've stolen people's lunches this way... their girlfriends... puppies even!

''{Strong Bad throws away his clipboard and walks over to Homestar's bike, and starts kicking the tires. Marzipan walks in, with multicolored dreadlocks, and her own clipboard.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hey, my bromide, wanna sign this...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Meal plan! ''{darts offscreen}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Cool, man, free bike.

''{Cut back to the computer room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But my all-time favorite thiefnique has got to be, the best use of black turtlenecks and suction cups ever devised: cat-burgling!

''{Cut to a featureless orange wall. Strong Bad climbs up the wall with suction cups, wearing a black turtleneck and beanie.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Almost... to the top!

''{Cut to Strong Bad's basement... Strong Bad climbs up from behind the orange couch. The bicycle seat [[Red, White, and Banana]] is on the couch, and two laser guns duct taped to the couch on either side of it. Strong Bad pulls out a spray can of "C'mon! It's Fog!" and sprays it into the air, revealing the two laser beams.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, Ponch. Laser tech security! I'll have to employ some Chinese acrobatics!

''{Strong Bad tries to jump up, but is stuck to the couch.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh, these suction cups are stuck to the side of this couchscraper. Ah, somebody? The Cheat? Come put that bicycle seat in my mouth! Gently!

''{The lights turn on.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, Jon! Light tech security!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{walking in}'' Well, if you had agreed to play Cats the musical, instead of cat-burglar, maybe you wouldn't be stuck to the back of the couch again.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I would rather die.

''{Cut back to the computer room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' That's how I'd do it, College Bike Owner. So keep away from shrubbery, don't talk to anyone with a clipboard, and avoid putting your bike on the roof of glass skyscrapers.

''{During the next part, Strong Bad types "Your bike should be totally safe if you listen to me. I am a good person that gives sound advice. Bike on, my friend, bike on!" while he says his other lines.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Secret message to bike thieves!

''{The words "SECRET MESSAGE!" flash on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bolt cutters, guys! Just use bolt cutters!

''{The words "BOLT CUTTERS!" flash on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' We'll split the pawn-shop money fitty-fitty!

''{The words "FITTY FITTY!" flash on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' See you next time!

''{[[New Paper]] comes down, printing a picture of [[The Paper]].}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nice try, New Papes. Though that does make me feel a little better... he was so stripedy...

==Easter Eggs==
*After Strong Bad says MI, click on it to see a pennant for Mediocre Institute.
*Click on "baseball card" to see a [[Trading Cards#From bike thief|trading card]].
*At the end, click on "safe" for this:
:''{The Lappy slowly moves to the right}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, what the?
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{dressed up as a trash can, speaking in a monotone voice}'' Garbage. Garbage. Rubbish. Umm... murder weapon.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Are you supposed to be a trash can or a robot?
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ummm... ''{pulls out petition reading "The Bromide Solution"}'' you wanna sign this petition, my bromide?

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*"Mag wheels", (not to be confused with [[Wikipedia:Magnesium alloy wheels|Magnesium alloy wheels]]) are wheels on a bike that are made with larger and thicker spokes than on a typical bike. Typical mags had 5 to 6 large "spokes". The bike pictured in this episode is a bike with wheel covers. These plastic covers actually fit on the outside of a traditional spoked wheel, much like a hubcap on a car.
*"Pegs" are metal tubes affixed to a bicycle's front or rear axle, allowing the rider to balance their weight on an area other than the pedals and freeing the body of the bike for a wider range of tricks.
*A bromide is an ion of a bromine atom with a charge of -1. Such bromides as potassium bromide were once used as sedatives, leading to the once prevalent use of the word "bromide" to indicate someone or something is platitudinous and boring.
**Bromide is water soluble, so a bromide solution would be bromide in water.
*Attaching a baseball card to the spokes would simulate the sound of a motorcycle as the wheel rotates.
*"[http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=earf Earf]" is a dialectic spelling of "Earth."

===Trivia===
*Strong Bad's petition reads:
<blockquote>-PETITION- 
i do hearby sign that 
i am in full support 
of fully supporting 
all the good causes 
and casual effects of 
said causes and, as it 
were, caucuses. now, 
previously, and also 
futurely held... 
X________________</blockquote>
*Marzipan's petition reads:
<blockquote>Counter-Petition 
I, the willing signer of this 
document, betta recognize 
that Earf in trouble. Earf 
injured. Injured bad. 
 
X______________</blockquote>

*Homestar's bike is a Huffy SIGMA circa 1987.
*The summary for the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed reads, "Strong Bad teaches a college kid how to avoid getting their bike stolen."

=== Remarks ===
*In [[hygiene]], two emails prior, Strong Bad complained about a lack of college girls sending him email. The sender of this email, Virginia, appears to be a female college student.
*"Thiefnique" is a [[portmanteau]] of "thief" and "technique."
*"Couchscraper" is a [[portmanteau]] of "couch" and "skyscraper."
*"Brrlap" on Strong Mad's textile-mill disguise refers to [[Wikipedia:burlap|burlap]], a durable but coarse cloth made of vegetable fiber.
*Strong Bad can spray the can of fog, although his hands are stuck to the couch later.
*Homestar's trash disguise has his own eyes, whereas Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat wore disguises with a unified, cartoony eye pattern, quite distinct from their own.
*Homestar boasted in [[cliffhangers]] that he had the history and the motive to steal the Lappy.
*While Homestar is stealing the Lappy, clicking its screen will not create any ripples.
*Strong Bad's bush disguise bears a similarity to a berry-laden bush appearing in the [[Peasant's Quest]] video game.
*This is the first toon to show the exterior of a [[Crazy Go Nuts University|CGNU]] building (assuming that the tower in the background is in fact a building).
*Strong Bad claims that no self-respecting bicycle thief would steal a "mounTAIN bike." Then, dressed as the bush, he proceeds to steal Pom Pom's mountain bike.
*Assuming the couch is a standard one with fabric upholstery, Strong Bad ''couldn't'' have either climbed up or gotten stuck to the couch with suction cups.
*At the end of the [[Podstar Runner]] version of the email, the Easter egg of the Lappy slowly moving to the right starts automatically; however, it does not show Homestar Runner stealing it.

===Goofs===
[[Image:Backwards Pizza.PNG|thumb|azziP dlO 'sbuB "sdrawkcab yllaer a-s'tI"]]
*After Strong Bad receives the pizza and turns around, the logo on the pizza box gets reversed.
*When College Strong Bad throws the clipboard into the air, and then a second time he throws it off the screen, the entire text occasionally gets reversed.
*The printed The Paper is straight and does not follow the curvature of the New Paper.
*The word "safe" can be clicked even while the monitor continues to move in the Easter egg at the end, which restarts that segment from the beginning.
*When Homestar steals the Lappy, the power cord doesn't stretch or move. Instead it stays as it is.
*In the podstar version, the audio only plays on the left speaker until after the switch back to Strong Bad's lappy after Marzipan's line.
*In the easter egg, during the cut to the wide shot, the New Paper disappears.

===Fixed Goofs===
*Strong Bad misspelled "enough" as "enogh" in the beginning of his response. This was fixed a few hours after it was released.

===Inside References===
*The pizza Bubs gives Strong Bad is [[Bubs' Old Pizza]] from [[privileges]].
*Pom Pom's costume is from [[technology]].
*The cat-burglar scene shows another instance of [[duct tape]].
*Strong Bad's cat-burgling outfit was seen before in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]] (minus the suction cups).
*The music playing as Strong Bad first appears in his bush disguise made its debut as [[Sterrance]]'s theme in [[animal]].
*The bicycle seat [[Red, White, and Banana]] first appeared in [[the chair]].
*When Strong Bad attempts to steal the bike seat off of [[the couch]], he is foiled by two [[Wikipedia:Lazer Tag|Lazer Tag]] guns. [[The Poopsmith]] previously carried one of these guns when he [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats Costumes#The Poopsmith|dressed up in Lazer Tag gear]] in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]].
*Strong Bad's line, "I would rather [[Death|die]]," when asked to do something with someone, was first heard in [[Biz Cas Fri 1]].
*The can in The Cheat's hideous pile is the same as the can Homestar kicks in the Easter egg in "[[original]]".
* Strong Bad's intro song is to the same tune as [[Strong Sad]]'s lyrical [[rampage]].

===Real-World References===
*Strong Bad makes reference to the [[Wikipedia:Massachusetts Institute of Technology|Massachusetts Institute of Technology]].
*The [[Crazy Go Nuts University|CGNU]] building bears a strong resemblance to [[Wikipedia:Tech Tower|Tech Tower]], the main administrative building on the [[Wikipedia:Georgia Institute of Technology|Georgia Tech]] campus in downtown Atlanta, not far from where [[The Brothers Chaps]] live.
*''[[Wikipedia:Cats (musical)|Cats]]'' is a musical stage production, premiering in 1981, in which all the actors, portraying cats, perform in skin-tight costumes.
*[[Wikipedia:Ban (deodorant)|Ban]] Roll On is the name of an actual deodorant product.
*Ponch and Jon were the main characters of the television show [[Wikipedia:CHiPs|CHiPs]].
*The laser guns taped to the couch appear to be [[Wikipedia:Lazer Tag|Lazer Tag]] "StarLyte" pistols.

===Fast Forward===
*Strong Bad concludes two sbmails with the line "See you next time!" in [[Sbemailiarized!]]
*The word "Earth" is misspelled again in [[Pistols for Pandas]].
*[[Swampslash]] uses a battery disguise similar to the ones used here by Strong Bad and Homestar in [[2 Part Episode: Part 2]].

Homestar Runner's House

Forteblast — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 07:42:14 GMT

Forteblast: /* Interior */ "computer room"

'''[[Homestar Runner]]'s House''', in [[The Reddest Radish]] and [[In Search of the Yello Dello|In Search of the Yello Dello]], is a cartoonish red hut with white spots; yet in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]], [[Homestar Presents: Presents]], the email [[rampage]], and in the short [[Play Date]], his house is a normal suburban house with yellow siding, bearing a striking resemblance to the [[Peanuts]] kids' houses. Unless he's moved (or has more than one house), what the outside of Homestar's house really looks like remains a mystery, but it seems that the more logical choice would be his normal house with siding, as his "In Search Of The Yello Dello" home and his "The Reddest Radish" home both were made a while back. It may be that he simply moved to the new house first seen in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]]. Regardless, it doesn't seem to matter to him where he lives, as he spends an astonishing amount of time in both [[House of the Brothers Strong|Strong Bad's]] and [[Marzipan's House|Marzipan's]] homes. In [[flashback]], he even comments that he thinks he lives in the Brothers' Strong's house.

Image:Outside_Homestars_House.PNG|Homestar's normal house</gallery>
<div style="clear:both;"></div>

==Interior==
The inside of his house was first seen in the email [[caper]], when [[Strong Bad]] and [[The Cheat]] broke into it. It has since been seen in [[radio]], [[garage sale]], [[Homestar Presents: Presents]], [[slumber party]], and [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]]. The interior of Homestar's house has green walls and [[Hanging Objects#Homestar Runner's House|pictures of himself through the years]]. Homestar's white table with the sliding doors is similar to one sold by [[Wikipedia:IKEA|IKEA]]. It also has a [[cow lamp]] which The Cheat broke in [[caper]]. It was repaired and seen again in [[radio]], but Homestar broke it again after The Cheat tried to steal it in [[garage sale]].

Homestar's bedroom, first seen in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]], has maroon walls, a window, Homestar's bed (bare box spring only), and an alarm clock/radio labeled "[[Homestar's Clock]]" on a dresser. Homestar's room is on the second floor.

Homestar watches [[Tee Bee|television]] in his TV room, where the [[TV Time Toons Menu]] is located. He also keeps his TV stand (where his tapes are kept) and sofa here. He sometimes invites Strong Bad over to watch TV with him, an invitation that Strong Bad usually accepts (probably because Homestar has the better TV).

Homestar also has a bathroom which has a shower in it (seen on [[Main Page 14]]).

Homestar may have his own computer room, but since it's shown to have the same green walls and wooden floor as his living room, it's possible that it's located in a different part of the living room (seen in [[email thunder]]).

[[Image:Pizza_Joint_The_Field.PNG|thumb|The Field]]
'''The Field''' is just a plain, grassy field in [[Free Country, USA]] where various [[toons]] take place. It is also the home of [[The Stick]]. In [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]], it is directly connected to [[Strong Badia]], [[Bubs' Concession Stand]], the [[Gremlin]], [[the brick wall]], and the [[Snap Shak]].

'Lectric Boots

[[Image:lectric boots2.png|thumb|left|'Lectric Boots]]
[[Image:sketchbook lectricboots.png|thumb|220px|right|'Lectric Boot sketches and a one-legged Strong Bad]]
''''Lectric Boots''' are large metal shoes with flashing lights made by [[Ol' Fatty's]]. Despite the implications of the marketing claims, during operation the boots are loud and draw enough current to blow a household circuit breaker in a few seconds.

[[Strong Bad]] eventually decided to sell them for $116 at his [[garage sale]]. Apparently, [[Bubs]] bought them, as one of them was seen in [[Senorial Day]].

A boot with an appearance similar to that of the 'Lectric Boots was seen on Strong Bad's wooden cutout in the email [[portrait]].

They also appear as a hidden costume item in [[Strong Badia the Free]]. When using the King of Town's [[Snacky 186]], send a Food Request template e-mail to anyone, filling in the third blank with 'Lectric Boots. They will then appear in a box to the left of the desk immediately after sending it.

==Marketing Promises==
*[[Wikipedia:Solid state (electronics)|Solid State!!]]
*No Fewer Than 8 Lights FLASHING!!
*Whisper Quiet!!

== Fun Facts ==
*The marketing promise "whisper quiet" is a reference to products such as mechanical fans, which sound identical to the 'Lectric Boots while running.

Forteblast: The Cheat's explanation

[[Image:SnapShakExterior.png|thumb|As seen from the outside]]
'''Snap Shak''' is the name of a [[Wikipedia:photo booth|photo booth]] in [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]], located in [[The Field]], featuring pictures of [[Pom Pom]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[Marzipan]] and [[Bubs]] on the exterior. It is much bigger on the inside than it appears to be from the outside, extending into a large area and then dropping off into [[Outer Space]]. Entering it allows [[Strong Bad]] to change costume items and pose for [[Snappy|photos]]. If the episode has been completed, Strong Bad is allowed to wear the costume pieces outside of the Shak, but otherwise re-appears in his normal clothes before leaving.

Each episode contains five backdrops for photos, as well as hidden costume pieces for Strong Bad to find. Costume pieces found in previous episodes carry forward to the next, but those found in future episodes do not carry back to the previous ones. Strong Bad can wear one item each on his head, body, legs, and feet, plus an additional accessory item. If Strong Bad walks off the edge inside the Snap Shak and falls into Outer Space three times, he will flip and walk on the other side of the floor. In the first two episodes, he can then go over to the area above the door to find a secret cross-promotional shirt, which differs by episode.

[[The Cheat]] is always present in the Snap Shak as an attendant and (possibly) cameraman, regardless of his current whereabouts in the story. [[The Paper]] translates his instructions, presumably for the player's benefit, as Strong Bad has no difficulty understanding him elsewhere in the game.

==Costume pieces by episode==
'''[[Homestar Ruiner]]''' 
Hats: Homestar's head, red chef hat, knit cap, Carabowdit hair

'''Snappy''' is [[Strong Bad]]'s digital camera in [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]]. It can be used to take pictures almost anywhere in the game, though the [[Snap Shak]] exists for posed photo opportunities and storage of various costumes.

On the PC version, pictures taken are stored (in [[Wikipedia:Portable Network Graphics|.png format]]) to the ~\My Documents\Telltale Games\Episode # - Episode Name\ if on Windows XP, or ~\Documents\Telltale Games\Episode # - Episode Name\ on Windows Vista, where ~ is the user directory.

On the Wii version, snapshots are stored to the game's save file as [[Wikipedia:JPEG|JPEG]]s, and four can be saved at a time. Photos can be emailed (using the [[Lappy 486]]) to people on your [[Wikipedia:Wii Menu#Wii Message Board|Wii Message Board]] Friends List.

[[Image:Tony Stony 2.png|thumb|"I LOVE YOU, TONY STONY!"]]
'''Tony Stony''' is a large rock with a red bow that [[Strong Mad]] got for [[Decemberween]] in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]]. He has a smiling, winking face drawn on him. Strong Mad loves him, and suspects that Tony loves him more. It is a parody of the '70s [[Wikipedia:Pet rock|pet rock]] fad.

It later appears (sans bow) in [[Strong Badia the Free]] as an important diplomat from Strong Mad's country, Country. However, Tony is much smaller in this appearance. When Tony first appears, he is nearly the same width as Strong Mad. In Strong Badia the Free, he is closer to basketball size, such that Strong Bad can carry him around (with some difficulty).

Forteblast: Strong Badia the Free

[[Image:municipality.png|thumb|Poopertrooper and the Dictator of Town]]
'''The [[Wikipedia:Municipality|Municipality]]''' is the designation of the [[Wikipedia:Totalitarianism|totalitarian]] governmental establishment (modeled after [[Wikipedia:Utopian and dystopian fiction#Dystopian_fiction|dystopian novels]] such as [[Wikipedia:Nineteen Eighty-Four|1984]]) that apparently rules over [[Free Country, USA]], as headed by [[The King of Town]]. [[The Poopsmith]] serves as a grunt worker. [[Strong Bad]] has expressed a desire to riot against it, and in [[disconnected]], his body does so while his head gives career advice to [[Homestar Runner]].

It appears that the Municipality uses [[Wikipedia:propaganda|propaganda]] to further show its own power. One such poster had the stylized logo and images of poopertroopers standing side by side with the words "We're onto you" across the bottom.

The Logo for the Municipality is the King Of Town's head with [[Wikipedia:Darth Vader|Darth Vader]]-like attributes. The name "Poopertrooper" could be a connection to this, as Darth Vader's elite shock troops were called 'Stormtroopers.'

In [[more armies]], the motto of The Municipality is revealed to be "Honor. Valor. [[Butter|Buttor]].", which relates to The King of Town's questionable eating habits.

A Municipality poster was on the locker room wall in [[Homestar Ruiner]], as well as a brief flickering image on the [[Lappy 486]] at the end, and has have a major role in episode 2, [[Strong Badia the Free]]. In it, the King of Town uses his authority to impose an e-mail tax as an elaborate ruse to switch places with Strong Bad, making him ruler while the King of Town eats snacks and writes e-mails. Strong Bad restores the King to the throne by imposing a tax on snack cakes. In the episode, the King's e-mail address is shown to be kingoftown@themunicipality.gov.

==Poopertrooper==

[[Image:SK-2006-03-16.PNG|thumb|Poopertrooper sketches]]
'''Poopertrooper''' is The Poopsmith as The King of Town's bodyguard. He is the main line of defense in "The Municipality". He may also be the line of offense, as he has a bat as a weapon. On the Support the Municipality wallpaper and [[:Image:Support Municipality T-Shirt Back.PNG|T-shirts]], they appear in groups with the warning, "We're onto you."

His armor resembles that of a police officer in [[Wikipedia:Riot control|riot gear]]. Indeed, in [[disconnected]], he protected the King of Town from Strong Bad, who threw "[[:Image:Sbemail148.PNG|riot rocks]]" at him. In that way, he is probably both a body guard and a policeman.

[[Image:Snakeboxer5.jpg|left|thumb|83 Percent Snake Handler Approved!]][[Image:SnakeBoxer5TitleScreen.png|thumb|So much better than Snake Boxer 4.]][[Image:SnakeBoxerShot.jpg|thumb|50 times cooler than Snake Boxer 2!]]
'''[[Snake]] Boxer 5''' (or '''Snake Boxer V''') is one of the minigames in ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]]:[[Homestar Ruiner]]'', accessible by using the [[Atari 2600]] (referred to in-game as the "[[FunMachine]]") in [[Strong Bad's Room]]. Strong Bad comments that it is "so much better than the unfortunate ''Snake Boxer 4: Lady Snake Parade''" and "fifty times cooler than ''Snake Boxer 2: The Biting of Boxer Joe''". Gameplay resembles that of [http://www.atariage.com/software_page.html?SoftwareID=882 Boxing] for the Atari 2600. The Homestar Ruiner gameplay video [[Homestar Ruiner#Transcript of Around the Field|"Around the Field"]] shows an [[:Image:SnakeBoxer5ManualSBCG4AP.png|updated cover]] of the Snake Boxer 5 manual, which features the [[Videlectrix]] logo. This is the first confirmation that Snake Boxer 5 was made by Videlectrix.

The game has an unlockable [[Wikipedia:cheat code|cheat code]], which is unlocked by finding all the pages of Strong Bad's long-lost manual. According to Strong Bad, it unlocks "Snake Boxer 5's Super-Secret Forbidden mode". In the Forbidden Mode, you play as another, larger snake. Instead of punching, the snake lunges with the attack key. The guard key draws the snake back instead of defending, but holding the button down allows your snake to breathe fire, doing more damage.

On May 9, 2008, Telltale Games announced a [[Telltale:community/blogs/id-336|contest]] to come up with Snake Boxer 5's tagline. According to [http://telltalegames.com/forums/showpost.php?p=65797&postcount=12 this forum post], the winning taglines will not be used in the game, but the winners' names will.

The name '''Dan''' appears in the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work several times, especially in the newer [[games]]. The name is frequently used as "[verb] 'em up, Dan!" and "[adjective] Dan". After [[The Brothers Chaps]] were [[Club Aquatica Interview - 29 Oct 2003|interviewed]] by [http://www.homestarrunner.net homestarrunner.net] member "Dan" in late 2003, the use of "Dan" became more prolific. Dan is also the name of one of the Chaps' cousins, which is one of the reasons that this name is used so often.

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Good morning, Mr. ''E''-mail, there's a call for you, on line two. ''{brings up the email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: road trip</div>
Dear Fatty bad, 
Do you ever go on road trips with your gang?

That guy, from that place
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "I've actually lost two pounds in the last nine months, thank you very much" instead of "Fatty" and "Pete from Pete's parents' basement" instead of "That guy, from that place".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, yeah! Me and The Cheat, we're roadtripcionados. And one thing I've found, is that every good road trip needs a good inside joke that only the people that ''went'' on the road trip will get. ''{clears screen}'' And your friends that ''didn't'' go on the road trip will want to kill your legs every time you bring it up. These days, I make up the inside joke before I go on the road trip, just in case one doesn't happen. For this road trip, we'll make it... jumbo/LARGE. Get it? jumbo/LARGE? It's like a maxymoron.

''{Cut to the Field. Strong Bad and The Cheat are standing in front of the Gremlin; and an object covered by a yellow-splotched cloth is on the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, you ready to go, The Cheat? Why is Strong Mad hiding under that not-originally-yellow-spotted sheet from Strong Sad's bedroom? Not my bedroom.

''{Pan to the right so that the entire object covered by the sheet is visible}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises. Pulls back the cloth to reveal many stacked aluminum cans. Excited The Cheat noises.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Eighty-something cases of Bull Honkey! ''{close-up of Strong Bad}'' That's my favorite caffeinergy sauce! ''{back to wider view}'' Oh, this road trip is ''definitely'' going to be ''{dances}'' jumbo/LARGE.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{looks annoyed, quizzical The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Just laugh at it. It's an inside joke. It's going to be hilarious.

''{Cut to the inside of the Gremlin. The Cheat is sitting behind the wheel. Strong Bad enters the passenger's seat and shuts the car door.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Road trip city, here we come!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Keys? I don't have any keys. Look, the only thing I know about this car is what Bubs told me. And that's that the windows and doors are broken and you can't open them from the inside.

''{The Cheat glares at Strong Bad, annoyed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Right. ''{under his breath}'' That was pretty poor planning on my part.

''{Cut to a distant view of a silhouette of the Gremlin against a yellow sky}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{calling out}'' Bubs? Green Bubs? ''{a tumbleweed rolls by}'' Anybody?

''{cut back to inside the car}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, forget it. I'm not gonna let a little setback like this ruin our road trip. What we need is some grub. Pull over at this next exit up here. ''{The Cheat turns the steering wheel}'' I know a little roadside diner called "Beneath the Passenger's Seat". ''{goes under the seat}''

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

''{Cut to a view of the passenger's seat from above. Strong Bad's leg is visible on the right}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, we got a small order of petrifries ''{brings out three French fries covered in hair}'', a large melt shake that's almost eaten through the cup ''{brings out an old cup that says "Melt Shake" and is stained brown on the bottom}'', ooh, and for dessert, a half-sucked booterscotch in desperate need of a shave ''{brings out an orange, egg-shaped candy covered with hair and a nail-clipping}''.

''{return to front view of the Gremlin}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, cool, that was disgusting. Now alls we need to wash the taste out of our brains is some jammin' tunes!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{exclamatory The Cheat noises. Brings out a CD that says "road trip mix".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' A mix CD! ''{singing}'' That, my friend, is jumbo/LARGE. ''{normal voice}'' Now, let's put it in and crank it up!

''{cut to view of Gremlin's dashboard, which contains an eight-track player labeled "8-TRAX".}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{tries to put the CD in the eight-track player. The Cheat noises.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Naw, just force it in there. ''{return to front view of the Gremlin}'' I'm sure that thing's forwards compatible.

''{The Cheat pushes CD into player. The edges of the CD break off.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, yeah, The Cheat. These are some jammin' tunes! ''{singing}'' And now we're jammin'! ''{in falsetto}'' Jammin' tunes! Jammin tunes ''{in his normal voice}'' Now we're jammi— ''{shouting quickly}'' Oh, who am I kidding; this is the worst road trip ever! ''{puts his head down on the dashboard}'' The Cheat ''{cut to silhouette view of the Gremlin}'', we're gonna die in this Gremlin!

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

''{The sky darkens}''

'''SINGERS:''' ''{unseen, in high voices}'' And now we're jammin'! Jammin' tunes! Jammin' tunes! Now we're jammin'! jumbo/LAAAAARGE!

''{cut to view of Strong Bad and the Cheat in the Gremlin, this time from an angle}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Like, look at that little stain over there! ''{cut to a view looking up at the car roof}'' That could be a whole 'nother world. With a whole 'nother Strong Bad and The Cheat stuck in a Gremlin. ''{a light shines on The Cheat and Strong Bad.}''

''{cut to a view looking out the window; Homestar Runner is standing outside holding a flashlight}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{looking annoyed}'' All right, young lovers. Move it along! What do you think this is, Make-out Point?

''{cut to view of the Gremlin from outside}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, it's me and The Cheat! We're stuck in here!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Unlikely story, Backseat Bradley!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Just open the door; I'll explain everything!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, but before I do, ''{no longer looking annoyed}'' I'm looking for my jumbo/LARGE melt shake! I think I left it in there a week or month ago. ''{cut back to view of Homestar Runner through the car window}'' Either of you guys find it? ''{opens the door}''

''{cut back to view of the Gremlin from outside}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{exits the Gremlin}'' Oh, sweet two feet from where I just was! How I've missed you so!

''{cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Luckily, Officer Cheese-for-butt let us off with just a warning. And ''that'' was our road trip. Or, more accurately our car trip, since we didn't go on any roads. Or, even more accurately, our car, since we didn't go on any trips either. So yeah, Pete from Pete's parents' basement, I go on car with my gang all the time. And that's the end of this email. Until next time everybody, remember to stay j-LARGE.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*Petrifries is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Petrification|petrification]], which is the process by which organic material is converted into stone or a similar substance.
*[[Wikipedia:Forward compatibility|Forward compatible]] products try to cater to future technology, such as new input devices.
*Maxymoron is a play on the word [[Wikipedia:oxymoron|oxymoron]], although jumbo/LARGE is not actually an oxymoron; it behaves like a [[Wikipedia:pleonasm|pleonasm]], or the opposite of an oxymoron.
*The "honk em if you got em" bumper sticker is quite possibly a jab at the military expression "smoke em if you got em", a term soldiers use for being allowed to smoke cigarettes when standing at rest in formation.

===Trivia===
*There appears to be 204 cans of Bull Honkey.
**If there really were "eighty-something" cases of Bull Honkey, then there would be from 2.29 to 2.55 cans per "case".
*This email has four [[portmanteaus]]; the most featured in any toon on the site.
*This is also the first time we see Bubs clench his "fists."

===Remarks===
*Homestar is able to open the Gremlin's door, even though he has [[Lack of Visible Arms|no visible arms]] and the car door has no visible handles.
*Strong Bad claimed in the email [[car]] that he did not own a car. The Gremlin is presumably the car he won from Bubs in the email [[pop-up]]. Interestingly, The Cheat won the key to the Gremlin, however it isn't present in this e-mail.
*With the exception of one knee, Strong Bad is able to fit his entire body under the seat of the Gremlin, even though it would appear that his head is far too big to fit.
*When The Cheat slams the CD into the 8-track player, it is not shaded.

===Goofs===
[[Image:Meltshake roadtrip goof.png|thumb|And now for my next trick!]]
*The passenger seat's shadow doesn't move while Strong Bad is rummaging under the cushion.
*The Melt Shake doesn't appear in the first few frames of animation as Strong Bad is bringing it out from under the cushion, although his hand is visible. This makes it seem as though it appears out of thin air.

===Inside References===
*"Bull honkey" was previously mentioned in [[record book]], in which Strong Bad set the record for "Longest Bull Honkey".
*Homestar Runner looking for people in the night with a flashlight and acting like a cop is a reference to [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], where Homestar appeared to be part of the "police force" of Free Country, USA.
*The Jammin' Tunes song is by the same band that makes the song that The Dancing Brothers dance to in [[A Folky Tale]], as revealed in a DVD commentary.

===Real-World References===
*The Bull Honkey caffeinergy sauce is a parody of the [[Wikipedia:Red Bull|Red Bull]] energy drink.
*[http://www.jacobyandmeyers.com/ Jacoby and Meyers] is the name of a California tort law firm famous for its television advertising.

The Strong Badian Administration of Some Aluminum Foil

Forteblast — Mon, 14 Nov 2005 16:56:15 GMT

Forteblast: Grammar/accuracy fix

[[Image:sbasaf.png|thumb|right|Kick-awesome logo]]
The '''Strong Badian Administration of Some Aluminum Foil''' (also known as '''SBASAF''' ''pronounced "space-aff"'') is [[Strongbadia]]'s [[space program]]. It is a for-profit venture dedicated to the manned taping of aluminum foil to cardboard.

SBASAF has a 30-vessel fleet and its flagship is known as the '''Proud Anselmo'''. The mission of SBASAF is to accompany 15 earth dollars($) on a round trip journey to the closest reachest of space. Due to the nature of relativity, the crew will only age a few hours but the money will age to roughly $1 million.

First Lieuteneral Space Captainface is the leader of the two person crew, played by [[Strong Bad]]. The fleet's only mechanic appears to be Harold "Strap" Coopmore, played by [[The Cheat]]. The on ground flight engineer is Ted Averill, who smokes. He is played by the [[Tire]].

[[Strong Mad]] isn't part of the crew but aids in the adventures by supplying the shaking effects of launch.

They have a kick-awesome logo and spent most of their budget on an orientation filmstrip.

'''Running Time:''' 2:55

'''Page Title:''' A Lem Sportsinterviews Joint

==Transcript==
'''NARRATOR:''' It began ''{the words "It Began..." appear on the screen in Gothic text}'' as the best selling video computer TV game of all time. Uh—Not really ''{the words "Not Really," appear on the screen}'', but still. ''{The words "But Still." appear.}''

'''KING OF PEASANTRY:''' We have coexisted with the Burninator in these lands for centuries. ''{Quick clips of a map of Peasantry and peasants being terrorized by a CGI Trogdor pass by.}'' I can't have you marching up there in your short pants upsetting the balance!

'''RATHER DASHING:''' I'll upset ''your'' balance, my lord!

'''KING OF PEASANTRY:''' Rather Dashing, you will not sass back at this council!

'''NARRATOR:''' From the sort of people who brought you Trogdor and Litigation Jackson...

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*This was labelled as "Super Bowl halftime!!" on the main page, because The Brothers Chaps put this trailer up at halftime of the [[Wikipedia:Super Bowl XXXIX|2005 Super Bowl]].
*When Rather Dashing puts on the mask and when he throws the baby, he speaks the actual commands from the game, e.g. "throw baby".

===Trivia===
[[Image:pq_trailer_end_credits.png|thumb|right|Ending Credits]]
*These are the single largest Flash files on the entire site, with the 2.6 MB "Jhonka" trailer being almost equal in size to [[Stinkoman 20X6|stinkogame.swf]]. The other versions are still the largest though.
*When this trailer was first put up at halftime, the size and popularity of the file apparently overloaded TBC's server. Because of this, the original 13.4 MB file was removed mid-Monday morning and was temporarily replaced with a close-up of Rather Dashing and a note saying that he would be back. By late morning, that was replaced with a screen enabling you to choose which file size you wanted to download: "Jhonka" (2.6 MB), "Kerrek" (5.4 MB), or "Trogdor" (10.3 MB).
*The loading screen used to read "loading a fairly big deal", but it now says "rather loading", referring to Rather Dashing.
*Many of the people listed in the credits are mentioned elsewhere on the site: [[Ryan Sterritt]] helped create the [[strongbad_email.exe|Strong Bad Email DVD]]. [[Jackie Chapman]] is [[Matt Chapman]]'s wife, [[Craig Zobel]] helps write some of the cartoons and [[Jonathan Howe]] helps with many of the games.
*The word [[Wikipedia:Pterodactylus|"pterodactyl"]] is incorrectly spelled "pterydactyl" in the end credits.
*These credits are clickable for some reason (at least in the 13.4 MB and "Trogdor" versions); however, doing so doesn't seem to activate any Easter eggs.
*Our hero might just be more dashing than previously thought. At the end when he declares "not tonight he doesn't!", a viewer can barely but surely see a wedding ring on in the first couple of frames as he swings the sword.
*When Rather Dashing is climbing up the mountain, and you see him from the front, the background is that of the [[Wikipedia:Stone Mountain|Stone Mountain]] trail to the top. It is a large granite mountain near [[Wikipedia:Atlanta, Georgia|Atlanta]], near where [[The Brothers Chaps]] live.
*We see that Craig Zobel is credited as the "cartographer", meaning he drew the map of Peasantry.
*This is the first appearance of Jackie Chapman in a Homestar Runner feature.
*The [[Scalding Lake]] shirt that Rather Dashing (played by Matt Chapman) is wearing is presumably the same one worn by Matt in the [[Screen Savers Interview - 24 Jan 2005|Screen Savers Interview]] several weeks prior to the trailer's release.

===Remarks===
*According to the [[FAQ]] on the official site, this is the "full-length" Peasant's Quest movie.
*In the movie trailer, The Blue Knight states that Rather Dashing doesn't ''smell'' like a peasant. In the game, however, he says that Rather doesn't ''stink'' like a peasant.

===Inside References===
*The movie is directed by [[Leomard Sportsinterviews]], well known for his book ''[[HR:amazon.html|This Book is Better Than 1st, 2nd and Quite Possibly Even 3rd Base]]'', among other things.
*''[[Litigation Jackson]]'' was the fictional movie mentioned in [[A Decemberween Pageant]]. Its sequel was mentioned in [[rampage]].

*Many of the clips in this preview are taken directly from the Peasant's Quest game, including:
**Scaring Poor Gary, the horse
**Throwing The Baby in the water
**Talking to the Baby Lady
**The Kerrek pounding Rather Dashing into the ground.
**Taking Kerrek's belt in the rain
**Mendelev and Dongolev teaching you how to shoot an arrow
**Fighting The Jhonka (though you don't actually fight him in the game)
**Rather Dashing was eating the meatball sub even though he didn't eat it in the game.
**Naked Ned appearing from behind the tree
**Rather Dashing's "Scalding Lake" vacation shirt
**Rather Dashing with the pot stuck over his head
**The guard's explanation of why Rather Dashing cannot see Trogdor
**Climbing the mountain to Trogdor's lair
**Getting pebbles
*When The Three Keepers of Trogdor are waving in the cave (after CG-Trogdor), the pterodactyl flying in the background makes the same noise as [[Mrs. Commanderson]].
*The Peasantry Map includes places such as:
**The Frumpish Mountains
**The Slightly Dangerous Fields
**That Weird Tree (you know)
**Trogdor's Keep
**Clackum Falls
*The music and ending lines ("And the Trogdor comes in the night!") are taken from Strong Bad's Trogdor song in the email [[dragon]].
*"Thorax Legitimate" is referring to the [[Thorax Corporation]].
*"Video computer TV game" is a possible reference to the easter egg in [[Peasant's Quest Preview]], where the first [[Videlectrix]] programmer says, "I'm supposed to release a video computer game on TV without this graphic!"

===Real-World References===
*The heading "A Lem Sportsinterviews Joint" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Spike Lee|Spike Lee]]'s movies which are called "A Spike Lee Joint."
*The depiction of the battle between Rather Dashing and the Kerrek is very similar, in style, to the battle between Dennis Cooper and the Jabberwock in Terry Gilliam’s 1977 film ''[[Wikipedia:Jabberwocky (film)|Jabberwocky]]''.
*The battle between Rather Dashing and Jhonka is reminiscent of [[Wikipedia:Gollum|Smeagol]] and [[Wikipedia:Déagol|Déagol's]] battle at the beginning of ''[[Wikipedia:The Return of the King (book)|The Return of the King]]'' likewise the flute music that plays at the beginning of the trailer sounds like the music from the [[Wikipedia:Hobbiton|Hobbiton]] scenes in ''[[Wikipedia:The Fellowship of the Ring(book)|The Fellowship of the Ring]]''.
*Although this trailer is full of obscure nods to various fantasy cliches, the scenes with the shadow rolling back across the land and the map of Peasantry suggest the [[Wikipedia:The Lord of the Rings|''Lord of the Rings'']] trailers. Similar sound effects are used.
*Before the Videlectrix Films logo and around the ending of the film, there is the scene melee. One of the shots is of a man fighting in silhouette form behind a blue sky with a sword in his hand and around the end he is struggling with a sword. The same scene is in [[Wikipedia:Kill Bill|Kill Bill Volume 1]].
*When Rather Dashing puts the hood of his peasant garb on, it is reminiscent of [[Wikipedia:The Village (movie)|''The Village.'']]
*The screaming of Jhonka in the first sighting is similar to the screaming of zombies in ''[[Wikipedia:Half-Life 2|Half-Life 2]]''.
*The ending snort after Trogdor blows fire at the screen is from [[Wikipedia:Doom|"Doom"]].
*The way in which Rather Dashing holds his sword when he says "Not tonight he doesn't... come... in the night... Trogdor!" is similar to the way a [[Wikipedia:Jedi|Jedi knight]] holds a [[Wikipedia:Lightsaber|lightsaber]] in the [[Wikipedia:Star Wars|Star Wars]] films and trailers.
*The Blue Knight's face guard slamming down over his face after he says his last line is reminiscent of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, in which Sir Bedevere's face guard slams down after he says many of his lines.

'''Strong Bad Email #127'''

Strong Bad shows us how to write a proper email, and addresses Homestar's lack of pants. Homestar goes nuts.

'''STRONG BAD:''' And if I email you, girl! Woman! ''{He holds up pieces of paper that say "Girl." and "Woman." as he says those words}'' Oh, won't you email me, girl? Woman? ''{He holds up the papers again. Then he brings up the email:}''

Dear Strongbad,
Why doesn't homestar ever wear pants? It's kind of
creepy how he walks around with no pants on all the time.
Anyway, I think you should get him some pants, maybe some
parachute pants would work...yeah, that would work. Or maybe
some clown pants, I don't care, just get him some pants!
Tootles!
Clancy

''{Strong Bad skips everything between "Anyway" and "I don't care" and, instead, says "Blabbity blah, blah blebbity bloo". He also pronounces "Tootles" as "Toot-less" and "Clancy" as "Clanky".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, ''{begins typing}'' Too long, Clanky, too looong! Good thing you didn't indent, man, or this never woulda made it past my 2nd paragraph filter: ''{types 'run "Edga Jr."'}'' Edga Jr.

''{The splash screen for "Edga Jr. The Long Email Killa Filta" comes up}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, look at him. He's one o' dem read-haireded rapscalli... wags. ''{returns to the email}'' Well, I think we can salvage this one with a little editing. Let me once again call upon the services of my trusty, somewhat dusty, electronic light-pen ink-put high-tech expensive device! Now in HD! ''{he pulls out a correction pen having the words "X-PENSIVE WHITE" and shakes it}'' Just have to shake up the... expensive electrons here. All set! So, let's see! ''{he mumbles and says}'' Such a high-tech device... ''{as he whites out the words, producing:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' There! Now let's see what we got! ''{re-reads the altered email}'' Dear Strongbad, Why wear pants? Creepy pants all the time get some. Maybe parachute, maybe clown care. Some ants toot! Clanky. ''{begins typing}'' Now ''there's'' an email worth answering! Some ants toot. Tee-hee! ''{clears screen, but the correction fluid remains}'' So, why wear pants? An age old question. Was it not Adam West who once said, "E-

'''Strong Bad Email #127'''

Strong Bad shows us how to write a proper email, and addresses Homestar's lack of pants. Homestar goes nuts.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[The Cheat]], [[Marzipan]] (Easter Egg)

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[Homestar's House]] (Easter Egg)

'''Date:''' March 28, 2005

'''Running Time:''' 3:04

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' And if I email you, girl! Woman! ''{He holds up pieces of paper that say "Girl." and "Woman." as he says those words}'' Oh, won't you email me, girl? Woman? ''{He holds up the papers again. Then he brings up the email:}''

Dear Strongbad,
Why doesn't homestar ever wear pants? It's kind of
creepy how he walks around with no pants on all the time.
Anyway, I think you should get him some pants, maybe some
parachute pants would work...yeah, that would work. Or maybe
some clown pants, I don't care, just get him some pants!
Tootles!
Clancy

''{Strong Bad skips everything between "Anyway" and "I don't care" and, instead, says "Blabbity blah, blah blebbity bloo". He also pronounces "Tootles" as "Toot-less" and "Clancy" as "Clanky".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, ''{begins typing}'' Too long, Clanky, too looong! Good thing you didn't indent, man, or this never woulda made it past my 2nd paragraph filter: ''{types 'run "Edga Jr."'}'' Edga Jr.

''{The splash screen for "Edga Jr. The Long Email Killa Filta" comes up}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, look at him. He's one o' dem read-haireded rapscalli... wags. ''{returns to the email}'' Well, I think we can salvage this one with a little editing. Let me once again call upon the services of my trusty, somewhat dusty, electronic light-pen ink-put high-tech expensive device! Now in HD! ''{he pulls out a correction pen having the words "X-PENSIVE WHITE" and shakes it}'' Just have to shake up the... expensive electrons here. All set! So, let's see! ''{he mumbles and says}'' Such a high-tech device... ''{as he whites out the words, producing:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' There! Now let's see what we got! ''{re-reads the altered email}'' Dear Strongbad, Why wear pants? Creepy pants all the time get some. Maybe parachute, maybe clown care. Some ants toot! Clanky. ''{begins typing}'' Now ''there's'' an email worth answering! Some ants toot. Tee-hee! ''{clears screen, but the correction fluid remains}'' So, why wear pants? An age old question. Was it not Adam West who once said, "E-

'''Strong Bad Email #123'''

Strong Bad discusses the hangingoutitude of [[The Stick]].

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Little Strong Bad]], [[Se�or]], [[Mr. Bland]], [[Bubs]], [[The Stick]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[The Cheat]], [[Strong Mad]], [[Marzipan]], [[Homsar]], [[Strong Sad]], [[The King of Town]]

'''Date:''' January 31, 2005

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in monotone}'' This email is leaving the station. Please move to the center of the email and away from the doors

<pre>subject: a sticky question...
Dear Strong bad,
I have recently been wondering about the origin of the
stick. Has it always been a good place for hanging out and
making rendezvous?

Luke, Eau Claire, WI</pre>

''{he pronounces 'rendezvous' as 'rendezvouuuu-ses', and the bottom line as 'Luke, ewww Claire, why?'}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh! Why do you Van Peebles always wanna know the origins and histories of every freakin' little thing? Like, do you wanna know how Strong Sad got his belly button too?

''{cut to a young Strong Bad's birthday; a sign reads 'Happy Birthday Lil Strong Bad'. Strong Bad has a black shirt with a yellow truck on it, and is looking at a white present with a blue ribbon and a tag reading 'To Strong Bad From Mom or Dad'. He grabs the lid and takes it off to reveal a power drill.}''

'''LIL STRONG BAD:''' ''{lifting the drill}'' Oh, awesome! ''{he revs the drill}''

''{cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{clears the screen}'' Or, like, the origin of Bubs' Concession Stand?

''{Original Book style. Se�or and Mr. Bland stand in flat greenness, and Strong Bad's words are subtitled.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Se�or Havin' A Little Trouble and Mr. Bland were by far the most popular characters.

''{a red Stand falls on them with a splurt!}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Then, they were crushed by a falling Bubs' Concession Stand.

''{Bubs appears in it, waving}''

'''BUBS:''' Hot time!

'''STRONG BAD:''' said Bubs

''{back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, I'm not gonna show you those things. Or the origin of the stick. But I will indulge your curiousity ''{misspelt, but pronounced correctly}'' about the stick's hangingoutitude. It currently rates a 10, but such was not always the case. Like when Homestar used to hold his weekly ''{sounding disturbed, and the words turn green and jiggle on screen}'' bread sing-alongs, ''{back to normal}'' we avoided that place like the plegg! ''{deletes up to the 'p'}'' plague!

''{cut to The Stick, where Homestar Runner is surrounded by bread. He is holding a slice and waving it around while marching on the spot}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' Bread is a good time for me, woo-oo-doo singing, bread is a good time for everybody!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover; Homestar keeps peeking out around the bread slice}'' We sure sniped that problem right between the eyes from three hundred yards by scheduling The Cheat's rhythmic chain dancing recitals for the same time and place.

''{Strong Bad and Strong Mad stand in the background while The Cheat, dressed in a blue suit, is swinging a chain around, hitting Homestar's face and the bread. Homestar has acquired a sign reading 'Come On & Sing.'}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing, despite being hit in the face}'' I cut the crusts off in the morning light...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{clapping; The Cheat picks up a slice of bread and twirls it while making The Cheat noises}'' He's quite good.

'''STRONG MAD:''' WHAT GRACE!

''{back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' After a couple of minutes, the popularity of Homestar's sing-alongs faded and Strong Mad ate The Cheat's chainwhip. So that's when the stick became a great place to spraypaint Marzipan.

''{Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat by The Stick spraying at Marizpan's dress, which has a picture of a steak and 'St8k DiNNeR' written on it graffiti-style}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' To me, this is something that losers would do.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, this is gonna be my freshest piece yet.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Strong Mad, that looks like cooking spray.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?! Aw, that's some never-forgive action right there.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover; the scene darkens slightly}'' But spraypainting people isn't very much fun when they stand there and make fun of you.

''{cut to Marzipan standing by The Stick with an upside-down Homsar stuck to her head, at night; a wolf howls}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So I super-glued her to Hhh-Homsar, and left them for dead.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Ooh, I think I hear wolves coming.

'''HOMSAR:''' I'm the human wedgie. ''{His hat falls and lands on Marzipan's dress}''

''{Homestar marches in, holding a loaf of bread}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' .. don't ask me why, pumpernickel and rye. ''{Note: Homestar's speech impediment makes "why" and "rye" sound exactly the same.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' In order to properly leave them for dead, and not keep hanging around them for dead, we relocated to behind Bubs' ''{cut to Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat behind Bubs' Concession Stand with the muffler and pipe, and a crown with 'On Point' spraypainted on the wall}'' and started calling ourselves the On Point Kings. We'd take no guff from nobody.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{to The Cheat}'' Hey man, I know what it means. I was just seeing if you knew.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{makes frustrated The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{walking in}'' Have you guys seen my moleskin journal?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{producing the power drill}'' You want another belly button there, Harry Elephant�?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{starts}'' Waaah! No sir! Heck no at all! ''{runs away}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{throws drill away}'' Man, did you guys see me refuse to take that guff? I flat out rejected it! That guff never even had a chance! ''{pulls out a nail file and starts filing his gloves}'' Ah, that's what being an On Point King is all about.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{walks in with a blue dunce cap on}'' I hear somebody mention a pointy king? ''{nods his hat}'' Doink doink?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Heck no at all!

''{back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So ya see Claire, if it weren't for the stick, and Marzipan's considerable resistance to death, the On Point Kings may never have stolen the King of Town's dunce cap and renamed it Lotionman. {''a little embarrassed, and stutters his 'd' (not typed)}'' D-Don't ask, it was Strong Mad's idea. Well, I hope that makes you not email me anymore.

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

== Easter Eggs ==

* Click on "Eau Claire, WI" to view Beverly Sportsinterview's book "Ewww..Claire!! Why???"
* Click on "dunce" at the end to see and hear an album of Homestar's Bread Sing-alongs.
** Keep clicking the CD cover to hear different songs. The three songs he sings are the same as the ones from the email.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*This is the first time Homsar's hat has not returned to him, regardless of his position (if we don't count [[Modestly Hot Homsar]]). Because he is upside down while glued to Marzipan's forehead, his hat settles on her dress. However, in his character video, he ends up upside down at the end (or, depending on your point of view, the entire video), but his hat still comes back to him.
*This is one of the only times in a toon that a reaction shot, such as Strong Sad's after being threatened with the drill, is featured. Normally [[The Brothers Chaps]] keep the perspective facing in one direction, children's book style, and do not show the faces of those facing away from the normal camera perspective.

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad has trouble with the pronunciation of the plural form of the word ''rendezvous'', which is spelled the same as the singular, not ''rendezvouses''. The plural can be pronounced either /'''ron'''-day-voo/ (which is also the same as the singular) or /'''ron'''-day-vooz/.
*"Eau Claire" means "Clear Water" in French; the correct pronunciation of "eau" is "oh".
*The word "St8k" is spraypainted on Marzipan. If it were pronounced the way it is spelled, it would be "Statke" instead of Steak.
*In the Bread Sing-a-Longs CD, the picture of Homestar blinks. This is due to his flash animation, which constantly has him blinking.

===Inside References===
*We last saw the smashed muffler in [[no loafing]].
*The drill noise was first heard in [[privileges]].
*The appearance of Homestar's Bread Singalongs CD is similar to Strong Bad's Rhythm 'N' Grammar as seen at the end of [[local news]].
* The "[[On Point Kings]]" may be a reference to email number 81, "[[date]]", where Marzipan says "Strong Bad is On Point" in Strong Bad's "H*R and Marzipan Dating Simulation XR".
* [[The Brothers Chaps]] often avoid the main subject of the email (such as in [[car]]). This email has Strong Bad making that even more obvious.
*This is the second time in the past two cartoons that a character has been pictured wearing a truck shirt. Little Strong Bad does so here, and [[Tompkins]] wore one in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]]. Also, Little Strong Bad's voice is very similar to [[Tompkins]]'

===Real-World References===
*Strong Bad's introduction to the email is a reference to the automated voice systems commonly used on subway trains, and is nearly identical to the one once used on the train between concourses at the Atlanta Airport (TBC live in Atlanta).
*The drill used to give Strong Sad his belly button is likely a DeWalt Drill, DeWalt being famous for their yellow colored heavy duty tools.
**The sound that the drill makes is closer to the sound of a compressed-air powered tool, rather than an electric drill.
*When Se�or and Mr. Bland are crushed in the scene depicting the origin of [[Bubs' Concession Stand]], the manner in which their legs stick out is as that of the Wicked Witch of the East in [[Wikipedia:The_Wizard_of_Oz_%281939_movie%29|The Wizard of Oz]] when she is crushed by Dorothy's house.
*Beverly Sportsinterviews, likely related to [[Lem Sportsinterviews]], is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Beverly Cleary|Beverly Cleary]], an author for children and young adults.
*[[Wikipedia:Moleskine|Moleskine]] is a brand of pocket notebooks and sketch pads popular among trend-following artists and writers. Strong Sad mistakenly pronounces it "mole skin", whereas the correct pronunciation is "mol-a-skeen'-a".
*"Harry Elephante" is a reference to famous calypso musician [[Wikipedia:Harry Belafonte|Harry Belafonte]]. It also brings to mind Chester Elegante, from [[dreamail]].
**Its also likely a refernce to an episode of the show ''Friends'' (''The One After The Super Bowl''), where Ross mentions that his monkey's favorite toy is named "Harry Elephante".
*"Van Peebles" is probably a reference to the Mario Van Peebles making [[Wikipedia:Baadasssss!|Baadasssss!]], a film about how his father [[Wikipedia:Melvin Van Peebles|Melvin Van Peebles]] made [[Wikipedia:Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song|Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song]].
*In the second bread sing-along song, Homestar sings, "I cut the crusts off in the morning light." This is a reference to the 80s metal band [[Wikipedia:Dokken|Dokken]], whose song "Alone Again" had the same tune and opens with "I'd like to see you in the morning light."
*Where "bread sing-alongs" is green and jittering, this could be a reference to the Nintendo 64 game Banjo-Kazooie, where when a character said something 'disgusting' those particular words would jiggle in that fashion.

'''Strong Bad Email #123'''

Strong Bad discusses the hangingoutitude of [[The Stick]].

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Little Strong Bad]], [[Se�or]], [[Mr. Bland]], [[Bubs]], [[The Stick]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[The Cheat]], [[Strong Mad]], [[Marzipan]], [[Homsar]], [[Strong Sad]], [[The King of Town]]

'''Date:''' January 31, 2005

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in monotone}'' This email is leaving the station. Please move to the center of the email and away from the doors.

<pre>subject: a sticky question...
Dear Strong bad,
I have recently been wondering about the origin of the
stick. Has it always been a good place for hanging out and
making rendezvous?

Luke, Eau Claire, WI</pre>

''{he pronounces 'rendezvous' as 'rendezvouuuu-ses', and the bottom line as 'Luke, ewww Claire, why?'}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh! Why do you Van Peebles always wanna know the origins and histories of every freakin' little thing? Like, do you wanna know how Strong Sad got his belly button too?

''{cut to a young Strong Bad's birthday; a sign reads 'Happy Birthday Lil Strong Bad'. Strong Bad has a black shirt with a yellow truck on it, and is looking at a white present with a blue ribbon and a tag reading 'To Strong Bad From Mom or Dad'. He grabs the lid and takes it off to reveal a power drill.}''

'''LIL STRONG BAD:''' ''{lifting the drill}'' Oh, awesome! ''{he revs the drill}''

''{cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{clears the screen}'' Or, like, the origin of Bubs' Concession Stand?

''{Original Book style. Se�or and Mr. Bland stand in flat greenness, and Strong Bad's words are subtitled.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Se�or Havin' A Little Trouble and Mr. Bland were by far the most popular characters.

''{a red Stand falls on them with a splurt!}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Then, they were crushed by a falling Bubs' Concession Stand.

''{Bubs appears in it, waving}''

'''BUBS:''' Hot time!

'''STRONG BAD:''' said Bubs.

''{back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, I'm not gonna show you those things. Or the origin of the stick. But I will indulge your curiousity ''{misspelt, but pronounced correctly}'' about the stick's hangingoutitude. It currently rates a 10, but such was not always the case. Like when Homestar used to hold his weekly ''{sounding disturbed, and the words turn green and jiggle on screen}'' bread sing-alongs, ''{back to normal}'' we avoided that place like the plegg! ''{deletes up to the 'p'}'' plague!

''{cut to The Stick, where Homestar Runner is surrounded by bread. He is holding a slice and waving it around while marching on the spot}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' Bread is a good time for me, woo-oo-doo singing, bread is a good time for everybody!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover; Homestar keeps peeking out around the bread slice}'' We sure sniped that problem right between the eyes from three hundred yards by scheduling The Cheat's rhythmic chain dancing recitals for the same time and place.

''{Strong Bad and Strong Mad stand in the background while The Cheat, dressed in a blue suit, swingings a chain around, hitting Homestar's face and the bread. Homestar has acquired a sign reading 'Come On & Sing.'}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing, despite being hit in the face}'' I cut the crusts off in the morning light...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{clapping; The Cheat picks up a slice of bread and twirls it while making The Cheat noises}'' He's quite good.

'''STRONG MAD:''' LUNCH BREAK!

''{back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' After a couple of minutes, the popularity of Homestar's sing-alongs faded and Strong Mad ate The Cheat's chainwhip. So that's when the stick became a great place to spraypaint Marzipan.

''{Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat by The Stick spraying at Marizpan's dress, which has a picture of a steak and 'St8k DiNNeR' written on it graffiti-style}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' To me, this is something that losers would do.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, this is gonna be my freshest piece yet.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Strong Mad, that looks like cooking spray.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?! Aw, that's some never-forgive action right there.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover; the scene darkens slightly}'' But spraypainting people isn't very much fun when they stand there and make fun of you.

''{cut to Marzipan standing by The Stick with an upside-down Homsar stuck to her head, at night; a wolf howls}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So I super-glued her to Hhh-Homsar, and left them for dead.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Ooh, I think I hear wolves coming.

'''HOMSAR:''' I'm the human wedgie.

''{Homestar marches in, holding a load of bread}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' .. don't ask me why, pumpernickel and rye. (Note: Homestar's speech impediment makes "why" and "rye" sound exactly the same.)

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' In order to properly leave them for dead, and not keep hanging around them for dead, we relocated to behind Bubs' ''{cut to Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat behind Bubs' Concession Stand with an exhaust and a pipe, and a crown with 'On Point' spraypainted on the wall}'' and started calling ourselves the On Point Kings. We'd take no guff from nobody.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{to The Cheat}'' Hey man, I know what it means. I was just seeing if you knew.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{makes frustrated The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{walking in}'' Have you guys seen my moleskin journal?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{producing the power drill}'' You want another belly button there, Harry Elephant�?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{starts}'' Waaah! No sir! Heck no at all! ''{runs away}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{throws drill away}'' Man, did you guys see me refuse to take that guff? I flat out rejected it! That guff never even had a chance! ''{pulls out a file and starts filing his gloves}'' Ah, that's what being an On Point King is all about.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{walks in with a blue dunce cap on}'' I hear somebody mention a pointy king? ''{nods his hat}'' Doink doink?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Heck no at all!

''{back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So ya see Claire, if it weren't for the stick, and Marzipan's considerable resistance to death, the On Point Kings may never have stolen the King of Town's dunce cap and renamed it Lotionman. {''a little embarrassed, and stutters his 'd' (not typed)}'' D-Don't ask, it was Strong Mad's idea. Well, I hope that makes you not email me anymore.

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

== Easter Eggs ==

* Click on "Eau Claire WI" to view Beverly Sportsinterview's book "Ewww..Claire!! Why???"
* Click on "dunce" at the end to see and hear an album of Homestar's Bread Sing-alongs.
** Keep clicking the CD cover to hear different songs. The three songs he sings are the same as the ones from the email.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*This is the first time Homsar's hat has not returned to him, regardless of his position (if we don't count Modestly Hot Homsar). Because he is upside down while glued to Marzipan's forehead, his hat settles on her dress. However, in his character video, he ends up upside down at the end (or, depending on your point of view, the entire video), but his hat still comes back to him.
*The tag on the gift Little Strong Bad opens says "To: Strong Bad, From: Mom or Dad."

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad makes fun of the email author for a mistake he didn't commit; the plural form of the word ''rendezvous'' is spelled the same as the singular, not ''rendezvouses''. The plural can be pronounced either /'''ron'''-day-voo/ (which is also the same as the singular) or /'''ron'''-day-vooz/.
*"Eau Claire" means "Clear Water" in French.

===Goofs===
*In the Bread Sing-along CD easter egg, the picture of Homestar blinks. If this were an actual CD cover, the photograph couldn't blink.
*The word "St8k" is spraypainted on Marzipan. If it were pronounced the way it is spelled, it would be "Statke"

===Inside References===
*We last saw the smashed muffler in [[no loafing]].
*The drill noise was first heard in [[privileges]].
*The appearance of Homestar's Bread Singalongs CD is similar to Strong Bad's Rhythm 'N' Grammar as seen at the end of [[local news]].
* The "[[On Point Kings]]" may be a reference to email number 81, "[[date]]", where Marzipan says "Strong Bad is On Point" in Strong Bad's "H*R and Marzipan Dating Simulation XR".
* [[The Brothers Chaps]] often avoid the main subject of the email (such as in [[car]]). This email has Strong Bad making that even more obvious.
*This is the second time in the past two cartoons that a character has been pictured wearing a truck shirt. Little Strong Bad does so here, and Tompkins wore one in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]].

===Real-World References===
*Strong Bad's introduction to the email is likely a reference to the automated voice systems commonly used on subway trains.
*The drill used to give Strong Sad his bellybutton is likely a DeWalt Drill, DeWalt being famous for their yellow coloured heavy duty tools.
*When Se�or and Mr. Bland are crushed in the scene depicting the origin of Bubs' Concession Stand, the manner in which their legs stick out is as that of the Wicked Witch of the East in [[Wikipedia:The_Wizard_of_Oz_%281939_movie%29|The Wizard of Oz]] when she is crushed by Dorothy's house.
*Beverly Sportsinterviews, likely related to [[Lem Sportsinterviews]], is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Beverly Cleary|Beverly Cleary]], an author for children and young adults.
*[[Wikipedia:Moleskine|Moleskine]] is a brand of pocket notebooks and sketch pads popular among trend-following artists and writers. Strong Sad mistakenly pronounces it "mole skin", whereas the correct pronunciation is "mol-a-skeen'-a".
*"Harry Elephante" is most likely a reference to famous calypso musician [[Wikipedia:Harry Belafonte|Harry Belafonte]].
** It could also be a reference to [[dreamail]] when Strong Bad was writing a reply to the 128 Hot Katies and he typed his name as "Chester Elegante"
*"Van Peebles" is a reference to famous blaxploitation filmmaker/singer [[Wikipedia:Melvin Van Peebles|Melvin Van Peebles]], most famous for directing the film [[Wikipedia:Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song|Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song]], or to his son Mario Van Peebles, actor/director known for movies like New Jack City and Rappin'.
*In the second bread sing-along song, Homestar sings, "I cut the crusts off in the morning light." This is a reference to the 80s metal band [[Wikipedia:Dokken|Dokken]], whose song "Alone Again" had the same tune and semi-similar lyrics in the opening line.
*Where bread sing-alongs is green and jittering, this could be a reference to the Nintendo 64 game Banjo-Kazooie, where when a character said something 'disgusting' those particular words would jiggle in that fashion.
*"Ewh Claire" is a common mispronunciation of Eau Claire (oh claire).

Page Title: '''The Bighouse!'''

== Transcript ==
''{We begin at nighttime, seeing the silhouette of Bubs' Concession Stand and the woods behind it. Strong Bad and The Cheat, clad in black, sneak up to the back of the stand. As they glance around to make sure nobody's watching, The Cheat squeaks.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': You said it, The Cheat! Once we get our hands on Bubs' fundraiser candy bars, our troubles will be ''over''. We can retire, maybe get a little place in Strong Badia... I dunno... ''{The Cheat squeaks}'' Alright, remember the drill. Go straight for the crispy crackly ones! Don't waste your time on them plain ol' chocolates. Those things are fool's gold! Okay, hand me the explosives. ''{The Cheat hands Strong Bad a bunch of Fthoom-Bang brand bottle rockets duct-taped together, then lights them. Strong Bad sets them against the back door of Bubs' stand, and they both take cover. The rockets launch and fireworks explode in the sky.}'' The Cheat, I told you to remove the fthoom! All we needed was the bang!

''{Homestar Runner arrives, making siren noises.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Weh ooh weh ooh weh ooh weh...

'''STRONG BAD''': Oh no, we've been found ou--

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': DoooooooOOOOOOOOOOWIP! DoooooooOOOOOOOOOOWIP!

'''STRONG BAD''': Oh no, we've--

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Meh! Meh! Meh! Meh!

'''STRONG BAD''': Oh--

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': DooooooooDEEEEEEEEEEdooooooooDEEEEEEEEEE!

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{exasperated}'' Oh no we've been found out.

''{Coach Z walks up behind them}''

'''COACH Z''': I mighta guessed you was behind all this!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Coach Z, get these low-lifes out of my sight!

''{Coach Z starts dragging them off}''

'''STRONG BAD''': You set me up! You set me up! The Cheat, te-tell him that he set you up. ''{The Cheat starts yelling with him}'' YOU SET ME UP!!!

''{Cut to title sequence. We're given mugshots of Strong Bad along with the titles. '''"THE BROTHERS CHAPS PRESENT"''' '''"THE FIRST CARTOON IN A WHILE"''' '''"WE LIKE TO CALL IT"''' '''"STRONG BAD IS IN JAIL CARTOON"''' '''"MISSY AND MATT ON VOCALS"''' '''"MIKE ON DRUMS"''' Cut to Strong Sad sitting at a table writing a letter.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Dear Prisoner Number 5408, aka Strong Bad, aka Professor Tor Coolguy, I can only hope your incarceration turns your life around as much as it has mine. I feel... cooler, and... less like I suck so bad. I've made some changes around the house. Your computer room is now my Tai Chi space. ''{Cut to the computer room, where Strong Sad has set up calligraphy scrolls, Taijitu (Yin Yang symbols), and a candle, while he performs tai chi.}'' Hai-toh... Beng... Gait! ''{back to him writing}'' Well, I gotta go. Marzipan and I have a {enunciates heavily} ''baklava'' in the oven. Hoping you don't get shivved, Strong Sad.

''{Cut to jail, which is just a cardboard box with slits cut in it sitting in the field. Strong Mad is visiting, and Strong Bad has a hairnet on. Judging by the tally marks on the inside of the cell, they've been there a week.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': You gotta get us outta the joint, man! I don't think The Cheat is gonna make it!

''{Cut to The Cheat, who's frothing at the mouth and has hair sticking all over the place, going crazy. He's standing by three metal cans marked Food, Water, and Eww.}''

'''STRONG MAD''': WRAH!

''{Strong Mad lifts up the box}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Sweet lady freedom! Let's make out!

''{The Cheat wipes off the froth, fixes his hair, and squeaks what sounds like...}''

'''THE CHEAT''': Let's make out!

'''STRONG BAD''': Hey shut up! What are you, horning in on my girl? Only I get to make out with--''{The Cheat corrects him with a squeak}'' Oh. Right. The escaping.

''{They run off. Strong Mad puts the box down and stands there for a while, blinking, before holding up a yellow jackhammer labelled "JACK HAMMA!" smashed into a yellow cake with pink icing and put on a plate.}''

'''STRONG MAD''': I BROUGHT YOU A CAKE!

''{Cut to the field. Marzipan is reading a newspaper, and Homestar walks up to her.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Hey, lady!

'''MARZIPAN''': Homestar, did you know that crime is on the rise?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Yeah, I know [1]. Is it?

'''MARZIPAN''': Yes, things are very serious now. So what are you going to do to protect me?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Um, I could put a dash between Homestar and Runner from now on.

'''MARZIPAN''': Really? You'd do that for me?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': {laughs} No, of course not!

''{Marzipan frowns and glares. Strong Bad and The Cheat run past in the distance, carrying off the King of Town's crown. It seems Strong Bad chugged down a few bottles of soy sauce, judging from his ramblings.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Oh man, The Cheat, we struck it rich this time! Now we can retire to da MOOOOOOOOOOOON!

''{Cut to inside police headquarters. Coach Z and Bubs are doing a police sketch of the thief of the King of Town's crown.}''

'''BUBS''': So, describe to me what the perpetrator looked like.

'''THE KING OF TOWN''': Had a head like a big ol' round ol'...

'''BUBS''': Okay...

'''THE KING OF TOWN''': Red ol'...

'''BUBS''': Uh-huh...

'''THE KING OF TOWN''': Nasty ol' egg!

'''BUBS''': I see...

'''THE KING OF TOWN''': And hands looked like biscuit dough!

'''BUBS''': Uh-huh! Is this the man! ''{Holds up a sketch of a guy in a sweater with the number 7 on it with biscuit-dough hands and a craggy face, looking nothing like Strong Bad. He has a speech bubble saying "I did it!!"}''

'''COACH Z''': It was Biscuit-Dough Hands Man! I knew it!

''{Cut to Strong Badia. Strong Bad and the Cheat are hiding out behind the fence, where they've stashed all their loot. Among their loot is a cookie jar that looks like Trivia Time, the framed picture titled "Thank You" from Marzipan's house, Strong Sad's iPod, and some bags labeled "some savings". The Cheat is wearing the King of Town's hat.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Come on, The Cheat! Quit being such an old The Cheat! We gotta come out of retirement for this one last job! ''{The Cheat replies}'' Nononono, NOnononono! It's like this: the ransom money becomes the new retirement money. And the retirement money becomes the new college fund. And the college fund... eh, we blow on a really tricked-out van. ''{The Cheat ponders, then agrees. Strong Bad turns aside and starts talking to himself}'' Yes! Another victim claimed by Strong Bad's Powers of Persuasion! No living The Cheat can resist the P.O.P.! ''{The Cheat squeaks, annoyed}'' Hang on, I'm not done yet! ''{turns aside again}'' And uh... um... okay I was done. Let's go.

''{Cut to the inside of the King of Town's castle, nighttime. The King of Town arrives home.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN''': Poopsmith, I'm home! Man, I feel like some serious biscuit-dough. Poopsmith? ''{goes outside}'' Poopsmith! ''{Goes to the pile of whatsit. The shovel is there, the pile is there, the Poopsmith is not.}'' Poopsmith? ''{We zoom in on the shovel and hear The Brothers Chaps going "Dun-dun-DUN!"}'' THEY'VE STOLEN MY POOPSMITH!

''{Cut to the field. Homestar Runner and Pom Pom are out there, and Homestar has a flashlight.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Alright, Pom Pom, the Poopsmith is missing, and we gots to find him! We're your first and last line of defense! Only YOU can prevent scouting! Boy, do we need forest fires! ''{turns around for a second, and then turns back to Pom Pom}'' A-ha! Pom Pom! ''{clicks the flashlight on and shines it in his face}'' What are you doing out past curfew? ''{Pom Pom bubbles, confused}'' Don't play games with me, Roundy-Man! Just who are you working with? ''{Pom Pom bubbles}'' Homestar Runner, eh? Sounds like a no-goodnik to me! ''{Starts clicking the light on and off in Pom Pom's face, who's now very annoyed. He bubbles. Homestar sniffs him.}'' Pom Pom... did you step in something?

''{Cut to Strongbadia, daytime, behind the fence. Frank Bennedetto and the Poopsmith are the latest additions to Strong Bad's stash, the Poopsmith being tied-up and duct-taped across the mouth.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Alright, doodie-man. It's time to deliver my ultimate ultimatum! The Cheat! Ready with the viderocamera! ''{The Cheat squeaks and holds up a camera with "property of kevin" written on it. He begins filming.}'' Wait, hang on! Almost forgot to disguise my identity! ''{puts on a red ski mask with a cutout for his nose}'' Now we're ready. Attention, whatever weirdos are concerned about the Poopsmith!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{off screen}'' Oh, hey Strong Bad. ''{camera pans to see Homestar standing right there, Pom Pom close behind}''

'''STRONG BAD''': What the-? Aww, holy crap! I ''thought'' I smelled bacon! How'd you find us!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': We followed this mysterious trail the Poopsmith left!

'''STRONG BAD''': Ew!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': That, and we got an anonymous tip from Strong Sad.

''{Strong Sad peeks out from behind the fence}''

'''STRONG SAD''': I told them you were behind the fence.

'''STRONG BAD''': You sold me out! You sold me out! The Cheat, tell him that he... oh, never mind.

''{Coach Z and Bubs walk up}''

'''BUBS''': Oh man! It's just Strong Bad!

'''COACH Z''': Once again, Biscuit-Dough Hands Man slips through our fingers!

''{they grab Strong Bad and The Cheat and drag them off, The Cheat squeaking in protest}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Well, kids and people, it just goes to show, Strong Sad doing tai chi is really, really funny.

''{Strong Sad peeks out from behind the fence again}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Hey!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': What? It was! ''{Homestar starts imitating Strong Sad's tai chi}'' You were all like Pah-ku-lah! Honh! Pwing!

''{Marzipan walks in with a plate full of baklava}''

'''MARZIPAN''': Who wants some ''bak-a-lava''? ''{the cartoon fades out}'' ''Baka-ma-lava'' anybody?

''{The cartoon sits at the "THE END" screen for a while, then fades in to Marzipan's Answering Machine.}''

'''MARZIPAN''': ''{on the answering machine}'' Hi, this is Marzipan.

''{beep}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{on the answering machine}'' Hello, Marzipan! This is Professor Tor Coolguy! I was just calling to see if you'd be interested in PREPARING FOR YOUR DOOM! Er... not really calling to see, uh... I shouldn't have really given you a choice, I mean, uh... you should just go ahead and prepare for your doom. Cause it's on its way, man. It's gonna be some doom. ''{beep}''

''{Cut to jail, where Strong Bad has been using the "Eww." can as a phone. Strong Mad is still outside the jail.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Ho-ho! Great idea, The Cheat! Even on the inside, Professor Tor Coolguy cannot be stopped!

''{The Brothers Chaps go "Dun-dun-DUN!" and the cartoon fades out again to the "THE END" page. But after a while, we cut to Strongbadia at nighttime, behind the fence. The loot isn't there anymore, but The Poopsmith is, tied-up, and duct-taped over his mouth. After a while, Homestar Runner walks up to him, clicking the flashlight on and off in his face.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Alright, buster, move it along here! Nothing to see, nothing to see! ''{continues to click the flashlight on and off in his face for a while, then pauses, then pulls out the sketch of Biscuit-Dough Hands Man}'' Is this you?

== Footnotes ==
'''[1]''' ''There is some debate concerning whether this phrase is "Yeah, no," or "Yeah, I know." A poll was actually created regarding it, concluding that "Yeah, I know. Is it?" was the correct quote.''

== Easter Eggs ==
*If you wait around after the toon, you will get a a special [[Marzipan's Answering Machine]] message, and you will see The Poopsmith still tied up behind the fence and Homestar Runner comes back to interrogate him.

== Fun Facts ==
*Stolen goods that Strong Bad and The Cheat have stashed behind the fence:
**The King of Town's Crown
**The Poopsmith
**[[Trivia Time]] Cookie Jar
**[[Senor Cardgage]]'s Aldi Bag
**[[Strong Sad's iPod]]
**Pom Pom's [[Pom Pilot]]
**[[Frank Bennedetto]] of the Homestarmy (the popcorn popper)
**The Thank You sign from Marzipan's living room
**Bags of "some savings"

*The series of sirens and buzzes that Homestar Runner makes when he discovers Strong Bad and The Cheat (each time interrupting Strong Bad as he tries to say "Oh no, we've been found out") is a takeoff on a popular (yet annoying) car alarm.
**Actually in Britain all Police cars, Ambulances and Fire Engines now have those sounds in rotation - studies showed that people almost zoned out and ignored normal sirens so the change in pitch, tempo and rythm make them harder to ignore.

*The newspaper Marzipan is reading says:
:'''The Latest News'''
:''It's all true. All the rumors are true. The crime is on the rise in our very own town. Trust me on this one. I know what I'm talking about. No, wait. I don't. I make stuff up sometimes. That's cool, though, right? Good. I'll keep doing it then. It's a lot easy than fact checking. That stuff can be annoying.''
:This is then repeated eight times to fill up the paper.

*After The Poopsmith is captured, Strong Sad's iPod like device is present behind Strong Bad near the fence. The screen of this device says:
**playlists
**songs
**settings

*The title of the page is "The Bighouse!" At one time however, when the toon first appeared, the title was "Compy 386!!" just like a [[Strong Bad Email]]. This was fixed/changed to "The Bighouse!" within the first day.

*The phrase "We can retire to [[The Moon|the MOOOooooooooooooon!]]" is a reference to [[personal favorites]]".It could also be a reference to the 50's television show. [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0042114/ The Honeymooners] in which the character Ralph Kramden (played by Jackie Gleason) threatened constantly to punch his wife (played by Audrey Meadows) to the moon.e.g. "One of these day's Alice, Bang... Zoom To the moon"

*The Fireworks are called "Fthoom-Bang Brand bottle rockets".

*If you zoom in on the [[Floppy Disk Container]] in Strong Bad's computer room/Strong Sad's Tai-Chi room, it is called "Shogun". Rather fitting, considering all the oriental stuff in the room.

*The "videro" camera says "Property of [[Kevin]]."

*The lighter The Cheat uses is the [[BMW Lighter]].

*"Shivved" is prison slang for being stabbed, i.e "He got shivved after they found out he was a snitch". A "shiv" is an improvised sharp knife-like weapon made in prison.

*Prof. Tor Coolguy is a sort of play on Sol Badguy, a character from Guilty Gear.

*The ruler Strong Bad stands next to in his prison photo indicates he's less than 4 feet tall.

*Baklava is an absolutely delish greek dessert. There is a recipe for it [http://www.eatgreektonight.com/recipes/desserts/baklava.html here].

*If you zoom in on the [[Pom Pilot]] when there's stuff on it, it's mirrored.

*The letter writing scene seems to be reminiscent of the scene in the movie 'Hannibal', where Hannibal Lecter writes to Clarice Starling.

*The Poopsmith's mouth is duct-taped shut, in spite of his vow of silence.

*It seems like Strong Bad and The Cheat could have played innocent upon being discovered. They had neither broken into the concession stand nor actually stolen anything yet. Maybe it's a crime to set off fireworks late at night.
**It should be noted that in Georgia, the state that TBC live in, owning, selling, and especially setting off fireworks is illegal.

*The line "I thought I smelled bacon" refers to the derogatory term "pigs" for police. Phrases like this were often used on police/detective shows in the 70's by bad guys and shady informants when the police show up unexpectedly.

*The Cheat's "Henchman" shirt at the start of this cartoon seems to be an homage to the shirts worn by the henchmen on the old 60's "Batman" show. The villains always seemed to enjoy getting their lackeys shirts with their cheesy codename on them. The shirts were almost always black with plain white lettering.

*Homestar's 1st Tai-Chi pose is the same pose old-timey Homestar does in one of the movies for [[Kick the Can]].

Forteblast: "Some reason"? We know the reason...

[[Image:xmas2004.png|thumb|I ran out of the house, naked somehow. ]]

Homestar does some VERY last-minute [[Decemberween]] shopping.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Homestar Runner]], [[Strong Mad]], [[Strong Bad]], [[The Cheat]], [[Homsar]], [[Bubs]], [[Coach Z]], [[Strong Sad]], [[Marzipan]], [[Pom Pom]] (Easter Egg), [[The King of Town]] (Easter Egg), [[The Poopsmith]] (Easter Egg)

'''Page Title:''' White and Drifted Snow, Yo!

== Transcript ==
''{Wintery music plays as the camera zooms in on Homestar's clock; it flips from 9:59 to 10:00. Cut to Homestar Runner in bed yawning. Homestar sits up and looks out the window, and the music stops with a record needle sound.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh cwap! I set the alarm for 10 PM instead of AM again!

''{While Homestar says this, cut to outside Homestar's window looking in, then back inside again.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I was supposed to go Decemberween shopping today!

''{Another record needle sound as the camera focuses on a page-a-day calendar, which reads 'Dec. 25 - "The D'Ween, Yo."'}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh cwap! It's Decemberween already!

''{Homestar jumps out of bed and runs off, hitting the wall.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh cwap! I ran into the door!

''{Homestar gets up and runs off again. The camera shakes to banging noises offscreen.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{dryly}'' Oh cwap, I fell down the stairs.

''{Cut to outside Homestar's house. A pixelated Homestar leaps outside and looks around.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sighing}'' And now, I ran out of the house, naked somehow.

''{Homestar looks up at the snow.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh, but it ''is'' snowing.

''{Cut back to the calendar, over which the cartoon title appears, then to a mountain view with the the title "Blah blah blah - The Brothers Chaps", then to the side of a Decemberween-decorated side of Bubs' Concession Stand and the title "Vocal Styles by Missy & Matt", then finally to the Strongs' living room with the title "Here we go."}''

''{In the Strongs' living room, a toy set and present wrappings are on the floor. Strong Mad is tossing a rock with a winking face drawn on it and a ribbon up and catching it.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' I LOVE YOU, TONY STONY! ''{holding the rock in front of his face}'' NO, I LOVE YOU MORE!

''{The camera pans over to reveal Strong Bad playing with an extending claw toy in front of a box labelled "Grabbo Arm".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' This thing is awesome. The Grabbo Arm demands respect. ''{to Strong Mad}'' I'd like to see somebody front on this. ''{calling}'' Hey, The Cheat!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{off-camera}'' Meh?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Grab ahold of that egg nog.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{off-camera}{"Okay" noise}''

''{The Cheat yelps as Strong Bad extends the Grabbo Arm to grab him, wearing a red nose and antlers and holding a glass of egg nog.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks, man.

''{Cut outside, to Homsar waving a paintbrush, standing next to a Salvation Army-like red pail with a sign over it reading "Baked Beans". Homestar runs by, then skids to a stop in the snow and turns around.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Listen up, shortstop. I need some presents.

'''HOMSAR:''' Alms for the pudgy. Alms for the pudgy.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uhm, I don't know what any of that means, but I will make use of your complimentary spit bucket. Ah-tpoo!

''{Homestar spits into the bucket and runs off.}''

'''HOMSAR:''' You're a real state trooper.

''{Homestar runs across the countryside in silhouette, then to Bubs' Concession Stand.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{quickly}'' Bubs I need to buy everyone and their brother a Decemberween present! ''{panting}''

'''BUBS:''' Running a little late, aren't we Homestar?

''{Zoom in on Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I've got an hour and forty-five minutes. What do you got?

'''BUBS:''' ''{motioning to his left}'' Well, there's a bunch of my aught-four crap in that filthy box over there. Gotta make room for the aught-five crap!

''{Homestar walks over to the box, clearly labelled "aught four crap", and kneels down. The camera switches to inside the box looking out.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, what do we got here? ''{pulls out electrical tape}'' Electrical tape? Pom-Pom loves electrical tape. What else, what else? ''{pulls out a steak knife}'' Ooh, rusty steak knife. That's got Coach Z written all over it.

''{Cut to the locker room. Coach Z is sitting on the bench in front of a TV dinner on a TV tray.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Ooh, salisbury steak. Ring ring! ''{Picks up a phone with frayed wires, not attached to anything}'' Helloar? Ooh, Mom! Well, a very cheery Decemberween to you too! ''{shakes his head}'' Oh, Dad, it's you. Sorry about that. Yes, sir, I cooked a turkey, with the gravied yams and stuffinged ham. No, I'm not alone. Yes, this phone is plugged in.

''{The lights suddenly go out.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Aww, crackles. ''{Dejectedly}'' I forgot to pay my bills again this year...

''{Cut back to Bubs' concession stand. Homestar pulls out a banana with an arrow through it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey Bubs, check this out. For the Poopsmith who has everything.

'''BUBS:''' You give me anything in that box, you'll be gettin' a kick in the skull with a ribbon on it.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Right right. Ribbons. Bubs loves ribbons. Lessee, Strong Sad. Don't need to worry about Strong Sad.

''{Cut to an old fashioned bathtub with chains holding the boards covering the top in place.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{singing, from locked inside the tub}'' One night in Bangkok and the rough got rougher...

''{Cut to Marzipan's house, where she is sitting on the couch sporting Decemberween lights in her hair.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' If Homestar doesn't get here soon with my present, I'm gonna' cook his goose.

''{Homestar runs in and trips, falling flat on his face in front of Marzipan. He gets up in a daze and hands Marzipan a wrapped present.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{groggily}'' Happy Decemberween, Marzi-man.

''{Homestar falls back on the floor and Marzipan opens the present.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{sounding disappointed}'' Wire cutters...?

''{Strong Bad walks in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Foolish Homestar. Decemberween is not about getting people presents. It's about getting people ''good'' presents! ''Good presents!'' Not this last-minute discount crap you're trying to foist on us!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{interrupting}'' Oh, Homestar, it's perfect!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER AND STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' It is?

'''MARZIPAN:''' This is just what I need to free the baby seals from the crab traps down at the wharfs. ''{singing to herself}'' Free the baby seals...

''{Marzipan walks off, smiling.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, shut my mouth.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well well, Strong-o Bad-o. Looks like the ol' captain of the team still has what it takes.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{brandishing his Grabbo Arm}'' Oh yeah? Well, the Grabbo Arm has what it takes, ''{extends the arm}'' and what it takes is Marzipan's purse.

''{The Grabbo Arm comes back with Marzipan's purse.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No skin off my back.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, thanks! Have a nice last seven minutes of Decemberween, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{increduously}'' There's only seven minutes left of Decemberween?! Oh, cwap! I forgot to get everyone presents!

''{Homestar runs off again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh, it goes on and on like this.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{off-camera}'' Oh, cwap! There's only seven minutes left of Decemberween?!

''{Homestar Runner runs back behind Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Seriously. Like until New Year's.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{off-camera}'' Oh, cwap! there's only seven minutes left...

''{scene fades to black.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I didn't know we had any wharfs.

''{The camera returns to Homestar's clock, which displays the number of minutes remaining until Decemberween/Christmas ends. The back button appears.}''


== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on "Homestar's Clock" at the end to see what happened to the three main characters left out of this toon.
:''{The King of Town, the Poopsmith, and Pom-Pom sit around a table in what is probably the King of Town's castle, two cans labeled "gravied yams" and "stuffinged ham" on the table. On the wall behind them is a sign that reads, "Left Out Characters' Support Group & Buffet."}''
:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Pass the gravied yams, please. And don't bogart that stuffinged ham neither!

== Fun Facts ==
*The toy on the floor in the Strongs' living room is a [http://www.constructiontoys.com/store/capsela.php Capsela] set, a module-based construction set which can be used to make portable fans, real floating boats, all manner of wheel and caterpillar-driven vehicles, and even remote-controlled robots. It appears as though their set in particular was used to make a boat (the "balloon" capsules on the bottom are a dead giveaway).
*Strong Sad being locked in the bathtub is a reference to [[The Best Decemberween Ever]], when he says that's what his brothers do to him every [[Decemberween]].
*The song Strong Sad sings in the bathtub is a reference to "One Night in Bangkok," which is from the musical ''Chess''. It became a number one hit for Murray Head in 1984, and was composed and written by Benny Andersson and Bj�rn Ulvaeus of ABBA and Tim Rice. However, the lyric he sings was not part of the original song: the similar line is, "One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble."
*At the end, [[Homestar's Clock]] shows how many minutes are left of Decemberween. The clock runs on your computer's clock and counts down to midnight on December 26. If the time runs out, the clock reads "It's Over", then starts over from 525,600 minutes left. (525,600 minutes is 365 days.) You can also force it to say "It's Over" if you right-click on the toon and pick "Play" from the menu (only works if viewing the flash file directly).
*The outside of [[Homestar's House]] in this toon looks nothing like the outside of his house in the other toons. In this one, it has white paneling, unlike his usual red with white polka-dotted house.
**The view of the outside of the house (panelling and steps) is very similar to Charlie Brown's house, which may explain the departure from previous toons.
*When we see Homestar's clock in the beginning of the toon at 9:59, and then it turns to 10:00, that looks a little like the way they show Phil Connors's clock repeatedly turning from 5:59 to 6:00 in the movie Groundhog Day.
*Considering Homestar didn't know it was Decemberween, he must have not only slept through Decemberween, but slept through at least one more day.
*Homestar's comment to Strong Bad referring to himself as the "ol' captain of the team" is also referenced in TBC's interview with [http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,59261,00.html Wired]

==== Other Things of Interest ====
*This is the first time Homestar and Homsar have had a true '1 on 1' conversation. In [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]], it was really Strong Bad, and in [[army]] he just addressed his troops rather than Homsar himself.
*Homestar dressed in his pajamas with a cinnamon stubble is a reference to [[caper]].
*This is one of the very few times when we see the inside of Homestar's house, and the first time we see his bedroom. The others are [[radio]] and [[caper]].
*This episode marks Homsar's first appearance in a Decemberween 'toon.
*Homestar's T-shirt at the beginning is almost identical to the one Michael Jackson wears in the beginning of the "Beat It" video.
*Strong Bad's Grabbo Arm makes the same noises as Homestar's tricked-out propeller cap in [[car]].
*The dripping during Strong Sad's scene is the same sound used in [[Main Page 14]].
*The candy cane in Coach Z's locker room is from the [[Decemberween In July]] menu.
* Homsar's paintbrush rings like a bell.
*Strong Mad's rock is a reference to "Pet Rocks" which were popular in the mid-70's
*It's odd considering that [[Homestar]]'s tear-away calendar says it's the 25th, but he went to bed on the 24th and didn't wake up until the 25th, which means he couldn't change it. (Then again, he could have changed it before going to sleep and forgot.)
*Homestar's bunny slippers have the eyes and ears upside down relative to one another. This is also true in [[caper]].
*This toon was the first in a long time to feature Homestar as the main character instead of Strong Bad.
**Strong Bad is unusually nice to Homestar in this toon.
***This may be because Strong Bad is playing the "part" of Linus to Charlie Brown: dictating the story's moral to an otherwise clueless central character.
*Apparently [[Free Country, USA]] has a wharf, although Strong Bad didn't know this either, despite him appearing in a boat in both [[lures & jigs]] and [[montage]].
*The sound quality is higher than normal, resulting in crisper sound compared to other toons on the site.
*This is the first main Decemberween 'toon that does not end in a multi-character holiday greeting.
* Homsar quote of "You're a real state trooper" may be a commonly mistaken lyric from "Straight Shooter" by The Mamas and the Papas. The real lyric says "You're a real straight shooter"
** It could also be a parody on the phrase, "You're a real trooper", a phrase which usually means, "You're pretty tough!"

Cheat Commandos...O's

Forteblast — Tue, 21 Dec 2004 08:54:04 GMT

Forteblast: /* Fun Facts */

[[Image:cheatcereal01.png|thumb|right|220px|They aren't O's!]]

'''Time to Break...Fast!'''

Some Cheat Commandos look for the secret desert headquarters of Blue Laser. Some product placement ensues.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Fightgar]], [[Gunhaver]], [[Silent Rip]], [[Firebert]], [[Blue Laser Commander]], [[Blue Laser minion]], [[Crackotage]], [[Sergeant Marshie]]

Page Title: '''Breakfast is Fundamental'''

== Transcript ==

''{The cartoon starts with a military soundtrack and a desert landscape. A title comes up saying "TIME TO BREAK...FAST!" written by A. Chimendez. The commandos appear in the distance, climbing over a dune.}''

'''FIGHTGAR''': It's gotta be a hundred degrees out here and I'm running on empty!

'''GUNHAVER''': Come on, Fightgar! Just a little further! ''{he pulls a paper from his jacket}'' The secret entrance to Blue Laser’s secret desert headquarters has to be in this secret desert somewhere!

'''SILENT RIP''': You'd think so, but are we even sure they ''have'' a desert hideout?

'''GUNHAVER''': I think I remember hearing something about it on the...news...

''{cut to Blue Laser's secret headquarters. He's watching the Commandos on a video feed.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER''': The Cheat Commandos will never find our desert headquarters, since we relocated to my nana's backyard!

''{ominous music}''

'''BLUE LASER MINION''': The burgers are done, sir. ''{holds up a tray of burgers}''

'''BLUE LASER''': Fantastic!

''{cut back to the desert with the commandos}''

'''FIGHTGAR''': Are we there yet? I'm tired.

'''GUNHAVER''': Me too. We need some energy fast!

'''SILENT RIP''': Look! It's that guy! That flies that plane!

''{There is a fighter jet flying up above, and we zoom up to see Crackotage flying it)''

'''CRACKOTAGE''': Look out below, Geronimo! Hee hee ha ha!

''{The jet drops a box of cereal on a parachute, and it descends to the commandos below.}''

'''CHEAT COMMANDOS''': We're saved!

'''GUNHAVER''': Sugar-crunchy Cheat Commandos...O's Sugar Cereal! Part of this nutritious breakfast!

''{We transition to a commercial for Cheat Commandos...O's.}''

'''SPOKESMAN''': New Cheat Commandos...O's...O'sy O's...sugar cereal, is a delicious part of this complete delicious breakfast!

''{we see a box of Cheat Commandos...O's, next to a glass of caramel candies, a mug of marshmallows, and a cake on a plate. There's a caption saying "Delicious Nutritious Breakfast!!!" with the word Nutritious crossed out. A subtitle states "Gallon of Ice Cream not pictured".}''

'''SPOKESMAN''': And take some vitamins, too!

''{cut to Blue Laser’s headquarters. He's yelling at his minions.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER''': Which one of you ate the last bratwurst?!

''{The Cheat Commandos show up right behind him.}''

'''GUNHAVER''': Nice try, Blue Laser! This party is busted!

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER''': What the crap?!

'''FIGHTGAR, GUNHAVER & SILENT RIP''': Sugar-crunchy Cheat Commandos...O's Sugar Cereal!

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER''': Well that's...just...great!

'''SILENT RIP''': Cheat Commandos...O's...

'''FIGHTGAR, GUNHAVER & SILENT RIP''': Rock, rock on!

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER''': I hate you!

''{The grill explodes behind him, and a couple of Blue Laser minions paradrop behind the fence. We go to a commercial again.}''

'''SPOKESMAN''': And now, try Cheat Commandos...O's, with Fluffy Puff Marshmallows...O's.

''{Back to the cartoon, Marshie flies up to Gunhaver wearing a soldier's hat.}''

'''SERGEANT MARSHIE''': Ser-g-geant Marshie reporting for duty, sir!

'''GUNHAVER''': Will somebody get this flying cottonball outta my face?

''{Cut back to the scene with the cereal and the delicious (not nutritious) breakfast. The commandos walk on in the background, and the theme song sings "Cheat Commando's O's ridiculous breakfast...buy all our playsets and toys."}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on the mug of marshmallows at the end to see a ''new'' action figure.

== Fun Facts ==
*The episode "Time to break...fast!" is written by [[A. Chimendez]] who also created "The Strong Bad" in Strong Bad email "[[pizzaz]]."
*The "back" button at the end of this toon will always take one to [[Main Page 8]].
*The Brothers Chaps yet again forgot to change the title of the page, which still read "Compy 386!!" for a while. This was quickly changed to say "Breakfast is Fundamental."
*The Cheat Commandos...O's are made by [[Cheap as Free]] Foodstuffs.
*The "Cheat Commandos...O's" aren't "O's", as Fightgar has apparently noticed on the box itself. The cereal actually bears a striking resemblance to Cap'n Crunch.
*The Blue Laser's eyepatch moves from one eye to the other.
*It is finally discovered what our beheadphoned pal "Crackotage" does. This was left unclear with the cryptic "Master Locksmith, Perhaps?" on his action figure box. Now it is known that he's " ... that guy! That flies that plane!" Of course, he could still crack locks in his spare time.
*The Serg-g-geant Marshie character refers to any number of crossovers between figures in pop culture and G.I. Joe (or other 80's cartoonmercials) that culminated in the creation of action figures, notably Sergeant Slaughter of the WWE and William "Refrigerator" Perry of the Chicago Bears.
*Ser-g-geant Marshie's action figure box has the following labels:
**A Marshmallow, Not a Cottonball!!
**Creepier than Most!
**A Green Helmet!!
**His First Initial is 'M'!
*The grill shown briefly near the end of the cartoon is possibly a reference to [[The King of Town's Grill]], which is where The Cheat lives.

Senor Mortgage

Forteblast: Removed broken image link

[[Image:senormortgage.PNG|350px|thumb|"No probalo!"]]

''Are you having a problem buying a home, or something???''

[[Senor Cardgage]] has a mortgage commercial. Or something.

'''Cast (In order of Appearance):''' [[Balding Man]], [[Senor Cardgage]], [[Visor Robot]]

Page Title: '''Need A Loan??!!'''

== Transcript ==

''{We begin with a newspaper background with Balding Man in front of it.}''

'''VOICEOVER''': ERHT! ''{buzzing noise}''

''{NOT APPROVED flashes across the screen. Balding Man sighs and frowns.}''

'''VOICEOVER''': Are you having a problem buying a home ''{thought bubble appears with a blue house in it}'' or something ''{another thought bubble appears with a bitten Pop Tart}''? Fret no more!

''{cut to Senor Cardgage}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE''': Hi there Belindas. I'm Senor Cardgage for Senor Cardgage Mort-gage. ''{logo appears for Senor Cardgage Mortgage}'' We can help you get a leg up on the pile! Low rates, percent signs... I dunno... ''{as Senor Cardgage says this, the words "low rates" and a bunch of percent signs fall from the logo}''

'''VOICEOVER''': Bad credit? ''{the words "BAD CREDIT" appear on the screen, with a frowning face in the A, a thumbs-down in the D of CREDIT, and a blue background with the word "YES!" repeated. The thumbs-down grows larger and changes to a thumbs-up, and the background changes to yellow with the word "YUP!"}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE''': No probalo! ''{the words "NO PROBALO!" appear in the thumbs-up}''

''{Cut back to Senor Cardgage in the office.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE''': Home Lawn, Escrow, Re-Financin' ''{these words appear in boxes coming out of Senor Cardgage's mouth}'' -- you name it, we've got it! Come along down for a free canceltation ''{the words "FREE CANCELTATION" flash for a few seconds}'' with one of our handsome talking experts. ''{points to empty chair behind him}'' One o' them said they'd buy me lunch. But I don't see nobody taking me to Chick Fil-A.

''{Cut to Visor Robot with a caption that says "Not a Robot!"}''

'''VISOR ROBOT''' ''{in a robotic voice}'': Senor Cardgage Mort-gage helped consolidate my whole life into this tiny box. Thanks Senor Mort-gage!

''{back to Senor Cardgage}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE''': You're every welcome Valerie. Act now ''{the words "ACT NOW!" flash on the screen}'' and see if you can stand to talk to me for more than four seconds!

''{A countdown appears on screen, counting down from four seconds}''

'''JINGLE SINGERS''': Get a leg up on the pile and refinance your dreams! ''{the words appear on the screen}'' Come along down and dial ''{as they sing, the phone number 555-55-55855-55-5-SENOR-MORT-GAGE-TODAY appears on the screen, and the bald guy dances}'' five five five five five five five eight five five

'''ROBOT and JINGLE SINGERS''': Five five five SENOR-MORT-GAGE-TODAY!

'''SENOR CARDGAGE''': ''{phases through logo}'' No probalo!

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on the dollar sign in the 'g' at the end to see a short scene with the [[Visor Robot]].

== Fun Facts ==
*This short is making fun of TV mortgage ads, specifically ones that have witty phone numbers that are included in the jingle. (For example "770-915-1234-OPEN-THE-DOOR")

*The phone number 555-55-55855-55-5-SENOR-MORT-GAGE-TODAY would translate as 555-55-55855-55-5-73667-6678-4243-86329. "TODAY" is part of the phone number, but meant to be part of the jingle.

*The jingle has the same chord progression as The Isley Brothers' "Twist and Shout".

*The character that appears in this short is [[Senor Cardgage]], who is not to be confused with [[Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad]]. This is acknowledged by its description in the Toons menu: "Wait, is Senor Cardgage real!?!"

*The cubicle in the background is from [[dullard]] and, later, [[other days]].

*Senor Cardgage's creepy comb-over switches sides when he talks to the [[Visor Robot]] and again at the very end as he is walking forward while the phone number jingle is being sung.

*The classified ads in the beginning are apparently actual real estate listings for the East Coast. While it's largely illegibile, one can make out headings for Westchester County, New York State, Manhattan, Massachusetts, Vermont, Maine, Maryland, Georgia, and Florida.
*The robot voice in Senor Mortgage is actually Microsoft Sam from the program Microsoft Narrator.

*Senor Cardgage's remark about him being hard to talk to for more than a few seconds may be a reference to Homsar's similar trait from [[interview]].

'''Strong Bad Email #68'''

[[Strong Bad]] tries to pull a caper with [[The Cheat]], but The Cheat screws it up. However, Strong Bad can't stay mad at him for long, and after some singing, the two are best friends again. Awww.... how cute.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[The Cheat]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[Strong Mad]], [[Strong Sad]]

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' strongbad, underscore, email, dot e-x-e. Enter.

''{reading}''

<pre>Dear Strong Bad,

Why don't you and the Cheat pull a
caper of some sort. It seems like
there has been little cooperation
between the two of you as of late.

''{Strong Bad pronounces "Mi" like "me"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing:}'' Well, you're right. It's no secret that The Cheat and I haven't been getting along very well.... since he screwed up our last caper.

''{cuts to Strong Bad and The Cheat in Homestar's house at night, stealing his newspaper.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't care about the crosswords, man, just the jumbles, the jumbles!

''{The Cheat says something}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't know, go look over there.

''{The Cheat says something and goes over to a table with a cow lamp on it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, look out! Oh, great, man.

''{The Cheat knocks over the lamp, breaking it. A light turns on and Homestar comes out. He is wearing pajamas, and it appears he hasn't shaved. Strong Bad and The Cheat try not to look guilty.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{tired}'' Oh, hey Strong Sad. Batman. What are you guys doing in my house?

'''STRONG BAD:''' We've been ID'd! Every man for himself! ''{he and The Cheat run away}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks for stopping by, you guys. Thanks for breaking my cow lamp.

''{cuts back to the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, man. ''{Compy 386 starts playing music}'' Where did we go wrong? It seems like just yesterday we were setting fire to Strong Sad's underwears.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' That WAS yesterday.

'''STRONG BAD:''' This one's for you. ''{singing to the Compy's music}'' 
I got mad at The Cheat, uh! 
For screwing up the jumble caper, uh! 
I hope I don't see his name in the paper, in the obituaries 
Cause that would mean he's dead. 
''{pulls back to show Strong Mad and Strong Sad standing next to the computer clapping to the beat}'' 
The Cheat is not dead, 
I'm so glad The Cheat is not dead. 
The Cheat is not dead,

'''STRONG MAD:''' DEAD!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ohhh, I'm so glad The Cheat is not dead. 
The Cheat is not dead,

'''STRONG SAD:''' Dead!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm so glad The Cheat is not- ''{stops singing}'' Just the claps! Just the claps... Strong Sad, I didn't know you had any rhythm.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh sure, I've got tons of rhythm.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Keep it rolling for me guys, keep it rolling.

''{Strong Bad runs out to the field where The Cheat is waiting for him. The Compy is still playing the music.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, I... I just wanted to say that...

''{The Cheat says something that sounds like "I'm sorry"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, I can't stay mad at you!

''{The Cheat says something}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, how about a little kick for old time's sake?

''{The Cheat gives an angry look}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nah, I'm just kidding, man. ''{makes kicking motions}'' Oh, what, watch me now! Had you there.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. About five seconds later, Homestar walks out. He is still in his pajamas.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You guys are so cute. ''{pause}'' Man, I should probably get dressed or something. What is it, like three in the afternoon? Looking good, Homestar.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, what's the deal? I didn't know you had to shave.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, I don't. It's cinnamon.

== Easter Eggs ==
*After you see the Jumble Caper happen, you can click on the word "caper" to see their original plan.
*At the end you can click on The Cheat's eyes to see what became of Strong Bad's rhythm section.
:''{Cut back to Strong Bad's computer room. Strong Sad and Strong Mad are still clapping in time to the music}''
:'''STRONG SAD:''' Um... do you think we can stop now?
:'''STRONG MAD:''' KEEP IT ROLLIN'!
*If you wait for some time after the end Homestar will come out in his pajamas. Click on his slippers to see a jumble. You can also print the jumble!

== Fun Facts ==
*Check out the pictures on Homestar's wall - they show previous versions of him.
*Homestar is wearing one of the shirts you can buy in the store.
*''(The answer to the Jumble is "UN TACO".)'' Phew! '''This is a difficult one''', eh?
*When you click on The Cheat's eyes at the end and it shows Strong Mad and Strong Sad, the contrast buttons are missing on Strong Bad's computer. (Much like other emails with the same camera position)
*Homestar's comment, "Hey, Strong Sad. Batman," may be referring to The Cheat's pose when Homestar walks in. With his arms in the air, he represents the comic book character's mask.
*This is the one of the only times when Homestar is wearing a different shirt, besides in 20X6, 1936, a [[flashback]] easter egg, [[montage]], and [[Homestar Presents: Presents]].
* Manhunter New York (seen in the [[Floppy Disk Container]]) was an adventure game for DOS, Atari ST, and Amiga, released in 1988.

[[Image:xmas2004.png|thumb|I ran out of the house, naked somehow. ]]

Homestar does some last-minute Decemberween shopping.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Homestar Runner]], [[Strong Mad]], [[Strong Bad]], [[The Cheat]], [[Homsar]], [[Bubs]], [[Coach Z]], [[Strong Sad]], [[Marzipan]], [[Pom Pom]] (Easter Egg), [[The King of Town]] (Easter Egg), [[The Poopsmith]] (Easter Egg)

'''Page Title:''' White and Drifted Snow, Yo!

== Transcript ==
''{Wintery music plays as the camera zooms in on Homestar's clock; it flips from 9:59 to 10:00. Cut to Homestar Runner in bed yawning. Homestar sits up and looks out the window, and the music stops with a record needle sound.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh crap! I set the alarm for 10 PM instead of AM again!

''{While Homestar says this, cut to outside Homestar's window looking in, then back inside again.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I was supposed to go Decemberween shopping today!

''{Another record needle sound as the camera focuses on a page-a-day calendar, which reads 'Dec. 25 - "The D'Ween, Yo."'}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh crap! It's Decemberween already!

''{Homestar jumps out of bed and runs off, hitting the wall.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh crap! I ran into the door!

''{Homestar gets up and runs off again. The camera shakes to banging noises offscreen.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{dryly}'' Oh crap, I fell down the stairs.

''{Cut to outside Homestar's house. A pixelated Homestar leaps outside and looks around.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sighing}'' And now, I ran out of the house, naked somehow.

''{Homestar looks up at the snow.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh, but it ''is'' snowing.

''{Cut back to the calendar, over which the cartoon title appears, then to a mountain view with the the title "Blah blah blah - The Brothers Chaps", then to the side of a Decemberween-decorated side of Bubs' Concession Stand and the title "Vocal Styles by Missy & Matt", then finally to the Strongs' living room with the title "Here we go."}''

''{In the Strongs' living room, a toy set and present wrappings are on the floor. Strong Mad is tossing a rock with a winking face drawn on it and a ribbon up and catching it.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' I love you, Tony Stony! ''{holding the rock in front of his face}'' No, I love you more!

''{The camera pans over to reveal Strong Bad playing with an extending claw toy in front of a box labelled "Grabbo Arm".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' This thing is awesome. The Grabbo Arm demands respect. ''{to Strong Mad}'' I'd like to see somebody front on this. ''{calling}'' Hey, The Cheat!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{off-camera}'' Meh?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Grab ahold of that egg nog.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{off-camera}{"Okay" noise}''

''{The Cheat yelps as Strong Bad extends the Grabbo Arm to grab him, wearing antlers and holding a glass of egg nog.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks, man.

''{Cut outside, to Homsar waving a paintbrush, standing next to a Salvation Army-like red pail with a sign over it reading "Baked Beans". Homestar runs by, then skids to a stop in the snow and turns around.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Listen up, shortstop. I need some presents.

'''HOMSAR:''' Alms for the pudgy. Alms for the pudgy.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uhm, I don't know what any of that means, but I will make use of your complimentary spit bucket. Ah-ptoo!

''{Homestar spits into the bucket and runs off.}''

'''HOMSAR:''' You're a real state trooper.

''{Homestar runs across the countryside in silhouette, then to Bubs' Concession Stand.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{quickly}'' Bubs I need to buy everyone and their brother a Decemberween present! ''{panting}''

'''BUBS:''' Running a little late, aren't we Homestar?

''{Zoom in on Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I've got an hour and forty-five minutes. What do you got?

'''BUBS:''' ''{motioning to his left}'' Well, there's a bunch of my aught-four crap in that filthy box over there. Gotta make room for the aught-five crap!

''{Homestar walks over to the box, clearly labelled "aught four crap", and kneels down. The camera switches to inside the box looking out.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, what do we got here? ''{pulls out electrical tape}'' Electrical tape? Pom-Pom loves electrical tape. What else, what else? ''{pulls out a steak knife}'' Ooh, rusty steak knife. That's got Coach Z written all over it.

''{Cut to the locker room. Coach Z is sitting on the bench in front of a TV dinner on a TV tray.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Ooh, salisbury steak. Ring ring! ''{Picks up a phone with frayed wires, not attached to anything}'' Helloar? Ooh, Mom! Well, a very cheery Decemberween to you too! ''{shakes his head}'' Oh, Dad, it's you. Sorry about that. Yes, sir, I cooked a turkey, with the gravied yams and stuffinged ham. No, I'm not alone. Yes, this phone is plugged in.

''{The lights suddenly go out.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Aww, crackles. ''{Dejectedly}'' I forgot to pay my bills again this year...

''{Cut back to Bubs' concession stand. Homestar pulls out a banana with an arrow through it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey Bubs, check this out. For the Poopsmith who has everything.

'''BUBS:''' You give me anything in that box, you'll be gettin' a kick in the skull with a ribbon on it.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Right right. Ribbons. Bubs loves ribbons. Lessee, Strong Sad. Don't need to worry about Strong Sad.

''{Cut to an old fashioned bathtub with chains holding the boards covering the top in place.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{(singing, from locked inside the tub)}'' One night in Bangkok and the rough got rougher...

''{Cut to Marzipan's house, where she is sitting on the couch sporting lights in her hair.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' If Homestar doesn't get here soon with my present, I'm gonna' cook his goose.

''{Homestar runs in and trips, falling flat on his face in front of Marzipan. He gets up in a daze and hands Marzipan a wrapped present.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{groggily}'' Happy Decemberween, Marzi-man.

''{Homestar falls back on the floor and Marzipan opens the present.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{disappointingly}'' Wire cutters...?

''{Strong Bad walks in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Foolish Homestar. Decemberween is not about getting people presents. It's about getting people ''good'' presents! ''Good presents!'' Not this last-minute discount crap you're trying to foist on us!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{interrupting}'' Oh, Homestar, it's perfect!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER AND STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' It is?

'''MARZIPAN:''' This is just what I need to free the baby seals from the crab traps down at the wharf. ''{singing to herself}'' Free the baby seals...

''{Marzipan walks off, smiling.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, shut my mouth.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well well, Strong-o Bad-o. Looks like the ol' captain of the team still has what it takes.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{brandishing his Grabbo Arm}'' Oh yeah? Well, the Grabbo Arm has what it takes, ''{extends the arm}'' and what it takes is Marzipan's purse.

''{The Grabbo Arm comes back with Marzipan's purse.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No skin off my back.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, thanks! Have a nice last seven minutes of Decemberween, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{increduously}'' There's only seven minutes left of Decemberween?! Oh, crap! I forgot to get everyone presents!

''{Homestar runs off again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh, it goes on and on like this.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{off-camera}'' Oh, crap! There's only seven minutes left of Decemberween?!

''{Homestar Runner runs back behind Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Seriously. Like until New Year's.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{off-camera}'' Oh, crap! there's only seven minutes left...

''{scene fades to black.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I didn't know we had any wharfs.

''{The camera returns to Homestar's clock, which displays the number of minutes remaining until Decemberween. The back button appears.}''


== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on "Homestar's Clock" at the end to see what happened to the three main characters left out of this toon.
:''{The King of Town, the Poopsmith, and Pom-Pom sit around a table in what is probably the King of Town's castle, two cans labeled "gravied yams" and "stuffinged ham" on the table. On the wall behind them is a sign that reads, "Left Out Characters' Support Group & Buffet."}''
:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Pass the gravied yams, please. And don't bogart that stuffinged ham neither!

== Fun Facts ==
*The toy on the floor in the Strongs' living room is a [http://www.constructiontoys.com/store/capsela.php Capsela] set, a module-based construction set which can be used to make portable fans, real floating boats, all manner of wheel and caterpillar-driven vehicles, and even remote-controlled robots. It appears as though their set in particular was used to make a boat (the "balloon" capsules on the bottom are a dead giveaway).
*Strong Sad being locked in the bathtub is a reference to [[The Best Decemberween Ever]], when he says that's what his brothers do to him every Decemberween.
*The song Strong Sad sings in the bathtub is a reference to "One Night in Bangkok". It was a number one hit for Murray Head in 1984 and was composed and written by Benny Anderson and Bj�rn Ulvaeus of ABBA and Tim Rice. It is from the musical Chess. However, the lyric he sings was not part of the original song, but rather a commentary on his situation.
*At the end, [[Homestar's Clock]] shows how many minutes are left of Decemberween. The clock runs on your computer's clock and counts down to midnight on December 26. If the time runs out, the clock reads "It's Over", then starts over from 525,600 minutes left. You can also force it to say "It's Over" if you right-click on the toon and pick "Play" from the menu (only works if viewing the flash file directly).
*Homestar dressed in his pajamas with a cinnamon stubble is a reference to [[caper]].
*Strong Bad gives his own take on the morals from the [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0302596/ Garfield Christmas Special], in which Garfield says "Christmas: It's not the giving. It's not the getting. It's the loving."
*This is one of the very few times when we see the inside of Homestar's house. The others are [[radio]] and [[caper]]
*This episode marks [[Homsar]]'s first appearance in a Decemberween 'toon.
*There is a total of ten audible 'crap's in this cartoon. A new record?
*Homestar's T-shirt at the beginning is almost identical to the one Michael Jackson wears in the beginning of the "Beat It" video.
*The dripping during Strong Sad's scene is the same sound used in [[Main Page 14]].
*Homestar saying, "Oh cwap!" excitedly and then less and less excitedly is similar to [[The King Of Town DVD]], when he questions The King of Town's workers "I say.."

*Darn! I just spent an hour transcribing the toon to find someone'd already done it! Is there some procedure for calling dibs on it? Also, I know that I contributed both the cast of characters and the easter egg, yet I do not see my edit listed in the history. What gives? --FireLily
**I can't comment on the second part, but it's normal to post in the transcription section saying that it's in progress. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 04:58, 20 Dec 2004 (MST)
**Your edit is on the page [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Homestar_presents:_Presents&redirect=no Homestar presents: Presents]. I made a template on this page ([[Homestar Presents: Presents]] - note correct capitalization) and posted that the transcript was in progress at around 1:40 EST. After I'd finished the entire page (picture, cast list, transcript, fun facts, and easter eggs), I noticed the other page with the incorrect capitalization. Since all it had was a cast list, the lone easter egg, and a couple of Fun Facts that I didn't have, I took the Fun Facts that weren't already on my page and moved them there, then deleted the rest of that page and changed it to a redirect to this page. -- [[User:Forteblast|Forteblast]] 10:05, 20 Dec 2004 (MST)
*Could Coach Z talking on an unplugged phone be a refrence to the film The Waterboy? There's a scene in which Coach Klein (Henry Winkler) talks to "grandma" on a phone and as the camera pans down, it is revealed that the phone reciever is unplugged.. and he's wearing high heels.
**Maybe. Why don't you post it on the [[HRWiki:STUFF|STUFF]] page? [[User:Forteblast|Forteblast]] 10:05, 20 Dec 2004 (MST)

'''Strong Bad Email #120'''

'''Cast (In order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Strong Sad]]/[[The Deathly Pallor]], [[Marzipan]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[The Strong Bad]], [[Strong Mad]] (easter Egg), [[The Sneak]] (Easter Egg)

Strong Bad gives some advice on how to be a radio host, in various genres.

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' I got miles and miles of the e-mail style. Miles and miles of the e-mail style.

''{types in "strongbad_email.exe"}''

<pre>subject: radio
Dear Strong Bad,
My friends are radio hosts. Any chance you could give
them any pointers on what they could say/do on their show?
bowing to you
Fraser, Scotland
</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, no need to bow, Fraser. Get up. ''{reverently}'' Rise, my son. And giveth me instead $7.50 with which to buy some buffalo chicken tenders. ''{clears the screen}'' So, your "friends" are radio show hosts, huh? Well, the first rule of thumb for all radio personalities is to look absolutely nothing like how they sound. Take Ol' Greystoke for instance.

''{Cut to Strong Sad standing in his room}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' Now here's a whiny know-it-all who sounds just like he looks.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Why thank you, Senator.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' Quit calling me that. Anyway, if Strong Sad was a radio host, he'd sound like this:

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{In radio host voice}'' Hey hey hey, it's the Deathly Pallor, coming at you on the numbitty 902, WA3D FM, "The Sturge." Coming up next, we have some hot new tracks from double-O ballyhoo!

''{Strong Sad covers his mouth in horror while Strong Bad laughs.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{Normal voice/frightened}'' Don't you ever make me do that again!

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So once they've got the voice/appearance mismatch working, then it all just depends on what kind of radio station they work for. Listen and loin as I run my test sentence through the various genres.

'''Voice-over:''' Strong Bad's test sentence is "The fish was delish and it made quite a dish." ''{The sentence appears on-screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' First up is public radio: smooth n' smarmy.

''{Cut to Marzipan's kitchen. A radio is sitting on the counter.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as Public Radio host}'' Today on Capitol Hill, the fish was delish, and according to U.N. secretary council members, it made quite a dish. You are listening to member-supported public radio.

''{Public Radio theme song plays. Marzipan walks in.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Dang old public radio. I never got my totebag.

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Next up is the drive time morning show. ''{A morning show poster with two Strong Bad-like hosts appears onscreen.}'' These guys are like bad stand up comics that you can't heckle. Or jeckle. Or throw highball glasses at.

''{Cut to a clock-radio.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as morning talk show host, with sound effects in the background}'' Rise and shine, people! The fish was delish. ''{canned laughter}'' Wait for it, wait for it!''{clowny sounds}'' And it made quite a dish.

''{Cut back from the clock-radio to show Homestar in his house with a Public Radio totebag over his head, holding a highball glass containing a brown liquid with ice cubes.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, squawk box! Shut it up about the fish already.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I guess that's the way ''{honk honk}'' the cookie crumbles.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hi-ball! ''{throws highball glass at radio}''

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Then there's the utter misery that is college radio, where they apparently just let any bewildered freshman wander in to the booth and try to run a radio station.

''{Cut to a boombox containing a blank tape.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as college radio host, over a song ending and some feedback}'' Uh, that, that was "The fish was delish" and we heard... track six...''{thumbing through CD jewel cases}'' "it made... quite a dish".

''{Cut to Strong Sad's room, where he is sitting next to the boombox writing some calligraphy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{on radio}'' Um... cam... campus outreach is looking for... hang on...

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' College radio can pretty much be summed up in five words: 
Dead air, um, dead air.

''{Cut back to the boombox}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as college radio host}'' Okay, I am out of here for today, but um, but first up is, an, um, okay... an... an hour of chanting.

''{A chant plays on the boombox, and Strong Sad's hand hits the Play and Record buttons.}''

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And just in case your friends are um, in the past: here's old-timey radio.

''{Cut to 1936 style and an old-timey radio, with The Strong Bad reading in front of a microphone}''

'''THE STRONG BAD:''' ''{as old-timey radio host}'' This week on The Fish Was Delish progrum, brought to you by Portly Washboy laundry paste, we join The Fish down at the wharf as he closes in on the Quite a Dish gang's hideout. Stay tuned for partial excitement.

''{The [[Portly Washboy Fancy Laundry Paste|Portly Washboy]] logo appears. It is of a boy and a heaping jar of paste with a spoon in it.}''

'''Voice-over:''' ''{singing}'' Portly Washboy. Don't eat it like the cartoon man.

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Done and done, Fraser. Your friends should be well on their way to annoying drivers and gas station attendants the world over. Ooh! And see if you can score me some free coozies, frisbees, or bottle openers from their station. Those free giveaways: Highly flammable.

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

<pre>Click here to e-mail Strong Bad
strongbad@homestarrunner.com</pre>

== Easter Eggs ==
* Click on Strong Sad's stomach while he does the radio voice to see him wearing a t-shirt from WA3D FM "The Sturge" radio station.
*Click on "The Fish Was Delish, and it made quite a dish" when it shows up to show a children's book made in the style of Dr. Seuss, called "The Fish Was Delish, and it Made Quite a Dish". It was written by Crazy Prof. Sportsinterviews (aka [[Lem Sportsinterviews|Leomard Sportsinterviews]]), who writes most of the children's books Strong Bad mangles.
* Click on "coozies, frisbees, or bottle openers" after [[The Paper]] comes down to see them.
* Click on "annoying" after The Paper comes down to see/hear more of Strong Sad's new persona.
:'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{normal voice}'' Oh, I disagree! I think it's more than just a matter of simple economics. In fact, I'd say...

:'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{radio host voice and mannerisms, with music}'' Oh, yeah! What's the phrase that pays that plays for days? It's numbitty-nine-oh-two "The Sturge." Don't you touch that BLEBERTYBLOUGH!

:'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{confused}'' Blebertyblough?
* Click on "me" after The Paper comes down to see more of old timey Strong Bad.
:'''RADIO:''' ''{The Strong Bad}'' Stay tuned for partial excitement!

:'''THE STRONG BAD:''' ''{listening}'' Drat and double drat! It's true what they say! The rah-dio really does add four and twenty stone to one's voice!

== Fun Facts ==

*After the text of "The Fish Was Delish..." disappears, you can still click where it was and it will come up.
*Strong Sad's left sleeve disappears during parts of that easter egg. If you click on him again, it reappears. (Depicted in article image above.)
*The short theme heard while Marzipan listens to public radio is reminiscent of the Videlectrix theme.
*For some reason, Homestar must have his lights set to come on with the radio alarm at 7:00am; strangely, he is already up and having a drink.
*The totebag on Homestar's head reads: ''PRS Public Radio Sounds "Smooth 'n Smarmy"''. One can infer that the totebag rightly belongs to Marzipan.
*"Four-and-twenty stone" is 336 pounds (one stone = 14 pounds).
**This is a reference to the belief that "television puts ten pounds on you."
*The real WSBD is a news radio station in Ohio. TBC cannot have possibly known about it; SBD most likely stands for '''S'''trong '''B'''a'''d'''.

=== References ===
==== To other cartoons ====

*This is the second time Strong Sad has confused Strong Mad by saying something weird. The first was in [[caffeine]], after he said parakeet.
*Strong Sad's calligraphy pen is also featured in his action figure in the easter egg for [[action figure]], and from the [[Strong Bad Is in Jail Cartoon]].
*Strong Sad's radio voice is the same voice as [[Reinforcements]] - one of the [[Cheat Commandos]]
*The college radio is [[WSBD|89.3 WSBD The Voice of CGNU]], "Several Dozen Listeners". This refers to [[Crazy Go Nuts University]].
*The [[Trivia Time]] cookie jar appears in Marzipan's kitchen.
*Homestar's command of "shut it up" is a reference to The Cheat's [[crazy cartoon]].
*This is the second time we've seen the interior of Homestar's House. The first was in [[caper]], when Strong Bad and The Cheat tried to steal his Jumbles. Apparently, someone fixed his cow lamp, which is seen at the righthand side of the screen.
*Strong Sad refers to himself as "[[The Deathly Pallor]]," harking back to Coach Z's introduction of Strong Sad in the email [[impression]].
*Strong Bad says the words "absolutely nothing" exactly the same way in the email [[website]].
*"progrum" Is also a referance to [[pizzaz]] from "Strong Bad Type Interview Progrum"
*Right at the very end of the chanting, one can hear the first two notes of the "Sweet Cuppin' Cakes" theme song, as seen in [[Decemberween Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]].
*The music playing during the morning radio segment is the Dangeresque theme from [[stunt double]]

==== To real things ====

* A [[Wikipedia:Highball_glass|highball glass]] is a tall, narrow glass typically used to serve certain types of alcohol and cocktails.
** Homestar's "highball," therefore, isn't a highball at all, since it's served in a short, stout glass rather than a tall, thin one.
** The glass Homestar throws is a "Rocks Glass", which are generally short and stout.
** Homestar's glass is the same one The Cheat had on the table in [[montage]] while smoking.
*Marzipan's reference to the totebag has to do with public radio and/or tv often having on-air fundraisers where they offer gifts for different levels of donations.
*The book "The fish was delish and it made quite a dish" (see Easter Eggs) is an obvious spoof of [[Wikipedia:Dr. Seuss|Dr. Seuss]]'s books, even down to the name of the author, [[Lem Sportsinterviews|Lem 'The Crazy Prof.' Sportsinterviews]].
*Marzipan's book ''Tolstoy Story 2'' is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Leo Tolstoy|Leo Tolstoy]], a famous Russian author, and also to the Disney/Pixar film ''[[Wikipedia:Toy Story 2|Toy Story 2]]''.
*"PRS" is a playful combination of [http://www.pbs.org PBS], the Public Broadcasting Service, and [http://www.pri.org PRI], Public Radio International.
*The "UN Secretary Council" represents a mix between the [http://www.un.org/News/ossg/sg/ UN Secretary-General] and the [http://www.un.org/Docs/sc/ UN Security Council], both of which sound similar and frequently make headlines on PBS and PRI.
*The bit where the voice-over tells the viewer what the test phrase is in whispered tones is a reference to game shows like "Password," where something similar would occur so that the viewers knew what the password was.
*Judging by Strong Sad's T-shirt, "The Sturge" is short for [[Wikipedia:Sturgeon| sturgeon]], a large, rare fish and is an obvious spoof of radio stations named after animals. For example, ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077097/ WKRP in Cincinnati],'' had the mascot, "the WKRP Carp."
*"Heckle or jeckle" is a reference to the [[Wikipedia: Terrytoons|Terrytoons]] cartoon [http://www.toonopedia.com/hekljekl.htm Heckle and Jeckle].

*In the old timey Strong Bad Easter Egg, the way that Strong Bad pronounces radio (rah-dio) is the same as how Nick Niespodziani of [http://www.pleaserock.com Y-O-U] pronounces it in the song [http://www.pleaserock.com/downloads/radio.mp3 Radio]. Y-O-U was the band that worked with [[The Brothers Chaps]] on the [[Strong Bad Sings CD]].

==== Possible references ====
*Strong Bad calling Strong Sad "Greystoke" is a possible reference to the fictional character [[Wikipedia:Tarzan|Tarzan]], who was the orphaned son of Lord Greystoke.
*Sir Strong Bad saying "Drat and double drat!" is also said by Dick Dastardly from the '60s cartoon "The Wacky Races". Sir Strong Bad may be partially based on Dick Dastardly, as they share many characteristics.

*The college radio station is "89.3 WSBD The Voice of CGNU". 89.3 is a real radio station in Atlanta, which, like college radio, has very bad hosts.
*When Strong bad says 'The fish was delish, and it made quite a dish' might be a reference to the short-lived Teenage mutant ninja turtles live action series called [http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/ShowMainServlet/showid-7740/ Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation]
**The quote can be seen [http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Underworld/6703/page70.html here].
*Homestar must be a terrific athletic if he can nail a highball glass on a radio with a totebag on his head.

'''Strong Bad Email #46'''

ANDREW writes in to tell Strong Bad that he likes it best when he harms his friends. So, naturally, Strong Bad goes out and harms his friends in numerous funny ways.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Strong Mad]], [[Bubs]], [[Strong Sad]], [[Marzipan]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[Pom Pom]], [[The Cheat]], [[Homsar]], [[Coach Z]], [[The King of Town]], [[The Poopsmith]] (easter egg)

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{Clears throat and sings}'' E-MAAAAAAAAAAAAILLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<pre>WASSUP!

YOU ARE AWESOME. I LIKE IT MOST WHEN
YOU HARM YOUR FRIENDS.

ANDREW</pre>

''{Strong Bad reads in a loud monotone to reflect the caps lock being on.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{types}'' Andrew, This is the best E-mail I've ever received. Let's get to work!
''{gets up}''

''{cuts to Strong Bad's basement. Strong Mad is standing and watching TV. Strong Bad walks up to him.}''

'''PERSON ON TV''': Some type of TV show...

'''STRONG BAD''': Hows about this!

''{Quickly kicks Strong Mad in the shin and walks off. Strong Mad looks back at him in anger.}''

''{Cuts to garage. Bubs is there.}''

'''BUBS''': What the?

''{Strong Bad hits him over the head with a Golden Record.}''

''{Cut to Strong Sad's room. Strong Sad is lying in bed. Strong Bad whacks him continuously with a whiffle bat.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': OW! ''{whack}'' OW! ''{whack}'' OW! ''{whack}'' OW! ''{whack}''

''{Cut to field-Marzipan is there. Strong Bad has a whole pile of circular saw blades in a pile behind him and a bottle of sauce.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Close your eyes and hold out your hands.

'''MARZIPAN''': I don't want to!

''{Cut to another part of the field. Homestar Runner is there with Strong Bad, with a huge tub of lava. It says "HOT LAVA" on the side.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Put your head in here.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': You got it!

''{Cut to another part of the field, Strong Bad has taped The Cheat to Pom Pom. They both complain as Pom Pom tries to shake him off.}''

''{Cut to Strongbadia. Homsar is buried in the ground and Strong Bad has put down a box that say "We Are the Scorpions!" The scorpions crawl around on Homsar. One goes into his mouth.''

'''HOMSAR''': AaAaAaAaAaAaA!!! I'm saving the best for last!

''{Cut to Locker. Strong Bad has given a bag of hot fries to Coach Z}''

'''COACH Z''': Hey, Thanks for the Chippies Strong Bad!

''{Cut to Field again. The King of Town is there. Strong Bad whacks him with the Golden Record.}''

''{Cut to Compy}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Ahhh, just givin' the fans what they want! ''{types}'' You may have noticed I didn't do anything to the Poopsmith. I figure the guy shovels crap for a living so his tolerance for pain's gotta be through the roof. I was thinking about giving him a bath or something but, just the thought of that gave me the jibblies. ''{stops typing}'' Here they come again. The jibblie jibbles....

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

== Easter Eggs ==

*At the end, click on Poopsmith for a The Poopsmith trading card.

== Fun Facts ==
*The record that Strong Bad breaks on people's heads reads "[[Everybody to the Limit]]". It is gold, which means it sold over 500,000 copies.
*In the Marzipan scene the hot sauce bottle on top of the circular saw blades reads "Sauce".
*In the Homsar scene Strong bad is holding the same hot sauce bottle that was behind him with Marzipan.
*Strong Mad's only weakness appears to be his knees.
**Strong Bad also shows this earlier on in [[little animal]].
*Strong Bad gives Coach Z [http://www.taquitos.net/snacks.php?snack_code=221 Andy Capp's Hot Fries].
**Coach Z's weakness appears to be Hot Fries, but this email doesn't tell us why that is. It has been suspected that the hot sauce may have been poured on them, but the DVD commentary makes no mention of the hot sauce and does not tell why they are bad. (If you listen closely, you can hear a hissing sound, meaning it may be a bomb fuse or a snake.)
*The file name for the .swf for this Strong Bad Email has an "x" after the number. The .swf without the "x" is still viewable, but with a few minor differences. The music stops early, and some things are missing from some scenes that are in the version with the "x".
*Strong Bad claims this is the greatest e-mail he ever received but he never mentioned it in [[personal favorites]]. Also, in [[labor day]] he says his favorite is [[the basics]].
*This is the first e-mail to feature all twelve main characters (if you count the Poopsmith's playing card). The only other e-mail to date to do that is [[different town]].
*This is one of the few episodes we get to see Strong Bad's eyes narrow (They do so in the glare of his screen.)
*"We are the Scorpions!" is a reference to the German hair metal band Scorpions, most well known for the song "Rock You Like a Hurricane", and 70's British rock band [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_%28band%29 Queen's] hit song "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Are_the_Champions We Are The Champions]".

== DVD Version ==
*The trading card Easter Egg can still be viewed using the angle button on your DVD remote.
*The DVD version adds a hidden creator's commentary. To access it, change your DVD player's audio language selection while watching this email.

=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]])

'''MIKE:''' ''{attempting to sing like Strong Bad}'' Emaail- ''{stops}'' sing it, Matt. ''{tries again}'' eeee-

'''MATT:''' No, Mike, I'm not going to do that again.

'''MIKE:''' Hey Matt, do Strong Bad's voice.

'''MATT:''' No.

'''MIKE:''' Do it. ''{Powered by The Cheat Strong Bad}'' Hey.

'''MATT:''' That was a good one.

'''MIKE:''' Thanks.

'''MATT:''' This was one, I think, Mike did almost entirely on his own. I had to go out of town again.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Um... we didn't do some commentary on the ones where YOU went out of town, so it doesn't sound- I like that. "Some type of TV show."

'''MIKE:''' That's a wiffle ball bat. Some people think it's like a broomstick.

'''MATT:''' Was that The Promise Ring in the background, too?

'''MIKE:''' I think so, yeah.

'''MATT:''' A Promise Ring poster. Uh-oh.

'''MIKE:''' Pom-Pom has a Cheat taped to him.

''{unintelligible by both}''

'''MATT:''' We are the Scorpions! Everybody, uh, wonders a lot why the Hot Fries are bad, like, and they think that sizzle- that's a sizzling noise when it's really just the shower.

'''MIKE:''' You know they've got Andy frie- uh, Andy Capp Steak Fries

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I've seen those.

'''MIKE:''' I saw those. I wanted to get them, but I was five cents short.

'''MATT:''' But, uh, I actually kind of like Andy Capp's Hot Fries-

'''MIKE:''' I do too

'''MATT:''' -so I don't know why we used them as a punishment

=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]])

'''MIKE:''' ''{attempting to sing like Strong Bad}'' Emaail- ''{stops}'' sing it, Matt. ''{tries again}'' eeee-

'''MATT:''' No, Mike, I'm not going to do that again.

'''MIKE:''' Hey Matt, do Strong Bad's voice.

'''MATT:''' No.

'''MIKE:''' Do it. ''{Powered by The Cheat Strong Bad}'' Hey.

'''MATT:''' That was a good one.

'''MIKE:''' Thanks.

'''MATT:''' This was one, I think, Mike did almost entirely on his own. I had to go out of town again.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Um... we didn't do some commentary on the ones where YOU went out of town, so it doesn't sound- I like that. "Some type of TV show."

'''MIKE:''' That's a wiffle ball bat. Some people think it's like a broomstick.

'''MATT:''' Was that The Promise Ring in the background, too?

'''MIKE:''' I think so, yeah.

'''MATT:''' A Promise Ring poster. Uh-oh.

'''MIKE:''' Pom-Pom has a Cheat taped to him.

''{unintelligible by both}''

'''MATT:''' We are the Scorpions! Everybody, uh, wonders a lot why the Hot Fries are bad, like, and they think that sizzle- that's a sizzling noise when it's really just the shower.

'''MIKE:''' You know they've got Andy frie- uh, Andy Capp Steak Fries

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I've seen those.

'''MIKE:''' I saw those. I wanted to get them, but I was five cents short.

'''MATT:''' But, uh, I actually kind of like Andy Capp's Hot Fries-

'''MIKE:''' I do too

'''MATT:''' -so I don't know why we used them as a punishment

Decemberween

[[Image:xmas2002.png|thumb|right|220px|Decemberween will come soon!]]
'''Decemberween''' is a holiday celebrated by the people of [[Free Country, USA]], 55 days after Halloween. It bears some similarities to Christmas as it takes place on December 25th and is celebrated by hanging colorful lights and garland and giving presents, but it's not quite the same. It has complicated origins involving at least one [[The Angel |Angel]], [[Dr. Christmas]] (who looks a bit like Santa Claus), 2 Kobe Bryants, and a sailor named [[Archibald]], as explained in [[A Decemberween Pageant]]. It also seems to be celebrated in July.

Forteblast: Various edits

[[Image:homestarclock.png|thumb|Happy something-or-other last minutes of Decemberween!]]Homestar's bedroom clock has made its sole appearance in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]]. In addition to being seen in the toon, at the end it is used to display the number of minutes of [[Decemberween]] left (until midnight on December 26 to be exact). It runs off your computer's time and says "It's Over" should the time run out.

'''Page Title:''' White and Drifted Snow, Yo!

== Transcript ==
''{Wintery music plays as the camera zooms in on Homestar's clock; it flips from 9:59 to 10:00. Cut to Homestar Runner in bed yawning. Homestar sits up and looks out the window, and the music stops with a record needle sound.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh crap! I set the alarm for 10 PM instead of AM again!

''{While Homestar says this, cut to outside Homestar's window looking in, then back inside again.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I was supposed to go Decemberween shopping today!

''{Another record needle sound as the camera focuses on a page-a-day calendar, which reads 'Dec. 25 - "The D'Ween, Yo."'}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh crap! It's Decemberween already!

''{Homestar jumps out of bed and runs off, hitting the wall.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh crap! I ran into the door!

''{Homestar gets up and runs off again. The camera shakes to banging noises offscreen.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' (dryly) Oh crap, I fell down the stairs.

''{Cut to outside Homestar's house. A naked Homestar leaps outside and looks around.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' (sighing) And now, I ran out of the house, naked somehow.

''{Homestar looks up at the snow.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh, but it ''is'' snowing.

''{Cut back to the calendar, over which the cartoon title appears, then to a mountain view with the the title "Blah blah blah - The Brothers Chaps", then to the side of a Decemberween-decorated side of Bubs' Concession Stand and the title "Vocal Styles by Missy & Matt", then to the Strongs' living room with and the title "Here we go."}''

''{In the Strongs' living room, a toy set and present wrappings are on the floor. Strong Mad is tossing a rock with a winking face drawn on it and a ribbon up and catching it.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' I love you, Tony Stony! (holding Tony Stony in front of his face) No, I love you more!

''{The camera pans over to reveal Strong Bad playing with an extending claw toy in front of a box labelled "Grabbo Arm".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' This thing is awesome. The Grabbo Arm demands respect. (To Strong Mad) I'd like to see somebody front on this. Hey, The Cheat.

'''THE CHEAT:''' Meh?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Grab a-hold of that egg nog.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ("Okay" noise)

''{The Cheat yelps as Strong Bad extends the Grabbo Arm to grab him, wearing antlers and holding a glass of egg nog.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks, man.

''{Cut outside, to Homsar waving a paintbrush, standing next to a Salvation Army-like red pail with a sign over it reading "Baked Beans". Homestar runs by, then skids to a stop in the snow and turns around.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Listen up, shortstop. I need some presents.

'''HOMSAR:''' Alms for the pudgy. Alms for the pudgy.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uhm, I don't know what any of that means, but I will make use of your complimentary spit bucket. Ah-ptoo!

''{Homestar spits into the bucket and runs off.}''

'''HOMSAR:''' You're a real state trooper.

''{Homestar runs across the countryside in silhouette, then to Bubs' Concession Stand.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' (quickly) Bubs I need to buy everyone and their brother a Decemberween present! (panting)

'''BUBS:''' Running a little late, aren't we Homestar?

''{Zoom in on Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I've got an hour and firty-five minutes. What do you got?

'''BUBS:''' (motioning to his left) Well, there's a bunch of my ought-four crap in that filthy box over there. Gotta make room for the ought-five crap!

''{Homestar walks over to the box, clearly labelled "aught four crap", and kneels down. The camera switches to inside the box looking out.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, what do we got here? (pulls out electrical tape) Electrical tape? Pom-Pom loves electrical tape. What else, what else? Ooh, rusty steak knife. That's got Coach Z written all over it.

''{Cut to the locker room. Coach Z is sitting on the bench in front of a TV dinner on a TV tray.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Ooh, salisbury steak. Ring ring! (Picks up a phone with frayed wires, not attached to anything) Helloar? Ooh, Mom! Well, a very cheery Decemberween to you too! (shakes his head) Oh, Dad, it's you. Sorry about that. Yes, sir, I cooked a turkey, with the gravied yams and stuffinged ham. No, I'm not alone. Yes, this phone is plugged in.

''{The lights suddenly go out.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Aww, crackles. (Dejectedly) I forgot to pay my bills again this year...

''{Cut back to Bubs' concession stand. Homestar pulls out a banana with an arrow through it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey Bubs, check this out. For the Poopsmith who has everything.

'''BUBS:''' You give me anything in that box, you'll be gettin' a kick in the skull with a ribbon on it.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Right right. Ribbons. Bubs loves ribbons. Lessee, Strong Sad. Don't need to worry about Strong Sad.

''{Cut to an old fashioned bathtub with chains holding the boards covering the top in place.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' (singing, from inside the tub) One night in Bangkok and the rough got rougher...

''{Cut to Marzipan's house, where she is sitting on the couch sporting lights in her hair.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' If Homestar doesn't get here soon with my present, I'm gonna cook his goose.

''{Homestar runs in and trips, falling flat on his face in front of Marzipan. He gets up in a daze and hands Marzipan a wrapped present.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' (groggily) Happy Decemberween, Marzi-man.

''{Homestar falls back on the floor and Marzipan opens the present.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' (disappointingly) Wire cutters...?

''{Strong Bad walks in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Foolish Homestar. Decemberween is not about getting people presents. It's about getting people ''good'' presents! ''Good presents!'' Not this last-minute discount crap you're trying to force on us!

'''MARZIPAN:''' (interrupting) Oh, Homestar, it's perfect!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER and STRONG BAD:''' It is?

'''MARZIPAN:''' This is just I need to free the baby seals from the crab traps down at the wharf. (singing to herself) Free the baby seals...

''{Marzipan walks off, smiling.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, shut my mouth.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well well, Strong-o Bad-o. Looks like the ol' captain of the team still has what it takes.

'''STRONG BAD:''' (brandishing his Grabbo Arm) Oh yeah? Well, the Grabbo Arm has what it takes, (extends the arm) and what it takes is Marzipan's purse.

''{The Grabbo Arm comes back with Marzipan's purse.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No skin off my back.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, thanks! Have a nice last seven minutes of Decemberween, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' (increduously) There's only seven minutes left of Decemberween?! Oh, crap! I forgot to get everyone presents!

''{Homestar runs off again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh, it goes on and on like this.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' (off-camera) Oh, crap! There's only seven minutes left of Decemberween?!

''{Homestar Runner runs back behind Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Seriously. Like until New Year's.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' (off-camera) Oh, crap!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I didn't know we had any wharfs.

''{The camera returns to Homestar's clock, which displays the number of minutes remaining until Decemberween, depending on your computer's clock. The back button appears.}''

''{Cut outside, to Homsar waving a paintbrush, standing next to a Salvation Army-like red pail with a sign over it reading "Baked Beans". Homestar runs by, then skids to a stop in the snow and turns around.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Listen up, shortstop. I need some presents.

'''HOMSAR:''' Alms for the pudgy. Alms for the pudgy.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uhm, I don't know what any of that means, but I will make use of your complimentary spit bucket. Ah-ptoo!

''{Homestar spits into the bucket and runs off.}''

'''HOMSAR:''' You're a real state trooper.

''{Homestar runs across the countryside in silhouette, then to Bubs' Concession Stand.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' (quickly) Bubs I need to buy everyone and their brother a Decemberween present! (panting)

'''BUBS:''' Running a little late, aren't we Homestar?

''{Zoom in on Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I've got an hour and firty-five minutes. What do you got?

'''BUBS:''' (motioning to his left) Well, there's a bunch of my ought-four crap in that filthy box over there. Gotta make room for the ought-five crap!

''{Homestar walks over to the box, clearly labelled "aught four crap", and kneels down. The camera switches to inside the box looking out.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, what do we got here? (pulls out electrical tape) Electrical tape? Pom-Pom loves electrical tape. What else, what else? Ooh, rusty steak knife. That's got Coach Z written all over it.

''{Cut to the locker room. Coach Z is sitting on the bench in front of a TV dinner on a TV tray.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Ooh, salisbury steak. Ring ring! (Picks up a phone with frayed wires, not attached to anything) Helloar? Ooh, Mom! Well, a very cheery Decemberween to you too! (shakes his head) Oh, Dad, it's you. Sorry about that. Yes, sir, I cooked a turkey, with the gravied yams and stuffinged ham. No, I'm not alone. Yes, this phone is plugged in.

''{The lights suddenly go out.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Aww, crackles. (Dejectedly) I forgot to pay my bills again this year...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Right right. Ribbons. Bubs loves ribbons. Lessee, Strong Sad. Don't need to worry about Strong Sad.

''{Cut to an old fashioned bathtub with chains holding the boards covering the top in place.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' (singing, from inside the tub) One night in Bangkok and the rough got rougher...

''{Cut to Marzipan's house, where she is sitting on the couch sporting lights in her hair.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' (groggily) Happy Decemberween, Marzi-man.

''{Homestar falls back on the floor and Marzipan opens the present.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' (disappointingly) Wire cutters...?

''{Strong Bad walks in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Foolish Homestar. Decemberween is not about getting people presents. It's about getting people ''good'' presents! ''Good presents!'' Not this last-minute discount crap you're trying to force on us!

'''MARZIPAN:''' (interrupting) Oh, Homestar, it's perfect!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER and STRONG BAD:''' It is?

'''MARZIPAN:''' This is just I need to free the baby seals from the crab traps down at the wharf. (singing to herself) Free the baby seals...

''{Marzipan walks off, smiling.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, shut my mouth.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well well, Strong-o Bad-o. Looks like the ol' captain of the team still has what it takes.

'''STRONG BAD:''' (brandishing his Grabbo Arm) Oh yeah? Well, the Grabbo Arm has what it takes, (extends the arm) and what it takes is Marzipan's purse.

''{The Grabbo Arm comes back with Marzipan's purse.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No skin off my back.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, thanks! Have a nice last seven minutes of Decemberween, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' (increduously) There's only seven minutes left of Decemberween?! Oh, crap! I forgot to get everyone presents!

''{Homestar runs off again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh, it goes on and on like this.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' (off-camera) Oh, crap! There's only seven minutes left of Decemberween?!

''{Homestar Runner runs back behind Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Seriously. Like until New Year's.

== Transcript ==
''{Wintery music plays as the camera zooms in on Homestar's clock; it flips from 9:59 to 10:00. Cut to Homestar Runner in bed yawning. Homestar sits up and looks out the window, and the music stops with a record needle sound.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh crap! I set the alarm for 10 PM instead of AM again!

''{While Homestar says this, cut to outside Homestar's window looking in, then back inside again.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I was supposed to go Decemberween shopping today!

''{Another record needle sound as the camera focuses on a page-a-day calendar, which reads 'Dec. 25 - "The D'Ween, Yo."'}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh crap! It's Decemberween already!

''{Homestar jumps out of bed and runs off, hitting the wall.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh crap! I ran into the door!

''{Homestar gets up and runs off again. The camera shakes to banging noises offscreen.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' (dryly) Oh crap, I fell down the stairs.

''{Cut to outside Homestar's house. A naked Homestar leaps outside and looks around.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' (sighing) And now, I ran out of the house, naked somehow.

''{Homestar looks up at the snow.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh, but it ''is'' snowing.

''{Cut back to the calendar, over which the cartoon title appears, then to a mountain view with the the title "Blah blah blah - The Brothers Chaps", then to the side of a Decemberween-decorated side of Bubs' Concession Stand and the title "Vocal Styles by Missy & Matt", then to the Strongs' living room with and the title "Here we go."}''

''{In the Strongs' living room, a toy set and present wrappings are on the floor. Strong Mad is tossing a rock with a winking face drawn on it and a ribbon up and catching it.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' I love you, Tony Stony! (holding Tony Stony in front of his face) No, I love you more!

''{The camera pans over to reveal Strong Bad playing with an extending claw toy in front of a box labelled "Grabbo Arm".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' This thing is awesome. The Grabbo Arm demands respect. (To Strong Mad) I'd like to see somebody front on this. Hey, The Cheat.

'''THE CHEAT:''' Meh?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Grab a-hold of that egg nog.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ("Okay" noise)

''{The Cheat yelps as Strong Bad extends the Grabbo Arm to grab him, wearing antlers and holding a glass of egg nog.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks, man.

''{Cut outside, to Homsar waving a paintbrush, standing next to a Salvation Army-like red pail with a sign over it reading "Baked Beans". Homestar runs by, then skids to a stop in the snow and turns around.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Listen up, shortstop. I need some presents.
