== Easter Eggs ==
* If you don't get a perfect score on the quiz, you can move the mouse over the name plate, microphone and "diploma" in Strong Bad's office and Strong Bad will say different things.
** Name plate:
**: '''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, keep your greasy fingers off that.
** Microphone:
**: '''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, don't touch that!
** Diploma:
**: '''STRONG BAD:''' Pretty impressive, huh? I bet you're pretty impressed.

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Spirit duplicator|Ditto machines]] were once popular in schools for making copies, and these machines typically used purple ink. Copies made in a ditto machine also had a very strong, distinctive smell, which explains the page title.

===Trivia===
*If you right click and zoom in on Strong Bad's paper on his desk at the end, you can read what it says. It reads:
<blockquote>
''Strong Bad isn't so strong after all. If he tried hard, which of the following could he lift?'' 
 
'' '''a.''' an ounce'' '' '''c.''' a week'' 
'' '''b.''' a weak'' '' '''d.''' pepper''
</blockquote>
*This is the first appearance of [[cinnamon]].
*This is the first time an [[index card]] has appeared.

===Remarks===
*The sign on Strong Bad's desk is misspelled as "Prinicpal Strong Bad". This "mistake" appears again in [[CGNU]] and [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]], and has apparently been accepted as the spelling for Strong Bad's title.
*Both "Why Must You Suck So Bad?" and "The Only Thing Wrong With You Is Everything" do not appear on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], but only one is considered correct, because this quiz is referring to the [[Strong Bad Sings]] toon.
*If you get a perfect score, Strong Bad jogs the papers on the desk wearing his boxing gloves as normal. His hands move down behind the desk, and seconds later, without moving, he is seen wearing oven mitts.

===Goofs===
*[[Cinnamon]] is spelled incorrectly as "cinammon" on the recipe card.
*Manufactured is spelled incorrectly as "maufactured" on question number 8.

===Glitches===
*If you really are Strong Bad's kind of person, there's a glitch in the quiz that will allow you to cheat. Simply hold the mouse button down on an answer and it'll tell you if it's right or wrong. Keep holding the mouse button and move your mouse away from the answers before you let go. It won't count it as an answer, so you can pick again. The red X or check mark that appears will remain, however.
*Very rarely, even if you don't get a perfect score, Strong Bad will stop in the middle of his line and start saying the "perfect score line".

===Inside References===
*The name [[Crazy Go Nuts University]] is a reference to the line "Things were just about to start getting [[Crazy Go Nuts|crazy-go-nuts]]" from [[The Luau]].
*The phrase "Dansk! What's that staunch?" is used in the song "[[Poot-Slap]]".
*The [[oven mitts]] Strong Bad wears when offering the cookies are the same he wore in the [[In Search of the Yello Dello]].
*Strong Bad's voice going high at the end of his song may be a reference to when he does the same thing in his song "How Awesome I Am" in [[Strong Bad Sings]].
*On the paper below all of the question papers, the words "had", "than", and part of "problems" are visible. This is most likely a reference to [[Coach Z]] saying he has "more than 2 problems" in the [[Who Said What Now?]].
**If you view the source, then the following text is viewable, which when put in a proper order does imply this fun fact:
<pre>
If Homestar drank 18 glasses of melonade, if coach z really had bkbkbkbkbkkbmore than
hjhjhjhjhj b problems, hjhkhjkhjkhs does he have?</pre>
*"You-know-what" is another, rarely used name for [[whatsit]].

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Clu Clu Land|Clu Clu Land]] and [[Wikipedia:Seicross|Seicross]] are [[Nintendo|NES]] games.
*[[Wikipedia:Garfield|Garfield]] is a comic strip. It bears similarity to the Heathcliff series.
*[[Pikachu]] is a character in the [[Wikipedia:Pokémon|Pokémon]] series.
*[[Wikipedia:Heathcliff (comic strip)|Heathcliff]] is a comic strip.
*[[Wikipedia:List of Garfield characters#Nermal|Nermal]] is a character in the Garfield series who teases Garfield about his age, appearance and size.

:'''STRONG BAD:''' It's a showdown going downtown
:You're gonna mess around showdown
:Put your nose down showdown

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*In filmic terms, scholars [[Wikipedia:David Bordwell|David Bordwell]] and Kristin Thompson define a [[Wikipedia:Montage (film)|montage]] sequence as "a segment of film which summarizes a topic or compresses a passage of time into brief symbolic or typical images." Also, montage sequences generally represent a longer passage of time than the also-typical "dissolve" or "fade" techniques between shots.

===Trivia===
*This is the earliest email confirmed to be sent by an HRWiki user: [[User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage]].
*In the original version of this email, the background was static while Strong Bad and the wagon were spinning around. It has since been fixed to blurred trees and The Stick.
*This email introduces an updated, more symmetrical version of the gray "horns" on Strong Bad's mask.

===Remarks===
*Homestar gets less money for a shirt than he gets for a half-eaten breakfast burrito in [[HR:auction.html|"Some Type of Online Auction"]].
*Strong Bad probably changed Steve's name to Watered Down to prevent another "[[Eh! Steve!]]" crack, like he did in [[kids' book]] and [[different town]].
*The scoreboard in the gym has the word "TIMES" written under the timer.
*While Strong Bad is mocking Steve about his poor spelling, he arguably makes a grammar error himself: he ends his sentence with a period instead of a question mark. ("Why don't you creat an alternate reality where you don't have to spell correctly and I talk like this'''.'''") Rhetorical questions, however, do not necessarily need question marks.

===Goofs===
*As The Cheat keeps getting doors slammed in his face as a salesman, the last place he visits with the blue wall and white door, the door frame ends before the bottom of the toon's frame, and the right end of the door ends before the right of the frame.
*Just after Strong Bad clicks his stopwatch, the landscape shifts slightly and the piles of pancakes change in height and location. This occurs because the jpeg image used for the screen transition didn't exactly match the previous frame.

===Inside References===
*The scene with Strong Bad and the Wagon Fulla Pancakes sitting in the canoe is reminiscent of [[lures & jigs]], where Strong Bad and Coach Z fish in the exact same spot. This is probably prompted by the [[lures & jigs]] DVD Commentary, in which [[The Brothers Chaps]] decide to reuse the lake, and which was presumably recorded before this email came out. In this email, TBC also reused [[Marshmallow's Last Stand (place)|Marshmallow's Last Stand]], the [[Quite Fancy 'Chup|ketchup]] and fries from [[funny]], the [[The Halloween House|house]] from [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]], and [[The Movie Theater]] from [[A Jorb Well Done]].
*The song Strong Bad sings when he falls in love with the wagon is reminiscent of the style of [[The Kinda Long-Haired Band]].
*The [[Taranchula]] album cover is the same one from the liner notes of [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], on which their song [[Moving Very Slowly]] appears. The name "Taranchula" also appears in the e-mail [[band names]].
*The first and last house that The Cheat and the Wagon Fulla Pancakes stop at are the same house. They are also the same format of the house that you give treats from in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]].
*Besides the [[The Cheat's Smoking Challenge|smoking game]] and [[big white face]], this is the first actual cartoon in which we see [[Smoking#The Cheat's Smoking|The Cheat smoking]]. Strong Bad originally acknowledged The Cheat's nicotine habit in [[Where's The Cheat?]]
*The sparkling water seen while Strong Bad is running on the horizon seems to be the same from [[Main Page 3]].
*The lyric "Lifting weights and feeling all right", from the song played during the training montage, may be a reference to [[dangeresque 3]]'s "Riding in a Corvette and feeling all right" lyric.
*"The #1" T-Shirt is loosely referenced by Strong Sad in the commentary of [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD|In Search Of The Yello Dello]].
**Though the shirt Strong Sad refers to says "''I'm'' #1" according to him, as opposed to "''The'' #1."
*Strong Bad has a problem identifying things that rhyme with "agon" in song. In this email, he mistakes a wagon for a girl, and in [[dragon]] he mistakes a dragon for a man, or maybe a dragon man. He catches the mistake both times.
*The buzzer used for the scoreboard is the same as the [[DELETED]] buzzer.
*The score of -1 is the first instance of an [[Scoreboard#Irregular Scores|irregular score]].
*During all scenes with Strong Bad in love with the Wagon Fulla Pancakes, Strong Bad [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]].
*This is another toon with [[Homestar Runner Left Behind]] in the Easter egg.

===Real-World References===
*The song Homestar is singing in the Easter egg ("You're the Best") comes from the 1984 classic ''[[Wikipedia:The Karate Kid|The Karate Kid]]''. Homestar's headband, bearing the design of an old Japanese flag, is also a reference to this film, and has appeared before in both [[pom pom]] and [[Theme Song Video]].
**There is actually a song called "Training Montage" from Rocky IV by Vince DiCola.
*Much of the wagon's training sequence (especially the wagon "running" up the stairs) is a parody of the training sequence from the immortal boxing epic, ''[[Wikipedia:Rocky (series)|Rocky]]'', including the "[[Wikipedia:Rocky Steps|Rocky steps]]".
*The Strong Bad Easter egg is a take on the popular [[Nintendo|NES]] game ''[[Wikipedia:Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!|Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!]]'', in which players saw a similar sequence in between bouts of various boxing circuits (the jumps from Minor to Major, and from Major to World).
**The ''Punch-Out!!'' sequence itself was a clear reference to the training sequence in ''[[Wikipedia:Rocky (series)|Rocky]]''.
*There actually is a system call in the [[Wikipedia:Unix|Unix]] operating system called <tt>creat</tt>. It creat(e)s a new file.
*The "some guy from a zoo" line by Strong Bad during the "Late-Night Talk Show"-style intro is most likely a reference to how such shows often resort to the gimmick of having zoo workers appear on the show, accompanied by their animal partners, whose mischievous antics can often get a cheap laugh from the audience.
*The line about Strong Bad's show being canceled before the commercial break may be a reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Turn-On|Turn-On]]'', which was pre-empted by many affiliates a mere 10 minutes into its pilot episode.
*The End Credits Photo Montage song is reminiscent of the ''[[Wikipedia:Queen (band)|Queen]]'' song "Headlong."
*''[[Wikipedia:Animal Planet|Animal Planet]]'' is a TV network devoted to programs about animals and nature.
* The "Where are they now" photos and text at the end of the email are a likely reference to the ending of the 1973 film [[Wikipedia:American Graffiti|American Graffiti]], where it was first used, or the 1978 movie [[Wikipedia:National Lampoon's Animal House|National Lampoon's Animal House]].

===Fast Forward===
[[Image:The Paper---Shreder'd + montage.PNG|thumb|220px|right|'Twas foretold]]
*The Wagon Fulla Pancakes really ''does'' do some spots for a used car dealership, as it shows up in a commercial for [[Senor Cardgage]]'s in [[Senorial Day]].
*Strong Bad and his pink suit from the Easter egg show up again in [[rock opera]].
*Homestar's "weekend" song plays at [[The King of Town]]'s party of [[boring (really)]].
*The [[Showdown]] song plays while Pom Pom and Homestar work out in [[Strongest Man in the World]], and during the montage of Strong Bad digging a hole in Marzipan's front yard in [[Homestar Ruiner]].
*The Paper does indeed stick around until email #173 ([[the paper]]), at which time Strong Bad actually does upgrade to an [[New Paper|inkjet printer]]. This change was also foreshadowed in email #172 ([[more armies]]) when The Paper comes down torn and sickly-looking. Strong Bad remarks that "that's a bad sign".

*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

'''MATT:''' And holding a briefcase somehow.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' And now they're enjoying a highball.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I didn't know that The Cheat smoked!

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' He's got a problem.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I didn't know that—

'''MIKE:''' ''{whispering}'' There's your boyfriend.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar had that— that's ''my'' shirt.

'''MATT:''' That's yours? Uh oh, 'cause he sells it later on in this email, so—

'''MARZIPAN:''' That was mine! I was wondering what happened to it.

'''MATT:''' He got a good deal for it, at least.

'''MARZIPAN:''' What'd he get?

'''MATT:''' Uh, I'm not sure. Probably, like, 17 dollars.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I'll tell him he needs to split the proceeds.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' He should. Sounds like it should ''all'' go to you; it was ''your'' shirt.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' A nice sunset.

'''MARZIPAN:''' It's okay.

''{Pause}''

'''MATT:''' Ohhh, Homestar looks like Daniel LaRusso—

'''MIKE:''' His Karate's a joke. "You think you can rely on that crane crap?"

'''MARZIPAN:''' He's actually trained in Tae Kwon Do.

'''MATT:''' Really? Homestar is?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Wow.

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's probably why he didn't do well with the Karate.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing}'' Oh ho! He learned the wrong martial art.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Right.

'''MATT:''' What do you think of this, um, end of the— end of the movie photo montage?

'''MARZIPAN:''' I think it's okay.

'''MATT:''' See, look. Oh! He— no, sorry, I lied. He got it for three bucks. Not 17.

'''MIKE:''' You got a buck-fifty comin' to ya.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I— Animal Planet's my favorite program.

'''MATT:''' Hey, isn't "cancelled" spelled wrong there?

'''MIKE:''' Was it?

'''MATT:''' I think "cancelled" only has one L. Let's change that before we put out this DVD.

'''MIKE:''' We can— ''{Pause}'' Oh, it's not over yet.

'''MATT:''' Oh, it's not, Marzipan.

'''MIKE:''' You might think it's over, but it's not.

'''MATT:''' Say something!

'''MIKE:''' Now it's over.

===Fun Facts===
*Daniel LaRusso is the name of the main character from ''[[Wikipedia:The Karate Kid|The Karate Kid]]''.
*"Cancelled" appears on both the website and DVD. Though both are correct ways of spelling, "canceled" is generally a more American way of spelling it.
*Unlike her prior DVD commentary appearances in emails 1-100, Marzipan has largely dropped the premise that homestarrunner.com is a show and not "real" life.
*"Can't Say Job" is the name of the HTML and Flash files for [[A Jorb Well Done]].
*[[Wikipedia:Tae Kwon Do|Tae Kwon Do]] (literally ''hand and foot art'') is a Korean form of martial arts.

:Please see [[Help:Image]]. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 14:49, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

::The image I tried to upload was bigger than the size recommended. Is there any way to make it smaller? —[[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]] 11:26 2 May 2006

:::You can resize the image in a program such as [[Wikipedia:Adobe Photoshop|Photoshop]], and/or use the size attribute when coding the image: <code><nowiki>[[Image:Image.png|150px]]</nowiki></code>. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 15:36, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

::::Was that the image you were going for, or would you like some help with it? I could remove the extra white from the image if you'd like, as well as stretch it to a usual looking ratio. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 16:48, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I would like the extra white to be removed. Thanks. —[[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]] 21:22 2 May 2006

That was the image I was going for. —[[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]]
*And I would like to be stretched to a usual looking ratio. —[[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]]

Guys, I don't know how to stretch the image to a usual looking ratio or remove the extra white myself. Can someone please answer this. —[[User:2Fast2Furious]] 20:46 4 May 2006

:I'm sorry, I totally forgot about this conversation. I'll get right on it. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 00:49, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

::That's the best I can do without access to the original image. What program did you use to save that file? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 00:53, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

I went the Adobe program and trimmed the image. Then, I copied it onto Microsoft Paint. It still exceeded the size recommended for the wiki, so I had to shrink it some more. —[[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]] 7:28 5 May 2005

Bubs and Coach Z run each other off course in a fiery catastrophe. Homestar and Pom Pom fight each other to the end, but Marzipan zips by them at the end in some kinda vegetable powered somethin-er-other.
The Brothers Strong end up dead last, but Strong Bad is convinced he held the family together.

==Fun Facts==
*The title features [["Er" pronounced as "Oi"]].
*The King of Town is excited to [[Eating Non-Food Items|eat some soap]]. Homestar likewise eats some thumbtacks.
*Coach Z refers to Bubs as [[Wikipedia:Mario Andretti|Bubsio Andretti]].
*The King of Town riding in a wheel of [[cheese]] downhill is based on a [[Wikipedia:Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake|real event held every year in Gloucester, UK]].
*Homestar's comment, "looks only count in [[horse]] shows and [[ham]] parades," is similar to the expression "close only counts in [[Wikipedia:horseshoes|horseshoes]] and [[Wikipedia:hand grenade|hand grenades]]".

==First Draft==
the lights are out in the email room. the light flicks on and strong bad enters. 
sb sits down and turns on the lappy. the dong-ding coughs somehow. 

'''sb:''' can computers cough?

'''Heavy:''' NO!

<div style="border:1px solid gray; padding: 8px; width: 50em">Dear STRONG BAD!!!

If you could be a kitchen appliance what would it be? and why? waiting in anticipation. 
Victoria AUS</div>
(both homestar and strong bad begin reading) 
"dear strong bad if you could be..." 
'''sb:''' homestar stop. just wait. 
(sb begins reading again, as does homestar albeit in a higher voice) 
"dear strong bad, if you could..." 

'''sb:''' stoopface! look, i'll tell ya what. we'll alternate words. dear... 
'''hs:''' dear...i mean STRONG! 
'''sb:''' BAD! 
this continues. homestar reads "victoria" then sb says, 
'''sb:''' from Abu Dabu combo. well, victoria, who hasn't spent romantic nights in front of 
the fireplace, gazing into that special someone's eyes, talking about what kitchen appliance they 
would be? i had (small cough) girlfriend in (small cough) college that used to want to be a panini press, in fact that was her name I think. Good ol', hot ol' Panini Press. but i always saw myself as a 200 cc food processor called the Over 9 Thousand! i'd look as much like me as a food processor possibly could. (it shows the food processor) which apparently 
isn't very much. i'd have four my-mouth colored buttons labelled puree, frappe, crushe, and offe. rotten mashed potatoes would curly-cue themselves at the very sight of me! i could julienne a phonebook into a metal can. and turn whatsit into gold!

cut to the kot eating something. he spits takes.

'''KOT:''' EXCUSE ME?!

A graphic comes up that says "That's Right!"

'''SB:''' That's right! You get the Oh-bliterator, the cleaning kit, and the interesting branch all for only 20 low payments of 4 easy installments!

'''Heavy:''' It costs 400 thousand dollars.

(the objects appear as he says them)

'''hs:''' oh, i'd be a fork! a taped up fork! a brown taped up fork! we'd live right next to each other on 
Mother Goose's countertop! we would alternate words while reciting clever rhymes that help 
kids remember to do their chores.

it shows them on a counter top in the kitchen appliance forms.

'''HS and SB''' (alternating): Make your bed, or you'll be dead, by morning.

'''Ganon:''' DIE!

A green plastic bag sealer bounces onscreen and repeats, higher:

'''CZ:''' by morning!!

Cut to Marzipan

'''marzipan:''' excuse me!

now we see strong bad, homestar, and coach z crammed on the kitchen counter in various ways.

'''sb:''' oh, hey marzipan, we was just uh, looking 
'''hs:''' out 
'''sb:''' from 
'''hs:''' within 
'''cz:''' ourselves?!

'''marzy:'''(sarcastically) i really don't know why you guys don't have girlfriends.

'''marzy:''' you heard me.

'''hs:''' I'd be a fork! a taped up fork! a brown taped-up fork!
