'''STRONG BAD''': ''{shouting}'' ONE TWO THREE FOUR—

''{Strong Bad starts singing hard rock with instruments in the background, and the following words appear as they are said:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' EMAIL IS AWESOME ''{"AWESOME"}'', EMAIL IS WEIRD ''{"WEiRD"}'', EMAIL IS AWESOME ''{"AWESOME"}'' AND EMAIL IS WEIRD ''{"WEiRD"}''! And I'll never forget the way it was, GRRRL ''{"grrrl"}''...uh!

''{Starts reading the email, however, the text is in the style of Tandy, and it is in fact the [[some kinda robot|very first e-mail]] he ever did.}''

<blockquote class="tandy email">Dear Strong Bad,<br />
<br />
Do you take your wrestling mask and boxing<br />
gloves off before you go to bed?<br />
<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Abdi LaRue<br />
San Diego, CA</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad stops reading at "before you go to".}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ...dajede...wait a minute! ''{hits Compy, the text fixes itself to be a new email}'' There we go!

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="email">Hey there, Strong Bad!<br />
I was wondering. How long have you<br />
known Homestar? Is there some sort of<br />
flashback that could describe how<br />
and when you guys met?<br />
Your Fan,<br />
Jon, NH</blockquote>

''{Instead of "New Hampshire," Strong Bad says "No Hamsters."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, I got flashbacks alright, Jon. I'm like, Discount Flashback Warehouse over here. But this particular flashback has way too much historical significance to be shown in anything but WIDESCREEEEEEEEEEEEN. Left side: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAH!

''{As he says this with a resonating noise, the left side of the screen expands out. The camera then cuts out to a wide shot. Strong Bad stops typing and turns to his right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Right side: WOOOOOAHH—

''{the right side of the screen starts to expand, then abruptly bounces out to its full extent, revealing Homestar.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wha-uh, what are you doin' over there?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Oh, I'm pretty much here every week. It's just that usually I'm behind the black.

'''STRONG BAD''': Guess I should start...lookin' to the right more often.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': In fact, I think I might live here.

'''STRONG BAD''': I don't think so. If you lived here, you'd have less non-broken bones. And more crushed spirits.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{leaning forward}'' Yes, sir.

'''STRONG BAD''': Frame shift left! WOOOOOAAHHH!

''{The screen starts shifting left to get Homestar out of the shot.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': See ya after the flashback!

''{We go to a picture of Strong Bad on the moon with a tennis racket. The drawing is in the style of the original children's book, though the characters have limited animation. Strong Bad narrates the story but doesn't read everything—text that he doesn't read is included in this transcript in parentheses. Also, character voices are imitated and are denoted in brackets.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{narrating}'' Strong Bad meets the Homestar Runner.

''{The page turns to a picture of just Strong Bad.}''

Everyone loves Strong Bad. He is an okay guy.

''{The page turns to a picture of Strong Bad and Coach Z playing tennis on the moon.}''

One day Strong Bad was finishing up a game of tennis on the moon with his pal, the Coach Z. He won 1,000,000 to 3. ''{Strong Bad}'' "You see, 3 is clearly a smaller number than a million," said Strong Bad. ''{Coach Z}'' "Ooooooh. Now I understand."

''{The page turns to Strong Bad and Coach Z flying down a rainbow from the moon to earth.}''

They flew on a sweet, sweet rainbow bridge back down to Free Country, USA.

''{The page turns to Coach Z holding a towel and talking to Strong Bad.}''

''{Coach Z}'' "I'ma go shower up!" said the Coach Z. ''{Strong Bad}'' "Gross!" said Strong Bad. "Shut up!"

''{The page turns to see Strong Bad walking toward a giant pink egg with yellow spots.}''

Walking home, Strong Bad came upon a big ol' egg. "Waaaaaaaaagh!"

''{The page turns to a closer view of Strong Bad and the egg.}''

"I wonder what's inside," thought tiny-handed Strong Bad.

''{The page turns to see Homestar behind the egg wearing a yellow shirt with a [[duck]] on it.}''

''{Homestar}'' "Hello! How do you like my egg, Mr. Strong Bad?" said a voice from behind. ''{Strong Bad}'' "Who the crap are you, Duckshirt?" asked No-shirt. ''{Homestar}'' "I'm The Homestar Runner!" said the duckshirt. "Some folk say I'm a terrific athlete."

''{The page turns to a closer view of the scene.}''

''{Strong Bad}'' "Well I folk say you're a terrific liar!" ''(said Strong Bad.)'' "This is plainly my egg." ''{The Prince of Town}'' "What's all the commotion about?"

''{The page zooms out, showing the Prince of Town looking at Strong Bad and Homestar.}''

...said the svelt, young Prince of Town. "And who's this weirdo in the duckie shirt?" ''{Homestar}'' "I'm The Homestar Runner! Some folk say I'm a terrific ''(athlete!" said Duckshirt.)'' ''{Strong Bad}'' "Prancibald over here says this egg belongs to him, when I found it first."

''{Zoom in to a closeup of the Prince of Town.}''

''{The Prince of Town}'' "We'll settle this with a ten-step footrace."

''{The page turns to show a crowd of characters, including Mr. Bland and Señor from the original children's book. Everyone is watching Strong Bad and Homestar at the start line of a race.}''

And so they all gathered for a ten-step footrace. The slim and trim young Prince of Town explained the rules.

''{A piece of paper shows up reading: "Ten-step Footrace Official Rules. Rule One. Whoever goes the most distance in ten steps, will be the winner! Rule Two. No biting."}''

''{The Prince of Town}'' "Whoever goes the most distance in ten steps, will be the winner!"

''{The page turns to see Strong Bad and Homestar at the line and Marzipan giving the startoff.}''

''{Marzipan}'' "Ready-and-set-and-go-now." ''{they start running, with Homestar counting}'' ''{Homestar}'' "One, two, three, four, five, six..." ''{Strong Bad takes tiny steps and is way behind}'' ''{Strong Bad}'' "Keep up the pace. Gotta break 4:40"

''{The page turns to see silhouettes of everyone, and Homestar has reached the end.}''

''{Homestar}'' "Ten!"

''{The Prince of Town}'' "And the Duckie-man is the winner. Loser gets the egg."

''{The background music plays several confused notes, then the page turns to a closeup of Homestar, with Strong Bad and the egg in the background.}''

''{Homestar}'' "WHAAAAT??!!?&,:;%${}" ''{Strong Bad}'' "Hooray a-for me!!"

''{The page turns to show Strong Mad holding the egg over his head while Strong Bad watches.}''

And so Strong Mad helped to break open the egg. ''{Strong Mad tosses the egg}''

''{Turn the page to see the egg broke and a bunch of fishsticks pour out.}''

And out poured a lifetime supply of fishsticks. And a The Cheat!!!!

''{The Cheat springs out of the egg, then the page turns to a closeup of The Cheat. Turn the page again to see Strong Bad and The Cheat with the egg in the background.}''

''{Strong Bad}'' "Awesome! My very own a The Cheat!"

''{The page turns again, showing everyone hanging out by a boombox.}''

And so, The Cheat mashed play on an extremely expensive jambox with high-speed dubbing and everybody put their weight on it! ''{The Cheat plays a remix of the [[Old Intro|original intro]] music for H*R.com, and everyone dances.}''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad sitting at the stool, talking to Homestar, who's sitting on the floor listening to the tale.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': So that's pretty much how it all went down, huh?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Oh, yes. Read me another one! Another one!

'''STRONG BAD''': Ohhhhh, very well. This one's called [[The Homestar Runner Gets Something Stuck In His Craw]]!

''{Strong Bad pulls out a children's book of the same name. Compy beeps and turns blue with the caption "Congratulations! You have answered 100 emails." and pixelated fireworks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the—whoah! Would ya look at that! 100 emails. I had no idea! I lost count around 51. Well, I suppose I should do something to celebrate... uh... ooh! I'll say email 100 times! Email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email...

''{As Strong Bad continues, [[The Paper]] comes down}''


'''STRONG BAD:''' ...email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email eMAIL-a email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email-mail-nahduhluh email email email email e-meh-meh-meh-meh-mail email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email-mail email email email email email email email EMAIL! ''{takes a big breath}'' Ooh. I'm pa— I'm parched. ''{wheezes}'' I need a glass of water.

''{A pixelated glass of water appears onscreen.}''

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===
*To "stick in one's craw" is an [[Wikipedia:Idiom|idiom]] referring to a behavior or act that one can not tolerate. It originated as a literal statement, such as a stone being stuck in the [[Wikipedia:Crop (anatomy)|craw]] of a bird; the stone is impossible to swallow, or tolerate.
*High-speed [[Wikipedia:Dubbing (music)|dubbing]] is a feature of many dual-cassette [[Wikipedia:Boombox|boomboxes]] that enables the user to copy one [[Wikipedia:Compact Cassette|cassette tape]] to another at a higher speed than normal playback speed, albeit with less accuracy.
*A "[[Wikipedia:Doppelgänger|doppelgänger]]" is commonly known as a "copy" of someone.
*The widescreen is 750×400 pixels, a perfect 1.85:1 [[Wikipedia:Aspect ratio (image)|aspect ratio]]. Normal toons are 550×400, or 1.375:1.

===Trivia===
[[Image:Homestar Sandals.jpg|thumb|Homestar with sandals and a (green) duckie shirt]]
*At 5 minutes in length, this was longest Strong Bad Email when it was released, and is the longest [[Compy 386]]-era email. It also has more Easter eggs than any other email.
*The DVD commentary for this episode reveals several interesting facts—originally, it would have been animated in the normal style, and would have told a different story, until the Brothers Chaps decided to re-write it halfway through. Originally, story elements included Strong Bad wearing a star shirt, and Marzipan attempting to do something about Homestar's awful fashion sense (his [[duckie shirt]], and also in this version, a pair of sandals). She gets him a star shirt, and Strong Bad rips his own shirt off in protest, which is why nowadays, Strong Bad almost never wears a shirt.
*The email was assigned the URL of "http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemailahundred.html," breaking the convention of the previous ninety-nine. This was done because of [[Not the 100th Email!!!]].
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#Cave Quest|Cave Quest]]".
*This is the first time a character has mentioned [[Free Country, USA]].
*Strong Bad ''actually'' says the word "email" exactly 100 times.
*This is the debut of [[live action]] in the Homestar Runner universe.
*This email and [[retirement]] are tied for the most Easter eggs in any email to date, with eight. They're second on the site total, tied with [[Halloween Fairstival]] and [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]]. The toon with the most Easter eggs is [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]] with ten.
*Old-Timey Strong Bad appearing with half a mustache was inspired by a waiter [[The Brothers Chaps]] once encountered who sported the same odd facial hair style, as revealed in the [[Flashforward Interview - 10 Feb 2006|Flashforward Interview]].
*The font used on "The Homestar Runner Gets Something Stuck in his Craw" is [[Fonts#B|Bauhaus 93]], the same font used on [[Homsar]]'s shirt.

===Remarks===
*It is debatable whether the story in the book really "happened", since Strong Bad could be [[Strong Bad Lore|making it up]]. Homestar verifies the tale, but this may just be typical, dense Homestar behavior.
*Though the style of the artwork and the voice acting for most of the characters resembled closely that of the classic Homestar cartoons, Strong Bad in the flashback, for some reason, sounds nothing like the real Strong Bad from [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]] era cartoons. Old Strong Bad's manner of speaking was very loud and dramatic (almost overacted), and he had a strong Mexican accent. Tiny Handed Strong Bad in the flashback is just the opposite, speaking in a monotonic, mumbling fashion.
*When he reads the Tandy e-mail, his accent is more like it is in the old cartoons (most notably, he pronounces "you" as "joo" a few times).
* Strong Bad walks ten steps before he even crosses the starting line.
*Strong Bad couldn't have lost count at email 51 because in [[caffeine|Email #91]] the intro is "Coming in at number 91, it's, EMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIL."
**Also, he knew that it was the 100th email because he confronted users trying to find the email before it was finished in [[Not the 100th Email!!!]]
*When the Compy said Strong Bad had answered 100 e-mails, that's not entirely true. He answered two in [[50 emails]], two more in [[2 emails]] (3 more if you count the email answered while the clip was in fast forward), and you could say he answered more than one in [[huttah!]] (although he didn't answer any in [[anything]] or [[mile]]). Depending on your definition of "answering" an email, he read extras in [[spring cleaning]] (although they were promptly deleted). In [[sisters]] he accidentally deleted one email, then responded to and accidentally saved a second. If you count by each toon being an e-mail, then he still answered in excess of 103 e-mails, since the three bonus e-mails on the DVD are presumably pre-100th. In addition, there is a "preview email" in the [[TV Time Toons Menu]] and never before seen emails in [[personal favorites]], but these could just be [[History according to Strong Bad|false history]]. So really, at the time of the hundredth e-mail, Strong Bad actually has answered more than 100 e-mails. The hundredth email was actually answered somewhere between Emails 83-94.
*If you look closely at Mary in the Limozeen Easter egg, you can see that he is wearing a [[Store Accessories#Baseball Caps|Strong Bad baseball cap]].
*The Old-Timey Strong Bad Easter egg contradicts [[That A Ghost]], in which Old-Timey Strong Bad's mustache is depicted as having a skeletal structure. The Easter egg shows it as hair.
*In the Limozeen Easter egg, Gary and Mary seem to start reacting to Larry's line "We're from the band Limozeen!" before he finishes saying it.
*At times, the legs on the left-hand side of Strong Bad's desk rest on an uncarpetted area, however in this email they are resting on carpet.
*Homestar sits down on the floor, but he does not seem to have a butt, as his legs bend up into his shirt.
**This was also seen in [[extra plug]].
*In the Easter egg, before she starts speaking, Marzipan's mouth looks like her [[Marzipan Evolution|third design's mouth]]. Once she begins talking it becomes the current style mouth again.
*The characters who didn't appear in the [[original book]] take their designs from the [[Sketchbook (museum)|museum sketch book]]; they include Marzipan, Strong Mad, Strong Sad, and Bubs.

===Goofs===
*When Strong Bad says, "Keep up the pace, gotta break 4:40", there is no period at the end of the sentence.
*When Strong Mad breaks the [[egg]], it cracks open, but nothing appears to be inside. In the next frame, "the lifetime supply of fishsticks" suddenly appears inside the egg.
*When Homestar says "Read me another one. Another one!", the outline on his head moves.
*At the very end of the email, changing the contrast on the Compy does not affect the glass of water on the screen.
*"Svelt", as it is spelled in the book, is actually spelled as "svelte".
*The bows of Senor Cardgage's glasses are missing.

===Glitches===
*When Strong Bad shifts the screen left, the carpet appears to slide to the right, moving without the stool and the table.
*When Homestar looks down in sadness (before Strong Bad shifts himself to the left to start the flashback) the lining for his head pops out of his shirt.
*In the Prince of Town Easter egg, we hear a brief blip of Homestar's Easter egg right at the end. This is due to the fact that the gotoAndStop() command is being performed later than it should be.
**Also, sometimes, you can hear several of the Easter eggs before they are played, possibly for the same reason.

===Inside References===
*The word "WEiRD" appearing at the beginning of the email is another instance of [[lowercase i's]] on the site.
*Strong Bad first uses "[[grrl]]" (seen here as grrrl) in [[i she be]]. The word is also used in the [[Teen Girl Squad|Teen Girl Squad Menu]] and [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]].
*Homestar's comment about being behind the black is a [[Fourth Wall Break]].
*Old-style Marzipan, Strong Sad, and Strong Mad are from the [[Sketchbook (museum)|concept sketches]].
*Old-style Coach Z and Bubs are from "[[Where My Hat Is At?]]."
*This marks another instance of Homestar Runner being referred to as [[Prancing|prancy]].
*Present in the flashback are [[Mr. Bland]] and [[Señor]], who haven't been seen since [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]].
*This is another example of [[mashing]].
*The [[Telebision|TV]] in the Discount Flashback Warehouse egg is from the old [[Telebision Toons Menu]].
*The two e-mails in the Discount Flashback Warehouse egg are [[different town]] and [[band names]].
*Senor Cardgage's use of the word "combolations" is a reference to the ending credits in [[japanese cartoon]].
*In the Senor Cardgage Easter egg, Strong Bad says "Man, so cool!" He previously said this in [[kind of cool]].
*In her Easter egg, Marzipan refers to her [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|answering machine feature]] on the site.
**At the time this email was released, there were 10 answering machine versions.
*Coach Z goes to "[[Showering|shower up]]."
*In the Limozeen Easter egg, the band plays ''[[Because It's Midnite]]''.
*Strong Bad pulls "The Homestar Runner gets something stuck in his craw" out of [[hammerspace]].
*The melty candy bar Senor Cardgage holds up near the end is a [[Zagnut bar]].

=== Real-World References ===
*"Put your weight on it!" was a famous line from the [[Wikipedia:Dolemite|Dolemite]] movie ''Disco Godfather.''
*The guitar Larry is holding in the Limozeen egg is the same guitar that Homestar Runner steals in [[Puppet Time]], a Hamer "Bat" spin-off of the more popular [[Wikipedia:Gibson Explorer|Gibson Explorer]] shape. The bass Perry is holding is a [[Wikipedia:Fender|Fender]] Jazz-Bass.
**It may also be a [[Wikipedia:Jackson Kelly|Jackson KE3 Kelly]] model.

===Fast Forward===
*Prancibald appears as a trading card name in [[trading cards]].
*The duckie shirt makes an appearance in [[your funeral]].
*Widescreen would later be used in [[virus]].
*The Homestar Runner Gets Something Stuck In His Craw was later told to Homestar in the toon [[The Homestar Runner Gets Something Stuck In His Craw]]

== DVD Version ==
*The Limozeen video is now in fullscreen and much higher quality.
**In addition, you can use your DVD player's angle Button while watching the Limozeen clip to change the clip's background image. There are three separate backgrounds in all.
*The email is presented letterboxed (black bars at the top and bottom) to maintain the widescreen ratio, so it may appear smaller in comparison to other cartoons on the DVD.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]])

'''MATT:''' The guitar just fell on the floor.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Ooh, I like this, uh, part. The song—

'''MATT:''' Yeah, we should make a full song of that. And I'll never forget the way it was, Mike. I thought— I wanted it to be this sort of nostalgic punk rock song, you know, 'cause, what if we decided after doing a hundred we weren't going to make anymore Strong Bad Emails? So I wanted it to kinda be like that.

'''MIKE:''' We decided to do more.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' At least twelve more as of this commen— as of the time of this commentary.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. So Abdi LaRue, uh, was our first, uh, the first email.

'''MIKE:''' Mmm, that's true.

'''MATT:''' Was he just a fan that we tal— that just emailed a lot early— in the early days?

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Yeah. Yup.

'''MATT:''' Or— he or she, we don't really know— do we know the gender of Abdi LaRue? I always assumed it was a guy.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah...?

'''MATT:''' Abdi, if you—

'''MIKE:''' I don't know any other Abdis, so—

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' It's true. So this— we— a lot— a lot of gimmicks sort of in this one, visually. Uh, the widescreen thing...

'''MIKE:''' The song at the beginning. Cave Quest there—

'''MATT:''' ''{interrupting}'' That— That—

'''MIKE:''' Home— White character.

'''MATT:''' A game Mike and I made, Cave Quest.

'''MIKE:''' On the Apple II...

'''MATT:''' C+

'''MIKE:''' C++

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Low-res graphics text interface—

'''MIKE:''' He threw a spear, at this dinosaur—

'''MATT:''' He threw a rock at one, to knock the spear out of the little dinosaur's mouth.

'''MIKE:''' Ohhh. And it showed the animation of the rock falling against the, uh— across the screen.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' So this is done in the style of the original children's book, uh, that [[Craig Zobel]], and I— myself made in 1996. Um, so these were the original— That drawing of Coach Z was done, like a couple of years later.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. I like that little, like, that little lip, the little flair on the "Z" that used to exist—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Because like— 'Cause he was originally going to have hair like that, didn't he?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah he had like—

'''MATT:''' On like some early drawings you did, where it has a little "Z" hair sort of.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' I like the way he walks, there. It looks good, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Thanks, man.

'''MATT:''' So this whole email, we got very far into this email and then completely rewrote it.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, if you watch the, um, Making of the Hundredth Email time-lapse which is on this DVD in the Bonus Features section—

'''MATT:''' Three disc set, Strong Bad Emails DVD!

'''MIKE:''' That's right. But anyway, if you watch, you can see me making graphics if you look closely of, like, Strong— of Homestar wearing sandals.

'''MATT:''' Yeah he's got the duckshirt on, but it's like regular graphics. It's—

'''MIKE:''' It's using the regular style, yeah. It's before we decided to do— and you can see, like, in the second day of the time-lapse, Matt's looking— like writing, and is pretty much rewriting the whole thing.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Um, there was lots of stuff about his duckshirt, like, originally, Marzipan gives him his star shirt.

'''MATT:''' Right. Er, we kinda overdid the origin of things.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Like, we were explaining—

'''MIKE:''' Because Strong Bad had a star shirt on, too, and he tore it off because he didn't want to wear one—

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' —because Homestar had one too—

'''MATT:''' And he had never put a shirt on since then.

'''MIKE:''' And that was why— And that was why Strong Bad never wore a shirt again.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' That's a good Marzipan mouth. ''{imitating Strong Bad}'' Augh!

'''MIKE:''' Do it, Strong Bad, do it!

'''MATT:''' Um...

'''MIKE:''' That little silhouette— The yellow silhouetted thing is a staple of the Dennis the Menace comics.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' That's right!

'''MIKE:''' Usually the third frame is the yellow silhouette.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' It's true.

'''MIKE:''' I love that.

'''MATT:''' And so in the Easter egg, the fishsticks do sort of explain why the King of Town is— is fat—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' —and got this lifestyle.

'''MIKE:''' Look at that old Bubs! Lookin' good!

'''MATT:''' That's of course, uh, on the left side is, uh, Mr. Bland—

'''MIKE:''' —doing cartwheels. Then on the right is Senor— Señor.

'''MATT:''' Señor Havin' A Little Trouble is his full name. Now Strong Mad is great. And Strong Sad too, is— got little stubs for arms. I like how this is like— Homestar's so excited. ''{Mike laughs}'' He's sat down and is like crowded around the campfire. We should make that.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. So, are we gonna do the commentary of him saying "email" a hundred times?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, we should talk over it anyway.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, what should we talk about? Maybe um...

'''MATT:''' Anything else about this email? This hundredth email? It was kind of a—

'''MIKE:''' It took three days to make—

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it was defin—

'''MIKE:''' Took a long time to make.

'''MATT:''' It's one of the longest ones. One of the biggest file size-wise.

'''MIKE:''' Um—

'''MATT:''' What did w— Oh, we had just met for the first time Jonathan Howe, the guy that programs all our games for us. We had just met him in person for the first time, and came down to visit, and then he left on... Monday morning? Or was it Sunday?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I think Monday morning.

'''MATT:''' Oh, no no, he left Sunday morning and then we started working—

'''MIKE:''' This was Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, and we put it up on Tuesday night.

'''MATT:''' But we didn't decide to make the hundredth email, we had been kind of putting it off because we knew we had to make it a big deal. And so we didn't do it until, like, uh, we decided it that day, basically, right? On that Sunday, that we were like, "Ah, let's just do it," like we were going to do some other update or do— or try and put it off, and we just decided to pull the trigger on it or we'd always be putting it off.

'''MIKE:''' There. We're done.

''{Pause}''

'''MATT:''' Lemonade Stand.

'''Page Title:''' Brundo the Decemberween Yak and the Sword of St. Olaf

==Transcript==
''{Front view of the downstairs TV, a Christmas special plays on the TV. The characters appear to be made of felt, and the trees are holiday snack cakes. We see Brundo as tears fall from his eyes.}''

'''BRUNDO:''' ''{dejected}'' Oh, I lost all my magics.

'''ELF:''' Don't you see? The magic of Decemberween is inside everyone!

''{The TV cuts to a shot of a Sheriff, with Brundo and the Elf visible in the background.}''

'''SHERIFF:''' And so they returned the sword of St. Olaf to its rightful owner, and discovered the true meaning of Decemberween. Buh-buh-buh-buh-bye, kids!

''{Sheriff exits the scene, cut to a blue screen with snowflakes on it, as "The End!" appears on the screen.}''

''{Cut to a view of [[The Couch]], with every main character (except Homsar and Bubs) sitting on or around it.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Can someone please explain again what a mystical sword has to do with Decemberween?

''{Cut to a close-up of Homestar sitting on the floor.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You heard that nasty ol' puppet! The magic of Decemberween is inside all of us!

''{Cut to Strong Bad, sitting on the couch with Strong Sad behind him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, that's not what Decemberween's all about!

'''STRONG SAD:''' And I suppose ''you're'' gonna to tell us—

''{Cut back to the view of the whole couch.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll tell you what Decemberween is all about!<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{overlapping}'' ... what Decemberween is all about.

''{Stong Bad begins singing, accompanied by music, doing hand motions as he sings.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Singing}'' It happens each Decemberween though some would say it doesn't.<br />The best thing that you've ever seen, even better than your hot cousin!

''{Music stops.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Better than Deborah?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{talking normally}'' Oh, maybe not better than Deborah. ''{slower and more sultry}'' Ooh, Deborah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I'm talking about a magic man, who defies the laws of physics.<br />He turns Decemberween into DeTHemberween!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Tell us, man, who is it?

'''STRONG BAD:''' He's the Dethemberween Thnikkaman, and he'll make your dreams come true.<br />No, there ain't no beatin' that holiday feelin', when he says "Shut up" to you.

'''THE THNIKKAMAN:''' Yeah, shut up, kid!

'''STRONG BAD:''' When the sun goes down, he creeps into town, and borrows your hedge clippers.<br />And while you're sleeping, safe and sound, he puts blank media in your slippers!

'''COACH Z:''' It was 8-Tracks in my day!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sometimes he'll cold call random kids with discount travel packages!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{talking}'' Las Vegas? For 20 dollars a night? Thanks, Dethemberween Thnikkaman!

'''THE THNIKKAMAN:''' ''{faintly and muffled}'' Yeah, shut up kid!

'''SHERIFF:''' Yes, he's the Dethemberween Thnikkaman. Flying through the night in an unmarked van. You never know what he'll bring us when you hear those high-pitched singers!

'''SINGERS:''' Here comes the Dethemberween Thnikkaman!

'''STRONG BAD:''' One, two, three!

'''ALL CHARACTERS:''' He's the Dethemberween Thnikkaman, oh, and he'll make your dreams come true! ''{Strong Mad sings only "Dethemberween", "make", "dreams", and "true".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Do-Do-La-Do-Do-Do-Doo!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Singing}'' There ain't no ceilin' on that holiday feelin',

'''ALL CHARACTERS:''' When he says "Shut up" to you!

'''THE THNIKKAMAN:''' Yeah, shut up! To one and all o' dang y'all!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh, just so we're all on the same page here, we are just talking about Bubs with a piece of paper taped to his chest, right? You guys? Bubs? Paper tape? Anybody?

''{With one final note, the words "yeah, shut up! to one and all o' dang y'all!" appear in a night sky, written in stars. The word "back" is written in cursive in the lower left corner.}''

==Easter Eggs==
*At the end, click on "dang" to play on the Homsar chimes.

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Cold calling|Cold calling]] is the practice of making sales calls to potential customers who were not expecting one.
*<math>\mbox{DVD}\pm\div\sqrt{~~}~\mbox{RW}</math> is a play on [[Wikipedia:DVD±R|DVD±RW]], a shorthand term for a DVD burner that handles both common types of recordable media.

===Trivia===
*The [[Telebision]] has been updated from its previous appearance.

===Remarks===
*The trees in the scenery of the television show are Little Debbie [http://www.littledebbie.com/products/ChristmasCakes.asp Christmas Tree Cakes].
*In the Easter egg, The Homsar chimes play G, F, E, and D from left to right, which correspond to the tonal 5, 4, 3, and 2 in the key of the toon's song. However, during the toon they play D/F—one chime plays two pitches, somehow—G, A, and B.
*The brass run played while the [[Wikipedia:Horn (instrument)|French horn]] appears on-screen is near the extreme low end of the instrument's range.
*There is a [[Wikipedia:treble clef|treble clef]] hidden in the horn's tubing.
*The Homsar chimes and the Thnikkaman singers are both instances of [[twin characters]].
*Strong Bad's description of the meaning of Decemberween here defies its meaning in [[A Decemberween Pageant]].
*This marks the first time any character has identified The Thnikkaman as Bubs. It had been a running gag since his first appearance to wonder about his true identity.
*The Dethemberween Thnikkaman's "unmarked van" is very clearly marked with his signature "tH" symbol on the side.
*Near the beginning, Strong Sad's eyes seem further apart than usual.
*When Strong Bad answers the Thnikkaman's phone call he reaches underneath his desk to answer, making one assume he keeps his phone on the floor, as Strong Bad's desk has no drawers.
*When the Dethemberween Thnikkaman is making his calls, there's a sticky note on the cubicle wall that says "locate toilet".
*The tree on Strong Bad's shirt resembles early computer renderings of a single stack from the [[Wikipedia:Towers of Hanoi|Towers of Hanoi]] puzzle.

===Goofs===
[[Image:DethemberweenShadesGoof.png|thumb|Levitating cool shades.]]
*The right bow of The Thnikkaman's [[cool shades]] is missing during one scene of this toon.

===Fixed Goofs===
*When the toon was first released, clicking on "dang" just replayed the toon from the beginning.

===Inside References===
*One of the travel advertisements is for [[Scalding Lake]].
*Strong Bad's lab coat is from [[technology]].
*The Thnikkaman's [[Baloney Sammich Truck|flying bologna van]] is actually the same van that Bubs himself used in [[Weclome Back]].
*Strong Mad is wearing the same sweater as from [[Homestar Presents: Presents]].
*At one point, The King of Town, Strong Sad, Homestar, and Coach Z all appear from behind Strong Mad, similar to how The Cheat, Homestar, Strong Mad, Bubs, and Coach Z all appear from behind Strong Bad in [[Some Stupid Turkey]].
*[[Senor Cardgage]] was previously mentioned to drive an unmarked van in [[Fan Costumes '06]].
*The Thnikkaman's pose when he is skating is the same one as Bubs' "[[Sketchbook 2007#SK-2007-01-18|Zzzzziiiiiiiip!]]" pose when he stands on one foot on the conveyor belt in [[the chair]].

'''Page Title:''' Compy 386?? Not No More.

{{dvd|strongbad_email.exe Disc Four}}

== Transcript ==

''{Both Strong Bad and the [[Compy 386]] are absent from their usual place at the desk. Silhouettes of the Compy monitor and the keyboard are evident against the slightly faded wall and table. Wind can be heard, and a tumbleweed rolls past.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' It is a time of desolation, chaos, and uncertainty. Brother pitted against brother; babies havin' babies. Then one day, from the right side of the screen,—

''{Strong Bad walks on from the right, carrying the folded-up Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —came a man.

''{He sits down at the desk and places the Lappy on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' A man with a plastic rectangle... I MEAN LAPTOP COMPUTER!

''{He unfolds the Lappy; the words "Lappy 486" appear on the screen with an accompanying note, then the Lappy's logo appears above; the screen becomes a black screen with a square bracket in the top left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now that is a classy start-up noise! ''{imitating the start-up noise}'' Dong...ding! And check out all these speculations!

''{Some music starts playing. Cut to the set of The Show, with a silhouetted Lappy on the pedestal. As Strong Bad speaks, the camera zooms in and the Lappy becomes visible.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Lappy 486 weighs in at an extremely portable forty-two pounds—

''{The words "42 POUNDS!!! (LBS.)" appear in the top right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —and features an impressive battery life—

''{The words "Several" color monitor" and "2 MB Hard Drive!" appear at the top of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —of one half of ten minutes.

''{The words "WARNING: +/- FIVE MINUTE BATTERY LIFE" appear under the first slogan.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Lappy 486—

''{"512k RAM" appears next to the battery life warning}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —by Compy.

''{The slogan "Finally, a computer for your lap!" appears at the bottom of the screen next to a Compy logo. An applause accompanies the scene. Cut back to the computer room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right! Let's see if this bad boy can check some emails.

''{He types in "strongbad_email.exe" as with the Compy.}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: made up animal</div>
Dear Strong Bad,<br />
What would you like as if you were your own made up<br />
animal<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Spud Jr.</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Come now, Spud Jr. What would Spud Sr. think of such nightmarish grammar and punctuation? And poor Spudmom. ''"What would you like as if..."'' I at least hope you're good at sports, for their sake. ''{He stops typing.}'' All right, I'm done. ''{He clears the screen and resumes typing.}'' Well Stu-Pud Jr., If I was my own made up animal I would probably like as the coolest made up animal ever made up. I would have all the cool animal options and accessories:

:Claws
:Horns
:Tusks
:Tentacles
:Power Doors
:15 Year Drivetrain Warranty
:Proboscis
:Segmented Eyes

''{Cut to the field, where Strong Bad stands with three compound eyes (see [[animal#Goofs|Goofs]]), two antlers, two tusks, a proboscis, four claws on each hand, and four tentacles. Homestar Runner is also present.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I say there, Monstrosity! Do you know the times?

''{Strong Bad attempts to respond and makes gargling sound while foaming at the mouth. Homestar steps back, looking shocked. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh. I guess I couldn't really talk with that proboscis. Not that I'd have much of an answer for "Do you know the times," anyway. Hmmm. Maybe I could be one of those deep-sea fangly fishes.

''{Cut to the sea, rendered in [[Powered by The Cheat]] style.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' You know, the kind that have Christmas lights all over them, and those custom lures hanging over their heads.

''{An anglerfish with flashing lights adorning its body and Homestar's head for a lure appears.}''

'''HOMESTAR LURE:''' Right this way, everyone! Free puppies, ginger snaps ''{a fish version of The Cheat swims past}'', Pocket PCs...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' 'Cept I'd also have an awesome back deck on me for dinner and dancing!

''{A deck appears on the fish's back. Zoom in to see a woman dancing on it with Strong Bad, with some typical Powered-by-the-Cheat techno-ish music playing.}''

'''PbTC STRONG BAD:''' Hey there, Baby Styles, do you want to watch me bench-press a lot...of weights?

'''HOMESTAR LURE:''' ''{lowers onto the deck}'' Turn it out, Strong Bad, turn it out!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, wait. ''{The Strong Bad on the deck disappears.}'' How could I enjoy the dinner and dancing if I'm already the fanglyfish?

''{Zoom out to see the full view of the "fanglyfish". Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Maybe I'm overthinking this. I should just come up with a cool name and the rest will like as itself. I would be called ''{considers}'' da huuuuuudge. ''{He pronounces each letter of huuuuuudge, as if to say "huh-duh-juh."}''

''{Cut to Da Huuuuuudge's Enclosure. A sign on the front of the enclosure reads:}''

<pre>Please, for the love of Pete,
DO NOT feed Da Huuuuuudge</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Da Huuuuuudge! ''{Pronounced as "hudge."}''

''{A large, pus-colored, gelatinous, bubbling creature with Strong Bad's face lands in the enclosure.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Eew! No. No Huuuuuudge. ''{Pronounced as "hudge" again.}''

''{Marzipan enters from the right, silhouetted, outside the enclosure.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, wow! Look at the Huuuuuudge! ''{Pronounced as "hudge" again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Um... How about...the red steckled elbermung?

''{An open book descends into the frame with a picture of a red gastropod with a pattern like Strong Bad's mask around its eyes and huge lips. The text in the book reads:}''

<pre> R is for
Red steckled elbermung</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' No no no.

''{The lips, the eyes and the tail become annotated with the word "No" each time Strong Bad says the word.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um...the pardack?

''{Some yellow lined paper descends into the frame. On it is a picture of a large blobby creature with Strong Bad's eyes, horns, duck feet, one of Strong Bad's arms and Strong Sad's leg for the other arm. Text under it reads: "el pardack."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the? ''{The pardack gains a speech bubble with the text "what the?"}'' Why do these keep coming out as nasty blob things?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Okay, okay, okay. Gotta look good for the Lappy. My made up animal ''{slight pause}'' would be called

''{Cut to Strong Badia.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Sterrance.

''{A blue creature with stick arms and legs, red hands, orange feet, angel wings, an orange tongue, buck teeth, and a pattern like Strong Bad's mask around its eyes appears. Some music starts playing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, I did it! ''{Sterrance starts dancing}'' Look at Sterrance. Aw, Sterrance! I want one! Sterrance is way cuter than that stupid ugly old washed-up The Cheat I used to have.

''{Cut back to the computer room. The Cheat is standing by Strong Bad, looking angry.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, Captain Past-His-Prime himself.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I know you heard me. And I stand by it.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{angry Cheat noises; walks away}''

''{Strong Bad turns back to the Lappy, affectionately stroking it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Don't worry about him, Lappy. That's just The Cheat. He uses ''{dismissively} new'' computers. Psssh! The Paper, come on down and meet your new brother!

''{The Paper begins to edge down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on!

''{It edges down a bit more.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's okay!

''{It edges back a bit.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, ah! Come on!

''{It edges down a bit.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Lappy's not going to bite you or tear at your perforated edges!

''{It comes down a bit more.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's it!

''{It comes all the way down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Lappy, this is The Paper. He lets me know when I've stopped being funny!

''{The Paper comes down even more so that it now reads:}''

'''HOMESTAR LURE:''' Steep prices and trees! ''{these words appear on the bottom of the screen as he says them}''

== Fun Facts ==


===Explanations===
*The Christmas lights he mentioned on the fish refer to [[Wikipedia:Bioluminescence|bioluminescence]], which is used by various deep sea creatures to attract prey, among other functions.
*The "lure" he mentioned is a feature of many different "fanglyfishes", including the [[Wikipedia:Anglerfish|anglerfish]], in which the lure gives off a small amount of light in order to attract fish in close enough to its mouth in order to eat it. Note that only ''female'' anglerfishes have lures.

===Trivia===
*This email was sent in by HRWiki member [[User:kerrek slaya|kerrek slaya]].
*The table has been re-drawn with thinner lines with no shadow along the back edge. The obvious differences can be seen with comparison to the table in "[[virus]]."
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#future wars|future wars]]".

===Remarks===
*Since the [[Wikipedia:proboscis|proboscis]] is where the monstrosity's nose should be, it shouldn't prevent him from speaking at all, but it does anyway.
*The wall behind the computer had been expertly mended, leaving no seams or cracks, and matching perfectly with the silhouetting from where Compy used to be. It is impossible to tell where the shot entered the wall after destroying Compy in [[virus]].
*Despite its supposed portability, the Lappy is plugged into the same socket that both [[Tandy 400|Tandy]] and Compy used to occupy—which is good, since well over 75% of its battery life would have been exhausted during the email. However, we never see Strong Bad plug in the Lappy. The Lappy was plugged in after Strong Bad cut away from the speculations back to the [[Computer Room|computer room]].
*Strong Bad refers to [[The Paper]] as a male. (In the email [[invisibility]], the [[Tandy 400]] says that the ''printer'' is a female.)
**Similarly, at the end of this email, Strong Bad refers to the Lappy 486 as the Paper's brother, but refers to it as female in later emails.
*Strong Bad's mention of "Christmas lights" is one of the few references to Christmas on the site, since [[Free Country, USA]] celebrates [[Decemberween]].
*Although Strong Bad usually only types what he is saying when his computer is visible, his voiceover for Sterrance's appearance is visible on the Lappy at the end of the email.
*The background "disco music" (used when Strong Bad is dancing on the back deck of the fanglyfish and in the dance club Easter egg) sounds similar to "Papa's Got a Brand New Pigbag" by Pigbag.
*In the opening of the e-mail, when you see the silhouettes of the Compy and the keyboard, you can see the shadow of a connecting cable from the keyboard to the Compy, even though there was never a visible cord that plugged in the keyboard.
*In the Powered by The Cheat sequence with the fangly fish, The Cheat fish swims between the fangly fish and the christmas lights.

===Goofs===
*In the scene with Sterrance in Strong Badia, the [[Stop Sign]] and [[Cinder Block]] are on the ''left'' side of Strong Badia.
*The first animal Strong Bad makes up has antlers, not horns.
*On the list of Strong Bad's animal options and accessories is "Segmented Eyes." The proper terminology for the multi-faceted eye found on many insects is "[[Wikipedia:Compound eye|Compound Eye]]." On the [[strongbad_email.exe]] [[#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] admit this goof and say that they found out about it by reading it "on [[Main Page|the wiki]]."
*In the [[The Show]] Easter egg, there is no back deck on the fangly fish.

===Inside References===
*The Lappy was mentioned in the commentary on the DVD for the email [[invisibility]] when the Tandy was replaced by the Compy.
*Strong Bad's pronunciation of "lure" when envisioning the fangly fish comes from [[lures & jigs]].
*The fact that horns is the second accessory listed for the Monstrosity is a reference to [[3 Wishes]], when Strong Bad says his second wish would be horns.
*When Homestar greets Strong Bad's first animal, he says "I say there, Monstrosity," just as he does in the [[The King of Town DVD]] when asking about the sheep. (i.e. "I say there, fair Blacksmith, ...)
*[[Style|"Baby styles" and "Styles Upon Styles."]]

===Real-World References===
*The new email client bears a strong resemblance to a Unix/Linux email client, [http://www.sfsu.edu/~helpdesk/docs/using/upine.htm PINE].
*The Lappy's classic startup noise sounds somewhat like the startup tone on the older Macintoshes. The sound was created on the Brothers Chaps' Casio keyboard, using the "Funny" preset. The first note is the lowest C, the second note a C one octave higher.

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

'''MIKE:''' So here we have the unveiling of Strong Bad's new computer after it was destroyed in the last episode.

'''MATT:''' Mike, what is a tumbleweed doing in Strong Bad's computer office?

'''MIKE:''' I can't— I can't even imagine.

'''MATT:''' Look, "Future Wars." Is that symbolic because this is the future of Strong Bad Emails?

'''MIKE:''' It's definitely symbolic. I thought about that for a long time.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' You didn't just think of some old game we used to have?

'''MIKE:''' No! Was that a game?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, Future Wars? By Del— Delphine ''{pronounces it, "Del-feen"}''? Delphine ''{pronounces it, "Del-fine"}''?

'''MIKE:''' I was just kidding.

'''MATT:''' Oh. And a classy logo, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Thanks.

'''MATT:''' —I might add.

'''MIKE:''' That comes to, um—

'''MATT:''' —Life.

'''MIKE:''' Comes to life, with the yellow wig on.

'''MATT:''' ''{as [[Lappy 486#Female Lappy 486|Female Lappy 486]]}'' Strong Bad! Don't—! Stave it off! It's best time!

'''MIKE:''' So this is, of course, the background from "[[the show]]" email.

'''MATT:''' Yes.

'''MIKE:''' The game show background that I like so much.

'''MATT:''' Looks like it might be a prize that you win when you appear on the show.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Yes.

'''MATT:''' Uh, I think that was very heavily inspired by when, uh, Kevin on ''Starcade'' is announcing the prizes on ''Starcade'', ''{Mike laughs}'' and so, I was like— What's that game? There was one that was a controller that they always did.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, I—

'''MATT:''' I can't remember.

'''MIKE:''' A kind of joystick.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' A spud is, uh, is another word for a potato.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, they probably know that already.

'''MIKE:''' Who's "they"?

'''MATT:''' Those watching— the viewers.

'''MIKE:''' I bet— I bet at least one person watching this didn't know that a spud was also a potato.

'''MATT:''' Well, that's probably a four-year-old—

'''MIKE:''' There you go, buddy. I just taught you something. Pay me later. Oh, we messed up here, like, he says "segmented eyes," but he actually has compound eyes.

'''MATT:''' Ohhh.

'''MIKE:''' Read that on the wiki.

'''MATT:''' Good job.

'''MIKE:''' Goofs.

'''MATT:''' Goofs. That's a total goof. Strong Bad messed up, Mike. ''We'' knew our stuff.

'''MIKE:''' That's true. We did that on purpose.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. What is "segmented eyes" like?

'''MIKE:''' I dunno.

'''MATT:''' Is that a made-up thing?

'''MIKE:''' Maybe.

'''MATT:''' I remember originally—

'''MIKE:''' "Segmented bodies."

'''MATT:''' The line said, "segmented eyes" and "segmented butt," but we cut out "segmented butt."

'''MIKE:''' That's too risqué. Too risky.

'''MATT:''' Uh, so, look! The Cheat, out of nowhere! Look! There's ''my'' voice! There's the Cheat-whale.

'''MIKE:''' It must feel a little weir—

'''MATT:''' That Cheat-whale looks kinda like the Jaguar shark from ''The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou''.

'''MIKE:''' It does.

'''MATT:''' This was before that.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Before that.

'''MATT:''' Yes, see? We're suing Wes Anderson as we speak. ''{Mike laughs}'' Litigation Jackson is on the case. ''{Mike laughs}'' ''{Pause}'' Um... I think Powered by The Cheat-style thing should assist in Strong Bad Emails more often.

'''MIKE:''' Alright, let's do that for next week's email.

'''MATT:''' All— All— Calling all Powered by The Cheats. ''{Mike laughs}'' Sorry. That thing is gross, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' It is.

'''MATT:''' Look, it's like, look at the ground around it. It's greasing out everywhere.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' It's really gross. That thing's ''as'' gross—

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' —if not grosser.

'''MIKE:''' He's happy, though.

'''MATT:''' —or more gross. And that thing has a Strong Sad leg coming out of it, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, his mouth is kinda like, um, Neo's mouth in, uh, ''The Matrix'' when it closes up, and it becomes like...

'''MATT:''' Ohhh, GUI? ''{pronounced "gooey"}''

'''MIKE:''' GUI. GUI mouth.

'''MATT:''' Graphic user interface mouth?

'''MIKE:''' Look at little Sterrance!

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Oh, Sterrance!

'''MIKE:''' He appears on the cover of this very DVD on the back!

'''MATT:''' Um, will we ever see him again?

'''MIKE:''' I dunno. Very possibly not.

'''MATT:''' I remember, uh, some people thinking we were gonna ditch The Cheat after this email, that Sterrance was going to—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. They really thought that Sterrance was gonna be the new sidekick for Strong Bad.

'''MATT:''' He is pretty harsh to him. That'd be a sad way for The Cheat to go out. The Cheat ain't goin' out like that. Over the years, The Paper definitely has become more and more of a—

'''MIKE:''' A character.

'''MATT:''' It should have been on [[Everybody Everybody Poster|that big characters poster]] we made, I think.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. It definitely has a personality.
