Behind the set of a main page. Nearly everything is flipped around, since we're seeing it from the back, and ink marks where all the buttons are.

'''Cast (In order of appearance):''' {{Film|Homestar Runner}}, {{Film|Coach Z}}, {{Film|Strong Bad}}, {{Film|The Cheat}}, [[Homestar Runner]], {{Film|Strong Sad}}

'''Icon:''' Piece of wood

'''Page title:''' "Backstage Pass!"

'''Date:''' September 19, 2005

*'''Toons''' — Coach Z pops up with a [[Clapperboard|clapperboard]] and says, "Main Page number 23, take one, action!" Homestar delays saying "Toons" until after he's gone.
*'''Games''' — A piece of wood wiggles loose and falls off of the set, striking Homestar on the head. Homestar replies with "Oof!" It reappears where it was after a few seconds.
*'''Characters''' — On the first mouse-over, Strong Bad jumps up and says "Oh, check me out, it's the front of my head!" while facing away from the user. On the second mouse-over, Strong Bad jumps up and says "Oh, check me out, it's the back of my head!" while facing toward the user.
*'''Downloads''' — The Cheat falls in front of Homestar, facing him and the user, and afterwards makes a couple The Cheat noises and walks off.
*'''Store''' — Another Homestar walks in front of Homestar and says, "'Sup, man?" Homestar replies, "'Sup?" 
*'''E-mail''' — A piece of wood, presumably painted with Strong Sad's head on the opposite side, floats across the screen with the words "[[Wear a Bikini!]]" written on the back of it. From off screen Strong Sad holds up [[Strong Sad's Tape Player|his tape player]] into view and presses "Play," causing it to say (in Strong Sad's voice) "I'm the floating head of dooooom!"

==Fun Facts==
===Remarks===
* The parts of the buttons for toons, games, and characters that are sticking out aren't clickable.
* Coach Z says "action" while still holding up the clapperboard; he's still in the shot when Homestar delivers his line.
* The support behind Homestar's head would be visible from the front, but doesn't show up on any of the other main pages.
* The reversed joke was only taken so far. As such, the Weeklies buttons are not truly flipped. It should go in this order, left to right: [[Random Toon]], [[Sketchbook]], [[Weekly Fanstuff]], then [[Quote of the Week]].
* Likewise, the numerical order of the home pages is not reversed, just right-justified.
**This is the only Main Page to refer to them as the compound word "homepages" instead of "home pages."

===Goofs===
* Although the part of the characters button where the "s" would be is partly sticking out, the characters button on other main pages are not sticking out at all.
* Homestar is standing in front of the set and the piece of wood that falls is behind it, so it should drop behind him, not hit him on the head.


===Glitches===
* If you hold down the tab button on this menu, several hidden items become highlighted. You cannot click on them with your mouse, but you can select them by pressing enter.
** To the left of the visible recent updates button is another recent updated button.
** There is yet another recent updates button where the recent updates button normally is.
** There is another [[First Time Here?]] button on the left side located where the First Time Here? button normally is ''relative to'' the recent updates button.
** There is yet another First Time Here? button off the right edge of where it normally is.

'''Strong Bad Email #82'''

"Your Friend" asks Strong Bad to do his best impression of Strong Sad. Strong Bad goes to the [[Strong Sad Lookalike Contest]].

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Jhonka]] (Easter egg), [[Coach Z]], [[Bubs]] (offscreen), [[Strong Sad]], [[The King of Town]] (offscreen), [[Homestar Runner]], [[Homsar]], [[The Cheat]]

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[The Field]], [[Brothers' Strong Living Room]] (Easter egg)

'''Computer:''' [[Compy 386]]

'''Date:''' August 25, 2003

'''Running Time:''' 3:13

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Email: It's like the sugar on the candy for my stuff.

''{reading email}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
 
Could you please do your impression 
of Strong Sad? 
 
Thanks, 
Your friend</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...and there's no name. Um... Thanks, Your friend... Jhonka. ''{He types "Jhonka" under "Your Friend", then starts typing his reply.}'' No way, Jhonka! What a coincidence! I was just on my way out the door to go to the annual Strong Sad Lookalike Contest where contestants are judged on appearance, impression and penmanship. I'm a shoo-in this year, man. Wait'll you see my costume! ''{Runs offscreen, but runs back a few seconds later to say:}'' Not beatin' around the bush this week.

''{Strong Bad runs off again. Cut to The Field. Coach Z is standing under a sign that reads: "2003 Sectional Finals — STRONG SAD LOOKALIKE CONTEST".}''

'''COACH Z:''' Okay, I'd like to welcome everybody back! Hope you enjoyed your intermission there. Bubs, the hot cold cuts was great!

'''BUBS:''' ''{off screen}'' Those were moist towelettes!

'''COACH Z:''' So without further ado ''{pronounced 'adieu'}'', I'd like to introduce the man of the hour, the deathly pallor: Strong Sad!!

''{Strong Sad joins Coach Z under the sign}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{off screen}'' Booo!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Thank you! Thank you! I'm simultaneously honored and insulted to be involved in this contest for the fourth year in a row.

'''COACH Z:''' That's enough there, Strong Sad! ''{He shoves Strong Sad out of the way.}'' Your work is done here. Let's get this pratty started!!

''{Cut to a view of Strong Bad in a Strong Sad costume, which consists of a grey "Phys Ed" sweatshirt, a white beret, and a paper plate with Strong Sad's face drawn on it. There's a suspicious looking lump under the sweatshirt.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Lookin' good there, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know.

'''COACH Z:''' Nice use of light and shadow.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know.

'''COACH Z:''' ...and picnic supplies.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know. Shut up.

'''COACH Z:''' Let's hear what you got.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right. Let me just push play on my "sweat shirt" here.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{on a tape}'' Why do you want me to say "Hello, my name is Strong Sad"? ''{He fast-forwards the tape}'' Get that tape-recorder out of my face ''{more fast-forwarding}'' Stop flickin' my ear!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{also on tape}'' More like: You stop flickin' ''my ear''!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{He stops the tape.}'' Ha ha. Oops.

'''COACH Z:''' Ok, then. Very unsuspicious.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know.

''{Coach Z moves on to Homestar Runner. Homestar is wearing hippo slippers and a grey shirt with a star on it, and he has a sock taped to his head instead of his signature hat.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, there, Homestar. Nice hippo slippers.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks. They're elephants.

'''COACH Z:''' Sure they are! Now let's hear your impression.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um.. Remind me again what type stuff that guy says.

'''COACH Z:''' You know. Depressing-type stuff!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Right, right! Here goes! Ahem. ''{in a depressing voice}'' Oh... Some animal died. ''{In his normal voice}'' That's something he's always saying, right?

'''COACH Z:''' Yeah, I think I heard him say that a few times. Next contestant!

''{The next contestant appears to be Strong Sad.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Strong Sad, you're not eligible for this contest! I thought I told youse to go on home!

''{A familiar-looking hat pops up on the Strong Sad lookalike's head revealing that he is, in fact, Homsar. His Strong Sad costume is flawless. Coach Z doesn't realize who it is.}''

'''HOMSAR''': ''{sadly}'' AaAaAaAa... I'm cryin' on the inside!

''{The Cheat hops up in a paper bag, painted to look like Strong Sad's left leg.}''

'''COACH Z:''' OK, The Chort, lay it on me!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{in a depressing voice}'' Meh meh. Menemah mennah mennah meh.

'''COACH Z:''' Holy crap! It's as if Strong Sad was still alive and with us today! First Prize!

'''THE CHEAT:''' Meh! ''{Jumps up out of the bag, then lands back inside bag}''

''{Cut to Strong Bad's computer. Strong Bad walks up muttering. He's still in costume.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Stupid friggin' Cheat-in-a-Bag. ''{typing}'' I can't believe The Cheat won sectionals for the 4th year in a row dressed up as Strong Sad's left leg. I knew I should have gone for the bigger butt. ''{stops typing}'' Oh well. ''{resumes typing}'' At least I won the penmanship award. But I should get going if I'm still going to be fashionably late to the afterparty. ''{stops typing.}'' So, until next time, all the ladies and dudes say: ''{singing}'' "Strong Bad is a cool guy! And we're not cool in the least!"

''{Strong Bad leaves and [[The Paper]] descends.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on "Jhonka" to see just what a Jhonka is. (Once again, we are shown that Strong Bad likes trolls.)
<pre>JHONKA

The Jhonka are one of many
tribes of primitive, troll-like
creatures found in the lowlands
and throughout lesser dungeons.

Their low intelligence makes
them quite susceptible to toilet
humor and cheap gags such as
"Gimme five. Up high. Down
low. Too slow."

FREQUENCY: Common
INTELLIGENCE: Low
ARMOR CLASS: +2</pre>
*Click on "Bigger Butt" to see Strong Bad's alternative plans for his costume.
*Click on "Penmanship Award" to see Strong Bad's entry for the Strong Sad penmanship contest.
*Click on "afterparty" to see what happened at the afterparty.
=== Easter Egg Transcript ===
''{Homestar and Coach Z are standing in a room filled with a balloons. Homestar is dressed in his Strong Sad costume, "[[Poot Slap]]" is playing in the background, and Coach Z is holding a Not So Cold One.}''

'''COACH Z:''' I meant to tell you the sock on the head was a nice touch.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I have a sock on my head? {''Shaking back and forth''} Get it off, get it off, get it off, get it off, get it off, get it off, {''stops shaking''} get it off, get it off!

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*The "not beating around the bush" comment refers to Strong Bad's normal way of not really answering an email's question.
*Pallor means paleness.

===Remarks===
*Strong Sad on the tape tells Strong Bad to stop flicking his ear, but Strong Sad doesn't have visible ears.
**Strong Bad also would have a hard time flicking something with boxing gloves for hands.
*The Cheat's costume has three toenails, whereas Strong Sad's [[Soolnds|soolnds]] only have two toenails each.
*In this email, Strong Bad shows excellent touch-typing skills as he finishes the email with a paper plate mask taped to his face. However, he seems to later lose this ability. In [[pom pom]], Strong Bad is unable to type while blindfolded.

===Goofs===
*When Strong Bad comes back to the computer after the contest, still wearing his costume, his hat is incorrectly mirrored in the screen's reflection.
*The form for the penmanship contest says 2004 Sectional Finals, however, the sign for the contest said 2003.

===Inside References===
*At the after party Coach Z is drinking a "[[Cold One|Not So Cold One]]," from [[property of ones]].
*Strong Bad's comeback "More like, YOU stop flicking MY ear," is very similar to his comeback in [[50 emails]].

===Real-World References===
*The picture of Jhonka is reminiscent of the various humanoid creatures in [[Wikipedia:Dungeons & Dragons|Dungeons and Dragons]].
**In previous versions of Dungeons and Dragons, an armor class of +2 would be a decent defence rating. However, in the current incarnation of Dungeons and Dragons it would make the creature very easy to hit in combat.
*In the bigger butt Easter egg, Strong Bad drew the [[Wikipedia:Kangol|Kangol]] kangaroo above his cap. Kangol is a British clothier famous for this kind of hat.

===Fast Forward===
*The Jhonka plays a prominent role in [[Peasant's Quest]].
*Homestar also uses, "Oh... Some animal died" in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 9.2]].
*[[The Deathly Pallor]] will later become the name of Strong Sad's radio persona in [[radio]].

== DVD Version ==
*All of the Easter eggs in this email are viewable using the angle button on your DVD remote.

HRWiki:Recent changes patrol

Someone — Tue, 20 Sep 2005 23:09:40 GMT

Someone: /* Members */

Ever noticed a little red exclamation point next to an edit listed on the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] page? Did you know you can remove those exclamation points by patrolling edits? The idea is that having a group of people patrolling edits should reduce spam and vandalism.

To mark an '''edit''' as patrolled, click the "diff" link next to an unpatrolled edit, survey the edit to be sure it isn't spam or vandalism, then click the "Mark as patrolled" link near the top right of the page.

It's a different process to mark a '''new page''' patrolled. Since there is no "diff" link, you instead click on the article name. The link to patrol says, "Mark this article as patrolled", and it appears at the bottom right corner of the article.

If you'd like to help out in the effort of patrolling recent changes, put your name on the list below. Adding your name to the list constitutes a commitment of time to patrolling. This page will serve as a hub for patrollers to get in contact with one another. Feel free to list any questionable edits at the bottom of this page to call them to the attention of other patrollers. For an example of how this page might serve our community, see the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:RC patrol|Recent changes patrol]] on Wikipedia.

==STUFFed Fun Facts==
=== Forward Referencing #2 (REJECTED) ===
The one thing Strong Bad described would happen on the island that was not illustrated was salting his foot.. which didn't take place until [[interview]].

*I would have to say '''Decline''' to both of those. [[The_Brothers_Chaps|TBC]] probably have just been reusing cool ideas. Not any relation to future.
**Second that.
**'''Second''' --[[User:PolarBoy|PolarBoy]] 09:49, 11 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' I doubt that Strong Bad salting his foot was in anyway foreshadowing another e-mail. Especially if we don't know if they had recieved the interview e-mail at that point.
**'''Second''' Plus both of these are already on the pages for the japanese cartoon and island emails
**'''Second''', but you guys need to sign your votes or they don't count. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 12:06, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
**'''Second''' --[[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 11:13, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

*'''Accept.''' Why not? --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 13:24, 14 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Accept.''' Seems perfectly reasonable to me. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*'''The Cline.''' This has nothing to do with it. Putting salt on his leg was just a reference to "I'd rather gnaw my own leg off.". [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 05:40, 12 Apr 2005 (MDT)

=== Forward referencing # 1 (ACCEPTED) ===

Homestar called Strong Bad [[Stinkoman]]. This is the name Strong Bad will use for his [[20X6]] counterpart in [[japanese cartoon]].

*'''Decline''' Its not the first time a character was created based on a throwaway gag (Homsar for instance).
*'''Accept''', since it's a fairly interesting point.
*'''Accept''' This has been confirmed by TBC as the original source of the name "Stinkoman". I think this is significant enough to note here as well as in "japanese cartoon". - [[User:tim333|tim333]]
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 31 Mar 2005
*'''Modify, accept.''' Say that this is the first instance of the name Stinkoman. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**Second. -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]]
**'''Second''' [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 12:03, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
**'''Second''' - GOOD example of forward referencing. Much unlike that "Eh! Steve" one at the top of the page. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 19:34, 13 Feb 2005 (MST)
**The One '''Second... ''TO RULE THEM ALL!!!''''' [[User:ComputerBox|Tom H]] 21:41, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline''' Fairly obvious and already noted on the Stinkoman page. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
**'''Comment.''' I don't see any problem with two pages cross-referencing each other. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 31 Mar 2005

These were on the [[HRWiki:STUFF|STUFF]] page and declined. If you wish to contest these, leave a note here, but don't allow it to be confused with any of the original votes.

===Mahir Cagri reference (Declined)===
Strong Bad's closing remark that the writer of the email may be big in Pakistan tomorrow might be a reference to Mahir Cagri; a Turkish citizen whose personal website was the number one personal website of 2001.
*'''Decline.''' Seems like a stretch to me. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 05:21, 24 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' Maybe, but theres not enough evidence. It could just be a variation on "big in France" or "big in Japan" style jokes. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]

Someone:

Recently, I heard on an internet radio (radio KoL, from the website www.kingdomofloathing.com) a song called "Strong Bad vs Rammstein: The System is Du" that was taken off of this email. I don't know if this is a real song, or something an anonymous band put together, so I'm putting it here for input. -[[User:flatluigi|flatluigi]] 14:26, 10 Dec 2004 (MST)

RKOL sighting confirmed: it's in the Google cache for the KoL radio front page. Full song title is "Strong Bad vs Ramstein - The System is Du (DJ Defekt mix)" The name of the radio show (and it assumedly includes deejay handles) was "EyeSpeculum & duckyfresh's Assault on All That's Decent" -Anonymoz 17:04, 08 Aug 2005

== Removal of external link ==

* A DJ named "[http://www.djchrisle.com/ DJ Chris Le]" created a rave remix of Strong Bad's techno song which can be downloaded at his site.
I removed this from the fun fact listing. We don't like to link to people like that in articles. (Meaning, we pretty much don't link to anyone like that in articles.)[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 17:59, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

== Closed STUFF ==
===Silent J===
Strong Bad might have said "Oh very clever" after reading the name Silent J because it could be a reference to Jay and Silent Bob, a pair of recurring characters from [[Wikipedia:Kevin Smith|Kevin Smith's]] movies. It also may be clever because it's referring to the concept of a silent letter (for example, one would say "the word 'jalapeno' has a silent J"), and making reference to Silent Bob at the same time.

*'''Decline.''' I think the Silent Bob connection is a real stretch. The silent letter connection is much more reasonable. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 25 Mar 2005
*'''Revise.''' Funny, I think it's the other way around. It never occurred to me that "Silent J" would be anything but a play on "Jay and Silent Bob," but maybe that's my pop-culture-saturated brain. [[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora Szalinski]] 10:01, 25 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second''' The latter part doesn't work but the Silent Bob connection does. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 13:42, 25 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second''' The 'Jay and Silent Bob' part is right on. The 'Jalepeño' part is wrong.[[User:Theving|Theving]]
**'''Comment.''' My brain is pretty saturated with pop-culture, too! However, it's from a time when Disco ruled and dinosaurs walked the earth! -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 25 Mar 2005
**'''Second''' Jalepeño is the stretch; Silent Bob is the obviously correct one. And I haven't even watched J&SB! --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:52, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Comment''' I had thought he meant the fact that "Silent J" would mean he shouldn't actually say anything at all, so he was sort of duped, and he was mockingly calling him clever. I don't know. [[User:Nevrmore|Nevrmore]] 22:48, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)
** Ummm...no.Thats more of a stretch than the "jalepeno" part of the fact. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
** I think this is what is meant as well. After reading an e-mail, Strong Bad almost always starts his response with "Well, [insert name]", or "......, eh [insert name]?" Since the writer is calling himself Silent J, Strong Bad is at a loss to use his name in his reply.--[[User:rsl12|rsl12]] 21:38, 31 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Comment''' FWIW, "jalapeño" does not in fact have a silent J. The j is pronounced like an h, but it's certainly not silent. - [[User:Alun Clewe|Alun Clewe]] 09:25, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Revise''' - but the only revision this needs is to remove the uncertainty, because it's clearly a reference to Jay and Silent Bob.
*'''Second''' - I immediately thought of Jay and Silent Bob. -[[User: Miss Free Country USA| Miss Free Country USA]]
*'''Accept''' - I think the person who posted this fact was right. Whenever I see the name Silent J, it makes me think of Jay and Silent Bob, and I think TBC were also thinking of that. -[[User: Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]]
*it is a reference to Jay and Silent Bob.

These were on the [[STUFF]] page and declined. If you wish to contest the removal of any of these, post a comment here (make sure it won't be confused with any of the original votes).

=== At Homestarrunner dot net (Declined) ===

This email implies that Homestar Runner has an email address, which we have no reason to believe because he is always using Strong Bad's computer.

* '''Decline''' I do not like this fact, but I don't feel right simply deleting it. Your call, people? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 20:33, 2 Feb 2005 (MST)
* '''Accept''' - Dingell
* '''Accept, maybe revise''' It IS Homestar's website after all...so of course there would be an email address for him. Also, we haven't seen in Homestar's house as extensively as Strong Bad's. So he may have a computer... It just seems that he likes to fiddle with Strong Bad's computer anytime he sees it. I actually think the more interesting fun fact here is that Homestar can SPELL! →[[User:jake-a-roonie|jake-a-roonie]] 06:22, 07 Feb 2005 (CST)
** But if that's true, then the fact doesn't need to be revised - it needs to be rewritten or thrown out! (Yes, there's a difference between revision and rewriting.) The fact implies that Homestar SHOULDN'T have an e-mail address, while you very clearly stated that he should. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 13:28, 7 Feb 2005 (MST)
* '''Decline''' Since we're dealing with "implications" and "reasons to believe", I don't find this to be in any way factual. The first part alone would suffice, albeit with a decent rewrite, but the second part is unnecessary. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 22:21, 8 Feb 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' He's not "always" using Strong Bad's computer; he's only used it once or twice. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Alun Clewe|Alun Clewe]] 16:09, 1 Mar 2005 (MST)

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, sorta, Aaron. But see, there's only one power. Though I guess it is pretty super. Check it out.

''{He turns to his left an picks up a Cold One. He tenses up in concentration, and his blue diamond starts glowing, causing the bottle cap to pop off.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So, there you go. It's not much, but as you can imagine it's a big hit with the ladies. So far I've only found it works with Cold Ones. But come to think of it...

''{Cut to the locker room. Coach Z and Homestar are talking to each other.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, I definitely say it's just a result of tight pants.

''{Strong Bad peeks out from behind a locker.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooooh, tight pants.

''{Strong Bad uses the blue diamond on his forehead to make Homestar's cap pop off.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh!

''{Homestar picks his cap up and looks back at Coach Z.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Sorry about that. What were we talking about?

'''COACH Z:''' The tightest of pants.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, right, right. Tight pants.

''{Strong Bad uses his blue diamond to make Homestar's cap pop off again.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What the...?

''{Strong Bad snickers as Homestar picks his cap up again.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Are you okay there, Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I don't know. Is my head getting bigger?

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. Strong Bad makes Homestar's cap pop off for the third time, causing Homestar to once again have to retrieve it.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Once again, I point the blame squarely at tight pants.

'''Strong Bad Email #12'''

Strong Bad gets a scam email trying to trick him into giving out his credit card information. So he edits it and forwards it to Homestar.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Homestar Runner]] (voice over)

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]]

'''Computer:''' [[Tandy 400]]

'''Date:''' February 4, 2002

'''Running Time:''' 1:17

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' Initiate email check in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

<blockquote class="tandy email">Dear Mr. Bad 
 
We regret to inform you that your credit card 
has expired. To keep your account, we will need 
you to send your old credit card number and 
expiration date, as well as a new one so we can 
make the change. We promise we are real and 
not just trying to steal your money. 
 
John, and some other people 
who aren't scam artists</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, this sounds pretty serious. I know just what to do. Just a little of this... ''{He changes "Mr. Bad" to "Homestar Runner"}'' Ooh, maybe a dash of that... ''{He changes the signature to "Superfied Credit Union". He then types "forward message", forwarding it to Homestar Runner.}''

''{Fade to black. The text "5 minutes later" is typed in, then after a pause, backspaced out. Fade back in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, let's see what we got here...

''{Strong Bad begins reading, and almost immediately the audio fades from Strong Bad's voice into a voice-over by Homestar.}''

<blockquote class="tandy email">Dear Superfied Credit Union, 
You've got the same e-mail address as my 
friend Strong Bad! Anyway, here's my 
credit card information: 
 
5675 116 116 1352 
 
Exp. 13/02</blockquote>

''{The number and date are not read aloud.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{laughing}'' That was too easy, man. Well, it looks like Homestar is about to make a little contribution to the Lots of Awesome Stuff for Strong Bad Fund. ''{He types in "internet" and goes to the-coolest-stuff-ever.com, a website that has a lot of very expensive stuff. He clicks on the "purchase" button for "spaceship".}'' Gimme one of these... ''{clicks on "killer robot" twice}'' A couple of these... ''{"rocket launcher"}'' Oh, everybody needs one of these... ''{"robot dog/shark"}'' Oh, ''this'' thing, I gotta have that...

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

== Fun Facts ==
===Remarks===
*Homestar's credit card expired in the thirteenth month of 2002.
*This email shows a mouse cursor on the Tandy 400, which clearly doesn't have a mouse.
*Strong Bad only needs to hit backspace on his keyboard a few times to delete two whole lines of text.
*Even though Strong Bad only typed "forward message," the email still made its way to Homestar's inbox.
*There is a [http://www.the-coolest-stuff-ever.com website] based on this email.
*The total cost, minus shipping and handling if any, of Strong Bad's on-screen purchases is $3,013,500,000 [[Wikipedia:USD|USD]].

===Goofs===
*You are still able to click the Tandy 400's contrast buttons while the "5 minutes later" screen is on.

===Inside References===
*The first four numbers in Homestar's credit card number can be used to access the pack of [[Homsar]] quotes from "[[Downloads]]."

Talk:boring (really)

Someone: Worst Email Ever

==Good Boring or Bad Boring?==
Oh my god, I can't believe I just watched that. How can I get back the four minutes of my life I lost? Why TBC WHY?

Intensely boring shark-jumping action!!! I liked those fireworks.

:It was SUPPOSED to be boring. All the "interesting" characters were acting dull as heck, while the more "boring" characters are hyped up on caffeine or throwing wild parties. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 02:01, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

==Space Ghost Homage?==
I know this would be horribly shot down if I tried to put it in Fun Facts, but given that TBC likely watch Adult Swim, I can't help feeling that this email was a Space Ghost Coast to Coast homage. Watch an ep like "Fire Ant" to see what I mean (10 minutes of Space Ghost crawling across a landscape muttering inane threats!). <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 04:21, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I don't think so, in Space Ghost it just has him walking around on his knees for ten minutes, here Strong Bad does stuff, but said stuff is pretty dull. [[User:The Pardack|The Pardack]]

:It was more the tone of the email that reminded me of SG -- long awkward pauses with nonsensical comments, and then all of a sudden something crazy happens... <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 16:50, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

==Format Problem?==
and this should probably be working... It appears that the first apostrophe isn't being processed as part of a command... [[User:Crystallina|Crystallina]] 02:04, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:Dont know what's happening with that.. now it shows up as the italicized text is showing up bold and vice versa.. - [[User:EMJS|EMJS]]

==Loved It!==
I LOVED this email!!--[[User:That crazy DumDe!|That crazy DumDe!]]

I gotta say, Matt did some AWESOME voice work here, Mike's animation was completely, boringly awesome, and the background music was some of the greatest yet! The humor was over the top and Homestar closing his eyes make me fall off my chair laughing! --[[User:Homeschool Winner|Homeschool Winner]] 02:48, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Bubs' speech ==

He said "I remember learning math in school" .. I put my speaker at full volume .. It's math - [[User:EMJS|EMJS]]
: I had mine at full volume too and I'm certain it's "that". "Math" doesn't really fit the context quite as well anyway. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 02:56, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
: Listened to it a few more times (speaker at full volume as well) and it was unmistakably "that"; clear consonants and everything. [[User:Crystallina|Crystallina]] 02:57, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
: Listened to it a few more times and must apologize for me thinking so .. it is just that Bubs' voice is so .. "unclear" let's just say .. that it is hard to tell between the two when he is the speaker. - [[User:EMJS|EMJS]]

== Niels Bohr ==
Since I changed the entry to say who the picture was for, I figured I'd put my justification here. The picture is addressed to "S2," and it seems reasonable to interpret S-squared as Strong Sad.--[[User:Big Dog|Big Dog]] 03:12, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
: Plus, Strong Sad is the one who's a fan of him. [[User:Crystallina|Crystallina]] 06:04, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::Yeah, "S squared" is the same as "S multiplied by S" which would be written as "SS" for Strong Sad --[[User:Nosmorking|No Smorking]] 11:58, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:::Algebra aside, and speaking of [http://www.answers.com/topic/string-computer-science#wp-Formal_theory mathematical strings], S² is a common abbreviation for SS {{User:phlip/sig}} 13:09, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

==Possible Inside Reference==
Bub's "Be's" was last heard from Stong Bad in [[the bet]] ("Let's see you be's cool"). Was there any other occasion?

:The toons-menu description of ''Homestar vs. Little Girl 2'' says, "Little Girl be's cute." That's why I don't think this is a reference. It is just a word the Brothers Chaps throw out now and then. --[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 11:53, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

==Wowowowhat?==

I'm rather convinced that Strong Bad says "What?" at the same time that Homestar says "Wow," but this doesn't seem to be a universal view. Opinions? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:00, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

They both say Wow. I'm 100% certain.

Not sure, myself. Listened again and I can't quite tell, but I'm leaning towards "Wow" simply because it doesn't make much sense for Strong Bad to say "What?" when he just finished talking with Bubs about that very subject. [[User:Crystallina|Crystallina]] 06:05, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
: It is kinda hard to discern, I'll admit. However, I can VERY clearly hear that SB's intonation rises (as though he's asking a question) as Homestar's falls. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:13, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm almost positive I hear "Wow" here instead of "What". Strong Bad has kind of a strange way of saying it, but it's one I hear very often in his voice (it's usually "Whoa" or "Ohh", however). His intonation rises, but falls at the very end. It doesn't sound like a question to me. Also, I don't hear a hard "t" sound, and I think that would be pretty noticeable after checking it a few times. The entire word doesn't seem to have any hard sounds. Lastly, check out his mouth; it starts out with a rounded "o" shape then opens up into its normal rectangle shape. I think "Wow" fits that far better than "What" does. Now that I see both sides of the argument though, it's hard to be sure. Some more opinions would be nice. - [[User:71.113.43.208|71.113.43.208]] 09:36, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure SB says "Woah" and then HR says "Wow". {{User:phlip/sig}} 09:54, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It is definitely definitely definitely not "what". SB's intonation rises as homestar's falls yes, but if you try to block out homestar's and listen JUST to SB's inotation, you'll notice it falls again after the rise, which is EXACTLY how someone says "woah" or "wow", with a rise then a fall. Can we please PLEASE not leave "what" there? It looks like no one but Jay is advocating it being what, so why is his opinion trumping everyone else's? It's so very obviously not what. maybe it's woah maybe it's wow, but for god's sake let it be changed! Either of those is better than what. Woah or Wow are both probably correct, they're essentially the same word, but it isn't what!

Nothing? No one cares that anyone who changes the "what" gets reverted despite, from what I see, no one else thinking that's what it is? sigh.

:Eh, I hear "what" too. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 05:55, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It's got to be "wow". Like Anonny said up there, it's the word that fits the movements of his mouth best. Or possibly "whoa", but definitely ''not'' "what". — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:37, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:Good point. He does have a round mouth while saying the line, so it probably ''isn't'' what. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 17:42, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:: He has a round mouth when he says "what" earlier in ''that very scene'' (In "What are you... um... doing?") But I listened more closely, and I think I'm starting to agree with "whoa" - but it's definitely definitely definitely not "wow", to quote Anonny up there. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:51, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Sudden stop? ==

This toon stops most of the way through (when Strong Bad is listing three letter words and types "cod, for, her") for me, can anyone help? I've tried everything. Refresh, Hard Refresh, Cache clearing, saving the .SWF...can anyone help me? -[[User:Homestar Runnar]]

Elaborate. I think it's MEANT to do that...

== Auugh! ==

What the- I don't usually send e-mails but this week I sent in ten a DAY and none of mine ever get picked! Whaddaya need, 100 a day? Poofy

:Probably more. TBC get thousands a day and only a tiny fraction are ever read at all. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 14:26, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, they get about 3,000 a day, (although a ton are from websites in which people signed up and didn't want to submit their own email addresses so they use Strong Bad's) so it's pretty **** hard! Some time during the summer I'm gonna write 100 emails a day (It should take less than an hour each day) for 10 days and send in 1,000 on the same day. It's very obnoxious of me, but I would love myself if my email got in. -- [[User:Homeschool Winner|Homeschool Winner]] 02:53, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== I see vs. Eye see ==

We need to reach a consensus. Does Homestar say, "More like... ''Eye'' see," or, "More like... ''I'' see"? I think the joke here is that he says ''I'' see because he can't close his eyes. --[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 11:51, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:I agree. It's the issue of Homestar seeing as opposed to Strong Bad, so there's emphasis on Homestar, and seeing as "I" represents Homestar, emphasis on "I" instead of "eye" makes sense. [[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]] 12:14, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:Agreed - that's how I saw the joke as well. [[User:Crystallina|Crystallina]] 16:38, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:no, wrong! the joke is that Homestar is saying the word "eye". This may also be a reference to a previous halloween cartoon, where Homestar claims the noise that eyes make is "seeee... seee...." You see the character of Homestar says stupid things a lot. You should consult his character page for more information. It's eye, not I.

Footnote time. We don't want to look stupid. I'd say it's obviously "I", though. TBC don't go in for those kind of cheap puns...

I think we should leave it as is, by the way. The same thing was done in "for kids" with SB saying "I'LL KILL ALL OF YOUR DOGS/DOLLS!" and it looks fine.

I think the footnote DOES make us look stupid. How does "eye" fit into that context at all? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 15:51, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The whole "Eye" thing needs to go. It doesn't make any sense and is really stupid. -- '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]'''''

''Eye'' agree ... I mean ''I'' agree ... it's ''I'' see. Get rid of the footnotes! -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 16:07, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Doing ==
Strong Bad saying "What are you...uh...doing" keeps getting inserted as an inside reference to [[car]], but since it keeps getting reverted, it apparently is not. Just mentioning this "worthless non-fact" to prevent further mistakes from being made by folks who don't page back through the history. [[User:221.218.44.253|221.218.44.253]] 16:28, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:Indeed. The doing/doyng car reference is currently in [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts|STUFF]]. Please do not add it as a reference at this time. --[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 17:19, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Easter Egg Goof? ==

I added this fun fact, which was later removed by [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]]:
*On the King Of Town easter egg, you see a free-floating hand holding a mug of beer or soda, that is not connected to any character on the screen.

The response was "it belongs to the blonde behind KOT".

To me, it looks like a goof. It doesn't appear that the hand is connected to an arm or any person. Even homestar, even though he's armless, doesn't have a hand when he's holding something. Not a big deal...just looked like a legit goof to me. What does anyone else think about this? --[[User:Duke33|Duke33]] 16:47, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Just looked at it again. Sure looked like the mug, hand, wrist, & forearm belong to the Blonde Pom Pom Girl. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:00, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, it has an arm. The arm is really skinny, so you might have thought it was a finger or something. --[[User:Nosmorking|No Smorking]] 18:11, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Ok - I looked again, and this time increased the resolution, and I can see that I was in fact wrong...although you gotta admit that it's kinda weird looking. --[[User:Duke33|Duke33]] 16:36, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, since when were Pom Pom's girlfriends anatomically correct? -- [[User:Homeschool Winner|Homeschool Winner]] 02:55, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== I WAS WAITING FOR THIS??? ==

OMG! I waited weeks for this! And look what came out! It was BAAAAD! But I did like the hyped up Strong Sad and the party easter egg. -Kinsey
:Is this page the place for comments like this? (I'm actually wondering.) I thought the talk pages were for discussing the ongoing development of the articles, not for chit chat. It seems like the [http://forum.hrwiki.org forum] would be a better venue for remarks like these. Am I right or wrong? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:04, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::Right. The forum was set up to get rid of general comments on the wiki. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 16:44, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Bugs? ==
When Strong Bad says "Well, take care, Bubs", it sounds to me like he says "Bugs" instead of "Bubs". Is this just my imagination or what?--[[User:4.244.45.46|4.244.45.46]] 01:16, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I heard that too. I just wasn't sure. That's why ''I'' didn't add it to the page. --[[User:Technochocolate|Technochocolate]] 05:31, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:Sorry, but you're imagining things. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:06, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Three Letter What?! ==
Can we link [[Wikipedia:List of three-letter English words|this list]] somewhere in the fun-facts? I think it would be interesting [[User:E.L. Cool|E.L. Cool]] 16:04, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:Sure, why not? It's only a link, not changing any text. ''{adds link}'' Oh, and look, there's "yok" in the list after all. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:10, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::Forgive me--evidently this has been discussed already, but I can't find the discussion--what in the world ''is'' "yok?" I googled it and got a Sydney-based graffiti artist(s?), a Japanes quasi-punk band, a software company with two titles, both for mac, and the Turkish Council of Higher Education. Were TBC referencing any of these? — [[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]]
:::Actually, "yok" is in the list of [[Wikipedia:List_of_three-letter_English_words#Y|3-letter English words]]. In fact, all the words except "sbu" are in that list. The word "yok" is a variant of "yuk", as in "to laugh, yuk yuk yuk", not "ooh, yuck, that's gross". — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:14, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
They even mention this e-mail with reference to job/jorb.--[[User:12.222.78.0|12.222.78.0]] 20:51, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)
Sorry; forgot to log in.--[[User:homestar3.14|homestar3.14]] 20:52, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== SNAP! ==

I dunno what happened, but when I saw Bubs' back after Strong Bad left, it seemed like a gap in the frames.

:Yeah, it looks a bit weird, but given the shot of "real" with the closeup of SB's mouth, I think it's intentional. It's in the transcript now. {{User:phlip/sig}} 20:49, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:This email had a couple of things in its flash video that I feel are uncharacteristic of TBC: the use of the default flash object zoom, for example, that doesn't quite zoom accurately, making objects appear to move laterally while zooming in - Bubs' back, for example. Perhaps that's intentional, but it looked different as well as being somewhat unique among the SBemails. --[[User:Southpaw018|Southpaw018]]|[[User talk:Southpaw018|talk]] 21:53, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:: As somebody who uses Flash on a regular basis, I can say that the way certain objects appear to move laterally when zooming is, in this cartoon at least, intentional and not a symptom of Flash's crappy zoom. I imagine TBC probably made objects such as SB's computer stool move at a different rate to the background to make the whole scene seem less flat.
Actually, I think that was an intentional skip, because it went along with the beat of the boring tune. --[[User:TaranchulaVamp15|TaranchulaVamp15]]

== Whoa! ==
Do we really need to differentiate between "Wow" and "Whoa"?
:Well, Anonny, according to the above thread, several people think it's one or the other, but aren't necessarily sure which. I myself think it ''sounds'' like "whoa", but his mouth movements suggest "wow" more. Hence, the footnote. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:18, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::It just seems weird. Phonetically they're about one sound apart, and neither of them have any meaning other than to suggest surprise...
:It's not so much to differentiate between them, rather that if it's not there, people will constantly edit it one way or the other, and the edit history will be flooded people changing it from wow to woah and vice versa. {{User:phlip/sig}} 22:56, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
What about an only-visible-on-edit note?
:I don't think that's good enough. First of all, the note is to readers, not editors. There will come a time when this page isn't edited that much. Second, like I said, most people are sure it's one or the other, but even after repeated examinations, they can't decide between the two. As long as there's that uncertainty, a footnote is appropriate. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:44, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Personally I really thought Strong Bad said "What?"

== Tejas ==

Well I changed Tejas to Tehas before, now I see it's back to Tejas with a link to history of Tejas, but I think the whole point was missed.

If I'm reading that line, or even reading the page it links too, and I don't know J is pronounced like H in spanish, it sounds to me like this site is saying the word is pronounced Teh-Jas, with a hard english J. If you want to leave the J there, please at least have it mentioned somewhere that it's pronounced like an H.

And I still don't think changing it to Tejas signifies the H sound any more than Texas does. Ever heard how they pronounce "Mexico" in spanish? Meh-hee-ko. X can sound like an H too. If the purpose of the Tejas line is to communicate that it's pronounced like an H, it doesn't communicate that at all. Please either make it Tehas or put somewhere that the J is pronounced like an H for the sake of accuracy. [[User:216.203.251.141|216.203.251.141]]

Alright, no one cares to respond. I just noticed it was It's dot com who changed it to Tejas. And insisted no less.

Why? Is it just because I'm not part of this group that any change I try to make gets reverted? Whose blessing do I need to get to be able to fix minor snafoos I see without having to make a big thing about it every time? How is Tejas better than Tehas in that sentence >_< Alright, If for some reason someone NEEDS to see Tejas there, even though it doesn't represent what's actually pronounced, I'll attempt a compromise. If someone else can word what I'm adding better, fine, but don't do it just cause you want it worded YOUR way please, do it because there's an actual better way to do it. And if it's just plain reverted altogether this time without at least someone letting me know why here, I'm done trying to contribute, it's just power abuse and it'll happen every time I try to improve something. [[User:216.203.250.80|216.203.250.80]]

:hey man, I understand what you want to do, and why you think it would be an improvement, but I completely disagree with you. I like it the way it is because it is properly spelled and completely accurate. You are suggesting that they purposefully misspell a word because of the way it is pronounced. That would just be backwards. When SB says "Tejas", he isn't speaking English, he's speaking Spanish, and therefore, proper Spanish spelling should be used.
:If SB were to speak French and say "oui", would you suggest that they spell it "whee"? [[User:Nueve|-nueve-]]

::Nueve makes some excellent points.<div style="text-indent:2em">I'm sorry for not getting back to you sooner, Anonymous.

Man, going to work can really cut into your online wiki time, can't it?</div><div style="text-indent:2em">The reason "Tejas" is superior to "Tehas" is that "Tejas" is an actual word, and Strong Bad is saying that word.

The transcript is supposed to document the toon, but it doesn't have to spell out every little mundane detail. And it's not like "Tejas" is unheard-of in English-language contexts.

== Easter Egg Transcript ==

I dunno about you, but it doesn't really sound like they're singing along to the song, and more like they're laughing at some kind of joke:
*Pom Pom's girls are OBVIOUSLY laughing, though I can't say as there's ever been a time when they said much else.
*Pom Pom's bubbling ''kinda'' sounds like laughing (like, say, how he laughed in [[A Jorb Well Done]]), and the way his head bobs up and down kinda implies it too, but since it's just bubbling and not actual words it could go either way.
*Homsar's just being Homsar.
*The KoT, though, and what I think REALLY gives it away, says (from what I make of it): "Yes, ooh, that's mighty funny!" It doesn't sound much like the lyrics to the song at all (where in the clip does Homestar make an "ooo" sound?), and, if that's what WAS going on (a joke, hence why the KoT says it's "mighty funny"), it probably WOULD elicit the responses above, and it would probably make more sense.
Thus I think we should probably rewrite that mini-transcript there. Thoughts? --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 03:25, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:I agree that they're not singing along... I thought at first that the KoT's was saying "''{something}'' and I'm partying" or something, but listening now it doesn't sound like that... it could be "''{something}'' and I'm funny", but it doesn't sound like "mighty" to me. But the transcript probably should be changed. {{User:phlip/sig}} 05:39, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

: I hear "party" from from the KoT. Which fits singing along with the song. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:10, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::I can see why, but the rest of it really doesn't match up (the only parts that sound like "party" would be the two at the end; "Yes, ooh, that's" doesn't sound anything like the song). In fact, I'd say the only one who'd really be "singing along", assuming that's what they're even doing, would be the KoT; the rest I seriously believe look like they're laughing. I don't think it really adds up. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 14:00, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I distinctly heard "There's no exciting party," as if the KOT was trying to cover it all up. Then again, my hearing leaves a lot to be desired.--<text color: "magenta">[[User:Tiggera|Tiggera]] 05:01, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Coach Z ==

At the end when Coach Z says something like Jorb is a 4 letter word, then he says somethiing like pot, but it sounds stuffed up, does this happen to anyone else?

It plays a small clip from the KOT easter egg.

== More references than usual? ==

Did it seem to anyone else that there were way more inside references in this email than in any others? Even the new scroll button rap is from another email. - Aaronak
*Indeed. --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 04:41, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Worst Email Ever ==

In my opinion this is the worst strong bad email ever. I understand the joke, but it just isn't that funny compared to the other emails. The only funny parts are homestar trying to close his eyes and strong sad at the end.
