==Transcript==
''{Open on Coach Z and Strong Sad sitting at a table. Coach Z is wearing a gladiator's helmet, and Strong Sad is wearing his astronaut helmet}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, it's like a tricycle, but with nineteen wheels instead of three!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Coach Z, that's a ''horrible'' recipe!

'''COACH Z:''' Lemme run this one by ya. We start with a pound of rubber cement...

''{Cut to another view of the table, with Strong Mad, Bubs and The Poopsmith. Strong Mad is wearing a football helmet on top of his head, Bubs is wearing a fire helmet, and The Poopsmith is wearing a Judge Dredd helmet}''

'''BUBS:''' I haven't been able to fit into my lucky pants for almost ten years! That's why come I'm in such a bad mood all the time!

'''STRONG MAD:''' I CAN LET OUT THE WAIST ''{Holds up needle and an extremely short length of thread}'' A LITTLE BIT FOR YOU!

'''BUBS:''' Hey, that'd be a sweet deal I couldn't refuse!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Order!

''{Strong Mad, Bubs and The Poopsmith pay attention. Cut to Homestar, who's wearing his horned helmet and banging a chicken drumstick on the table}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Order! I hereby call this meeting of the Broternal Order of Different Helmets to order! Now let us begin with a rousing rendition of our frothy, shanty chant. ''{Waving drumstick like a conductor's baton}'' And one, two, three!

''{Cut to another view of the table. Bubs, Strong Bad and Coach Z are visible. Strong Bad is wearing a miner's helmet}''

'''ALL:''' ''{singing}'' Ever and more, ever and more, ever and more!

''{Cut to another view. Strong Sad and Pom Pom are visible. Pom Pom is wearing a Samurai helmet. Strong Sad isn't singing and has his arms folded}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Singing—

'''ALL:''' ''{singing}'' Ever and more, ever and more, ever and more!

''{Cut back to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' One more time!

''{Cut to a shot of The Poopsmith, The King of Town and Strong Sad, slowly zooming out. The King of Town is wearing an Imperial German Army helmet}''

'''ALL:''' ''{singing, getting higher at the end}'' Ever and more...

''{Cut to Bubs, Strong Bad and Coach Z, slowly panning left}''

'''ALL:''' ...ever and more...

''{Cut to The Cheat next to Strong Mad. The Cheat is wearing an old-fashioned British policeman's hat.}''

'''ALL:''' ...ever and more!

''{Cut back to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Sad! Why weren't you singing?

''{Cut to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I don't believe in the message!

''{Cut to a view of Pom Pom, Homestar and The Cheat}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh, yes you do. All in favor?

''{Cut to Bubs, Strong Bad and Coach Z}''

'''ALL EXCEPT STRONG SAD:''' Aye!

''{Cut back to Pom Pom, Homestar and The Cheat}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All opposed?

''{Cut to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Nay!

''{Cut back to Pom Pom, Homestar and The Cheat}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' The ayes win! ''{He ducks under the table and reappears next to Strong Sad}'' You believe in the message now!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{Slapping Homestar on the back and smiling}'' I really do!

''{Homestar ducks under the table and reappears in his original position}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I now give the floor to our treasurer, regarding shiny new ways to misappropriate funds.

''{Cut to Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' Thank you, Brotherstar Runnerbro... ther. Well, I've taken the minutes ''{holds them up, music starts playing}'' from last's month's meeting and sold them as rollover minutes ''{holds up another piece of paper with a picture of [[Homsar]] on it}'' to third world countries! ''{places both pieces of paper down}'' Then I bought myself, I mean the Broternal Order of Different Helmets, a jetski! ''{holds up a jetski, slightly knocking the light, and puts it down}'' But then I wrecked it and broke my shin! ''{holds up crumpled leg}'' So now my rubbing ointment ''{holds it up}'' costs fifty bucks a tube!

''{Record scratch sound effect. Music stops. Cut back to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Fantastic! And now, to help me demonstrate the new secret handshake, I call forth, Brother of Town.

''{The King of Town comes onscreen}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Doooooo! 
'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{Offscreen, simultaneously}'' Yaaaaay!

''{Homestar and the King of Town move around for a second}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Everybody got it? This: ''{The word "This" appears onscreen, then Homestar moves around as three arrows appear onscreen}'' Then this: ''{The words "Then this" appears onscreen, then Homestar moves around some more and more complex arrows, including one that branches into three, appear on the screen}'' And now Brother Strong Bad, with his weekly power play.

''{Cut to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Clears throat, then speaks angrily}'' What's the matter with you guys? I should be in charge here! Why is Homestar running this secret club? ''{banging his fist on the table}'' Singing songs and secret handshakes? That's rejected Girl Scout camp material! Put me in charge, and we'll be hitting each other with wooden stools until the morning light! Eating triple-fried pork rinds and burping video game music six ways till Tuesday! "Ever and More"? That's horse puckey, you fools! It's all marketing mumbo jumbo! ''{upset}'' Don't believe a word of it!!

''{Strong Bad pants and shakes. Homestar leans onscreen.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thank you, Strong Bad. We look forward to hearing from you next week.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{subdued}'' Thank you, Supreme Overlord.

''{Homestar leans offscreen. Cut to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And with that, our meeting is adjourned. So everybody buddy up and get to work on that secret handshake. I'm gonna go take a bath in a pile of gold coins.

''{Homestar walks offscreen. Cut to Strong Bad and The Cheat imitating the movements Homestar and the King of Town made earlier, with their hands on their hips. Cut to the words "end, friend." on a black screen}''

:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing to the tune of the ''[[Wikipedia:DuckTales|DuckTales]]'' theme song}'' Lasers, race cars, aeroplanes, doot doo, ah-doot doo!

==Fun Facts==
{{checkstuffpage}}
===Explanations===
*"Broternal" is a [[portmanteau]] of "brotherhood" and "fraternal", two adjectives that are often found in names of male-only secret societies.
*Rollover minutes, offered by [[Wikipedia:AT&T Mobility|AT&T Mobility]] (formerly Cingular Wireless), are unused wireless phone minutes from one month that can be carried over and used in the next.
*[[Wikipedia:Minutes|Meeting minutes]] are a summary of what was discussed at a meeting.

===Goofs===
[[Image:StrongMadMouth everandmore.png|thumb|I HAVE A FUNNY MOUTH!]]
*When Strong Mad holds up the needle, his "O" mouth animation causes an extra line to overlap the needle.
*There are numerous disparities regarding the order in which the characters are sitting around the table. For instance, in the first shot Coach Z is on Strong Sad's left, but in a later shot (during the song) The King of Town appears on Strong Sad's left.

===Inside References===
* Strong Sad's astronaut costume was previously seen in [[senior prom]], though he's only wearing the helmet part here.
* The order's song was previously sung by Homestar in [[the movies]]. Homestar also wore the [[horned helmet]] in that email.
* Strong Bad's miner helmet was seen in the emails [[cheatday]] and [[different town]].
* The King of Town's German army helmet is similar to the one [[The Kaiser]], his [[Old-Timey]] counterpart, wears.
* The Broternal Order's secret handshake is another reference to characters' [[lack of visible arms]].
* This is an occurrence of [[Strong Sad smiling]].
* The pennant on the wall reads "[[LEMKE]]!".
* Bubs's jetski is labeled "WETSKi", another instance of [[lowercase i's]].
* Bubs mentions his lucky [[pants]].
* Pom Pom's [[Wikipedia: samurai|samurai]] helmet is a reference to Pom Pom's [[Pom Pom#Fighting Skills|martial arts skills]].
* The webpage title mentions [[style]].

===Real-World References===
[[Image:Cold Ones Light Old Style.png|thumb|Old Style Cold Ones]]
*The Poopsmith is wearing [[Wikipedia:Judge Dredd|Judge Dredd]]'s helmet.
*The [[Cold Ones]] Light poster closely resembles the [[Wikipedia:Pabst Brewing Company#Old Style|Old Style]] beer logo.
*The lyrics Homestar sings in the bathtub of gold coins are a rearranged segment of the theme song to [[Wikipedia:Disney|Disney]]'s ''[[Wikipedia:DuckTales|DuckTales]],'' with the lines "It's a duck blur" replaced with "Doot do, ah doot-do." Homestar's behavior mirrors [[Wikipedia: Scrooge McDuck|Scrooge McDuck]]'s, who enjoyed diving through his coin-filled [[Wikipedia:Money Bin|Money Bin]].

[[Image:what_I_want.PNG|thumb|"Listen to that moldy oldy in glorious drive-thru stereo."]]

Strong Bad tells us not only what he wants for [[Decemberween]], but also what he ''doesn't'' want.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{film|Strong Bad}}, {{film|Marzipan}}, {{film|Strong Sad}} (voice)

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

'''Date:''' December 10, 2006

'''Running Time:''' 3:29

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Ding-ding-dong, ding-ding-dong, ding-ding-dear Strong Bad.

<blockquote class="lappy email"><div>subject: decemberween</div>
Dear Strongbad, 
What do you want for Decemberween? 
your holiday spirit 
Talon Jendro 
Des Moines, IA
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pauses between "Jen" and "dro", and does not say "Des Moines, Iowa".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Where'd you get that name? George Lucas? Ta'lon J'en-dr'o from the computery generated planet of Des' Moi-nes'ia. ''{clears screen}'' Anyways, everybody knows the kind of stuff I want, Ta'lon. A catapult that launches balls of cobras, chainsaw car, subscription to EGM2, hot step-sister. That email writes itself. It's more important that I establish what I ''don't'' want for X-berween. ''{pronounces "X-berween" as "Decemberween"}''

''{cut to "Z' ShopChan" TV shopping channel}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Our first item is a perennial all-star of bad awful Decemberween presents: the ornament.

'''MARZIPAN:''' There's no better way to say, "I have no idea what your interests are" than to give someone a present that ceases to be useful the moment it's opened.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes, there's nothing like opening a gift just in time to put it in a box in the attic for a year. And next Decemberween when you get it back out, guess what? It's still just a cool snowman surfing the internet.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Internet is ''so'' hot this year.

''{A phone rings}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, we got a caller. ''{puts an empty hand next to his head}'' Go ahead, caller. How many FR114P-dc8s should I put you down for?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Strong Bad, did you put wildebeest pheromones in my laundry again?

''{wildebeest noises}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Aaaah!

''{dial tone}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Another satisfied customer. Next up, we have one of those mechanical dancing musical nobots. The kind that you accidentally activate by getting too close.

'''DANCIN' STRONG BAD MUSICAL NOBOT:''' ''{heavily distorted voice}'' I'm like come on Fhqwhgads, I said come on Fhqwhgads, Everybody to the limit, The Cheat is to the limit.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Listen to that moldy oldy in glorious drive-thru stereo.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Who can appreciate the song when all you're really hearing are the plastic gears and motors clanking together in an effort to barely bust some sort of move?

'''MARZIPAN:''' These things just scream "I stopped at the drug store on my way over". Now, on to our next item.

''{Strong Bad is staring at the nobot, with swirly eyes.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Uhh, Strong Bad?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sorry, I'm completely entrangled by those hypnotically swaying hips. ''{shakes his head violently}'' Our last gift items are all about the false notion that just because you made something yourself, it's not a worthless piece of crap.

'''MARZIPAN:''' These sea-shells have office supplies hot-glued to them for absolutely no reason.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes, and the more globs of hot glue I can see, the quicker I throw it in the trash.

'''MARZIPAN:''' This clothes-pin reindeer ornament is forgettably precious.

''{record scratches}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Woah, home-made ''and'' an ornament. That thing is an anti-gift. If someone gives you one of those, you actually have to pay them because it's so poor. Uh, probably because ''they're'' so poor.

''{white noise, cut back to Strong Bad typing on his Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So Ta'lon, my young apprentice, there's my "Please Great Aunt Whoever, Don't Get Me This Stuff For Decemberween" list. I highly suggest you make your own. But if it doesn't work, don't forget to take advantage of all the temporary help that retailers hire this time of year. Those people will refund ANYTHING! Last year, I returned an omelette to a hardware store for nigh on fifty bucks. Well, happy Decemberween everybloody!

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

==Easter Eggs==
*Click on the words "balls of cobras" as Strong Bad types them to see a board game entitled "COBRA-PULT!!"
*Click on the words "chainsaw car" as Strong Bad types them to see the blueprints to a chainsaw car.
*At the end of the email, click on the words "Don't Get Me This" to see a Dancin' [[Homestar Runner]] Musical Nobot that plays the intro tune.
:'''DANCIN' HOMESTAR RUNNER MUSICAL NOBOT:''' ''{heavily distorted singing}'' Everybody! Everybody! Everybody! Everybody!

==Fun Facts==
{{checkstuffpage}}

===Explanations===
*Strong Bad types "Decemberween" as "X-berween". [[Wikipedia:Xmas|X-mas]] is a common abbreviation of the word Christmas, deriving from the ancient Greek for "[[Wikipedia:Christ|Christ]]" (which is simply written as "X"). Moreover, "decem" is Latin for ten (since December was the tenth month before Caesars Julius and Augustus implemented their own months into the calendar) and "X" the corresponding [[wikipedia:Roman numerals|numeral]].
*[[wikipedia:Hollandaise_sauce|Hollandaise]] is a French lemon-butter sauce, and is also the French feminine form of the word "Dutch".
*A [[wikipedia:pheromone|pheromone]] is a natural chemical produced by an animal that communicates information by [[wikipedia:Olfaction|olfaction]] to others.
*This email parodies the general format of home-shopping television networks, such as [[Wikipedia:QVC|QVC]] and the appropriately-named [[Wikipedia:Home Shopping Network|Home Shopping Network]].

===Trivia===
*The Floppy Disk Container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#low blow|low blow]]".
*The following is a list of all items seen being sold by Z' ShopChan:
*;ZXJ481-78b:Commemorative [[Coach Z]] Ornament
*;WRT54G-Sc:[[Eh! Steve]]! Soiled [[Gold]] Ornament
*;FR114P-dc8:Cool Snowman Surfing the Internet Ornament
*;3DT178-2t2:Dancin' Strong Bad Musical Nobot
*;N2cXL8-42:Seashells b/w Office Supplies
*;Kj78M-Xn45:31 Kt Clothes Pin Reindeer – "Klibber"
*The Cool Snowman's monitor reads "internet dot com."

===Remarks===
*The calculator glued to the shell reads "04 04 04", which upside down looks like "[[wikipedia:Santa_Claus#Ho.2C_ho.2C_ho|ho ho ho]]".
*This is a rare instance of Marzipan and Strong Bad co-existing peacefully, even doing something together without conflict.
*The Dancin' Strong Bad Musical Nobot was said to have Drive-Thru [[wikipedia:Stereo|Stereo]] even though only one speaker was visible.
*Unlike previous emails such as [[privileges]], Strong Bad overlooks the fact that his name is spelled as one word.

===Goofs===
[[Image:Reflection.JPG|thumb|Oo, just barely.]]
*At the end, when Strong Bad gets off the computer, his reflection is outside of the screen for a single frame.
*When Strong Bad typed "Please Aunt Whoever", there should have been a comma after please.

===Inside References===
*The Cobra-pult game is made by [[Boardelectrix]].
*The Strong Bad toy plays [[Everybody to the Limit]], and the Homestar toy plays the [[Intro]] theme.
*Strong Bad was previously hypnotized in [[cartoon]].
*The Dancin' Strong Bad Musical Nobot's part number ends in [[Tooty-two|2t2]].
*The seashell and office supply gift has [[b/w]] in its title.
*There is a [[Cakkalate]]-brand calculator glued to the second seashell.
*The Clothes Pin Reindeer has [[Googly-eyed Objects|googly eyes]].
*"Entrangled" and "Every[[blood|bloody]]" are examples of [[Portmanteaus]].
*The "Ding Ding Dong" jingle at the beginning of the email is to the tune of the intro of the Jingle Bells song played by [[Keyboard Strong Bad]] in [[Decemberween Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]].

===Real-World References===
*This email makes several references to [[Wikipedia:George Lucas|George Lucas]]'s ''[[wikipedia:Star Wars|Star Wars]]'' franchise, specifically Episodes 1 through 3 (released between 1999 and 2005):
**Much of Episodes 1 through 3 was completely [[Wikipedia:Computer-generated imagery|computer-generated]]. This is likely why Strong Bad mentions a computer-generated planet when addressing Talon.
**When Strong Bad calls Talon "Ta'lon J'en-dr'o", he refers to the many aliens in the Star Wars universe whose names contain apostrophes and/or hyphens.
**Strong Bad calls Talon "my young apprentice", another reference to Star Wars: [[Wikipedia:Emperor Palpatine|Darth Sidious]] often addresses [[Wikipedia:Darth Vader|Darth Vader]] and later [[Wikipedia:Luke Skywalker|Luke Skywalker]] in this way.
*''[[wikipedia:EGM2|EGM²]]'' was a spin-off magazine of the video game magazine ''[[wikipedia:Electronic Gaming Monthly|Electronic Gaming Monthly]]''. It was published until 1998 when it became [[wikipedia:Expert Gamer|Expert Gamer]].
*Two of the part numbers, WRT54G-Sc and FR114P-dc8, refer to popular networking hardware – the [[wikipedia:WRT54G|Linksys WRT54G]] and the [http://www.netgear.com/Products/VPNandSSL/WiredVPNFirewallRouters/FR114P.aspx NetGear FR114P].

''{Open in Strong Bad's computer room, coming in on a worried Strong Bad, while suspenseful music plays.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' My computer's been lappynapped!

''{A record scratches and the screen dims, Marshie comes in from the bottom of the screen.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' Hello, Kenneth!

''{Marshie flies across a yellow background.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' Hear me roar!

''{Marshie growls for a moment, then opens his mouth wide, the background turns red, sound lines come out of his mouth, and he meows. Cut to a shot of the Sad Kids standing on top of Marshie.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' That's right, kids!

''{Silhouettes of the main characters scroll across the page, with big question marks over them. As he names the sweepstakes, the name appears on the screen.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' Play the Fluffy Puff Marshmallows ''My Lappy Got Stole!'' Sweepstakes and win big!

''{As Marshie says "big", he grows a large, fat, white body, and his voice deepens. Cut to a shot of a bicycle. Marshie's voice is back to normal.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' First prize,—

''{A shot of a metal detector}''

'''MARSHIE:''' —second tries,—

''{Marshie, in a car, driving along with mountains in the background}''

'''MARSHIE:''' ''{singing}'' Take a trip to the mountains... ''{these words appear above the mountains, written on a musical staff}''

''{The screen dims and Marshie comes down from the top with a top hat and a cane.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' I'm a song and dance man!

''{Cut to a wooden desk, with a note card on it.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' Just email who you think done it on a 3x5 note card,—

''{"it was the HIPPO!" is written on the note card.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' —stick a Fluffy Puff on each corner,—

''{Four marshmallows appear, one stuck on each corner of the card. Cut to Marshie, talking through gritted teeth, in front of a portrait of an older woman.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' —and just walk away, mother...

''{Cut to Strong Bad's basement, looking at the ad on the TV. Marshie is next to a bag of Fluffy Puff Marshmallows.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' Fluffy Puff Marshmallows. Yeah! Still!

''{The words "Yeah! Still!" appear underneath Marshie. Cut to Strong Bad lying on the couch, surrounded by empty chip packets of various descriptions.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You gotta be kidding me. Man, everybody's trying to make a buck or nine off my heart-drooping loss.

''{He feels around in the nearest bag of chips, and finds that it's empty.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, perfect. Now I'm out of my antidepressant. Nothing dulls the pain quite like several dozen half-full bags of ''{as he lists the flavorings, symbols for them appear at the top of the screen}'' Italian-herb-chipotle-buffalo-ranch-guacamole-Thai-peanut-style chippety-chomps. I guess I'll slink off to Bubs' and refill my prescription. Slinnnk...

''{Strong Bad somehow slides up and over the armrest of the couch, and off screen. Cut to Strong Bad at Bubs' Concession Stand. Bubs is nowhere to be seen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bubs! Hello? Can I get a witness? Bubs? ''{looks around the stand, and screams}''

''{Pan to the side of the stand, we see the Lappy's power cord hanging off the roof. Tense music plays.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Lappy's tail! I'll save you, Lappy-pie... boo... ''{runs back and forth anxiously}'' Just keep your pixels on. Strong Bad's got everything under control-alt-delete.

''{Strong Bad picks up a ladder from behind the stand, and climbs up onto the roof.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Who put you up here— Wha?!?

''{The suspenseful music plays, and reveal the Lappy, with the broken Tandy and the shotgunned Compy. The Tandy is suspending a horseshoe magnet from a fishing rod above the Lappy's keyboard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's my crappier and crappiest computers!

''{Both old computers fizz and spark.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Careful, guys, let's not do anything inappropriate with that magnet... I've got a lot of important text files on that 5 meg hard drive... Now just let the Lappy go, and we can all go out for hushpuppies. You guys still like hushpuppies, don't you?

''{Both old computers fizz and spark a lot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, fine. hushpuppies are out. For some reason I... I thought you guys liked hushpuppies.

''{Both old computers keep fizzing and sparking. The Tandy also churns its floppy disk drive.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sorry, guys, we're getting nowhere. I don't speak extravagantly broken computer.

''{The Paper comes down, reading "'Sup Strong Bad. I'll help with the translation."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Paper! You're just in time! Find out what they want!

''{The Paper goes back up, and the Compy "talks" for a bit. The Paper comes back down with "They want to come out of retirement..."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Retirement? They didn't retire, I threw them away. Ask them if they mean they want to come out of ''thrown-awayment''.

''{The Paper comes down again, reading "They're not laughing. They each want to check one last email."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Are they joking? Those guys couldn't check an email with the help of sixty horses dressed up as IT professionals!

''{The Tandy lowers the magnet a little, and the Lappy's screen turns on, showing:}''

''{Both old computers "talk".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It just means 2002... I... thought it was slick... slick-rick... way to talk...

''{Fade through black to Strong Bad with the Tandy at the email-checking desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Green lines, green, green lines. It's a Strong Bad Email again.

do you remember the email that you deleted

sincerly

''{Strong Bad reads "sincerly" as written, and "josh oakland" as "josho kland"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, let's just see here... Zero capitalization...

''{The first letters of each of "dearest", "strong", "bad", "do", "sincerly", "josh" and "oakland" are all briefly highlighted}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Misspelling...

''{The word "sincerly" is briefly highlighted}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Lack of punctuation...

''{The blank spaces after "bad", "hardest", "sincerly" and "josh" are all briefly highlighted}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Looks like a winner to me! ''{typing}'' Dearest Josho, I have some good news for you! I DO remember the email that I deleted the hardest. And I'm still remembering it right now!!! ''{stops typing}'' Homestar! Little help please.

''{Zooms out to reveal Homestar pouring a bottle of Mountain Dew into the hole in the side of the Tandy}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm way ahead of ya, SB.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Then, we'll just add some of the King of Town's fizzy denture tablets.

''{Strong Bad holds up a box of "Oh No You Dent!!!" disgusting old person tablets}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{offscreen}'' Thems is my after-dinner mints!

''{Strong Bad tips several of the tablets into the hole.}''

Dear Bakery Thrift Store, 
Whom do you think you are 
fooling? You sell old baked 
goods. The stuff regular 
bakeries throw away. So what 
if a loaf of bread is only 
29 cents? It's old bread. 
Should I start collecting

* Click on the roof vent after Strong Bad's joke about Horses in [[Wikipedia:Information technology|IT]] to see a [[Dullard]] comic.
* Click the plug socket after the explosion to replay the explosion animation.

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*The explosion following the addition of Mountain Dew and denture tablets to the Tandy 400 is due to the rapid release of carbon dioxide gas from both the carbonated water and the effervescent action of the sodium bicarbonate and citric acid in the tablets. This process is not to be confused with the [[Wikipedia:Mentos eruption|Mentos eruption]] phenomenon which releases gas only from the carbonated water due to the abundance of nucleation sites.
*[[Wikipedia:Control-Alt-Delete|Control-Alt-Delete]] is a computer keyboard command on [[Wikipedia:IBM PC compatible|IBM PC compatible]] systems that can be used to close programs or reboot the computer.
*A [[Wikipedia:Hushpuppy|hushpuppy]] is a deep-fried ball of cornmeal commonly eaten in the southern United States.

===Trivia===
*The [[Hanging Objects|portrait]] of Marshie's mother is hung in the same frame as the painting by the Deutsch Master in [[portrait]].

===Remarks===
[[Image:extra outlet and Lappy plug.png|thumb|120px|The Lappy's tail!]]
*In Marshie's Whodunnit? scene, every main character is visible silhouetted except for [[The Cheat]], [[The Poopsmith]], [[Homsar]] and [[Strong Bad]] himself.
*Strong Bad says that the Lappy's hard drive holds five "[[Wikipedia:Megabyte|megs]]." However, in [[animal]], the Lappy has a "2 MB Hard Drive!".
*During Strong Bad's confrontation with the Tandy and Compy, there are clickable areas on the Lappy's screen, but clicking on them has no effect. This is because the Tandy's contrast buttons are behind the Lappy, and they are disabled in this scene.
*The word "contrast" on Strong Bad's Tandy is in a different font than it was before the Tandy was thrown out.
*The Paper doesn't have a link to Strong Bad's email address.
*The Back link on the Compy is written in the same font as the Lappy's Back link.
*The Lappy seems to still have all its keys in this email, even though the comma key was removed at the end of the last one (and would be missing in the next one).
*If you view the Flash file, during the Mountain Dew scene there is an extra electrical outlet outside the black, complete with the Lappy's cord plugged in.


===Glitches===
* When Strong Bad is checking the email on the Tandy 400, white lines blink on left and bottom sides of the computer screen.

===Inside References===
*This email follows directly from [[cliffhangers]], where Strong Bad's computer was kidnapped at the end of the email. The dramatic "cliffhanger resolution" music is reused from that email as well.
*This is another appearance of [[Index Cards|index cards]] on the site.
*"Now, let's check emails like it was the deuce double-ought dweice!" may be a reference to the fact that Strong Bad last checked an email with the Tandy in 2002.
*The position of Strong Bad's head in front of the Tandy, his reflected mouth on the Tandy's screen and his lack of head movement is a reference to his early emails.
*"Number 119, a-deleted" may be a reference to Email #119 ([[animal]]) in which Strong Bad first got the Lappy.
*Two of the items on Strong Bad's Cloud Shape Spotting Log ("strong sad's ghost" and "strong sad's corpse") refer to [[Death#Strong Sad's Imagined Death|Strong Sad's imagined death]].
*Homestar pouring [[Mountain Dew]] into the Tandy is a reference to [[anything]], in which he poured Mountain Dew onto the Compy.
*The line "if it'll save the orphanage" is a reference to [[Kid Speedy]], in which coming "not last" wins you enough money to "get the orphanage its operation".
*Strong Bad makes Homsar's walking noise when he notices the Lappy's cord and is frantically pacing around.
*The Tandy's bad graphics mushroom cloud is a reference to the bad graphics ghost in the email [[ghosts]].

===Real-World References===
*The sounds that occur when Strong Bad is highlighting typos in the Tandy's last email are various sound effects from MacOS 9.
*The winged buffalo references the [[Wikipedia:Buffalo Wild Wings|Buffalo Wild Wings]] mascot.
*The [[Wikipedia:Teal (color)|Teal]] Screen of Near Death is a reference to the various colored [[Wikipedia:Category:Screens of death|Screens of death]] used by computer operating systems to indicate serious system errors. The [[Compy 386]] has been seen to have its own [[Wikipedia:Blue Screen of Death|Blue Screen of Death]] (the [[Strong Bad's Computer Malfunctioning|Flagrant System Error]]) on more than one occasion.
*[[Wikipedia:Dabney Coleman|Dabney Coleman]] is an actor most known for his role in the films ''[[Wikipedia:Nine to Five|Nine to Five]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:Tootsie|Tootsie]]''.
*Strong Bad scrambling back and forth underneath the Lappy's cord may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Donkey Kong 3|Donkey Kong 3]], while the music is reminiscent of the game [[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros. 2|Super Mario Bros. 2]], when the player is fighting a boss.
*[[Wikipedia:Slick Rick|Slick Rick]] was a popular hip-hop artist of the late 1980's and early 1990's.
*/got nothin' in the text files is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Fark.com|Fark.com]], where people sometimes end their posts with that remark.
*Homestar pouring Mountain Dew onto the carpet after the destruction of the Tandy may be a reference to the practice of pouring [[Wikipedia:libation|libations]] on the ground to honor the dead.
*Strong Bad's contracted naming of files refers to names often given to files due to [[Wikipedia:8.3|8.3]] naming conventions present in [[Wikipedia:FAT16|FAT16]] and earlier filesystems, although some of his file names would be too long for these rules.
*"Just walk away, mother" is a reference to the movie ''[[Wikipedia: Psycho (1960 film)|Psycho]]''. Also, the painting seen when Marshie delivers this line is drawn similarly to the caricature of [[Wikipedia:Alfred Hitchcock|Alfred Hitchcock]] seen at the start of his television program.
*"Slink" references to the 1966 television special [[Wikipedia:How_the_Grinch_Stole_Christmas|How the Grinch Stole Christmas!]] where the Grinch "slinks" over furniture to Dr. Seuss' lines "Slink! Slank! Slunk!"

== There's more easter eggs strewn about this email ==

After the Horses/IT Pros joke, the chimney pipe can be clicked to show a Dullard comic about such a thing. There's also a couple of clickable squares on the Lappy screen before the TSoND; can't figure out what they do though.

Also, click on the plugs underneath the desk after the Tandy explodes for the pixelated explosion again. {{unsigned|81.178.84.219|10:57, 2 October 2006}}
:Good find :-) {{User:Loafing/sig}} 11:02, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

==Links?==
There seems to be no links on the website itself to the email, only here. How will the General Public SEE it?
--[[User:Gerkuman|Gerkuman]] 11:06, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
:It's on the email manu. Clear you cache, maybe. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 11:09, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

== Goof ==

The lappy seems to still have all its keys, despite one of them being removed in [[cliffhangers]]. --[[User:60.229.93.56|60.229.93.56]] 11:13, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
:Well spotted. You could have just added directly to the article.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 11:15, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

== resolved ?s in retirement article ==

Hello, I don't have an account, and am having trouble with the editing, so could somebody please change the "?s" in the article? the first ? is "half-FULL bags." the other is "italian herb-CHIPOTLE". thanks.
:Glad to see that you did manage to change it yourself :-){{User:Loafing/sig}} 11:53, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

== Possible Read-World Reference ==

The filenames you get when you click SB's diamond are heavily truncated and abbreviated, and match the style of old DOS [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8.3 8.3] names (that's in length... 8 letters, a period, and three more letters) that were in use before long file names were made possible through Windows. Such names were used so filenames could still be descriptive and still fit within the 8.3 limitations at the same time. However SB's filenames are still clearly far too long to fit within 8.3 characters. --[[User:64.195.243.2|64.195.243.2]] 14:12, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

== Lil' Brudder ==

I Noticed That When Strong Bad Is Panicing Around Under The Lappys Tail, That It Plays The Same Noise As Lil' Brudder's "Leg Failing" -- [[User:Assassinator666|Assassinator666]] 14:19, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I think it's Homsar's walking noise.
:Oh, Didn't Realise That They're The Same. My Bad. -- [[User:Assassinator666|Assassinator666]] 14:47, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
::That sound is used A LOT on the site. It was in cliffhangers too, when the Thnikkaman was waddling away. {{User:Saturn/sig}} 15:15, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

::: But that would be remarkable, don't you think? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:31, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

== Which computers? ==

I noticed the Lappy is listed as a computer for this toon along with the Tandy. Yet, the Lappy's not actually used to answer an email. Is there another reason it's listed on top? Or is that a mistake? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 17:24, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
:I wrote that out of habbit, and I think you're right. I'll fix it. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 17:50, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

== Real World Reference ==

What about the who-dunit and the 7-eleven/Simpsons Who Shot Mr. Burns? Contest?

Also, what about the [http://www.buck-o-nine.com Buck-O-Nine] Reference?

: The contest reminds me more of the Butterfinger/Simpsons contest with who stole Bart's butterfinger or something like that. since something was STOLEN, not shot. [[User:Yadaman|Yadaman]] 23:20, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

:: forgot to mention, I'm not sure if this is true for the 7-Eleven one, but in the Butterfinger one, the person who did it was near completely unexpected and kind of a shock ending, similar to this one (we all thought it was a person, and BAM! it was the old computers). [[User:Yadaman|Yadaman]] 23:23, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

::Candies have had a long tradition of having things stolen. Cheetos, Smarties (Canadian ones anyway), M&M's, lots of stuff. TTATOT ftw!

==How will it check==
Should we mention that while the Tandy continued to check emails after it broke, the Compy was thrown away immediately after breaking? I mean, how can it check an email with that gaping hole? -[[User:71.192.94.44|71.192.94.44]] 19:10, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
:Guess we'll find out tomorrow, eh? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:Remember, this is the Talk for this page, not the Forum. As for noting that the Tandy checked emails after breaking, that's already noted on the Tandy page, and it wouldn't belong here anyway. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 19:17, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

make a bigger hole duh!

== Back button added late? ==

Can anyone else verify that the Back button did not originally appear? I watched this a couple hours ago and I could swear there wasn't a Back button that time around. [[User:Octan|Octan]] 21:08, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
:It was definitely there half an hour after release.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 21:29, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

== Can I get a witness? ==

No real-world reference for this? My first thought was actually Grand Funk Railroad's "Some Kind of Wonderful" (which I have heard), but after some research I suppose the often-covered [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Can_I_Get_a_Witness Marvin Gaye title] (which I have not heard) is more likely.
:There's no real-world reference because the fact is [[HRWiki:Glossary#T|TTATOT]]. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}} 21:59, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

::Besides Gaye's and GFR's songs, there's Frank Black's song. All three were suggested as references, but they can't all be, so no reference. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:07, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

== Sad eyes? ==
[[Image:Sadbad.png|thumb|The saddest of Bads...]]
At the beginning, Strong Bad's eyes are sad (the top halves are taken off). Isn't this noteworthy since it doesn't happen very often?
:I don't recall it ever happening. Let's get a few more keen observers to chime in though. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:28, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
::Wait... that [[:Image:sbemail127.png|has]] happened before... {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:52, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
:'''EC''' It ''is'' a rare occurrence, and it was noted at its first appearance in [[long pants]]. I tend to think that the "coming in on a worried Strong Bad" bit in the transcript is sufficient for this article, since it has happened and has been noted before. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 22:56, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
{{clear}}
But in the long pants one, he's showing exasperation. In this one it's slanted for sadness. Just saying...
:They're just partially closed. Or open, depending on your attitude. Either way, we're seeing his eyelids. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 01:44, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

== DULLARD = Dilbert ==

I think it's pretty clear that Dullard by "Levert Burtmore" is a reference to Dilbert by Scott Adams. Do we need a vote on this or should I just go ahead and add it? --[[User:Sailor titan|Sailor titan]] 22:20, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
:Already mentioned on the [[Dullard (comic)|Dullard]] page. {{User:Saturn/sig}} 22:22, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

== Saving the orphanage ==

The remark about saving the orphanage reminded me of the Blues Brothers, but I'll let you guys decide if it's worthy enough for the real-world references section.

First thing that came to my mind. Glad I'm not the only one Anonny. I say yes! -- [[User: TaranchulaVamp15|TaranchulaVamp15]] -- Here, now, on my time.

It's kind of standard drama, saving the orphanage, saving the orphans. Hey, maybe it's Ibsen's ''Ghosts.''

== extra buttons? ==

dont know what they do but did anyone else notice 2 small useless buttons on the lappy's screen in the rooftop scene?
:'''edit conflict''' I think those're just the contrast buttons on the Tandy, they're clickable but they don't do anything. {{User:Saturn/sig}} 02:37, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

==Goof==

In the Flash version, when Strong Bad is slinking off to Bubs' Concession Stand, when Strong Bad goes out of the frame, his body disappears.

That's completely normal. -[[User:FaceCrap|FaceCrap]] 02:36, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

== What year is it? ==

How many times now has Strong Bad gotten the year wrong? There's #150, there's the comic convention, this one, any others?

== Buck OR nine ==

I'm almost certain that SB is saying "Everybody's trying to make a buck OR nine off of my etc. etc." Listen to it with a good pair of headphones and the "R" sound comes through quite clearly. By extension, I think that the "Buck o' Nine" CA ska band reference is quite unlikely. -[[User:TobyTheRobot|TobyTheRobot]] 03:03, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{looks around}'' Did nobody just see that?! Judge? Fairie? Giant bee?

''{Cut to The Grape Fairie and The Announcer, who are admiring the bowl and not paying attention to the contest.}''

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' Honest to God, Mookie Wilson gave me the golbol in my hands in 1974.

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Really quite an impressive bowl.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{off screen}'' Hellooo?

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' Oh. Right.

''{Cut to Pom Pom, Strong Bad, and Homestar.}''

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' ''{poofs another grape on top of everyone}'' Crazy eights!

''{Strong Bad begins to lose his grip on the grapes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat? Big help here! Big help!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay.... Even it out there on the south side.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Jump her up.

''{Cut to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, seriously. At first it was cute, but this is just borderline unsportsmanlike! Let me outline my master plan. I will (a) drop my grapes, and (b) uncover that cheat! ''{drops his grapes; walks over to Strong Bad and The Cheat}'' Could I just borrow this a second? ''{grabs The Cheat}''

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

''{Homestar kicks The Cheat about his feet like a hackey-sack, then does a slow-motion flip and bicycle kicks the cheat off screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{melodramatically}'' Oh-nooo! ''{gets squished by his pile of grapes}''

''{The action-pose scene appears, this time with a green grapes background, "squished bad", and Strong Bad under his pile of grapes.}''

''{Cut to Pom Pom}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Pom Pom wins!

''{Pom Pom winks; a record scratch sounds, cut to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wait, what?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh.... These grapes are succulently crushing my windpipe.... Ooh, but they're seedless! ''{The pile of grapes begins to collapse as Strong Bad eats it}''

''{Cut to Homestar and Pom Pom holding the trophy.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, seriously, Pom Pom. Gimme the golbol!

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubble noises, pulls the trophy back a bit}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, that's great. But I still won. I sportsmanliked everbody! Now gimme the golbol!

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubble noises}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, fine. You can give it to me for my birthday. Now check out my victory dance! Huhyayayayaaa!

''{Homestar crosses his left leg over his right and jumps into the air. The Grape Fairie and the Fat Bee enter from the upper right, the announcer from the lower left. Pom Pom jumps in the air holding the trophy. The scene fades into the last page of the Original Book with "1996-2006" written across the upper left.}''

== Easter Eggs==
*Clicking on the [[Contests|Contest]] sign when Homestar mentions getting Strong Bad's autograph will show a picture of said autograph, on which is written:
<blockquote>homestar, 
dare to dream! believe in yourself 
and you can achieve anything!! 
your pal 
Stong Ba... 
wait a sec, 
2nd try: 
homestar, 
you're 
a butt. 
''Strong Bad''</blockquote>

*Clicking the [[Trophies|trophy]] at the end shows a shot of it (captioned "GOLBOL") in the same style as the ones shown when Mr. Bland, The Robot, and Señor are introduced. The New York Mets symbol is shown in the background.

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*The [[Main Page Messages|main page message]] for this toon read "10 years!".
*This toon is the first time The Grape Fairie, Mr. Bland, and Señor are given a voice.
*Despite its attempt, this toon's page title is not the longest one of the website. [[Shopping for Danger]]'s page title "Blue Las-alert, Kids! Cheat Commandos will be right back after these messages!" surpasses it by five characters. They are, however, both 19 syllables long.

===Remarks===
*When The Grape Fairie's mouth disappears when he isn't talking, his five-o'clock shadow disappears with it.
*When Homestar holds up the grapes, they float as if he's controlling them with his mind rather than with [[Lack of Visible Arms|invisible arms]].
*Señor may also defy physics. He holds the pile on one side with the other half of the pile mysteriously floating in mid-air. This was also true in the original book.
*The Grape Fairy said that Mookie Wilson gave him the trophy in 1974, but Wilson would have been 18 at the time. He was not drafted by the Mets until 1977.
*Señor's introduction background of beans may be a nod to the stereotype that Hispanics eat a lot of beans.

===Goofs===
*When Mr. Bland, The Robot and Señor are introduced, the smaller spotlights cross over their feet, yet none of the characters' feet light up.

===Inside References===
*When Señor gets squished, the onomatopoeia used is "[[SBLOUNSKCHED! Bar|Sblounskched!]]".
*The song during the training scene is "Showdown" from [[montage]], except with vocals by someone who sounds like [[Larry Palaroncini]].
*The outfit Homestar wears during the training scene originally appeared in [[lady fan]].
*The autographed picture of Strong Bad in the Easter egg is the same as the one that Strong Bad gives to his "main man" Van Mundegaarde in [[2 years]].
*Homestar is shown [[Kicking The Cheat]], albeit in a more elaborate fashion than in the original book.
*Señor's line "I still alive!" may be a reference to [[Strumstar Hammer]], in which this scene is captioned with the line "this blue guy died."
*Homestar's first speaking line is an example of an [[Integral Article|Integral Article]]

===Real-World References===
*The logo in the background of the Easter egg is that of the [[Wikipedia:New York Mets|New York Mets]], the team of which [[Wikipedia:Mookie Wilson|Mookie Wilson]] is best known as a member.
*The statement in Strong Bad's autograph "believe in yourself and you can achieve anything" is from [[Wikipedia:Rocky|Rocky]].
*"Unplugged" refers to playing music intended for electric instruments on their acoustic equivalents, and was popularised by the [[Wikipedia: MTV Unplugged|MTV Unplugged]] series.

Senor Cardgage

TobyTheRobot — Thu, 03 Aug 2006 19:38:16 GMT

[[Image:Senor_Cartgage_Profile.PNG|thumb|right|100px|So cool.]]

{{about|creepy mortgage broker and used car salesman}} {{for|blue [[Storybook Characters|storybook character]]|Señor}} {{for|common misuse of the Spanish word "Señor"|Senor}}

'''Senor Cardgage''' is apparently the creepy guy that lived down the street from the Brothers Strong when they were little, whose extreme sketchiness gave [[Strong Sad]] nightmares. He now runs [[Senor Cardgage Mort-gage|his own mortgage business]] as well as a [[Senorial Day|used car dealership]]. His name is pronounced "[[Senor|Seh-nor]]", not "Seh-nyor", due to the lack of a [[Wikipedia: tilde|tilde]] on the N.

Some of his traits include:
* Suspiciously coming out of bushes and shrubs just as you walk by
* Always carrying [[Aldi Bag|an old plastic Aldi grocery bag]] of mysterious contents
* Loudly eating melty chocolate bars while standing too close to you in lines
* Smelling like [[Peas|pea soup]] (according to [[Homestar Runner]])

[[Image:Can of Peas.png|thumb|left|"Look at this can of peas, Helvetica."]]
Senor Cardgage speaks in phrases that are described by Strong Bad as "almost one word, but not quite another," such as "excardon me" and "exobably not." He'll also "call at you as if you were a lady," regardless of your gender.

Even though he has a car dealership and a mortgage company, his residence is unknown. It is suggested in [[Senorial Day]] and [[candy product]] that he is homeless, as he is shown in an [[Alleyway|alleyway]] sleeping in a sleeping bag and using his [[Wikipedia:Aldi|Aldi]] bag as a pillow. Strong Sad said that Senor Cardgage lived down the street when they were little, implying he had a house at one point; however, there is no proof of this or of his current residence, if any. Although it is implied that he is poor, he offers to buy Strong Sad a can of peas at [[Strong Bad]]'s [[garage sale]] for $99, and then proceeds to buy it for himself.

When Strong Bad is asked what he would be like if he was not stylish and buff in the email "[[kind of cool]]", he describes Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad who is just like Senor Cardgage. Both are, at least to Strong Bad, "so cool, you don't even know [that they are] cool".

It is often debated whether Senor Cardgage and Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad are the same person or not, but it is notable that during the "[[Sketchbook (video)|Sketchbook]]" extra on the [[strongbad_email.exe]] DVD, [[The Brothers Chaps]] refer to this character as Senor Cardgage, and during the commentary for [[garage sale]], they remark, "Ah, good ol' Senor Cardgage. I guess he's a real character now." Also, in the [[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons Menu]], the description for [[Senor Mortgage]] reads "Wait. Is Senor Cardgage real?!"

'''Date:''' July 3, 2006

'''Running Time:''' 4:37

'''Page Title:''' Your dreams were your ticket out...

==Transcript==
''{A closeup of a time clock attached to a telephone pole. A time card is punched in. The words "Weclome Back" are shown, and flash various colors. Pull out to see Bubs holding a cup of coffee, in front of a table with styrofoam cups and an urn, in the Field. Marzipan enters and also punches in.}''

'''BUBS:''' Well, hello, Marzi-person! Welcome back.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, howdy, stranger!

'''BUBS:''' Stranger? I'm Bubs, remember?

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{unimpressed}'' Uh, I know. It's a joke.

'''BUBS:''' That's hilarious. How was your vacation?

'''MARZIPAN:''' It was tout de suite! I took the Cool Tapes on a midwestern tour ''{the tour map pops up}'' of bead shops and topiary gardens.

''{Cut to a topiary garden; Marzipan, Strong Mad and The Cheat are playing in the band}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{singing}''
:Cool tapes are cool, and we're better than ever,
:Cool tapes are cool, 'cause we're light as a feather.
:Keep it down with that real cool flavor,
:Me and The Cheat and our bass player.
:Rockin' the spot.
:Yeah, we're rockin' the spot.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Thanks, jah! And don't forget we've got cool 7-inches for sale over at our merch table.

''{Cut to the merchandise table. Homsar is standing on it, it has a sign reading "Merch Masala" and another reading "Steven Inches $π"}''

'''HOMSAR:''' I'm a little light in the leftovers!

''{Homsar's hat flies off the left of the screen, and comes back on from the right and settles on his head. Cut back to Bubs and Marzipan at the coffee table.}''

'''BUBS:''' I bet you drove the shape-ed plants wild.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah, they were way into it. So what did you do?

'''BUBS:''' I drove my baloney sandwich truck down to the beach.

''{Cut to the tropical island. Bubs's "Baloney Sammich Truck", which resembles an ice-cream truck, doesn't quite fit, and the rear wheels are in the water.}''

'''BUBS:''' Baloney! Come on, people! Come on, palm tree! I'm-tryingtosellabaloneysammich!

''{An Atari seagull flies past.}''

'''BUBS:''' You shut your face!

''{Cut back to the coffee table.}''

'''BUBS:''' I sold exactly zero baloney sandwiches!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well that's great!

'''BUBS:''' Yeah, it was pretty much my best summer ever.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{walks in}'' Same here. I spent two glorious weeks at Gluten Camp. I learned more about this oft-misunderstood plant protein than I ever thought possible.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' What''eva!'' ''{puts a time card in the time clock}'' I was across the lake at Glutton Camp. And we challenged those pansies to an obstacle course!

''{Cut to the obstacle course, pan across to see Strong Sad and the King of Town stuck in two tire swings.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, should we call it a draw?

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Hecks no! I got stuck in here 10 minutes before you!

''{Pan across to Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Let's go, Glorten Camp! Glorten Camp is pain and scranin' on yous!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh yeah? Well while you slo-mos were slounching around on your haunchy laurels, I was checking the most amazing email of my career!

''{Cut through static to Strong Bad, holding the Lappy, on a plane. Screen markers and a recording light are visible, as though viewed through a camcorder. Strong Bad leans in and adjusts the focus.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, Lappy, when I mash record on that camera, we're gonna perform the world's first death-defying midair SBEmail check! We'll make the cover of all the latest blogs! Now, are you psyched?! I'm psyched, are you psyched?!? OK, 3! 2! 1!

''{Strong Bad leans in and presses a button on the camera. Cut through static to Strong Bad standing on the ground. The camera drops to the ground and slowly falls over.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, the believing is hard to be doing, because that was so incredible! We met so many celebrities in midair! And the part with the ''Narwhal'' ''{said "Nar-wayel"}'' was ''so'' illegal.

''{Cut through static to Strong Bad, back at the coffee table}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, cuh-rap! What am I, your dad? I can't believe I pulled the old "mash Stop when you think you're mashing Record and mash Record when you think you're mashing Stop" routine on myself.

'''MARZIPAN:''' But if we've all been on vacation, who's been taking care of the website?

''{Homestar Runner walks in, tired, wearing a dressing gown, a nightcap and [[Nebulon]] slippers, with a cinnamon 5 o'clock shadow.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{yawns}'' What's up, my brothers? Let no one say the Homestar Runner don't know how to nap. What is it, like mid-May or something?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, try "early July."

''{Zoom in.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aah! I slept through June!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yup.

''{Zoom in even tighter.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aah! Bet Agatha Christie would never sleep through June... neither would Angela Lansbury.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aren't they the same person?

'''BUBS:''' Yeah.

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Yep.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I think they are.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Yes, they definitely are.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, it's settled then. Now, what's this I hear about some of you guys sleeping through June? I'll let it slide this time, but June-sleepers will not be tolerated from this day henceforth. Now, whose turn was it to bring the doughnuts?

'''EVERYONE:''' Yours.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, I'll let it slide this time, but doughnut-rememberers will do-not be tolerated from now on. All right, everybody, everybody. It's time to get this www-dot-show back on the road-dot-com. Now, places! And...

''{Cut to everyone standing in front of a plain blue background. The words "everybody, everybody" appear in front of them. The music from the Intro page plays.}''

'''SINGERS:''' Everybody, everybody! Everybody, everybody! Everybody, everybody! Everybody, everybody!

==Easter Eggs==
* In Homsar's scene, click on the "Steven Inches" sign to see a "The Freewheelin' Eh, Steve" album cover. On the bottom it lists the songs ''Sweet Cups and Cakes'' by Wheelchair Man, ''Eh, Steve's Dream'' by Eh, Steve!, and ''Talkin' Trying to Catch a Worm Blues'' by Fresh Juice.
* When the King of Town first appears, click on his crown to see his "I'm with Glutton Camp" T-shirt.
* Click on the left "everybody" at the end of the toon to see what Pom Pom and The Poopsmith presumably did during their summer vacation.
:''{Pom Pom and the Poopsmith are both leaning on the palm tree on the deserted island. They are both wearing sunglasses. After a few moments, a thought cloud appears and reveals that Pom Pom is thinking of a baloney (or bologna) sandwich. Another one appears shortly afterwards and shows that the Poopsmith is too.}''

==Fun Facts==
{{checkstuffpage}}

===Explanations===
*This toon refers to the real-life vacation that [[The Brothers Chaps]] took in the late spring/early summer of 2006, during which time the site went nearly seven weeks (48 days) without a major update (there were various minor updates during this period, but no toons).
*The Baloney Truck is a spoof on the [[wikipedia:Ice_cream_truck|Ice Cream Truck/Van]], which is popular in some parts of the world.
*[[Wikipedia:Agatha Christie|Agatha Christie]] and [[Wikipedia:Angela Lansbury|Angela Lansbury]] are, in fact, not the same person. Christie was an English crime fiction writer and Lansbury is a English-born American actress most famous for her role on [[Wikipedia:Murder, She Wrote|Murder, She Wrote]]. However, Lansbury did play Christie's fictional sleuth [[Wikipedia:Miss Marple|Miss Marple]] in the movie adaptaion of Christie's [[Wikipedia:The Mirror Crack'd|The Mirror Crack'd]].

*The Cool Tapes tour goes through East Westerburg, Beadsburg, Bead Store City, Sculpted Busheton, New Beadshop, Topiarianapolis, Beeeeeds and Tope Gardens. Other towns on the map are Northtime, Pantsburg, Shoigut, Thuxtable and The Slickster.
*There are trees in the topiary garden shaped as an ice-cream cone, [[Trogdor]], a tree stump, and [[Wikipedia:William Shakespeare|William Shakespeare]].
*According to the sign on the side of Bubs's truck, he's selling:
**"Gumball Surprise"—A baloney sandwich with a purple gumball on top.
**"Open Smiley Face"—An open baloney sandwich with a smiley face drawn on it in mustard.
**"I Heart Baloney"—A baloney sandwich with heart-shaped bread.
**"Dog Food"—A baloney sandwich with bone-shaped bread.
**"It's Not a Real Popsicle"—A baloney sandwich with popsicle-shaped bread.
**"Inside Out"—A piece of bread between two slices of baloney.

===Remarks===
*Coach Z's line about "Glorten" Camp echoes a similar line from him in [[mascot]]. There, he refers to the same entity in two different ways, and here, he refers to two different entities in the same way.

===Inside References===
* Pantsburg is one of the [[Strong Bad's Vacation Spots|places Strong Bad visited]] on his [[vacation]] and one of the places in [[Limozeen]]'s [[Limozeen#Zeenin' Across the Country 2001|Zeenin' Across the Country tour]].
* When Strong Bad says "I can't believe I pulled the 'Mash stop when you think you're mashing record, and mash record when you think you're mashing stop' on myself" is a reference to [[Mashing_Go|mashing go/play on something]]
* The Atari seagull is from [[huttah!]]
* Marzipan's [[Cool Tapes]] band comes from [[Cool Things]].
* The toon's title includes [[Unusual Greetings#Weclome|Weclome]].
* Homestar's slippers resemble [[Nebulon]].
* Bubs' "Baloney Sammich Truck" has a [[Marshie]] look-alike sandwich on the top.
* Bubs pronounces "shaped plants" the same way Strong Bad and Teenage Homestar pronounced "striped pants" in [[highschool]].
* One of the places the Cool Tapes band visits is East Westerburg. Westerberg (spelled slightly differently) was visited in [[Thy Dungeonman 3]], and it was to the east of the player's starting location.
* Pom Pom is wearing [[Dangeresque Too]]'s sunglasses.
* In addition to the two ropes attaching the tire swings to the tree at the obstacle course, a third rope hangs from the sky and sways gently, as did the rope featured in [[A Folky Tale]].
* The "Gumball Surprise" is another example of a [[Concoctions|concoction]].

===Real-World References===
*The city "The Slickster" (as seen on the Cool Tapes tour map) is a reference to former WWF manager Kenneth Johnson, who's ring name was Slick and often called "The Slickster" by the commentators.
*The city of "Thuxtable" is a reference to Theo Huxtable, a character on The Cosby Show. Theo Huxtable was previously mentioned in [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]], when Coach Z dressed up like him.
*The design of the Cool Tapes Marzipan amps are based on the design of the classic Marshall amp.
*A Vlog is a Video Blog, made popular by Youtube.com, a short video of the host sharing a part of their lives.
*The page title references the theme song from the sitcom ''[[Wikipedia:Welcome Back, Kotter|Welcome Back, Kotter]]'' ("Welcome back / Your dreams were your ticket out...").
*Athletic competitions between summer camps occupying the same campground are common in family movies and cartoons.
*The "Freewheelin' Eh! Steve" album cover is a reference to Bob Dylan's early album, "Freewheelin' Bob Dylan."
*Homestar's shirt is a reference to the movie ''[[IMDB:tt0088258|This Is Spinal Tap]]'', in which [[Wikipedia:Nigel Tufnel|Nigel Tufnel]] is seen wearing the same shirt featuring a green ribcage and later remarks "This is what I sleep in sometimes".
*The Eh! Steve song "Sweet Cups and Cakes" is likely a ''[[IMDB:tt0088258|This Is Spinal Tap]]'' reference as well, since "Cups and Cakes" is the name of a Spinal Tap song.
*Strong Mad's violin styled bass bears a resemblance to the [[Wikipedia:Hofner|Hofner]] bass played by [[Wikipedia:Paul McCartney|Paul McCartney]]. However Strong Mad plays right handed, while Paul is a lefty.
*Strong Bad's Narwhal reference is a reference to the popular internet game [http://www.spinnerdisc.com/narwhaldiving.html Narwhal Diving] at the website [http://www.spinnerdisc.com Spinnerdisc.com].
*The sign on the merchandise table that reads "Merch Masala" might be a reference to the 1985 Hindi movie [[Wikipedia:Mirch Masala|Mirch Masala]]

TobyTheRobot: Alright then

== Informat Welcome! ==

Welcome to the wiki Toby! I liked your recent [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=secret_identity&diff=247578&oldid=247577 edit] on [[secret identity]]. Again, welcome! (informally). --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 19:13, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks buddy! I've actually been around for a few months now, doing the odd format and prose edit. I'm don't have the ambition/patience to make new pages or sweeping edits, but I am a grammar and readability Nazi, so I help where I can. It's nice to get some recognition, though. :) Thanks again!
--[[User:TobyTheRobot|TobyTheRobot]] 19:22, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

:Ah! Makes sense! Grammar and readability (er) Nazis are welcome here! It didn't occur for me to check this page's history to see if you'd been welcomed before. Oh well, alas, again (for the third time) welcome! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 19:35, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

== Periods and quotation marks ==

Hey TobyTheRobot, I saw your edit summary and thought I'd let you know that HRWiki style actually dictates that we don't follow the usual American standard for putting periods and commas inside quotation marks. See [[HRWiki:Manual_of_Style#Quotation_marks|this]]. So, that's why things are written that way. Talk atcha later, {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 16:55, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

:Well, don't I feel foolish. Can I ask why that is? Is putting punctuation outside of quotes standard elsewhere in the English speaking world? Is my way just "American?" I mean-- "American"?--[[User:TobyTheRobot|TobyTheRobot]] 21:40, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
::Actually, yes. In Britain, at least, the rule is to put periods and commas inside quotes only if they belong to the quoted material. For example: ''He once said, "Hustle and bustle are like my right and left arms."'' But would go outside if it were: Hustle and bustle are like my "right and left arms". In the last one, the period doesn't apply to the quoted material. We seem to use a similar standard here. (Dot com or someone else can correct me if I got this wrong; I never seem to be able to explain this rule very well.) {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:10, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
:::Gotcha. I'll do it that way then, although old habits die hard. :) Thanks for the heads-up --[[User:TobyTheRobot|TobyTheRobot]] 15:57, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

'''Reynold''' is a civilian contractor for the [[Cheat Commandos]]. He wears glasses and a fake tie, and his favorite drink is milk. In addition to the Reynold action figure, you can also buy Reynold's Apartment Extreme Playset. In the Cheat Commandos commercial, we learn that he once had a girlfriend who would buy his groceries for him, but she left him some time ago.

Reynold's first appearance as an animated character was in the Toon [[Shopping for Danger]]. He is unhappy with his job and wants to go on a mission with the other Cheat Commandos, believing that he could be a "good mission guy." However, according to [[Crackotage]], he can neither shoot nor fly, so if he were to go with them, he would probably die. In fact, all of the rest of the Commandos seem to treat him as though he were a kid, illustrated by his lesson about Appropriate Peer-2-Teen Choice Behaviors in [[Commandos in the Classroom]] after a frustrated Reynold treatened to go home and "get teen pregnant."

Reynold's tie and glasses are reminiscent of classic nerd [[Wikipedia:Drew Carey|Drew Carey]]. He suffers from [[Wikipedia:Strabismus|strabismus]], a muscular failure that causes the eyes to move in different directions when not wearing corrective glasses or lenses. He has a romantic interest in [[Foxface]], the only known female Commando. However, his attempts to "be one of the guys" have only led to embarrassment, as he is not good at swearing and he has never eaten [[Pizza|pizza]].

TobyTheRobot: Subjective edits to paragraph 2. I don't see the relation to his voice and Strong Sad's aside from the fact that they're both kinda whiny.

<div>subject: none</div>
Dear Strongbad, 
Do you have a secret Identity? cause you know that 
would be the kinda rockin' cool thing you'd have. 
Chris 
Laramie, Wy 
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad sings "Wy" as "why" in a soft high-pitched voice.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Chris, let me be frank. The term "rockin' cool" is so uncool it makes my face hurt.

''{clears screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, now all the "rockin' cool"s are off the screen.

''{He shrieks as he realizes what he's typed, and clears the screen again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' They're gone. Those things are vicious. Anyway Frank, I believe your question was about my secret identity. Well, let me ask you this: have you ever seen The Poopsmith and I in the same place at the same time?

''{Cut to a wide shot of the computer room. The Poopsmith is standing behind Strong Bad and to his right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Dun dun DUUUNH! That's right! It is I who dons the crappy orange gloves and shovels—

''{The Poopsmith jabs Strong Bad a couple of times with his shovel. Strong Bad stops typing and turns to face him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the?! What are you ''doing'' here? ''{shakes his fist a little as he talks}'' You ruined my scam, man! I was gonna have all of everyone believing that I was you and that the teeming pile of whatsit was really a smoldering pile of money covered in whatsit. How'd you get in here anyways?

''{Homestar Runner approaches from the left side of the computer, holding a hamburger.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I let him in. ''{to The Poopsmith}'' Here you go. ''{hands him the hamburger}'' Oh, ''{turns to Strong Bad}'' and you're out of mayo.

''{Homestar and The Poopsmith exit toward the left. Strong Bad turns and addresses the camera.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Is there like a sign on my door that says ''{makes a sweeping gesture}'' "Wanted: Everyone I hate. Inquire within"?

''{The King of Town approaches from the right side of the computer.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I didn't see one.

''{Strong Bad utters some frustrated gibberish and turns back to the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{resumes typing}'' So apparently I'm not The Poopsmith. But I got lots of secret identities. Lately, I've been using this one: Tip Tappers: Expensive Briefcase Carrier. I use Mr. Tappers when I'm on tour and I want to check into a hotel and not be bothered by legions of fans.

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand—make that Bubs' ''Motor Lodge''—at night. On the sign is a neon caricature of Bubs' head with three neon Z's next to it, each of which light up in cascading fashon. Bubs is wearing a nametag and Strong Bad has with him a briefcase. A sign-in book is on the counter.}''

'''BUBS:''' And what name will this room be under?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, Tip Tappers, please. Unless some girl asks what room Strong Bad's in. And she's at least a seven out of ten. Or uh ''{thinks}'' six if she's naked.

'''BUBS:''' That'll be nine hundred dollars Mr. ''{clears his throat loudly}'' Tappers.

''{Homestar emerges from behind the building, carrying an empty ice bucket and dressed in a robe, a gold shirt, and pink bunny slippers.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Is there an ice machine around here?

'''BUBS:''' Certainly, Mr. Dee Williams.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And then there's Vance Mudgeman. I use that identity when I drop in on my secret second family over in Broiter Grove. Ahh, those kids love Daddy Mudgeman.

''{Cut to the trailer home. Strong Bad is sitting in a green armchair watching TV. He is wearing a grease-stained wife-beater T-shirt and has a couple of days' growth of beard stubble on his face. Kids' laughter can be heard in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{to someone off screen}'' You get back here with that remote, Jeffrey Beffrey Mudgeman. I'm not afraid to smack— ''{holds up his glove menacingly}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Yes, well, you gotta be firm. ''{clears his throat}'' And then there's the secret identity I use to write my advice column for a popular women's magazine.

''{An issue of ''Scarfgirl'' appears from the bottom of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Using the pseudoname Cara Carabowditbowdit, I'm slowly but surely making the girls of the world cooler for all us dudes.

''{Cut to the journalist's office. Strong Bad sits at an old typewriter, wearing a brown wig with a skull and bone on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Dear Buttless in Bedstuy, Sounds like YOU need to play more video games, galpal. And not those girly ones where you pretend to be a dog or a frog neither. I'm talkin' about the explodey ones. The kind that make you dizzy when you play 'em. Then maybe your guy will stop taling about his ex. Eat a Steak, Cara Carabowditbowdit. ''{He finishes by typing "XOXOXO".}''

''{Cut to Marzipan's house. Marzipan and Homestar are sitting together on her couch, and Marzipan is reading ''Scarfgirl''.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{angrily}'' This lady doesn't know what she's talking about. And I don't like her pseudoname.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aw, you're probably just jealous 'cause she gets all the hot boys.

''{A crumpled ball of paper flies in from off screen and hits Homestar in the face.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Marzipan, mail's here.

''{He reaches down and picks it up.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' What's it say?

''{Homestar uncrumples it and reads the following. Strong Bad has scribbled over his own name.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No I don't. Strong Bad. I mean, Cara Carabowditbowdit.

'''MARZIPAN:''' See, I told you.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So you see? Secret identities aren't just for superheroes and Garth Brooks anymore. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have several butts to jettison from my home.

''{He gets up and goes off to the left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{grunts from off screen as he throws Homestar}''

''{Homestar flies across the screen and lands with a thud.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks for having me overrrrr!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{grunts from off screen as he throws the King.}''

''{The King, too, flies across the screen and lands with a thud.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Worst mayonnaise party everrrr!

''{The Poopsmith walks across while being prodded all the while by Strong Bad using a [[Strong Bad's Fondue Pot|fondue fork]].}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out.

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

==Easter Eggs==
*After Strong Bad says "Laramie.....Why?", click on the phrase to get a book of the same name, written by [[Beverly Sportsinterviews|Beverly]] and [[Leomard Sportsinterviews|Lem Sportsinterviews]].
*After Strong Bad types "So apparently I'm not The Poopsmith," click on the phrase to see a picture of the Poopsmith with Strong Bad's head, feet, and hands.
*While Strong Bad is checking in to Bubs' Motor Lodge, click on the reservations book to see it up close.
*Click on the Lappy at the end to see a scene with Homestar and Marzipan. (This was added a few hours after the email's release.)
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Maybe I should get me one of them pseudo-names.
:'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{leaning in from the side of the screen, drugged up on caffeine}'' It's nym! It's nym! It's pseudonym! Not pseudo-name! I can't take it any more! Nym nym nym! It's a Greek word for "name"! Pseudonym! Pseudonym! ''{leans back out}''

==Fun Facts==
{{checkstuffpage}}
===Explanations===
*Bedstuy is short for [[Wikipedia:Bedford-Stuyvesant|Bedford-Stuyvesant]], a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Brooklyn.
*A [[Wikipedia:Daemon (computer software)|daemon]], also called a service, is a background process that serves an important function in a computer system or network. Daemons are commonly used for such things as checking email and running web and [[Wikipedia:File Transfer Protocol|FTP]] servers on [[Wikipedia:Unix|Unix]]-based systems. The word "daemon" is properly pronounced "DEE-mon" (just like "demon").
*"Pseudoname" is a common misspelling of "[[Wikipedia:pseudonym|pseudonym]]," a fictitious name used as an alternative to one's legal name.
*A cowboy is featured on the cover of "Laramie... Why?" because [[Wikipedia:Laramie, Wyoming|Laramie]] is a popular setting for [[Wikipedia:westerns|westerns]].

===Trivia===
*Bubs' marquee reads:
<pre>BUBS' MOTOR
LODGE
(in small lettering:)
FORMERLY BUBSO'S CONCES5ION STAND</pre>
*Bubs' nametag reads:
<pre>My Name
BUBS</pre>
*Homestar's shirt reads:
<pre>I (heart)
TOXIC
WASTE</pre>
*Bub's Motor Lodge Registry reads:
<pre>
one double - mr. allen poe
PAID! queen suite - ms. cousteau
one king - mr. boyardee PAID!
PAID! smelly cot - mr. five freddy
posh suite - mr. chamberlain DISCO TAPE!
COMPED! one racecar bed - mr. dee williams
one grill - mr. tesmacher PAID TWICE!
PENCIL SHAVINGS!
</pre>

===Remarks===
*The sound when Strong Bad is poking the Poopsmith to make him leave is the "Drip" error sound from the old [[Wikipedia:Mac OS|Mac OS]].
*Strong Bad and The Poopsmith have actually appeared together several times in the past, most notably in [[big white face]], [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], and at the end of most [[Holiday Toons]].
*Mr. Tesmacher in Bubs' registry is probably [[The Cheat]], as it mentions his [[The King of Town's Grill|grill]], and it says he paid in pencil shavings, as he did in [[lackey]].
*Mr. Five Freddy is probably [[Coach Z]] for three reasons. One is that he uses the name of a hip-hop star. Another is that he pays with a disco tape, which is what he asked Marzipan for in Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 9.2. The last reason is that he rented a smelly cot, which is quite suitable for Coach Z.
*Mr. Boyardee is likely The King of Town, given his food-related pseudonym and the fact that he requests a King suite.

===Goofs===
*Strong Bad shows poor grammar when he says "The Poopsmith and I". It should be "The Poopsmith and ''me''". 
*The name "mr. allen poe" in Bub's register is a common misspelling of the name of American author Edgar Allan Poe.

===Inside References===
*The room in which Vance Mudgeman is sitting (with the moose lamp and "Born to be Danged" poster) is in a double-wide trailer, first seen in the email [[portrait]].
*"BUBSO'S CONCE5SION STAND" is a reference to [[geddup noise]].
*The racecar bed in Bubs' registry is a reference to [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 10.2]], where Homestar buys a racecar bed.
*Strong Bad prods the Poopsmith with a fondue fork to encourage him to leave. Homestar has borrowed [[Strong Bad's Fondue Pot|Strong Bad's fondue set]] at least once.
*Bubs' name tag is a reference to [[Puppets on the Road]], where Shark-Tooth Bubs says "My name Shark-Tooth Bubs."
*The words "DISCO TAPE" in Bubs' guestbook are an oblique reference to Disco Tech, mentioned in [[Homestar Quiz]] as the place where Bubs attends night classes.
*Homestar's housecoat and stubble were introduced in [[caper]].
*Strong Sad was first given caffeine in the email [[caffeine]].
*''[[Whaddaya Know, Haddiman?]]'' is playing on the TV in the Mudgeman home.

===Real-World References===
*The mention of Garth Brooks is a reference to his alter-ego, [[Wikipedia:Chris Gaines|Chris Gaines]].
*"Strongbad_email.wad" and "Initiate sbemail-refresh daemon" are both homages to the PC game, ''[[Wikipedia:Doom|Doom]]''. [[Wikipedia:Doom WAD|WAD files]] contain level, graphical, and sound-replacement files for the game.

*The sound when Strong Bad is poking the Poopsmith to make him leave is the "Drip" error sound from the old [[Wikipedia:Mac OS|Mac OS]].
*Strong Bad and The Poopsmith have actually appeared together several times in the past, most notably in [[big white face]], [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], and at the end of most [[Holiday Toons]].
*Mr. Tesmacher in Bubs' registry is probably [[The Cheat]], as it mentions his [[The King of Town's Grill|grill]], and it says he paid in pencil shavings, as he did in [[lackey]].
*Mr. Five Freddy is probably [[Coach Z]] for three reasons. One is that he uses the name of a hip-hop star. Another is that he pays with a disco tape, which is what he asked Marzipan for in Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 9.2. The last reason is that he rented a smelly cot, which is quite suitable for Coach Z.
*Mr. Boyardee is likely The King of Town, given his food-related pseudonym and the fact that he requests a King suite.

===Goofs===
*Strong Bad shows poor grammar when he says "The Poopsmith and I". It should be "The Poopsmith and ''me''". 
*The name "mr. allen poe" in Bub's register is a common misspelling of the name of American author Edgar Allan Poe.

===Inside References===

*The racecar bed in Bubs' registry is a reference to [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 10.2]], where Homestar buys a racecar bed.
*Strong Bad prods the Poopsmith with a fondue fork to encourage him to leave. Homestar has borrowed [[Strong Bad's Fondue Pot|Strong Bad's fondue set]] at least once.
*Bubs' name tag is a reference to [[Puppets on the Road]], where Shark-Tooth Bubs says "My name Shark-Tooth Bubs."
*The words "DISCO TAPE" in Bubs' guestbook are an oblique reference to Disco Tech, mentioned in [[Homestar Quiz]] as the place where Bubs attends night classes.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Initiate sbemail-refresh daemon. ''{pronounces it "day-MON"}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: none</div>
Dear Strongbad, 
Do you have a secret Identity? cause you know that 
would be the kinda rockin' cool thing you'd have. 
Chris 
Laramie, Wy 
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad sings "Wy" as "why" in a soft high-pitched voice.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Chris, let me be frank. The term "rockin' cool" is so uncool it makes my face hurt.

''{clears screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, now all the "rockin' cool"s are off the screen.

''{He shrieks as he realizes what he's typed, and clears the screen again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' They're gone. Those things are vicious. Anyway Frank, I believe your question was about my secret identity. Well, let me ask you this: have you ever seen The Poopsmith and I in the same place at the same time?

''{Cut to a wide shot of the computer room. The Poopsmith is standing behind Strong Bad and to his right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Dun dun DUUUNH! That's right! It is I who dons the crappy orange gloves and shovels—

''{The Poopsmith jabs Strong Bad a couple of times with his shovel. Strong Bad stops typing and turns to face him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the?! What are you ''doing'' here? ''{shakes his fist a little as he talks}'' You ruined my scam, man! I was gonna have all of everyone believing that I was you and that the teeming pile of whatsit was really a smoldering pile of money covered in whatsit. How'd you get in here anyways?

''{Homestar Runner approaches from the left side of the computer, holding a hamburger.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I let him in. ''{to The Poopsmith}'' Here you go. ''{hands him the hamburger}'' Oh, ''{turns to Strong Bad}'' and you're out of mayo.

''{Homestar and The Poopsmith exit toward the left. Strong Bad turns and addresses the camera.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Is there like a sign on my door that says ''{makes a sweeping gesture}'' "Wanted: Everyone I hate. Inquire within"?

''{The King of Town approaches from the right side of the computer.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I didn't see one.

''{Strong Bad utters some frustrated gibberish and turns back to the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{resumes typing}'' So apparently I'm not The Poopsmith. But I got lots of secret identities. Lately, I've been using this one: Tip Tappers: Expensive Briefcase Carrier. I use Mr. Tappers when I'm on tour and I want to check into a hotel and not be bothered by legions of fans.

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand—make that Bubs' ''Motor Lodge''—at night. On the sign is a neon caricature of Bubs' head with three neon Z's next to it, each of which light up in cascading fashon. Bubs is wearing a nametag and Strong Bad has with him a briefcase. A sign-in book is on the counter.}''

'''BUBS:''' And what name will this room be under?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, Tip Tappers, please. Unless some girl asks what room Strong Bad's in. And she's at least a seven out of ten. Or uh ''{thinks}'' six if she's naked.

'''BUBS:''' That'll be nine hundred dollars Mr. ''{clears his throat loudly}'' Tappers.

''{Homestar emerges from behind the building, carrying an empty ice bucket and dressed in a robe, a gold shirt, and pink bunny slippers.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Is there an ice machine around here?

'''BUBS:''' Certainly, Mr. Dee Williams.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And then there's Vance Mudgeman. I use that identity when I drop in on my secret second family over in Broiter Grove. Ahh, those kids love Daddy Mudgeman.

''{Cut to the trailer home. Strong Bad is sitting in a green armchair watching TV. He is wearing a grease-stained wife-beater T-shirt and has a couple of days' growth of beard stubble on his face. Kids' laughter can be heard in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{to someone off screen}'' You get back here with that remote, Jeffrey Beffrey Mudgeman. I'm not afraid to smack— ''{holds up his glove menacingly}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Yes, well, you gotta be firm. ''{clears his throat}'' And then there's the secret identity I use to write my advice column for a popular women's magazine.

''{An issue of ''Scarfgirl'' appears from the bottom of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Using the pseudoname Cara Carabowditbowdit, I'm slowly but surely making the girls of the world cooler for all us dudes.

''{Cut to the journalist's office. Strong Bad sits at an old typewriter, wearing a brown wig with a skull and bone on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Dear Buttless in Bedstuy, Sounds like YOU need to play more video games, galpal. And not those girly ones where you pretend to be a dog or a frog neither. I'm talkin' about the explodey ones. The kind that make you dizzy when you play 'em. Then maybe your guy will stop taling about his ex. Eat a Steak, Cara Carabowditbowdit. ''{He finishes by typing "XOXOXO".}''

''{Cut to Marzipan's house. Marzipan and Homestar are sitting together on her couch, and Marzipan is reading ''Scarfgirl''.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{angrily}'' This lady doesn't know what she's talking about. And I don't like her pseudoname.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aw, you're probably just jealous 'cause she gets all the hot boys.

''{A crumpled ball of paper flies in from off screen and hits Homestar in the face.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Marzipan, mail's here.

''{He reaches down and picks it up.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' What's it say?

''{Homestar uncrumples it and reads the following. Strong Bad has scribbled over his own name.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No I don't. Strong Bad. I mean, Cara Carabowditbowdit.

'''MARZIPAN:''' See, I told you.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So you see? Secret identities aren't just for superheroes and Garth Brooks anymore. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have several butts to jettison from my home.

''{He gets up and goes off to the left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{grunts from off screen as he throws Homestar}''

''{Homestar flies across the screen and lands with a thud.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks for having me overrrrr!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{grunts from off screen as he throws the King.}''

''{The King, too, flies across the screen and lands with a thud.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Worst mayonnaise party everrrr!

''{The Poopsmith walks across while being prodded all the while by Strong Bad using a [[Strong Bad's Fondue Pot|fondue fork]].}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out.

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

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: death metal</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
I'm in this death metal band at my school, and I am in need 
of some of your expert lyrical advice: what words sound 
really cool when you scream 'em at the top of your lungs? 
Dane 
Corvallis, OR 
</blockquote>

''{He says "Ding dong, string strong, bing bong" instead of "Dear Strong Bad."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Whoa! You must go to a pretty cool school. Most schools just have a marching band or maybe a jazz ensemble. But a death metal band? That's extracurriculariffic! ''{clears screen}'' Now let's see, first, you'd better be ugly, Dane. Or fat. The gift of death metal does not smile on the good looking. If there's any doubt, go ahead and hot-glue some corn flakes to your face. That'll do the trick. Now, I'm no geographist, but I don't think Oregon is anywhere near Scandinavia, which seems to be the only place left where death metal will get you any chicks. ''{clears screen}'' As for lyrics, you've got it all wrong! Screaming words at the ''top'' of your lungs is for people with blond hair. Ya know, words like 'tonite,' 'wooh-mon,' and the name of any street in L.A. ''{types "run 'webcam'"}'' Check it out! ''{clears screen. A window with a camera shot of Larry Palaroncini pops up.}''

'''LARRY PALARONCINI:''' ''{sings the following lines, which appear below the shot under the screen name "ladeezluvlarry71"}'' tonight! wooh-mon! we'll be drivin' down Sepulveda with the t-top down?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks, Larry.

'''LARRY PALARONCINI:''' ''{the words continue to appear below Larry's image}'' no prob, Strong Bad. HEY! i'm gonna b online later on playing an MMORPG if you wanna join my guild!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, maybe.

'''LARRY PALARONCINI:''' no wait! ''{the text "you kicked ladeezluvlarry71 offline" appears in red. The window closes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So for death metal, you want to scream from the bowels of your lungs. The bowels! Words like, ''{in a deep, sinister voice, and with the words in green, spooky letters}'' 'decay,' 'deranged,' 'decrepit,' and um, 'delouse.' In fact, you really can't go wrong with anything that starts with d-e. 'Cept for maybe

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' ''{in Teen Girl Squad voice}'' That was Brainkrieg. They got last place. ''{in normal voice}'' So let's recap: ugly, Nordic, bowels, d-e words. Now all you gotta do is ''{cut to Strong Mad in the Basement}'' hunch all upon yourself, pretend you're holding a mystical orb in each hand ''{Strong Mad holds out his hands and a circular outline appears in each}'' and let the evil flow forth. ''{The scene darkens. The circular outlines fade away. A drum beat begins.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{bounces up and down}'' DeVito. DENIRO!! DELUISE!!!! ''{cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing, imitating drum beat}'' Broodle-broodle-broodle blap-biddle-baddle! Broodle-broodle-broodle blap-biddle-blap! Whoa! Boy, do I ever need a quadruple bass pedal. And now, let's watch how it all comes together on the Half-Hour Death Metal Dungeon Hour! ''{Cut to the TV in the basement, on which the text "Half-Hour Death Metal Dungeon [Hour]" is seen. Strong Bad sits on the couch. Taranchula appears on the screen.}''

'''TARANCHULA:''' ''{in pseudo-Scandinavian accents}'' Ja, we are Taranchula!

'''DAVE OLAFTENSTON:''' You just saw videos from Vinger, Schlaugh-ter and the Winnie Wincent Inwasion.

'''SCHENKEL MCDOO:''' Ja, now here's a sneak peek at our new wideo. ''{lifts tone as if asking a question}''

''{The TV cuts to the video. We see a screw on some rusty metal. Cut to another scene with rusty metal. Cut to a piece of beef slithering across rusty metal.}''

'''TARANCHULA:''' You will submit to the decoupage!

''{Cut to four screws, one of which moves around quickly.}''

'''TARANCHULA:''' It was a death nail! (Death nail!)

''{Cut to the beef, which is stabbed by a nail and then bound with metal wires. The beef explodes.}''

'''TARANCHULA:''' Down with the decoupage!

''{Cut to the beef slithering over the rusty metal, this time in the opposite direction. Cut to Strong Bad on the couch.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Creeping. Rusty. Meat. Truly the heart and soul of all death metal. Except, now I feel like I really need to brush my teeth. Lookin' at all that rust. And beef. While I'm gone, complete this worksheet I've prepared for you aspiring death metal types. And, uh, careful with the hot-glue gun, Dane.

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Do do do do, email me some words, doo-doo, some different words.

''{Reading email}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Hey Strong Bad, 
 
I think you should make Homestar say 
stupid stuff, his voice is hilarious! 
 
Sincerely, 
Kevin Grumbles</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad mumbles instead of saying the word "Grumbles." He continues to do this throughout the email.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Uh, you don't really have to MAKE Homestar say stupid stuff, Grumbles, ''{mumbles it again}'' that's the guy's bread n' butter. Or at least his, uh, cracker n' mustard. No, the REAL challenge is to get Homestar to say something intelligent. ''{He clears the screen and continues typing.}'' If I can do that, then you owe me a batch of your special Grumblecakes. And if I fail, then I'll quit stealing the bricks from your house, one by one. Deal? Deal.

''{Strong Bad goes to get up from his chair and Homestar Runner is leaning over his shoulder.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{quietly}'' Hi, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{surprised}'' Ah, geez! Homestar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad, do you notice anything different about me today?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um, you broke into my house?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, I'm always doing that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{apparently unperturbed}'' Okay, what?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{standing on one foot}'' I'm standing on one foot!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, great. Look, I'll give you half a Grumblecake if you can say something intelligent.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What's that?

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's like a little cake with some, like, steam and sugar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, no, the other one.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, "intelligent"?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, yeah, intellivision.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know, something smart.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I think I can do that. ''{attempts to look shifty and cunning}'' ...What's in it for me?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{annoyed}'' Half a Grumblecake!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, right. Okay, here goes—

'''STRONG BAD:''' No wait, put this stuff on... It'll add to the illusion.

''{Strong Bad gives Homestar Runner a white lab coat, black-rimmed glasses with masking tape, and a test tube. Homestar uses the test tube as if it was a microphone and he was interviewing Strong Bad.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa, check me out, Strong Bad, I look a-smart!

'''STRONG BAD:''' You sure do, stupid. Now say something.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{smugly} And'' I'm standing on one foot!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{urging}'' Come on, say something smart! You can do it!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Science!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, that's pretty good. Keep going!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Science again! I said science again!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's move away from science. Try math.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Plus two.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, this isn't going—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hundred!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{groans}'' I need to get my hands on some of them Grumblecakes! Maybe if I employ a little reverse psychologies... If I ask a stupid enough question, I'll get an intelligent answer! ''{clears throat}'' I say, there, Homestar, butt's twelve by pies?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh, yes! I got Strong Bad to say something stupid! ''{triumphantly}'' The Grumblecakes will be mine!

''(Homestar runs off.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?! What the crap just happened?! Is it possible that I was just... ''outsmarted'' by Homestar Runner?! ''{typing, shouting, and raising his fist}'' I'LL GET YOU KEVIN GRUMBLES!!!

''{The Cheat enters with a tray of The Cheatcakes.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Get that mess outta here! I don't want none o' those Cheatcakes! ''{He smacks the tray of The Cheatcakes out of The Cheat's hands.}''

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

''{The Cheat exits dejectedly.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{apologetically}'' No, wait, The Cheat, come back! ''{The Cheat comes back}'' Will you, um, fix me some... mustard crackers?

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

''{The Cheat exits again. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

The Homestar Runner Mysfit-steries

TobyTheRobot — Wed, 11 Jan 2006 06:04:59 GMT

TobyTheRobot: Subjective edits to prose that I think make the article read better

[[Image:Mysfit-steries2.PNG|thumb|The gang in high school]]
'''"The Homestar Runner Mysfit-steries"''' is a [[Wikipedia:Scooby Doo|Scooby Doo]]-like cartoon written by [[A. Chimendez|Youdbetterbelieveit Chimendez]] that represents [[Strong Bad]]'s memory of when he, [[Strong Mad]], [[Homestar Runner]], and [[Marzipan]] were teenagers in the [[Strong Bad Email]] "[[highschool]]". Common plot threads apparently included debating the existence of "mysterious," as well as Strong Bad and Strong Mad's attempts to emancipate Homestar from his ridiculous striped pants. At Homestar's insistance, they played in a band "just to be safe." Each of the characters bears a striking resemblance to a Scooby Doo character: Strong Bad looks like [[Wikipedia:Norville "Shaggy" Rogers|Shaggy]], Homestar looks like [[Wikipedia:Fred Jones (fictional character)|Fred]], Strong Mad looks like [[Wikipedia:Velma Dinkley|Velma]], and Marzipan looks like [[Wikipedia:Daphne Blake|Daphne]].

As Strong Bad states, he has an "extremely unphotographic" memory. With that in mind, it's unlikely that this account of the characters' pasts can be considered canon.

There's nothing here yet, but make sure to watch this space for all the cool stuff I'll probably never get around to adding to it!

--OMG TEH UPDATE!!! January 6, 2006.--

So I was looking at my bare user page, trying to decide what to do with it, when I discovered that I have 89 pageviews somehow. Who the crap is looking at this user page anyways? Are they pissed off when they see that there's nothing here? It kinda blows my mind.

Now you got me all cheesed off. My focus is all... croakus'd. I'll update this later. F'real.

[[Image:reynold eyes.PNG|thumb|right|220px|Without the Glasses]]

'''Reynold''' is a civilian contractor for the [[Cheat Commandos]]. He wears glasses and a fake tie, and his favorite drink is milk. In addition to the Reynold action figure, you can also buy Reynold's Apartment Extreme Playset. In the Cheat Commandos commercial, we learn that he once had a girlfriend who would buy his groceries for him, but she left him some time ago.

Reynold's first appearance as an animated character was in the Toon [[Shopping for Danger]]. He is unhappy with his job and wants to go on a mission with the other Cheat Commandos, believing that he could be a "good mission... guy." However, according to [[Crackotage]], he can neither shoot nor fly, so if he were to go with them, he would probably die. In fact, all of the rest of the Commandos seem to treat him as though he were a kid, including teaching him about Appropriate Peer-2-Teen Choice Behaviors in [[Commandos in the Classroom]], after he said he was going to go home and "get teen pregnant".

Reynold's tie and glasses are reminiscent of classic nerd [[Wikipedia:Drew Carey|Drew Carey]], and his high-pitched, somewhat whiny voice is similar to [[Strong Sad]]'s. He suffers from [[Wikipedia:Strabismus|strabismus]], a muscular failure that causes the eyes to move in different directions when not wearing corrective glasses or lenses. He has a romantic interest in [[Foxface]], the only known female Commando. However, his attempts to "be one of the guys" have only led to embarrassment, as he is not good at swearing and he has never eaten [[Pizza|pizza]].

Crackotage

TobyTheRobot — Fri, 06 Jan 2006 06:24:14 GMT

TobyTheRobot: I was gonna reword this, but I figured we should delete it; he may go right back to speaking in couplets in the next C.C. cartoon.

[[Image:Crackotage2.PNG|thumb|right|140px|"I think my rhymes are truly broke! Broke, broke, broke, broke, broke, broke, broke! Hoo-hoo, hweh-hweh!"]]

'''Crackotage''' is a member of the [[Cheat Commandos]]. He is a jet pilot (he's that guy that flies that plane) and possibly a master locksmith. His name implies that his main roles are sabotage and infiltration. He saved [[Gunhaver]], [[Silent Rip]], [[Fightgar]], and [[Firebert]] from exhaustion when they were in the secret desert by dropping [[Cheat Commandos O's Cereal|Cheat Commandos...O's]] from his plane.

He speaks in rhyming couplets (all ending with a four-syllable laugh), in what is almost certainly a parody of [http://www.joeheadquarters.com/charlist_joes3.shtml#ROADBLOCK Roadblock] from the cartoon version of ''G.I. Joe'' (of which "Cheat Commandos" is a parody), and [[Wikipedia:Blaster (Transformers)|Blaster]] from the original ''[[Wikipedia:Transformers series|Transformers]]'' cartoon, who also did this. It's worth noting, however, that rather than actually sounding a lot like Roadblock, Crackotage's voice is very similar to that of Jazz from "Transformers" (voiced by Scatman Crothers), who ''didn't'' speak in rhyme, yet this too seems intentional, given the label on his toy packaging, "listens to jazz". Another "Transformers" reference could be how his airplane resembles Starscream.

== Transcript ==
''{Open to Cheat Commandos headquarters; a title which reads "'MOVIE NIGHT!' written by A. Chimendez Jr." appears. Cut to some Cheat Commandos at [[The Screen]].}''

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' Movie night is my favorite night. I think it is my favorite night. Hee hee hoo hoo!

'''SILENT RIP:''' Are you even trying anymore?

''{Crackotage looks offended and sad.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' All right boys, time for a little R&R. Tonight we've got the old family favorite ''Pony Fights 2''!!!

''{the lights dim, and the big screen cuts to the green rating screen. It reads:}''
<blockquote style="background:#0C0; color:#FFF; padding:1em; width:500px; border:none; font-weight:bold; text-align:center; font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">THE FOLLOWING FILM HAS BEEN APPROVED FOR

</blockquote>

'''EVERYBODY:''' Yay! Yeah!

'''SILENT RIP:''' All right! PG-13!

'''GUNHAVER:''' Uh, sorry Reynold, ''{He flicks the lights back on.}'' I'm afraid lights-out for you is at oh-now hundred hours!

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Yeah, all that cuss-language might give you nightmares. Ah-ha ha ha.

'''REYNOLD:''' Oh, I can handle it, why I can even swear a cuss myself! A-hem. Diaper biscuits.

'''OTHER COMMANDOS:''' ''{unrestrained laughter}''

'''REYNOLD:''' Oh, I can't do anything right. I might as well go home and get teen pregnant.

''{The other commandos gasp, the Blue Las-Alert siren sounds once.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Easy there, Cheat Cuss-mando, you just made an inappropriate peer-to-teen choice behavior!

'''REYNOLD:''' A whaaa?

''{cut to the black and white Commandos in the Classroom logo, which looks like Reynold in a mortarboard cap pointing a pointer at an A+}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{singing}'' Commandos in the Classroom!

''{Cut to another black-and-white slide that reads "LESSON 4: INAPPROPRIATE PEER-2-TEEN CHOICE BEHAVIORS". At the bottom in fine print it reads "*TEACHERS, USE THIS TIME TO CATCH A NAP OR HAVE A SMOKE."}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Lesson four: Inappropriate peer-to-teen choice behaviors!

''{Cut back to Gunhaver and Reynold in Cheat Commandos HQ}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Here, Reynold, lemme show you.

''{Gunhaver points the remote at the screen, which shows two ponies fighting in a field for a moment, then snows out to a diagram of a person's head showing the brain. The other commandos cheer for a second, then groan as the scene changes.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' I was watchin' the ponies...

'''GUNHAVER:''' The brain is divided into two halves: ''{The brain in the diagram gets a jagged line down the middle}'' the good half ''{A dotted line points to the left half saying "GOOD HALF"}'' and the evil half. ''{A dotted line points to the right half saying "EVIL HALF.}'' The good half likes positive things, like Self-Esteem, ''{the word "Self-Esteem" appears in the middle of the screen and moves through the mouth into the "good" half of the brain.}'' Oreo Cheesecake, ''{again, the words appear and move through the mouth and up into the brain}'' Bringing Your Old Man a Cold One, ''{again, then cut to a close-up of Gunhaver}'' and all our playsets and toys. ''{Gunhaver smiles a big grin toward the camera. Cut back to the diagram.}'' But the evil half likes ''{as each of the next four words is said, it appears from the "evil" half of the brain and moves to the right side of the screen}'' Littering! Loitering! Latering! Lootering! And all the other stuff that causes inappropriate peer-to-teen choice behaviors! ''{The other words vanish and are replaced by "Inappropriate peer-2-teen choice behaviors".}''

''{Cut back to Gunhaver and Reynold.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' But how do ''I'' keep from making peer-to-teen choice awards, Gunhaver?

'''GUNHAVER:''' If you find yourself in a sticky ''{makes "finger quotes"}'' teenage situation, just remember these three pro-positive life tools:

''{Cut to Silent Rip in a classroom, next to a Blue Laser minion. Both appear to be taking tests.}''

'''BLUE LASER MINION:''' What did you get for number four, sir?

'''SILENT RIP:''' Uhhhh...

''{Gunhaver suddenly enters the screen from the bottom.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''Freeze!'' ''{The screen cuts to a diagram of a male body with "PRO-POSITIVE LIFE TOOL" written next to it, and a giant "#1" appears next to it.}'' Pro-positive life tool number one: ''{Gunhaver appears on the screen}'' say you have one of any debilitating gold rush era diseases! ''{He pulls out a book labeled "BIG BOOK OF DEBILITATING GOLD RUSH ERA DISEASES", and "BBODGRED" on the spine.}''

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

'''BLUE LASER MINION:''' Come on, man. I thought we were bros!

'''SILENT RIP:''' I can't! I have the typhoid! Or the cholera!

'''BLUE LASER MINION:''' Never mind. Your answers are gross, bro.

''{Silent Rip smiles. Cut back to Gunhaver and Reynold, the latter of whom is now wearing a false beard and a prospector's hat, and is holding a mining pick.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' Gold rush era diseases, eh?

'''GUNHAVER:''' Now you're getting it!

''{Cut to the supermarket, where two Blue Laser Minions are holding a lot of bottles labeled "WINE COOLA," some of them in their pants, and Fightgar is standing nearby.}''

'''FIRST BLUE LASER MINION:''' Hey, man. We need you to put these wine coolers down your pants... er, down your headband.

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Oh, um, uh...

''{Again, Gunhaver suddenly jumps onto the screen.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''STOP!'' ''{The diagram of the body returns, but now, it's a woman's body. "#2" appears on the side and "EN SAP" at the bottom.}'' Pro-positive life tool numero two: ''{silhouettes of the two Blue Laser minions and Gunhaver appear with question marks over them. The minions are labeled "INAPPROPRIATORS"}'' Envision your Inappropriators ''{Gunhaver is labeled "STILL JUST YOU" and the minions turn into pizza slices.}'' as giant slices of pizza.

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

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Ah-ha ha ha! You're deep-dish! Ah-ha ha! And you've got extra cheese! Ah-ha ha ha ha! Oh, pepperoni!

'''FIRST BLUE LASER MINION:''' What's with this guy?

'''SECOND BLUE LASER MINION:''' He sounds crazy. Should we shoot him?

'''FIRST BLUE LASER MINION:''' Abso-total-lutely!

''{The second minion pulls out a large gun and aims it at Fightgar, who looks startled. The scene cuts back to Gunhaver and Reynold, who is now wearing a baseball cap and holding a bat, with a ball sitting next to him, and we can hear shooting over the next exchange.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' But Gunhaver, I've never had pizza before!

'''GUNHAVER:''' But you know what it looks like, don't you?

''{The diagram of the body, which now appears to be a bear, appears over the scene this time. "#3" appears on the right. Firebert and Blue Laser Commander lean back to make room for the diagram}''

''{He stops firing.}'' But look out for surface-to-air antioxidant missiles! ''{Firebert jumps out of the way as three missiles, labelled "100% GREEN TEA" and painted with skulls-and-crossbones, just barely miss the Commander.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Ah!

Commandos in the Classroom

TobyTheRobot — Fri, 06 Jan 2006 06:19:09 GMT

TobyTheRobot: I figure this should make the joke obvious to anyone who's reading the transcript

The [[Cheat Commandos]] teach about inappropriate peer-2-teen choice behaviors.

== Transcript ==
''{Open to Cheat Commandos headquarters; a title which reads "'MOVIE NIGHT!' written by A. Chimendez Jr." appears. Cut to some Cheat Commandos at [[The Screen]].}''

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' Movie night is my favorite night. I think it is my favorite night. Hee hee hoo hoo!

'''SILENT RIP:''' Are you even trying anymore?

''{Crackotage looks offended and sad.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' All right boys, time for a little R&R. Tonight we've got the old family favorite ''Pony Fights 2''!!!

''{the lights dim, and the big screen cuts to the green rating screen. It reads:}''
<blockquote style="background:#0C0; color:#FFF; padding:1em; width:500px; border:none; font-weight:bold; text-align:center; font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">THE FOLLOWING FILM HAS BEEN APPROVED FOR 
CERTAIN AUDIENCES

IT BE RATED

|-
| style="border:1px #FFF solid;" | PG-13

|}
</blockquote>

'''EVERYBODY:''' Yay! Yeah!

'''SILENT RIP:''' All right! PG-13!

'''GUNHAVER:''' Uh, sorry Reynold, ''{He flicks the lights back on.}'' I'm afraid lights-out for you is at oh-now hundred hours!

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Yeah, all that cuss-language might give you nightmares. Ah-ha ha ha.

'''REYNOLD:''' Oh, I can handle it, why I can even swear a cuss myself! A-hem. Diaper biscuits.

'''OTHER COMMANDOS:''' ''{unrestrained laughter}''

'''REYNOLD:''' Oh, I can't do anything right. I might as well go home and get teen pregnant.

''{The other commandos gasp, the Blue Las-Alert siren sounds once.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Easy there, Cheat Cuss-mando, you just made an inappropriate peer-to-teen choice behavior!

'''REYNOLD:''' A whaaa?

''{cut to the black and white Commandos in the Classroom logo, which looks like Reynold in a mortarboard cap pointing a pointer at an A+}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{singing}'' Commandos in the Classroom!

''{Cut to another black-and-white slide that reads "LESSON 4: INAPPROPRIATE PEER-2-TEEN CHOICE BEHAVIORS". At the bottom in fine print it reads "*TEACHERS, USE THIS TIME TO CATCH A NAP OR HAVE A SMOKE."}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Lesson four: Inappropriate peer-to-teen choice behaviors!

''{Cut back to Gunhaver and Reynold in Cheat Commandos HQ}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Here, Reynold, lemme show you.

''{Gunhaver points the remote at the screen, which shows two ponies fighting in a field for a moment, then snows out to a diagram of a person's head showing the brain. The other commandos cheer for a second, then groan as the scene changes.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' I was watchin' the ponies...

'''GUNHAVER:''' The brain is divided into two halves: ''{The brain in the diagram gets a jagged line down the middle}'' the good half ''{A dotted line points to the left half saying "GOOD HALF"}'' and the evil half. ''{A dotted line points to the right half saying "EVIL HALF.}'' The good half likes positive things, like Self-Esteem, ''{the word "Self-Esteem" appears in the middle of the screen and moves through the mouth into the "good" half of the brain.}'' Oreo Cheesecake, ''{again, the words appear and move through the mouth and up into the brain}'' Bringing Your Old Man a Cold One, ''{again, then cut to a close-up of Gunhaver}'' and all our playsets and toys. ''{Gunhaver smiles a big grin toward the camera. Cut back to the diagram.}'' But the evil half likes ''{as each of the next four words is said, it appears from the "evil" half of the brain and moves to the right side of the screen}'' Littering! Loitering! Latering! Lootering! And all the other stuff that causes inappropriate peer-to-teen choice behaviors! ''{The other words vanish and are replaced by "Inappropriate peer-2-teen choice behaviors".}''

''{Cut back to Gunhaver and Reynold.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' But how do ''I'' keep from making peer-to-teen choice awards, Gunhaver?

'''GUNHAVER:''' If you find yourself in a sticky ''{makes "finger quotes"}'' teenage situation, just remember these three pro-positive life tools:

''{Cut to Silent Rip in a classroom, next to a Blue Laser minion. Both appear to be taking tests.}''

'''BLUE LASER MINION:''' What did you get for number four, sir?

'''SILENT RIP:''' Uhhhh...

''{Gunhaver suddenly enters the screen from the bottom.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''Freeze!'' ''{The screen cuts to a diagram of a male body with "PRO-POSITIVE LIFE TOOL" written next to it, and a giant "#1" appears next to it.}'' Pro-positive life tool number one: ''{Gunhaver appears on the screen}'' say you have one of any debilitating gold rush era diseases! ''{He pulls out a book labeled "BIG BOOK OF DEBILITATING GOLD RUSH ERA DISEASES", and "BBODGRED" on the spine.}''

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

'''BLUE LASER MINION:''' Come on, man. I thought we were bros!

'''SILENT RIP:''' I can't! I have the typhoid! Or the cholera!

'''BLUE LASER MINION:''' Never mind. Your answers are gross, bro.

''{Silent Rip smiles. Cut back to Gunhaver and Reynold, the latter of whom is now wearing a false beard and a prospector's hat, and is holding a mining pick.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' Gold rush era diseases, eh?

'''GUNHAVER:''' Now you're getting it!

''{Cut to the supermarket, where two Blue Laser Minions are holding a lot of bottles labeled "WINE COOLA," some of them in their pants, and Fightgar is standing nearby.}''

'''FIRST BLUE LASER MINION:''' Hey, man. We need you to put these wine coolers down your pants... er, down your headband.

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Oh, um, uh...

''{Again, Gunhaver suddenly jumps onto the screen.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''STOP!'' ''{The diagram of the body returns, but now, it's a woman's body. "#2" appears on the side and "EN SAP" at the bottom.}'' Pro-positive life tool numero two: ''{silhouettes of the two Blue Laser minions and Gunhaver appear with question marks over them. The minions are labeled "INAPPROPRIATORS"}'' Envision your Inappropriators ''{Gunhaver is labeled "STILL JUST YOU" and the minions turn into pizza slices.}'' as giant slices of pizza.

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

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Ah-ha ha ha! You're deep-dish! Ah-ha ha! And you've got extra cheese! Ah-ha ha ha ha! Oh, pepperoni!

'''FIRST BLUE LASER MINION:''' What's with this guy?

'''SECOND BLUE LASER MINION:''' He sounds crazy. Should we shoot him?

'''FIRST BLUE LASER MINION:''' Abso-total-lutely!

''{The second minion pulls out a large gun and aims it at Fightgar, who looks startled. The scene cuts back to Gunhaver and Reynold, who is now wearing a baseball cap and holding a bat, with a ball sitting next to him, and we can hear shooting over the next exchange.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' But Gunhaver, I've never had pizza before!

'''GUNHAVER:''' But you know what it looks like, don't you?

'''REYNOLD:''' ''{smiling}'' I think so!

'''GUNHAVER:''' Now you're getting it!

''{Cut to an alley next to a building labeled "Seedy Bar". Firebert walks by in the background, while the Blue Laser Commander is standing next to a building.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' ''{Jumping out}'' Hey, kid! Wanna smoke some ''candy'' ''{holds up chocolate bar}'' with me?

''{The diagram of the body, which now appears to be a bear, appears over the scene this time. "#3" appears on the right. Firebert and Blue Laser Commander lean back to make room for the diagram}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Pro-positive life tool number three: ''{The diagram and "#3" disappear, and Silent Rip appears from the side of the building and throws a smoke bomb.}'' Have your light infantry create a thick smokescreen. ''{The commander starts hacking and coughing, while Firebert pulls out a gun and shoots it at the commander.}'' Then lay down some suppressive fire until the snipers are in position. ''{He stops firing.}'' But look out for surface-to-air antioxidant missiles! ''{Firebert jumps out of the way as three missiles, labelled "100% GREEN TEA" and painted with skulls-and-crossbones, just barely miss the Commander.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Ah!

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Then by the time Reinforcements shows up...

''{[Reinforcements] shows up.}''

'''REINFORCEMENTS:''' Hey, guys.

''{Cut to a screen with Gunhaver.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' ...Your mom ''{an image of a station wagon appears}'' should be waiting for you in the bus turnaround! ''{The theme music plays. Cut back to Gunhaver and Reynold.}'' So, do you think you're ready to make ''{more finger quotes}'' appropriate inappropriate whatever thingies now?

'''REYNOLD:''' Yes sir! I'm gonna get high on life!

''{Silent Rip walks up.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' We're about to start the movie! You guys coming?

'''GUNHAVER:''' What do you think, Reynold?

'''REYNOLD:''' ''{thinks a moment, then grins}'' I've got dysentery!

'''GUNHAVER:''' Good job, little buddy! ''{pushes Reynold offscreen to stage left, then walks with Silent Rip to stage right}'' Man, I can't wait to see some serious pony carnage!

''{Fade to the Commandos in the Classroom logo again.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{singing}'' Commandos in the classroom!

''{Cut to an image that reads "NEXT WEEK... LESSON 5: LISTEN YOU GUYS, YOU SERIOUSLY NEED TO START SHOWERING EVERYDAY"}'' [sic]

Teen Girl Squad

TobyTheRobot — Sun, 01 Jan 2006 05:19:03 GMT

TobyTheRobot: Some random editing. I was just in the mood.

[[Image:TGSmenuwith10.PNG|thumb|Teen Girl Squad menu]]
[[Image:teengirlsquad.png|thumb|The girls are looking SO GOOD!]]

'''Teen Girl Squad''' began in the [[Strong Bad Email]] "[[comic]]," when a girl named Brittany asked if [[Strong Bad]] could make a comic strip about her four friends: Virginia, Joy, Kristin, and Jennifer. Strong Bad's spur of the moment comic strip soon became a series of its own. Teen Girl Squad centers on four teenage girls — [[Cheerleader]], [[So and So]], [[What's Her Face]], and [[The Ugly One]] — who like to buy clothes, attract cute boys and look "SO GOOD!" Unfortunately, they are often subjected to the random dangers of Strong Bad's overactive imagination. Being killed doesn't seem to be a problem for the girls, however, for they are always back for the next episode.

*Each time you load the Teen Girl Squad menu page you get a different quote from a different girl. They are:
**The Ugly One: "teacher just called me 'young man'"
**The Ugly One: "i'm in love with liquid paper."
**The Ugly One: "i have a crush on EVERY BOY!"
**What's Her Face: "nothing is cool."
**So and So: "on a roll with Honor Roll"
**Cheerleader: "you can't be popular AND smart"
**Cheerleader: "lets have a boy/girl party!"
**All except Cheerleader: "SO GOOD!"

*In addition to the different quotes, Cheerleader wears a different shirt each time you load the menu page. They are:
**"solid gold"
**"party thyme"
**"hott type"
**"rich grrl"
**"2 cool 4 u"
**"boy monger" (with :P face)
**"2 cute"

*The Ahnberg Hand [[Fonts|font]] used for Strong Bad's handwriting contains a few European-style slashes, including lowercase 'q' which [[The Brothers Chaps]] have been known to "Americanize". However, they have not altered the European seven in the current TGS main menu.

Dear Strong Bad, ''{Strong Bad repeats this line three times with different emphases, stopping halfway through the third time saying "Hmm, I'll go with that one."}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Well, this morning, Coach, I've been mostly using this one: Hey fish! Hey fiish! I'm gonna, I'm gonna recommend that you guys come up here in the boat. We've got a, uh, a keg! Of worms! And, uh...phytoplankton! ... Come on! Anybody who's everybody is up in here!

'''COACH Z''': I don't think that's gonna work with a stocked pond. You got any type of jig you could try on there?

'''STRONG BAD''': Oh, yeah! I got ''this'' jig! ''(starts singing and doing a little hip-swiveling dance)'' Come on and get in the boat, fish! Come on and get in the boat, fish fish! Come on and get in the boat, fish! ''{fish start leaping into the boat}'' Get in the boat!

'''COACH Z''': Oh! They got in the boat! ... Fish fish!

''{Cut back to Compy}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{typing}'' Actually, David, it may surprise you to hear this but, uh... I don't know anything about fishing, man. You're welcome to try the jig thing if you want. Though it might work better with the ladies. ''{stops typing}'' You know, like, {''singing''} come on and come to my house, ladies! Come on and come to my house, girls girls! ''{stops singing, resumes typing}'' Actually, ''{chuckles shyly}'' I don't really know anything about the ladies either. I mean I do! I mean—WHGT! JGTH! YES I'M AWESOME!

''{Strong Bad runs out of the room. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end, click on the word "fishing" to play [[Fishing Challenge '91]] with Strong Bad.
:''{The screen of the Compy displays the title screen for "Fishing Challenge '91"}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Whoa, look at that title screen! Man, the 386 never ceases to amaze me!
:''{After you press the spacebar, the screen shows the instructions on how to play}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' No way! This is the pinnacle of graphics. They're never gonna get any better than this. I bet the sound's just as good, too!

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*The "Fishing Challenge '91" Easter Egg did not exist when the email originally came out. It was added months later.

===Remarks===
*This is the first Strong Bad Email that immediately cuts to another scene, instead of Strong Bad responding first.
*This is also the first time Strong Bad has ever openly admitted to knowing nothing about the ladies.
*Coach Z's eyes are a little brighter than their regular black.
*Strong Bad has a tan line while in the boat. This suggests at some time, he was wearing a shirt.

===Glitches===
*If you get the score up to 10,000, it goes back to 1,000. You still have 10,000 points—it just doesn't display the last digit.
*If you press "j" and "l" very fast in Fishing Challenge '91, the noise will become staticky and you won't be able to hear Strong Bad say anything.
*When you play the game at the end, the contrast knobs still work, except the screen turns whiter.

===Inside References===
*The sound at the beginning and end of the fishing scene is also used in [[A Jorb Well Done]] while Coach Z is dreaming.

===Real-World References===
*This email may be a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Bert and Ernie|Bert and Ernie]] skit called "Bert and Ernie Go Fishing." In the skit, Ernie gets fish to leap into the boat by calling, "Heeeere fishy fishy fishy!" Bert eventually tries this technique too, louder and louder. Finally, a shark jumps in and says, "You called?"
*The "Fishing Challenge '91" game resembles many early '90s PC games that featured grainy digital voice and pixelated "photo-realistic" graphics with limited frames.

== DVD Version ==
*While the Fishing Game isn't playable, you can still watch Strong Bad play it.
**There's also additional dialog. The transcript of the additional dialog (which picks up right where the Easter egg transcript above ends), is given below.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

=== Easter Egg Transcript ===

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

'''MATT:''' ''{joining in with Strong Bad}'' to the back as I check. This is a good one. We should turn ''that'' into a hip-hop song.

'''MIKE:''' This, um, one, our friend Jamie was—

'''MATT:''' No, this was when Nat was here. Nat was the one tha—

'''MIKE:''' This was the one when Jamie was here!

'''MATT:''' Jamie was there for the, uh, leftover emails, Unused Emails.

'''MIKE:''' Ohhh, yeah, this is Nat. That's right.

'''MATT:''' Nat was here.

'''MIKE:''' I forgot, sorry. Sorry, Jamie. Sorry, Nat.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' I get you guys mixed up sometimes.

''{Matt laughs a little}''

'''MIKE:''' So.

'''MATT:''' Here it comes.

'''MIKE:''' Ahhh.

'''MATT:''' So that's, our—

'''MIKE:''' Fishing with John.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, reference to Jim Jarmusch episode of Fishing with John, which you should all buy on-

'''MIKE:''' ''{imitating John Lurie}'' Why am I here?

'''MATT:''' ''{imitating John Lurie}'' Why am I here? ''{stops}'' That was a good one.

'''MIKE:''' Uhh, I enjoyed making the uh, I like the mist. The mist on the bottom there.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, the mist is really good. Those cattails—

'''MIKE:''' The ripples along the boat. This is, and we had to do a whole new view of Coach Z there.

'''MATT:''' It's a whole new way to experience Coach Z.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, this is a ''{Matt says something that's hard to make out}'' This is some scenery that's never happened, never been reused.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. We never ended up—

'''MIKE:''' There's very few... most things, we end up reusing, but this, we've never reused. I think I might, uh, reuse it next week.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Next week's email, they're gonna be in a lake!

'''MATT:''' ''{weak voice}'' Okay, Mike. Look, there, it's funny.

'''MIKE:''' He's got, uh, a farmer's tan of a tank-top.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, look at those fish. Those fish are kind of funny looking. ''{imitating John Lurie}'' Why am I here? ''{pause}'' This is one of those other times, it's another recurring trend, with Strong Bad sort of tipping his hand in letting you know that he doesn't know anything about women. Uh, which I don't know why he ends up doing a lot, ''{Mike laughs in the background}'' but he kinda has to let you see his sensitive side, I guess. And then, whgt! Jgth!

=== Fun Facts ===
*"Fishing with John" was a satirical fishing show starring, written, and directed by independent musician [[Wikipedia:John Lurie|John Lurie]], known for both its interesting selection of guest stars (including director [[Wikipedia:Jim Jarmusch|Jim Jarmusch]]) and very dry sense of humor. It only ran for 6 episodes and is considered something of a cult classic.
*Mike mentioning he'd like to reuse the lake is foreshadowing for [[montage]], when he finally would use the scene again. Montage was released in the short time after this commentary was recorded, and before the box set of [[strongbad_email.exe|DVD]]s were released.

'''STRONG BAD''': Well, this morning, Coach, I've been mostly using this one: Hey fish! Hey fiish! I'm gonna, I'm gonna recommend that you guys come up here in the boat. We've got a, uh, a keg! Of worms! And, uh...phytoplankton! ... Come on! Anybody who's everybody is up in here!

Talk:little questions

TobyTheRobot — Sun, 01 Jan 2006 04:07:49 GMT

TobyTheRobot: Who's checkin' that e-mail?

== Closed STUFF ==
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.

===Monty Python and the Holy Subtitles (Declined)===
The pseudo-Swedish subtitles are very (too?) similar to the opening credits of Monty Python's Holy Grail.
*'''Decline''' There is a very key difference between them. In Monty Python, the subtitles are meant to look like they're in a foreign language when they're not. In little questions, they are meant to look English, translating pseudo-English being spoken to a Swede. That's not close enough for me. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 05:17, 14 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second''' --[[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 08:00, 14 Mar 2005 (CST)
*'''Decline.''' Entirely different subtitle gags - they just happen to share a common language. Also, the Holy Grail subtitles are not accompanied by the original audio that the subtitles are translating (I *know* there isn't an original audio track - I'm making a point here). And one more thing, the subtitles in 'little questions' are in English, not even QUASI-psuedo-Swedish. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 23:03, 14 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''"Second."''' --[[User:Aussie Evil|Aussie Evil]] 13:07, 15 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 18:49, 18 Mar 2005 (MST)

==Who's checkin' that E-Mail?==
It sounds to me like in his little pre-email (prE-Mail?) song that he's saying
"All the ladies want to know, a-who's checkin' that E-mail (beat) with Strong Bad?"
I'm kinda deaf, so I may be wrong on this. Can someone else see if they hear the same thing?

TobyTheRobot:

I'm transcribing the new manual now! <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 22:23, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

== Hold on! ==

I love 80's music and Phil Collins songs and I ''always'' thought that the lyrics to "In the Air Tonight" were "I can feel it coming in the air tonight, hold on." Then tomstiff posted the link to the lyrics, and it turns out the lyrics are actually "I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord." But the description of the Bendini Sisters says "hold on" so.... did the Bros. Chaps make the same mistake I did? <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 20:58, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

"Another green salad, another iced tea" is a lyric from "Tunic (Song For Karen)" by Sonic Youth (from their 1990 album Goo)

Anyone notice that the first page of the level 6 enemies section of the stinko man manual says "Is it getting warmer in hear?" which is the the wrong spelling of the word HERE. TBC are so good with grammar its amazing they screwed up like that.

:The Stinkoman game is littered with errors. It's intentional, to mock poorly-translated video games. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 01:46, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

== Did you get this one? ==

It turns out that a less visible error in the game is that level 4 isn't "Fistcuff," but "fist''I''cuff." for real.

== Ice to not have to STUFF this ==
I won't be posting the following in the Fun Facts section, since even I would vote to decline it as a possible coincidence, but the title of level 7, "Ice 2 Meet U," completely reminds me of the ''Simpsons'' episode "Last Exit to Springfield," where McBain deadpans "Ice to see you" as he bursts out of a much-too-small Venus de Milo ice sculpture. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:11, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

===Saargtsson Ltd. (Accepted as rewritten) ===

The quote for Saargtsson ("Saargtsson is an equal opportunity employer.") is attributed to Saargtsson-Bosch GmbH. [http://www.bosch.com/content/language2/html/index.htm Bosch] is an actual German company specializing in automotive, industrial and building technology, as well as consumer goods such as power tools.

I appreciate the effort, but I think we need to put it back to the much smaller image that was there before. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 20:14, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Quote:

'In the Level 9 intro cutscene, Stinkoman whistles for his ship to bypass traversing through the "evil jungle". The whistling noise may be a reference to the Warp Whistle item from Super Mario Bros. 3. The use of this whistle allowed the player to warp to a "higher" world without progressing through all of the levels required to reach it.'

Whaaaaa? Or maybe it's just a reference to how a whistle is used to summon stuff in movies and games, I.E. whistling to call a dog or whatnot. Has this been put to a vote?--[[User:TobyTheRobot|TobyTheRobot]] 03:12, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
 
Why don't you and the Cheat pull a 
caper of some sort. It seems like 
there has been little cooperation 
between the two of you as of late. 
 
James 
Detroit Mi</blockquote>

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

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

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

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

''{The Cheat says something}''

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

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

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

''{The Cheat knocks over the lamp, breaking it. A light turns on and Homestar comes out. He is wearing pajamas, and it appears he hasn't shaved. Strong Bad looks hastily for an escape and The Cheat puts his hands in the air.}''

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

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

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

''{Cut back to the computer}''

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

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' That ''was'' yesterday!

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

'''STRONG MAD:''' DEAD!

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

'''STRONG SAD:''' Dead!

'''STRONG BAD:''' So glad The Cheat is not— ''{stops singing, starts bobbing his body left and right on each clap}'' Just the claps! Just the claps... Strong Sad, I didn't know you had any rhythm.

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{He rubs The Cheat's head. The Cheat says something}''

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

''{The Cheat places his arms akimbo and looks angry}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nah, I'm just kidding, man. ''{makes several fake kicking motions; The Cheat prepares to dodge each one}'' Oh, what, watch me now! Had you there.

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

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

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

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

== Easter Eggs ==
*After you see the Jumble Caper happen, you can click on the word "caper" to see their original plan.
<pre>"OPERATION JUMBLE JUMBLE"
Objective: Steal Homestar's Jumbles
Details: Strike in the wee hours.
Don't knock over any cow lamps.
Be cool.
Say "hi" to any ladies encountered.</pre>
*At the end you can click on The Cheat's eyes to see what became of Strong Bad's rhythm section.
:''{Cut back to Strong Bad's computer room. Strong Sad and Strong Mad are still clapping in time to the music}''
:'''STRONG SAD:''' Um... do you think we can stop now?
:'''STRONG MAD:''' KEEP IT ROLLIN'!
*If you wait for some time after the end Homestar will come out in his pajamas. Click on [[Homestar's Slippers|his slippers]] to see a jumble. You can also print the jumble!

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*Homestar's comment, "Hey, Strong Sad. [[Batman]]," may be referring to The Cheat's pose when Homestar walks in. With his arms in the air, he resembles the comic book character's mask in silhouette.
*Strong Bad's torso twitches show that he has no rhythm during the handclapping part of the song.

===Trivia===
*The answer to the Jumble is "UN TACO"(which means one taco in spanish), and the scrambled words spell "This is a difficult one."
*This is the first appearance of Homestar's [[caper#Commentary_Transcript|5 o'clock shadow/cinnamon powder]].
*Homestar's bunny slippers seem to have eyes only on one side, similar to Homestar himself.

===Goofs===
*When you click on The Cheat's eyes at the end and it shows Strong Mad and Strong Sad, the contrast buttons are missing on Strong Bad's computer.
*Homestar's speech impediment lightened up. When he says "What is it, like, three in the afternoon?" his R's are very well enunciated compared to his full waking state.
*After you view the Easter egg with Strong Sad and Strong Mad still clapping, Homestar will walk on again.
*At the end when Homestar walks in, he appears in front of The Paper.
*Look closely at Strong Bad while him and The Cheat are discussing the jumbles in the dark and you'll notice that the rest of his mouth and face mask is partially visible on the wooden tile and the wall behind him.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad favoring the Jumbles was first mentioned in [[The Interview]].
*Homestar is wearing a shirt that used to be available in the [[Store]].
*This is another reference to [[Kicking The Cheat]].

===Fast Forward===
*Homestar gets another "cinnamon beard" in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]].
*"The Cheat Is Not Dead" would later be featured as a song on the [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]] CD.

== DVD Version ==
*All of the Easter eggs are intact, except you can't print the Jumble, for obvious reasons.
*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:''' This is not about—uhm, this email is ''not'' about the little spice thingy...vegetable.

'''MIKE:''' Ohh, caper? I never even realized that caper...

'''MATT:''' It's the same—spelled the same way.

'''MIKE:''' It's so weird. Like, words like polish and Polish. I was, like, 25 when I realized "Oh my gosh, these words are spelled the same way." ''{Matt laughs}'' It just never occurs to you. It never occurred to me that caper and... anyway.

'''MATT:''' Okay, so, look, there's all the different Homestars in the background.

'''MIKE:''' Yep. This is a scene we've never seen before.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. There's Homestar's ''{Mike says something inaudible in the background}'' That cow lamp, though, is, uh, a lamp—we had a little illustration club and one week the theme was drawing lamps. And that was one of my lamps.

'''MIKE:''' It's a good one.

'''MATT:''' I'd like to ''make'' that lamp.

'''MIKE:''' I'd like to make that little, uh, desk—that little stand that the lamp was on.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. There's—Homestar's wearing, uh—number one, those bunny slippers are incredible. ''{Mike laughs a little}'' And terrifying. Are they—are they—they look kind of like their lips, not their ears.

''{Mike laughs more}''

'''MIKE:''' So, here, Strong Bad sings a song.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Um...the, uhm...

'''MATT:''' It goes pretty well. It goes pretty well with the music he's playing.

'''MIKE:''' Mmm-hm.

'''MATT:''' Uhm, what else, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Well, we could talk about the cinnamon on Homestar's face.

'''MATT:''' Yes.

'''MIKE:''' And how that was a trick of ours when we used to make movies, uh, when we were younger. We never would need to be dirty or have a five o'clock shadow or whatever. We would just get cinnamon and put it on our face.

'''MATT:''' Or potato—O'Boise's—

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing a little}'' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' —in some cases. If you wanted to look like you had—

'''MIKE:''' Just crunch up some potato chips—

'''MATT:''' —and wet your face and stick some O'Boise's on your face.

'''MIKE:''' Wow.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Oh yeah. I love those—look, notice on the shag carpeting there's a couple of spots there just—on the wall where it's just missing. I those were, I think at one point, those behind the legs.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Right, between Strong Mad and Strong Sad. Right.

'''MATT:''' And that's why we didn't do it and then we moved it and never bothered to make the little...scrunt, whatever you call those, strands of carpet. "You know, joke kick." Hah, right?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, that's from an email.

'''MATT:''' I love the hands on hips The Cheat does, he never has done that and we did that. See? Now just look at him!

'''MIKE:''' He's so sassy.

'''MATT:''' I know. So there you go—

'''MIKE:''' No, Homestar's going to come out.

'''MATT:''' Oh yeah, Homestar comes out, so we get to keep talking.

'''MIKE:''' Yes, we can keep talking this time.

'''MATT:''' Come on, Homestar, where are—where are you at?

'''MIKE:''' He's got a cup of coffee. I like the cup of coffee.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, look at that steam! It's just little dots.

'''MIKE:''' It's good steam.

'''MATT:''' It matches nothing else on our website—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Wearing his own T-shirt there.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

Double Deuce

TobyTheRobot — Mon, 26 Dec 2005 05:49:23 GMT

TobyTheRobot: Subjective change. I get the reference, but I changed it so something that a more casual H*R enthusiast might get

[[Image:sbemail24.PNG|thumb|right|220px|Psssshhh! The Double Deuce!]]

The '''Double Deuce''' is a style of flipping someone off with both hands. First demonstrated by [[Strong Bad]] in "[[the bird]]," it was later introduced as the name of [[Stinkoman]]'s primary attack technique. In order to perform a Double Deuce, Stinkoman strikes a dramatic pose and shouts "Double Deeeeeuuce!", which causes his gloves to glow and creates an energy disturbance around him.

Strong Bad's Exciting Action Man action figure (as seen in [[action figure]]) comes equipped with "Severe Double Deuce Action." The feature is activated when the figure's head is pressed down.

The Double Deuce and its variants can be used to rid oneself of [[The Office|the office]] [[dullard]] or those seeking a challenge or perhaps a fight.

[[Image:Single Deuce.png|thumb|100px|The Single Deuce]]
There is a one handed variant called the '''Single Deuce''', which [[Pom Pom]] prefers. A single "deuce" appears in the box art tagline for [[Stinkoman 20X6]] as "Ask for a Challenge! Deuce!"

In [[Senor Mortgage]], the [[Visor Robot]] says the word "deuce" as part of a random string of words before he explodes in an [[Easter egg]].

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Ow ow ow... Ow ow oww... Ow ow owww... Email...

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="email">Dear S to the B, 
I noticed that you always have an 
extra plug socket open under your 
desk. Isn't there something cool you 
could plug in there? 
Simcity, 
Justin Corcoran, MASS</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Awww, I '''hate''' getting these mass emails! ''{typing}'' REMOVE ME! UNSUBSCRIBE! TAKE ME OFFA LIST! ''{clears screen, continues typing}'' Well HUGE to the DORK, your timing couldn't be more perfect, as I just received my new electric boots in the mail today. Check out these features.

''{Strong Bad stops typing and produces a box of 'Lectric Boots.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No fewer than 8 lights flashing at any given time! Whisper quiet, and, uh, check out that guy dancing with that hot girl. That's gonna be ''me'' at the club ''{He pronounces it "clüb", a mix between "club" and "cloob".}'', and the hot girl will be The Cheat! Er, I mean, an actual hot girl! ''{speaking as the guy on the box}'' Hey there, fruit pie...the magician. Wanna dance? ''{speaking as the girl on the box}'' Yes, I would like to be your girlfriend based solely on your awesome boots.

''{Strong Bad sets the box on his desk. We pull back and see that Strong Bad is wearing the electric boots, with The Cheat under the desk near the empty socket.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, The Cheat, let's do this.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{cheat noises that sound like "OK!"}''

''{The Cheat plugs in the boots, causing the lights on the boots to come on and a loud, vacuum-cleaner-like humming to start. The Cheat puts his hands over his ears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{shouting over the noise}'' Whoa! Check out those lights! They're flashing!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{questioning cheat noises, shouting}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{shouting}'' I said check out the flashing lights!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{questioning cheat noises, shouting}''

''{The Cheat leaves the room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{shouting}'' Hey, where are you going? Wait up!

''{Strong Bad gets up and walks to follow The Cheat, until he reaches the end of his cord.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{shouting}'' I'm gonna need an extension cord!

''{Strong Bad sits back in front of the Compy 386.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing, shouting}'' Attention all interested ladies: Please have electrical sockets installed every 5 feet before inviting me over to your apartment or dormroom. So, I guess I'm awex— ''{The power goes out.}'' SOME IS THE REASON WHY— ''{typing, despite power outage}'' Whoa. I guess these boots suck up a lot of energy. Maybe that's what "solid state" means. I suppose I can stop typing now. ''{stops typing}'' I'm gonna need some help finishing this email without power.

''{Cut to the darkened living room. Strong Mad, Strong Sad, and The Cheat appear to be watching TV, and are laughing. Strong Bad walks in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What are you guys watching?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Shhh!

''{Cut to the TV screen, where a picture of Andy Griffith's head is taped on. Strong Mad, Strong Sad, and The Cheat start laughing again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' You guys are watching a picture of Andy Griffith's head taped to a TV?

''{Cut back to the view of the couch. Homestar walks in.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, has it started yet? I brought some popcorn! ''{He produces a popcorn bag containing a bottle of [[Mountain Dew]].}'' DANG, Strong Bad, I like your boots.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look, I'm going to need some help finishing up this email. Will somebody give me a hand?

'''STRONG MAD:''' WHEN THIS IS OVER!

''{Cut back to the Compy 386. We can hear that the boots are running again. Strong Sad is holding up a piece of black paper in front of the monitor, which he lowers to reveal Strong Bad's "typed" text as Strong Bad is typing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing, shouting}'' Well, whatever your name was, the boots are back in action, and so am I. I can already tell they're gonna be a hit when I wear them to da club this weekend. The ladies can't resist flashing lights and an obnoxiously loud hum! ''{stops typing}'' All right, Strong Mad! Go!

''{The Paper comes down with Strong Mad producing the sound effect. Cut back from Strong Bad's desk to see Strong Mad holding The Cheat upside-down over the Compy 386, with The Cheat holding the paper in his hands. The extra plug has been burnt. Strong Sad is holding the black piece of paper he used to obscure Strong Bad's text, and Homestar is wrapped in an extension cord leading from Strong Bad's boots elsewhere. A few seconds later, Strong Bad starts speaking}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Way to go, guys! I doubt '''anyone''' could tell the difference between a regular email and this unplugged email! Now keep holdin' it! Nobody move! Gonna be a long week!

''{A few more seconds later, Homestar starts talking.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{rhythmically}'' I really got. I really gotta pee. I really got. I really gotta pee pee. I really got. I really gotta pee.

''{Strong Sad joins Homestar.}''

'''STRONG SAD AND HOMESTAR:''' ''{rhythmically}'' I really got. I really gotta pee pee. I really got. I really gotta pee. I really got. I really gotta pee pee.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That is a disgusting song.

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end, click on either of Strong Bad's boots to see Strong Bad and The Cheat at Club Technochocolate.
:''{Strong Bad and The Cheat are at Club Technochocolate. Strong Bad dancing wearing his 'lectric boots near a plugin. The boots are making their usual loud humming noise. The Cheat is standing nearby plugging his ears with a couple glowsticks.}''
:'''MUSIC:''' ''{background}'' All is on! Feel it, feel it, feel it, feel it! All is o—
:''{The power goes out.}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, The Cheat! Let's keep this party movin'! On to the next club!
:''{Strong Bad unplugs his boots and walks offscreen.}''
*Also at the end, click on the extension cord to see what the 'Lectric Boots '''are''' plugged into.
:''{Cut to The King of Town's castle. An extension cord can be seen running from a sparking plugin out a window and into the distance. A sign has been placed near the plugin reading "auxilliary food-related thing. DO NOT UNPLUG!" The King of Town is standing nearby holding a piece of paper.}''
:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' This electricity bill is '''pretendous'''!

== Fun Facts ==
===Remarks===
*Solid state refers to transistor electronics, vs. old vacuum tube technology. In the '50s through perhaps the mid-'70s (which seems like it might be the period from which the boots came), manufacturers would stamp "solid state" on their various devices, signifying that they were state-of-the-art.
*In the [[Club Technochocolate|Technochocolate]] Easter egg, The Cheat appears to be plugging his ears with the glowsticks, which can give us a rough estimated location of his ears beneath all that fur.
*Even though only one of Strong Bad's boots is plugged in, both boots work.
*During the unplugged email, there are burn marks around the free socket under his desk... It seems that when the boots "fused," the plug actually melted and/or caught on fire.
*When Strong Bad holds up the box in which his shoes came, his boxing glove covers the contrast knobs, but you can still change his screen contrast through his gloves.
*Although there are black marks around the extra plug under Strong Bad's desk after he blows the power, there are no marks around the plug at [[Club Technochocolate|Technochocolate]] when he blows the power there.
*At the end, when the gang are maintaining the "unplugged e-mail", Strong Bad remarks that it is going to be a long week. It turned out to be four weeks until the next email, [[montage]].
*Viewing the Flash file shows Homestar sitting down fully on the floor, but he does not seem to have a butt, as his legs bend up into his shirt.
*The King of Town's bill has the title 'Lectric bill, spelled just like Strong Bad's 'Lectric Boots.
*Strong Bad's humming sounds a bit like the opening theme to John Carpenter's [[Wikipedia:Assault on Precinct 13 (1976 film)|''Assault on Precinct 13'']].
*It seems that Homestar's "job" in helping finish the e-mail is to be tied up and left on the floor.

===Goofs===
*Strong Bad's boots stop making noises in the end even though the lights are flashing.
*In the Club Technochocolate scene, the Cheat's glowsticks do not actually glow - when the power goes out, they are lit the same as the surrounding area. They do seem to have a "glowing effect" around them even so.

===Glitches===
*The contrast knob on the [[Compy 386|Compy]] stops working when Strong Bad addresses "all interested ladies" even though the power is still on.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad started to spell the word "awexome" before the power went out, a reference to the email [[monster truck]] and [[Awexome Cross]].
*"Dang, Strong Bad, I like your boots!" is a reference to the cartoon [[New Boots]].
*The King of Town's statement about his electric bill being "[[Glossary#P|pretendous]]" is a reference to the [[Fan Costume Commentary|Strong Bad Fan Costume Commentary]].
*The "All Is On" song in [[Club Technochocolate]] is from an Easter egg in [[for kids]].
*Club Technochocolate is a reference to the email [[monument]].
*The sound effect of Strong Bad's boots when he is walking is identical to that of [[Stinkoman]]'s boots in [[Under Construction]].
*Homestar singing he has to pee may be a reference to [[The House that Gave Sucky Treats]] and/or [[A Jumping Jack Contest]].
*The TV that had [[Wikipedia:Andy Griffith|Andy Griffith]]'s head taped to it was the TV from the old toons menu.
*The Cheat's glowsticks are references to the emails [[techno]] and [[monument]].
*SB uses his [[Teen Girl Squad]] voice for the lady on the box.

===Real-World References===
*The way Strong Bad pronounces 'da club' throughout the e-mail is a reference to [[Wikipedia:50 Cent|50 Cent's]] hit single 'In Da Club', where he rounds off the 'u' in the word 'club' the same way.
*The author of this email signed it with ''[[Wikipedia:SimCity|SimCity]]'', which is a popular city-making game series by [[Wikipedia:Maxis|Maxis]] and [[Wikipedia:Electronic Arts|EA Games]].
*[http://theimaginaryworld.com/pix401.jpg "Fruit Pie the Magician"] is a reference to the mascot for [[Wikipedia:Hostess|Hostess]] brand fruit pies.
*The 'lectric Boots may have been inspired by the song [http://www.eltonography.com/songs/bennie_and_the_jets.html "Bennie and the Jets"] from by Sir [[Wikipedia:Elton John|Elton John]].
*"S to the B" is an example of a common hip-hop/rap method of joining two names, words, or letters.
*Strong Bad's email song closely resembles part of [[Wikipedia:Metallica|Metallica's]] song [[Wikipedia:Fade_to_Black_(song)|Fade to Black]] off of the [[Wikipedia:Ride_the_Lightning|Ride the Lightning]] album.

''{Everyone laughs}''

'''JONATHAN:''' With these guys. I'm from Massachusetts. Yeah, Mass!

'''MIKE:''' Where are you from, Ry?

'''RYAN:''' Uhhhhh... Little Virginia, little Florida.

'''MIKE:''' Little Columbus, Georgia. Right?

'''RYAN:''' Yeah, Columbus, Georgia. Interesting place.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah?

'''RYAN:''' I like your boots.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, we had some...

''{Jonathan laughs}''

'''JONATHAN:''' What is Ol' Fatty's?

'''MIKE:''' What?

'''JONATHAN:''' Ol' Fatty's!

'''RYAN:''' Are they from giracer?

'''MIKE:''' I don't know where that's from.

'''RYAN:''' Ol' Fatty's? And they're purring there.

'''MIKE:''' They're whisper quiet.

'''RYAN:''' I like it when you draw people like that.

'''MIKE:''' Matt drew those. Those are definitely Matt's style.

'''RYAN:''' This is about to get real loud.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, we should talk loud now, guys.

''{Everybody raises their voices}''

'''RYAN:''' Yeah.

'''JONATHAN:''' Can you hear me? What's the game of the day?

'''MIKE:''' Uhhhhhhhh...

'''RYAN:''' Death Track.

'''JONATHAN:''' Death Track

'''MIKE:''' Death track was a great game. It was a racing game where you had to shoot, uh, a futuristic racing game where you had to shoot other cars. Activision. Activision or Dynamics, I'm not really sure which.

'''JONATHAN:''' It's weird that Activision and Electronic Arts are still around. They're like the kings!

'''MIKE:''' Activision is older than Electronic is older than Electronic, well I guess that Electronic Arts is pretty old. But Activision made Atari games in 1982

'''RYAN:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Good for them. People got confused why he started yelling when it got dark.

'''RYAN:''' I got, I'm confused Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Well its sort of like, if you're, ummm, pulling a really heavy wagon, and someone takes all the weight out of the wagon, you're pulling at the same, and you just start running forward.

'''JONANTHAN:''' It’s like a record stopping too. It just gets loud.

'''RYAN:''' Sorry, I was listening to you, but I turned to see Andy Griffith taped to the TV. And it was a little bit strange.

'''MIKE:''' So, that is from our cousin Jim. One of the many things we've stolen from him. There was this family, he claimed, that lived near him that didn't have a working TV and just taped a picture of Andy Griffith’s head to the TV. Yet another example of Matt and I just stealing bits of our friends' and relatives' everyday lives.

'''JONATHAN:''' What about Lincoln version?

'''MIKE:''' Lincoln version we thought off.

'''RYAN:''' It's a good bit. You gotta, gotta, a lot of good bits.

'''MIKE:''' Do a bit Ryan. Hurry up.

'''RYAN:''' How about them boots, eh? They're flashin...

'''MIKE:''' That's a good bit. How long does this thing go on for before the email ends?

'''JONATHAN:''' I think for a while. This is a waiting easter.

'''MIKE:''' Ohhhh, so we, uhh, get to hear, uhhh, the pee song?

'''JONATHAN:''' Oh yes! It's going to come up. People liked the pee song.

'''MIKE:''' My mom like the pee song. I think that she was ashamed, but she really thought it was funny.

'''RYAN:''' That's not something you really want to admit to a friend.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, she was a little embarrassed.

'''RYAN:''' So did you have those boots, growing up?

'''MIKE:''' I still got them! I'm wearing them right now Ryan!

'''JONATHAN:''' Remember moon boots?

'''MIKE:''' Yes, I do remember moon boots.

'''RYAN:''' They had, like, two inches or so of plastic at the bottom.

'''MIKE:''' I agree.

'''JONATHAN:''' I bet there are remixes of that floating around.

'''MIKE''': I want to remix it.

[[Image:peasantsquest.png|thumb|A game fit for a peasant!]]

''"Control a short-panted 'peasant' named Rather Dashing as he stumbles through Peasantry in his 'quest' to get revenge on a dragon thing."'' —[[Videlectrix]]

A real long time ago, in the peasant kingdom of [[Peasantry]], some people lived... in fear. You are {{Film|Rather Dashing}}, a peasant wearing short pants, who returns from his vacation to find his thatched cottage BURN[[Lowercase i's|i]]NATED! You set out on a quest to get revenge on {{Film|Trogdor}} once and for all.
So will he stay alive and protect this peasant kingdom from burnination?
''YOU'' decide!!!

'''Date:''' August 2, 2004

'''Page Title:''' Peasant's Quest

== Instructions ==
*Look around by typing "look".
*Talk to others by typing "talk".
*Take items by typing "get (item)".
*Use items by typing "use (item)". You can also "throw (item)", "give (item)","look (item)", and some other action words.
*Type "inv" to see your inventory.
*Type "save" to save your game and "load" to load a game. ([[Wikipedia:HTTP_cookie|Cookies]] must be enabled.)
*Press + or - to speed up or slow down your character.
*Type "ask about (name)" to gather information from other characters.

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*On July 18th, 2005, Peasant's Quest received a "Top Dog" award from [http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?id=5243 Home of the Underdogs].
*The commands "make friends with Kerrek" and "buy Kerrek a cold one" were added after the e-mail [[for kids]] was released.

===Goofs===
*If you type "where" on the screen above the Mountain Pass, you'll see that it has no name.

*Typing "look" on [[Poor Gary]]'s screen will still say "rotten ol' horse" even after he's fled.

*If you get [[Kerrek]]'s belt after getting on fire, the animation of getting the belt won't show you on fire.

===Glitches===
*A strange mapping bug allows you to "warp" to the [[Baby Lady & Her Baby|baby lady]]'s house and the inn from another screen entirely. Walk into where you would go to the hidden glen, but go up through the fence and to the left.

*On the screen containing [[Jhonka]]'s Cave, walk into the bottom left corner and you'll end up in the inn, however you'll only be able to walk along the bottom and right sides of the screen.

*Standing behind the "INN" sign while standing as close as possible to the inn itself will cause part of Rather Dashing to appear in front of the sign.

*If you fail the quiz from one of the three keepers of Trogdor, instead of loading a game, just click on RESTART on the load menu after Game Over. Skip the game's intro and then press Enter. This will once again bring up the question you answered wrong while you're standing by the knight at the entrance of Trogdor's cave. Answering the question wrong again just gets you another Game Over, answering right just makes the box disappear.

*After you kill the Kerrek, go into the baby cottage. It will be raining inside.
**It will also rain inside the inn.

*On the Game Over screen, hit Enter twice and the animation of your bones will start over.
**If you die, and press restart, and then press enter twice, you will go through another death scene.

*After typing "use sword" in Trogdor's inner sanctum, walk right for an interesting glitch. Even though Rather Dashing's graphic is locked in place, he will get burninated even though he is nowhere near Trogdor. The fire will come from Trogdor's neck instead of his nose.

*Download the Flash file and start a game. At any time type "save". In the save menu, click on the Flash player's control tab (next to file and view), and select "play". It loads the archery game and you can get the bow before you are supposed to, plus you can do it over again to get more than the total points.

*In Trogdor's Lair, you will hear a tune. Keep pressing load game and it will keep repeating.

*If you type "get mask" at the well after placing the pebbles in the bucket, but before getting the Monster Maskus, you will not get the mask and will be unable to get it through any means.

*After you get the baby and the lady leaves, the chair continues rocking, although there is nobody in it.

=== Inside References ===
*Sometimes, when you jump in to the hay bale (after being covered with mud), it says you jump in like a "two years old boy". This is a reference to [[Main Page 15]].

*The screen title "River b/w Tree" is a reference to [[Arcade Game]], in which one of the items on Homestar's list is "pork b/w beans". The abbreviation "w/" for "with" is not used, instead it's "b/w" which was used on old vinyl records and singles to refer to the B-side ("b/w" = "backed with"). It was also used in [[Strong Sad's Lament]] as "Arts b/w Crafts".

*If you try to jump in the left side of the lake, it responds "Not so fast, Swimmer [[Dan]]!".

*When you reach the top of the mountain, it says "Nice jorb climbing the cliff.", which is a reference to [[A Jorb Well Done]], as well as [[Coach Z]]'s accent in general.

*[[Jhonka]] is from the e-mail [[impression]].

*[[Kerrek]] is from the e-mail [[interview]].

*At the bale of hay, if you type "Get hay", it makes a reference to [[Thy Dungeonman]] and [[Thy Dungeonman II]] by saying "Who do you think you are, some kind of Thy Dungeonman?"
**There is another Thy Dungeonman reference if you "look jhonka."
**When you type in "die" it says "That wasn't very smart," another reference to Thy Dungeonman.

*If you type in "get plague" at the burned out tree, the game calls you Mispeller Jones [sic], a reference to the "Interruptor Jones" quip from [[morning routine]].

*After killing the Kerrek the screen says "ARROWED!! Nice shot. You smote the Kerrek! He lay there stinking." ''Arrowed!'' is a running joke used in [[Teen Girl Squad]] and [[TROGDOR!]].

*If you return to the corpse of the Kerrek and type "kill Kerrek," it says "Yeah. You smote the Kerrek. You deserve a trophy full of Mutton-ums." This is a reference to the toon [[New Boots]], where [[Strong Bad]] claims [[The Cheat]] could have earned a trophy full of Steak-ums.

=== Real-World References ===
====Other Video Games====
*The game itself is a parody of [[Wikipedia:King's Quest|King's Quest]] and many classic adventure games.

*The filename of the game is disk4of12.html, a nod to old PC games which were often distributed on multiple floppy disks and which prompted the player to insert the next disk at certain points during installation or gameplay.

*Starting from the Hidden Glen screen, turn left as you exit through the hole in the fence. This allows you enter the screen "located" above the Hidden Glen, which turns out to be the interior of the Baby Lady Cottage. Entering the cottage in this manner changes the way you interact with your surroundings, allowing you to walk through walls, and even walk an indeterminate distance off the edge of the screen. Possibly this is not an error, but rather a reference to [[Wikipedia:Atari|Atari's]] old ''Adventure'' game, in which you could peer off the edge of one screen into another, and enter a secret room which is said to be the first instance of an "Easter egg" in a game.

*When you smite the Kerrek, it'll first say "Here goes, Kid Icarus". This is a reference to a [http://www.nintendo.com Nintendo] game of the same name: [[Wikipedia:Kid Icarus|Kid Icarus]], in which your main weapon is a bow.

*The save screen may be a reference to the old [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda series|Legend of Zelda]] games in format, the addition of hearts through progress, and the addition of artifacts that are added to your body (shield, helmet, sword).

*Typing "light lantern" is a reference to the text-based [[Wikipedia:Zork|Zork]] series, in which you always carried a Brass Lantern, and which is parodied in Thy Dungeonman.

*When you obtain the Kerrek's belt, Rather Dashing holds it over his head in a fashion similar to Link of The Legend of Zelda.

*Naked Ned popping in and out from the tree is similar to [[Wikipedia:Smoke (Mortal Kombat)|Smoke]] from [[Wikipedia:Mortal Kombat II|Mortal Kombat II]] in the living forest level, where you would occasionally see him pop out, look, and return behind the tree.

*The noise you hear when the disk read error occurs is very similar to the [[Wikipedia:Commodore 64|Commodore 64]] disk drive, for when the drive is trying to load a disk, it sometimes loses its place where it was loading and made a loud clicking noise.

====Music====
*If you type "look" near the hay, it says, "It reminds you of a warm, safe place where as a child you'd hide," a reference to "[[Wikipedia:Sweet Child O' Mine|Sweet Child O' Mine]]" by [[Wikipedia:Guns N' Roses|Guns N' Roses]].

*Looking at the rock in the middle of the river gives a reference to "Rock of Ages" by [[Wikipedia:Def Leppard|Def Leppard]].

*When you scare Poor Gary it says he "broke on through to the other side," a reference to "Break on Through" by [[Wikipedia:The Doors|the Doors]].

*Hugging the tree at the hay bale produces a reference to a well-known [[Wikipedia:The Byrds|Byrds]] song. However, once you do this you seem to get stuck. Pressing the down key will remedy this.

*If you look at the cracked ground, it says something about it being a place in which rock stars make amazing guitar solos — a reference to [[Wikipedia:Slash (musician)|Slash's]] solo on "November Rain" by Guns N' Roses.

====TV/Movies/Comic Books====
*At the bale of hay, type "look tree". It says, "[[IMDb:0074697|It's Arbor Day, Charlie Brown]]," a 1976 [[Wikipedia:Peanuts|Peanuts]] TV special.

*When you first talk to the knight guarding the mountain pass, he calls you "Dragonheart", a reference to [[IMDb:0116136|the movie]] of the same name.

*If you try to get the pebbles but are too far away, it says, "You try to do your best Mr. Fantastic impression." This is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Fantastic Four|Fantastic Four]].

*If you go to the screen with "River b/w Tree" and type "look hut" or "look cottage", it says, "You see a cottage in the distance. You hold your fingers up to one eye and pretend to squash it." This is a reference to the Head-Crusher sketch on [[Wikipedia:The Kids in the Hall|Kids in the Hall]].

*Using the baby at the hole of the mysterious cabin brings up a message "Deploying Q-Baby...", which is probably a reference to items such as the Q-Boat, provided to fictional British secret agent [[Wikipedia:James Bond|James Bond]] by [[Wikipedia:Q (James Bond)|Q]], an inventor of cool spy gadgets.

*If you try to give the Jhonka something he'll reply with, "Don't need nothing from no filthy peasantses!!" This is a reference to the ''Lord of the Rings'' character [[Wikipedia:Gollum|Gollum]], whom Jhonka somewhat resembles.

*After jumping in the hay the game comments you look like "that guy from that one show", a reference to Cousin It from [[Wikipedia:The Addams Family|The Addams Family]] who looked like a walking hay bale.

====Other====
*Typing "throw baby" at the west screen of the lake returns the message, "I guess you misread the walkthrough at GameFAQs..." [[Wikipedia:GameFAQs|GameFAQs]] is a popular gaming website known for its huge number of walkthroughs or FAQs for just about every game there is ([http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/online/game/922153.html including Peasant's Quest]).

*When you look at the painting in the inn, it says that there are dogs playing "Magic: The Nerdening". This is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Magic: The Gathering|''Magic: the Gathering'']] card game, as well as to the stereotype of ''Magic''-players as being antisocial nerds. The painting itself is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Cassius Marcellus Coolidge|C. M. Coolidge's]] series of nine oil paintings featuring dogs playing poker, as well as the follow-up painting "Looks Like Four of a Kind".
*If you try to "scare gary" before getting the mask, two of the three possible responses are references. The first ("You tell Gary the story about the kid who pops this big zit he has and all these baby spiders come out. It doesn't phase him.") is a reference to an urban legend, as is the second ("You tell Gary the "THE CALLS ARE COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE!!" one but he doesn't act very scared. He's probably heard it before."), which was made into the 1979 horror movie ''[[IMDb:0080130|When a Stranger Calls]]''.
*Trogdor's voice is an old speech synthesizer called the [[Wikipedia:Software Automatic Mouth|Software Automatic Mouth]], or S.A.M.
*The berries on the bushes are called "Crunch Berries." This is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Cap'n Crunch|cereal]] of the same name.
*Trying to jump in the hay from far away will cause a reply which includes a usage of the initials MJ. This is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Michael Jordan|Michael Jordan]], a basketball player who had an incredible vertical jump, and was able to dunk the ball from the foul line, which is several feet away.
*Looking at the rocking chair after the baby lady leaves will get you a message saying "One of those self-rocking kind. Not bad for a brown-collar peasant-type. Must be trickle-down in action." This may be a reference to trickle-down economics; part of [[Wikipedia:Ronald Reagan|Ronald Reagan]]'s economic plan for the United States was based on the theory that allowing those with the most economic influence (businesses and the upper-class) to flourish would "trickle down" and benefit the rest of the economy in the form of increased spending, saving, and investment. Therefore, according to the trickle-down theory, given fair market conditions, the best way to enhance overall economic health is to concentrate economic benefits on those with the most economic influence.
**Furthermore, "brown-collar" is a reference to white- and blue-collar jobs, referring to office work and manual labor, respectively. There is no brown collar, but it can only be assumed it represents whatever brown-robed peasants do.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Teeg Dougland

TobyTheRobot — Wed, 14 Dec 2005 16:31:49 GMT

TobyTheRobot:

[[Image:teeg_dougland.png|thumb|"I'm afraid I've got some bad news, boys."]]

'''Teeg Dougland''' was first heard from when he directed [[Taranchula]]'s music video for [[Moving Very Slowly]]. He was also the manager for [[Limozeen]] in the animated would-be series, [[Limozeen: "but they're in space!"]] (and presumably, this means he was their manager in "real life"). He always appears to give the band members bad news, which he announces with "I'm afraid I've got some bad news, boys." He finally gives his last bad news at the end of the failed pilot—the show is cancelled.

Teeg is voiced by (and looks very much like) [[Mike Chapman]].

'''Limozeen''' is a [[Wikipedia:Hair metal|hair metal]] band [[Strong Bad]] loves, and even has an autographed picture of one of the members. Their name was born from the email "[[band names]]." Limozeen's logo is reminicent of [[Wikipedia:AC/DC|AC/DC]]'s logo with the same text and the lightning bolt in the center. They had a [[Limozeen: "But they're in space!"|cartoon]] based on them that was set in space, but it was cancelled before the pilot episode even finished. Limozeen has made some strange albums including one called "Feed the Childrens." Strong Bad featured one of the songs on "Feed the Childrens" as number two in his [[bottom 10]], mainly because it consisted primarily of "la la's", "na na's", and "doot do's."

They are played by [[The Brothers Chaps]] and their friends while wearing outrageous [[wikipedia:1980's#Trends and Fashions|80's-style]] blonde wigs and clothing. In some cases, the same person plays all the members of the band. In the [[Limozeen Thanksgiving E-Cards]], four different people played the members of Limozeen.

Talk:Superbowl Dealie

TobyTheRobot — Thu, 08 Dec 2005 05:41:36 GMT

TobyTheRobot:

==Remember When?==
Can anyone remember when this toon was put up? I think it deserves to be listed in the "Not Quite Strong Bad Emails" section of the [[Strong Bad Email]]s page, but I want to make sure it's put in the proper chronological order. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 13:13, 15 Jan 2005 (MST)

==Possible goof...but probabaly not==
was strong bad's eyes being half shut on purpose...or was this a mistake. the only reason i can see them doing this was to show that it was late at night (as the superbowl is)...which is probably the reason.

Very, very, very likely on purpose. I think he was squinting in mild exasperation at Strong Mad. --[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 21:11, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

==Different title?==
Is it just me, or did the title of this used to be "Football makes a good excuse" when it was new? As in, "Football makes a good excuse
for why the Strong Bad E-mail was late for this week?" I'm SURE that this phrase was on the web site somewhere, I just can't remember where.
Am I thinking of another cartoon? Was that the phrase in the green "what's new" bubble the week this came out? Someone with a good memory help
me out here. --[[User:TobyTheRobot|TobyTheRobot]]

TobyTheRobot: Um... Real World Reference?

"Strongbad repeating hose me down seems to be a reference to skate videos."
What the heck does this mean?--[[User:Hysterical Woman|Hysterical Woman]] 09:12, 5 Nov 2004 (MST)

*I'm not sure, but I did edit it to make it a little more proper. Perhaps "skate videos" means videos like Tony Hawk's or something like that. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]] 22:06, 19 Nov 2004 (MST)

I thought it meant like when in skateboarding videos, after they show a trick, they'll flash the clip about twice more so you can see it again, just like they did it in this, but for no reason. --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 19:22, 30 Mar 2005 (MST)

== Stench of Biblical Proportions ==

There's a fun fact that says:

<pre>The fact that Strong Bad says "a stench of biblical proportions"
refers to the Bible and that there was always some kind of destuction
going on.</pre>

Is that fact even necessary? I'm torn between whether it's useful or not. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]] 22:27, 19 Nov 2004 (MST)

I would have deleted it in its original form since it's sort of offensive, but it's a little better now. --[[User:Clever Ben|Clever Ben]]

The whole fun fact should be deleted all together, since "A *something* of biblical proportions" is a commonly used phrase to describe something enourmous, such as "a flood of biblical proportions"--[[User:Nevrmore|Nevrmore]] 15:18, 5 Jan 2005 (MST)

Moreover, the definition of "biblical" is just that: a reference to the bible. You could say "a pile of hamburgers of biblical proportions" but that doesnt necessarily merit the second half of that comment. --[[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 23:23, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

== Has Matt? ==

I doubt this is a reference to Matt Chapman. It's probably just a coincidence that they used the pun "Has Matt?" because it sounds like "Hazmat", since that is the word for who comes after a chemical spill. You might as well say if they use "Mike" instead of "Microphone", they're talking about [[Mike Chapman|Mike]]. And not all HSR fans know them by any other name than The Brothers Chaps, so they probably wouldn't mkae a joke that not all fans had a way of understanding.

:I think it's very possible to be referencing [[Matt Chapman]]. Just because some of the fans won't get a joke doesn't mean they aren't going to put it in there. That's one of the reasons that make Homestar Runner funny! →[[User:FireBird|''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>'']]

Well, I still think it's a coincidence. --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 19:21, 30 Mar 2005 (MST)

== Goofs Section ==

There needs to be a goofs section here, I noticed sevral.
4/17/05 -Guest

:Well, by all means go ahead and put one in. [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Be bold in updating pages|Be bold!]] — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:22, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

== Full Storyline ==

There's the possibilty that everyone is correct in their story. Observe:
# Strong Bad writes that he loves "Carla Lewis"
# Strong Bad realizes his embarassing mistake and tears up that part of the couch.
# Mysterious Figure (I have a sneaking suspicion that it's Bubs) eats chili and pukes in the tear. Sews it up before anyone notices
# Strong Bad cuts open the area that was sewn up. The puke has rotted over the months/years and the scent of it overwhelms him. A Haz-Matt? team is required to remove the stench of the mysterious figure's old puke
# The Haz-Matt? team patches up the couch
# Homestar throws Teddy Grahams at the cieling.

See? Kinda silly to put in the main article, but interesting nonetheless. --[[User:GregHosting|GregHosting]] 20:31, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

It's not Bubs! It's Coach Z, hence the hat and other such stuff in the silhouette.[[User:Ookelaylay|Ookelaylay]] 03:08, 3 Jul 2005 (UTC)

==Print me a million dollar bill.exe==

**Never mind.[[User:Ookelaylay|Ookelaylay]]

==Closed STUFF==
===Computer miscommunications (Declined)===
At the beginning of the email, Strong Bad tells Compy not to give him any cross talk. This is refering to the transient signal interference that comes from two wires running parallel to each other which can cause erroneous signals to be sent/received. (I welcome rewrite suggestions)

'''VERDICT:''' This item was narrowly declined.

{{stuffcloseddecline}}
=== Hazmat = Matt? ===
{{stufffact|The Poopsmith's Has Matt? uniform is a reference to [[Matt Chapman]].}}
{{stuffverdict|17:28, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)|17:38, 7 Jul 2005 (UTC)|declined|11|4|couch patch}}

== Um... Real World Reference? ==

Regarding:

"Crosstalk" refers to an interference phenomenon commonly found on Parallel ATA (PATA) cables in most computers. This is caused when signals passing through wires are too strong and inadvertantly are transferred to adjoining wires, causing errors. This is probably what Strong Bad thinks is happening (why Compy won't print out the bill), while also creating a small pun, as in backtalk.

Um... What? Even with the qualifer (PROBABLY what Strong Bad thinks etc...) this seems like an EXTREME stretch to me. More than likely it's a play on the whole childish

"Print me a million dollar bill!"
"No!"
"Print it!!"
"What's the magic wooooord?"

Phenomenon rather than some kind of crazy PATA cable nonsense. Did this wording pass a vote? Am I nuts?

Enough, people. Let's settle this once and for all. What should it be? Gar-bage, or Gar-baaj? [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 12:45, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

: Making up a fake spelling doesn't make unusual vowels any clearer. Writing "baaj" doesn't clearly indicate /bɑʒ/, any more clearly than /bædʒ/ or any of a number of other possible pronunciations. The only way to indicate the pronunciation clearly is by describing it: hence "to rhyme with ''garage''"; and underlining or italics can indicate stress on the last syllable. And if a fake spelling doesn't add anything, why use it? [[User:24.193.240.181|24.193.240.181]] 17:58, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

:Well ... "garbaaj" doesn't do it for me, either. Maybe "garbahge" or "garbahj"? I think "gar-''bage''" is just fine though. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:26, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

::I think using the [[Wikipedia:IPA in Unicode|IPA]] might be our best bet. See [[Wikipedia:IPA chart for English|this chart]] to determine what to use.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 20:11, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

I propose using 'zh' to represent the last consonant. Unlike 'ge', 'j', or others, it's unambiguous in meaning that sound as far as I know. And I think 'ah' is least ambiguous for the vowel sound, though I'm less sure there. -- [[User:Minivet|Minivet]] 11:01, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

== Garage Sale vs Yard Sale ==

I see that fun fact as being needlessly pedantic. People interchange the terms garage sale and yard sale all the time.

== Possible Goof ==

Is it just me, or does Strong Bad start reading the e-mail a little too early? He seems to say "Hey Strong Bad!" before it actually appears on the screen. --[[User:Spanky The Dolphin|Spanky The Dolphin]] 23:44, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

You're right, it does seem a smidge early. That could have been on purpose though.
-Alice 7:59, 5 May 2005

== Original Saying ==

In regards to this fun fact:

In the "Mothers only" easter egg, Coach Z originally said, "Oh, so I'm okay then!". The reason this was changed is probably because this would imply that he already said it, even though he wasn't making conversation with anyone. So to fix this plothole they made him say something that would imply he hadn't said it yet instead.

Did Coach Z originally say, "Oh, so I'm okay then!"? --[[User:Gafaddict|Gafaddict]] 02:42, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

I think that they changed it from "Oh, so I'm okay then" to "Oh, then I'm okay to say it" because his first line was a tad vague. It seemed to mean simply that he was okay, instead of meaning it was okay for him to say it. --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]

== Possible goof ==

When SB says he gets people otu of hteir houses so the CHeat can ransack them, Homestar is in the bag full of items. Possibly why he sold himself...eh?-firekirby

:It's not a goof, it's a plot twist. I think The Cheat stuffed him in there with all the other items to be sold, and that's why he was being sold. But it was all for humor, so don't take it too seriously. Or else. -- '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]''''' 11:49, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

==Closed STUFF==
===Are ALL the prices (except where otherwise noted) related to e-mails? (ACCEPTED)===

Except for the candle, the egg carton, Aunt Gert, and unpriced items, all prices refer to the number of the email in which the item first appeared.

== 'Moms' ==

As far as I know, Strong Bad has always typed 'mom' with a capital letter. I don't think it needs to be in the 'goofs' section.

== Catman ==

Strongbad calls cat "Catman", which is the name of a villain in the Green Arrow comic series. Since the Brothers Chaps are so familiar with Batman, I don't think it's that much of a stretch to think that they know Green Arrow, another DC hero
(If I did this wrong, someone please show me how? This is my first wikipedia post ever)

== Cow nitpick ==

"It's not even a real cow" -- This line could very possibly be "It's not even real cow (no 'a')." Seeing as how it's Homestar's 'cow lamp' from the Caper E-mail, I thought that he was saying something akin to "That thing's worthless-- it's not even real cow" like someone may say "Don't spend 30 bucks on that wallet! It's not even real leather!" Does this make sense to anyone else?"
