STRONG BAD: The United States in tight, white, brand underdrawers. Briefly, let's discuss what this dream means. No really, you guys can interpret this one how you want. Me, I blame the pudding pops. Okay, so... maybe I shouldn't have shared that with you guys. Uh... see you next week.

Fun Facts
- If you look closely at The Cheat's screen you will see an icon called "So Cool a Flash." This was the subject line for the popular Klez Virus.
- In japanese cartoon, Strong Bad says a Haiku at the start of the email in which he says "So cool an email", which is again probably a reference to the virus.
- Also, the screen on which the US in underwear appears is called "So Weird a Dream" - another obvious reference.
- Note that the state of Louisiana's underpants are only halfway on (and they are on sideways). It's likely a vague reference to Mardi Gras and its reputation for drunken nudity and general wildness.
- In the top-left corner of The Cheat's computer is the little rainbow star that appears beside the contrast buttons on the Tandy 400.
- When Strong Bad says, "How's it goin', Texas?" at the end of the E-mail, he is probably hinting to the fact that when you put the US in a pair of underwear, the shape of Texas, given its location, resembles a giant scrotum--and just where one should be, too.
- According to The Brothers Chaps, the weird dream was one Mike actually had. He drew it up as a visual aid for Matt, and it served as the inspiration for the e-mail.
- The "Time to check the e-mail" phrase that Strong Bad says in the tone he does is likely a reference to the old 1980's Dunkin' Donuts commercials where the Dunkin' Donuts man said "Time to make the donuts" in a very similar sing-song tone.
