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

Dear Mr. Bad

We regret to inform you that your credit card
has expired. To keep your account, we will need
you to send your old credit card number and
expiration date, as well as a new one so we can
make the change. We promise we are real and
not just trying to steal your money.

John, and some other people
who aren't scam artists

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

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

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

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

Dear Superfied Credit Union,

friend Strong Bad! Anyway, here's my
credit card information:

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

{The Paper comes down.}
