{Cut to Strong Sad standing on the Football Field with his hands glued to his face and a target labeled "Peg Me" painted on his chest.}
STRONG SAD: Guys?! Awww! Oh! Ohw! Augh!
{Strong Sad is pelted with dodgeballs.}
STRONG SAD: Okay you guys! Augh!
{Another ball is tossed at him.}
STRONG SAD: It's not funny. Augh!
{Another ball is tossed at him.}
STRONG SAD: I'm kinda... Augh! {Another ball is tossed at him.} ...unable to defend myself. Aww! Oh! {Another 2 balls are tossed at him} More so than usual. {Balls continue to pelt him.}
{The Paper comes down}
Maybe
{Cut to Strong Sad lying down on his bed, his hands glued to his face.}
STRONG SAD: Augh! I'm blind! My prayers have finally been answered.
{Strong Sad tries to move his hands.}
STRONG SAD: Oh wait, my hands are just glued to my face. Oh well, I'll take that.
{Cut to Strong Bad and The Cheat standing outside Strong Sad's room.}
STRONG BAD: Oh man, he likes it! Okay, go to plan B!
{The Cheat salutes him and leaves. He brings back a bucket of red ants and takes it to Strong Sad's room.}
{The Paper comes down. One red ant crawls out of Strong Sad's room.}
Take it in a bit of a different direction
STRONG BAD: {typing} Though I decided to take it in a bit of a different direction.
{Cut to Strong Sad standing on a green field with his hands glued to his butt. Homestar walks up to him.}
STRONG SAD: Oh, hohoh... oh hey Homestar!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Er, Strong Sad. Why are you touching your buttocks? That's pretty weird.
STRONG SAD: I can't help it!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Okay, that is really weird.
{Homestar walks away and Bubs walks up.}
STRONG SAD: No wait, you don't understand!
BUBS: Grabbing your butt? That's not very ladylike.
STRONG SAD: I'm not a lady.
BUBS: Oh! Whatever.
{Bubs walks away and Strong Bad walks up}
STRONG SAD: Augh, this is getting frustrating!
STRONG BAD: Oh, Strong Sad. Fancy seeing you here! And uncontrollably grabbing your own butt I see. Oh, don't let me get in the way. Carry on!
{Strong Bad snickers and walks away. Coach Z walks past.}
STRONG SAD: Please, come back!
COACH Z: 'Atta boy, Strong Sad.
{Coach Z walks away}
STRONG SAD: Hey, where are you going? You have any solvent? Or Goof Off? Or Didi Seven? Somebody get my hands off my butt!
{The Paper comes down}
Easter Eggs
- If you choose YES, after Strong Sad gets hit with dodgeballs, you can click the target on his belly to play the Peg Strong Sad game.
Fun Facts
- When this Strong Bad Email first came out, the extra choices weren't available. It just went ahead with the "Take it in a different direction" bit, which is why that's the only choice that shows Strong Bad still typing. The choices were added a few weeks later.
- If you pick "maybe" you see the Cheat and Strong Bad looking into Strong Sad's room. Strong Bad has a left arm and a right arm but has two right hands! This mistake hasn't been fixed yet.
- If you choose MAYBE, shortly after the paper comes down, an ant crawls out of Strong Sad's room
- Didi Seven is a real cleaner, as is Goof-Off
- This E-mail was a huge reference to/satire of the infamous series of books that we know as Choose Your Own Adventure.
- In the book's picture, Strong Bad is in a cave, which has nothing to do with this email.
DVD Version
The DVD Version has the Peg Strong Sad game removed, for obvious reasons.
