<div>[[Image:Marzipan Frowns in Narrator.PNG|thumb|"A dorky chef's hat threatens to tear them apart..."]]<br />
[[Homestar Runner]] and [[Marzipan]], although officially dating, have a rather tenuous '''relationship''', as has been evidenced several times. Homestar frequently insults Marzipan (although he may not realize that he is doing so), and Marzipan occasionally treats Homestar with contempt. Occasionally, they even break up or mention breaking up. Nevertheless, they always end up together again. Their relationship seems to be the opposite of that between [[The Homestar Runner]] and [[Old-Timey Marzipan]], who are seldom seen apart.<br />

(sometimes she says "And today we are", and when she does, she "offends" Homestar by leaving to the chinchilla protest.)<br />
*[[Sensitive to Bees]]: After Homestar says Marzipan can tell people that he sang with her, she responds, "No thanks!"<br />

*[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 9.2]]: Homestar breaks up with Marzipan on her answering machine because he believes that she told him to "go away and pick up sticks". He later realizes that this is untrue and seeks to cover up his rash message.<br />

*Incidentally, Andrew is the very same character who appeared in the Trogdor-laden ''Buffy'' reference. Since both shows are the brainchildren of creator/writer/executive director Joss Whedon, we can probably assume that the creator of Buffy is also a fan of Homestar Runner.<br />

<br />
''{Strong Bad stretches out "Hey Strong Bad!", says "high-shool... er, highs- high school. highschool (as one word)" instead of just "high school", and reads "Cowiche WA" as one word.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, cowichewa to you too, Patrique. Now, I have an extremely unphotographic memory. So, I guess that'd be more like a drawing, or a doodle. Like a doodle memory. ''{clears screen}'' But I would hazard a guess that we were probably just like other cartoons were in high school, i.e. we were a team of super sleuths.<br />
<br />
''{Cuts to a splash screen titled "The Homestar Runner Mysfit-steries" with "story by Youdbetterbelieveit Chimendez" in the lower right. Crudely drawn teenage versions of Homestar Runner, Marzipan, Strong Mad, and Strong Bad stand abreast in the center. Dissolve to teenage Marzipan in an old building.}''<br />
<br />
'''TEENAGE MARZIPAN:''' Stampers! My long lost uncle's abandoned pie factory sure is mysterious.<br />
<br />
''{Cut to a wider shot showing the entire gang.}''<br />
<br />
'''TEENAGE STRONG BAD:''' Ah, there's no such thing as "mysterious".<br />
<br />
'''TEENAGE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I don't want to take any chances. ''{close up shot}'' We should play in a band, just to be safe.<br />
<br />
''{Cut to teenage Strong Bad, Strong Mad, Marzipan, and Homestar Runner playing the keyboard, the drums, the tambourine, and the bass guitar, respectively, on a blue backdrop.}''<br />
<br />
'''TEENAGE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing without his usual speech impediment}'' Havin' fun with my friends. Words about a mystery. Shakin' hands with my man...<br />
<br />
''{Cut back to the Lappy 486.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' And when we weren't debating the existence of mysterious, Strong Mad and I were all the time trying to liberate Homestar from those ridiculous striped ''{pronounced stripe-ed}'' pants.<br />
<br />
''{Cut to teenage Strong Mad, Homestar, and Strong Bad near some lockers. Strong Mad and Strong Bad hold ropes attached to hooks in the ceiling and floor, which then run through hooks on Homestar's waistline. A magnet lies next to Homestar's feet.}''<br />

'''TEENAGE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now you guys are sure this won't emancipate me from my ridiculous striped ''{pronounced stripe-ed again}'' pants?<br />
<br />
''{Cut back to the Lappy 486.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' So that's what high school ''{pronounced "high-shool", as before}'' was like. In, um, middle school we were a bunch of melon-headed babies with gigantic eyes and enormous...<br />
<br />
''{A baby-sized Coach Z tosses with a box marked "NOT A BALL!" up and down, with a plush football beside him. Strong Bad continues, voicing over.}''<br />

'''BABY STRONG BAD:''' ''{high-pitched, childish voice}'' I'm pretending I'm playing better video games! ''{Atari 2600 sound effects play in the background.}'' Aw, man! That freakin' duck swallowed both my pixels!<br />
<br />
''{Push pan to a baby Strong Sad and a baby The Poopsmith. Baby Strong Sad has a pink bow in his hair, long eyelashes, and a frilly divide between his torso and trunk. The baby Poopsmith wears a blue baby bonnet and holds a stained rattle, with a large pile of dirty diapers behind him.}''<br />
<br />
'''BABY STRONG SAD:''' I'm pretending I'm not sitting next to The Diapersmith.<br />

''{As Strong Sad says this, the background, including The Diapersmith's diapers, is replaced by a black and white image of the Wright brothers' airplane.}''<br />

<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voicing over, in normal voice}'' And going even unnecessarily further back, ''{as Strong Bad says this, baby Pom Pom bounds by the screen, with a Bumble Ball body form and no distinguishable head.}'' we were all a bunch of plucky parameciums <!--{sic}--> living in Free Petry <!--{sic}--> Dish USA.<br />

<br />
'''BUBSAMECIUM:''' Certainly! Six tubes of rear-end cream coming right up! ''{He brings out a bag with said tubes of cream, and gives it to Homestarmecium.}''<br />

<br />
==Easter Eggs==<br />
[[Image:Unphotographic.png|thumb|right|200px|Unphotographic]]<br />
*Click on the word "unphotographic" to reveal a photographic memory of the [[caper|jumble caper]].<br />
**Click on the resulting image to reveal the doodle memory version of the same event. Strong Bad is carrying a large gemstone out of a vault, [[The Cheat]] is drawn as a rattlesnake-like creature carrying a turkey on a platter, and a sign points to the right reading "Subwoofers."<br />
*Click on the word "Roman" after the paper comes down to see what those times were like.<br />
:''{Cut to The Homestar Runner and Old-Timey Strong Bad in a black and white Roman land. The Homestar Runner is dressed as [[Wikipedia:Julius Caesar|Julius Caesar]] and Old-Timey Strong Bad is dressed as a [[Wikipedia:Legionary|Roman legionary]].}''<br />
<br />
:'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh... aqueduct.<br />
<br />
:'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Hm... yes! Vomitorium!<br />
<br />
:'''DON KNOTTS:''' ''{pokes head in}'' Andy?<br />
<br />
:''{Pan to Sickly Sam wearing a sack reading "OLIVES". He vanishes, and an [[Wikipedia:Ionic order|Ionic column]] takes his place.}''<br />
<br />
==Fun Facts==<br />
<br />
===Explanations===<br />
<br />
*"Cowichewa to you too" is an aural allusion to "[[Wikipedia:List of common phrases in various languages#Japanese|konnichiwa]]", a basic Japanese greeting.<br />
*Homestarmecium, despite his name, is drawn without a nucleus. This suggests that he could actually be construed as a [[Wikipedia:Bacteria|bacterium]] (a [[Wikipedia:Prokaryote|prokaryote]]), rather than a [[Wikipedia:Paramecium|paramecium]] (a [[Wikipedia:Eukaryote|eukaryote]]), and that he replicates himself using [[Wikipedia:Binary fission|binary fission]] (eukaryotes replicate via [[Wikipedia:Mitosis|mitosis]]).<br />
**On the other hand, the "hairs" on his head area may suggest he's a [[Wikipedia:Ciliate|ciliate]], not a bacterium. However, since some bacteria have cilia as well, this is not conclusive. While Bubs also has "cilia" patches, his outline suggests the stereotypical image of an amoeba rather than the typical "footprint" shape of a paramecium.<br />
*Strongbadiophage, which has a hexagonal head upon a column ending in 6 legs, appears to be a T4 Phage [[Wikipedia:Bacteriophage|bacteriophage]]. This type of [[Wikipedia:Virus|virus]] attacks bacteria, not paramecia, and forces the host cell to create copies of the virus by modifying the cell's DNA.<br />
**The [[Wikipedia:Enterobacteria phage T4|Enterobacteria phage T4]] was likely chosen to represent Strong Bad because it is by far the most easily recognised virus, not necessarily because of its nature.<br />
**Just as "bacteriophage" means "one who devours bacteria," "Strongbadiophage" may be taken to mean "one who devours [[Strong Badia]]" or simply "one who devours Strong Bad".<br />
*The Homestar Runner mentions [[Wikipedia:Aqueducts|aqueducts]]. The Roman Aqueduct system is perhaps the most famous ever built, running over 250 miles across their empire and supplying over a million gallons of water a day to ancient Rome alone.<br />
*A Roman [[Wikipedia:Roman eating and drinking#Vomitorium|vomitorium]] was a passage situated below or behind a tier of seats in an amphitheatre, through which the crowds could "spew out" of the building at the end of a show. Contrary to popular belief, it does not refer to a place where people would go to vomit.<br />
*In the Roman Easter egg, Sickly Sam is wearing a sack that says OLIVES, which were quite valuable in that era, both as a foodstuff and a source of oil which could be used for fuel, cleaning, etc.<br />
*Patrique is a French spelling of Patrick.<br />
<br />
===Trivia===<br />
<br />
*When this email was released, the [[Main Pages|main page]] button read "new strong bad email" and "nothing else!". The site had just experienced an unusually long hiatus, 35 days, since the last major update.<br />
*"[[The Homestar Runner Mysfit-steries]]" is written by Youdbetterbelieveit [[A. Chimendez|Chimendez]].<br />
<br />
===Remarks===<br />
[[Image:Homestarmecium-cutaway.jpg|thumb|right|Homestarmecia, before and after cutaway]]<br />
*Strong Bad [[Fourth Wall Breaks|breaks the fourth wall]] by acknowledging the fact that he is a cartoon character.<br />
*This email appears to support the idea that Strong Bad and Homestar were once friends, as was first suggested by Homestar in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]].<br />
*Teenage Homestar plays a [[Left Handedness|left-handed]] bass guitar.<br />
*Baby Coach Z wearing green pajamas supports the theory that he wears a green body suit, as Strong Bad questioned in [[labor day]].<br />
*Strong Bad seems to be a little confused on Coach Z's age: In his "middle school" flashback, Coach Z appears about the same age as him, but in [[stand-up]], Strong Sad's video tape reveals that Coach Z was already an adult when Strong Bad was a little kid. Their conflicting ages were also seen in [[record book]].<br />
*[[Wikipedia:Petri dish|Petri dish]] is misspelled in "Free Petry Dish USA" as a reference to [[Free Country, USA]].<br />
*When Homestarmecium replicates himself, he does so horizontally, each time. However, every time the screen pulls out, the Homestarmecia are lined up vertically prior to the next replication, despite having never moved from their horizontal alignment.<br />
<br />
===Fixed Goofs===<br />
[[Image:20060108_highschool_masking_goof.png|thumb|Masking goof]]<br />
[[Image:Mysfit-steries.PNG|thumb|An unsettling mistake]]<br />
*When the email was released, Strong Bad's reflection went outside of the Lappy's screen as he got up. This occurred due to lack of using a masking effect. This was corrected shortly after it was released.<br />
*Originally, on the Mysfit-steries title screen, Strong Mad's fist was visibly protruding from between Marzipan's thighs. This too was fixed promptly.<br />
<br />
===Inside References===<br />
<br />
*The photo from the "[[Wikipedia:Eidetic memory|photographic memory]]" Easter Egg is a screen shot from [[caper]].<br />
*There is another reference to [[Homestar's Pants]]. <br />
*The "[[Pie]] factory" was originally mentioned in [[stunt double]], though the location bears a resemblance to [[The Old Pietimer Place|Eustice Pietimer's estate]] in [[That A Ghost]].<br />
*The horizontal lines on the wall of the middle school may be a reference to the lines on the wall of [[Strong Bad's Basement]].<br />
*During his song, Homestar mentions "shaking hands with my man," possibly supporting the notion that he has [[Lack of Visible Arms|invisible hands]].<br />
*The "stripèd" pronunciation was used previously in [[New Boots]] to descripe the [[Striped Green Rabbit]].<br />
*The "freakin' duck" is a reference to one of the deleted scenes in [[In Search of the Yello Dello Deleted Scenes|In Search of the Yello Dello]], and also to [[Main Page 13]]. In this context it most likely refers to the [[Atari Dragon]].<br />
**It is also another mention of [[Ducks|ducks]].<br />
*Baby Strong Bad's left eye has a star-shaped reflection, which is also seen in the [[Strong Bad 404 Error Page|Old 404 page]] and [[Main Page 11]].<!--The one on Main Page 11 is in the over-the-shoulder graphic activated by the Characters button where the caption is "I shoulda won all those times"--><br />
*The multiple Homestarmecia are an instance of [[Twin Characters|twin characters]].<!--This is the correct pluralization for "Homestarmecium," being that it is derived from "paramecium/paramecia".--><br />
<br />
===Real-World References===<br />
<br />
*"The Homestar Runner Mysfit-steries" parodies ''[[Wikipedia:Scooby-Doo|Scooby-Doo]]'', as well as numerous other [[Wikipedia:Cartoon Network Studios|Hanna-Barbera]] cartoons such as ''Jabberjaw'', ''Josie and the Pussycats'', and ''Speed Buggy''. These cartoons featured common themes of teenagers and young adults solving mysteries and occasionally playing together in bands.<br />
*"Stampers" is a parody of the ubiquitous nonsensical Scooby-Doo exclamations, such as "Jinkies!", "Jeepers!", and "Zoinks!"<br />
*The "middle school" portion of the email parodies ''[[Wikipedia:Muppet Babies|Jim Henson's Muppet Babies]]'' and other American cartoons that followed the trend of [[Wikipedia:Younger versions of cartoon characters|presenting established characters in a franchise as children or toddlers]] (such as, incidentally, ''Scooby-Doo'').<br />
*Based on the "freakin' duck", Baby Strong Bad is most likely playing [[Wikipedia:Adventure (Atari 2600)|Adventure]].<br />
**However, the sound effects come from [[Secret Collect]].<br />
*The black and white picture behind Baby Strong Sad and The Diapersmith is from the historic [[Wikipedia:Image:Wrightflyer.jpg|first flight]] made by the [[Wikipedia:Wright brothers|Wright brothers]] in 1903 at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.<br />
**Live action backdrops such as this one and the football field behind Baby Coach Z were used in Muppet Babies when the babies would use their imaginations.<br />
*Homestar as the matronly nursery character saying "Now you children skedaddle" is a reference to and hybrid of both Nanny from Muppet Babies and the Mammy-Two-Shoes character from [[Wikipedia:Tom and Jerry (MGM)|Tom and Jerry]]. The costume and Southern colloquialisms are suggestive of the "Mammy" character, who often wallops the cat with a broom when he misbehaves. "Nanny", likewise, was only shown from the waist down.<br />
*[[Wikipedia:Don Knotts|Don Knotts]], who passed away shortly after this e-mail was released, was an actor best known for playing [[Wikipedia:Barney Fife|Barney Fife]] on [[Wikipedia:The Andy Griffith Show|''The Andy Griffith Show'']]. He also twice guest-starred in the ''New Scooby-Doo Movies'' cartoons.<br />
*The "Roman times" Easter egg may be a reference to ''[[Wikipedia:The Roman Holidays|The Roman Holidays]]'', a Hanna Barbera animated sitcom from 1972. Like ''[[Wikipedia:The Flintstones|The Flintstones]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:The Jetsons|The Jetsons]]'' before it, the basic premise was plunking a typical sitcom family into another time period (in this case, 63 A.D.).<br />
*"Just the facts" is a reference to the phrase "Just the facts, ma'am", which was thought to be made popular on the TV police procedural [[Wikipedia:Dragnet (drama)|Dragnet]], although the phrase was [http://www.snopes.com/radiotv/tv/dragnet.htm never used on the show].<br />

===Fast Forward===<br />
<br />
*Teenage Strong Bad reappears in the abandoned factory and is seen in the supergroup in [[alternate universe]].<br />
