If you want an explanation behind its inspiration, here's what happened: During a long and boring four-day weekend (Rosh Hashana), some kids at a dorm where a friend of mine lives decided to throw a "slumber party." It took place in the hall lounge, and all we did was talk for a while, and then one girl brings in her Uno cards and so we play a round. After one round everyone was bored and the party dispersed from there. So technically there WERE no sleeping bags or R-rated movies. Just people, though. Thinking how lame it all was, I decided to write an email to Strong Bad about it, since the topic of slumber party wasn't done before on SBEmail, and that I had a reason to ask about it (the lame game of Uno).

Me as myself.

Hello! My name is Thomas O'Rourke. Not much that I can say about myself... I am a casual viewer of Homestar Runner, and I have many interests. I enjoy reading, drawing, painting, cooking, programming, and video games (Nintendo guy). I graduated from Binghamton University with a Bachelor's in Computer Science.

I discovered Homestar through TheMushroomKingdom.net, when the newest email was "kind of cool".

[edit] slumber party

The email slumber party was sent in by me. If you want the story behind it, here's what happened:

During a long and boring four-day weekend (Rosh Hashana), a friend at a nearby dorm invited me and over and said that some guys were throwing a "slumber party." It took place in the hall lounge, where all we did was talk for a while. Then one girl brought in her Uno cards and so we play a round. After one round everyone was bored and the party dispersed from there. So technically there WERE no sleeping bags or R-rated movies. Thinking how lame it all was, I decided to write an email to Strong Bad about it, since the topic of slumber party wasn't done before on SBEmail, and that I had a reason to ask about it (the lame game of Uno).
