STRONG BAD: {singing} It's an email, baby lunchjuice.
Subject: high schoolHey Strong Bad!
What were you like during highschool?
Sincerely,
Patrick Cowiche, WA
{Strong Bad streches out "Hey Strong Bad!", can't seem to be able to pronounce "highschool", and reads "Cowiche, WA" as one word.}
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.
{Strong Bad clears the screen.}
STRONG BAD: 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.
{Cuts to a splash screen titled "The Homestar Runner Mysfit-steries" with "story by Youdbetterbelieveit Chimendez" in the lower right. Crudely drawn Homestar Runner, Marzipan, Strong Mad, and Strong Bad stand abreast in the center. Dissolve to Marzipan.}
MARZIPAN: Dampers! My long lost uncle's abandoned pie factory sure is mysterious.
STRONG BAD: Ah, there's no such thing as "mysterious".
HOMESTAR RUNNER: I don't want to take any chances. We should play in a band, just to be safe.
{Cut to Strong Bad, Strong Mad, Marzipan, and Homestar Runner playing the keyboard, the drums, the timbourine, and the guitar, respectively.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Having fun with my friends. Words about a mystery. Shaking hands with my man.
{Cut back to the Lappy 486.}
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 rediculous striped {pronounced stripe-ed} pants.
{Cut to Strong Mad, Homestar, and Strong Bad in high school. 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.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Now you guys are sure this won't emancipate me from those rediculous striped {pronounced stripe-ed} pants?
{Cut back to the Lappy 486.}
STRONG BAD: So that's what highschool was like. In, um, middle school we were a bunch of melon-headed babies with gigantic eyes and enormous.

Easter Egg Transcript
THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh... aqueduct.
OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD: Hm... yes! Vomitorium!
DON KNOTTS: Andy?
{Cut to Sickly Sam. He vanishes, and a pillar takes his place}
Fun Facts
Explanations
- A vomitorium was a place in Roman times. During a feast, people would eat until they were stuffed, then excuse themselves to the vomitorium. They would throw up the entire contents of their stomach, then return to the feast to eat some more.
- Mitosis
Trivia
- Besides "new strong bad email", the only other item on the main page button read "nothing else!" (The site had just experienced an unusually long hiatus of 35 days since a major update.)
Remarks
- "Cowichewa to you too" is a misinterpretation of "konnichi wa", a basic Japanese greeting.
- Highschool Strong Bad looks very similar to Senor Cardgage.
Goofs
- Strong Bad's reflection goes outside of the Lappy's screen as he gets up.
Inside References
- The photo from the "photographic memory" Easter Egg is a screen shot from caper.
- There is another reference to Homestar's Pants.
