'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Gimme some of this and gimme some of thiiiiis... Gimme some of this. ''{stops singing}'' 

<blockquote class="tandy email">Hey Strong Bad,<br />
<br />
How's it hanging? Last weekend I almost drank a one <br />
that was not cold. Has this ever happened to you?<br />
<br />
Dan Waters<br />

''{Strong Bad pronounces TX as "Tejas"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Aw, Dan, you dodged a bullet, man. Because lemme tell you... a One that is not cold, is scarcely a One at all. Allow me to demonstrate with one of my bogus mathematical theorems. ''{stops typing}'' I call it ''{resumes typing}'' "The Property of Ones". ''{stops typing}'' It goes like this: ''{resumes typing}'' The ONE<sup>itude</sup> is directly proportional to the Cold<sup>itude</sup> of the ONE. So you got that, Dan? The colder it is, the more of a one it is. Because you don't want to end up with a Cold None. I wouldn't wish that on anybody. But now in foreign lands, they've been known to drink ''{stops typing}'' Not So Cold Ones ''{a bottle of "Not So Cold One" appears}'', Room Temperature Ones ''{a bottle of "Room Temp-A-Ture One" appears}'', and even Warm Ones ''{a bottle of "Wärm Öne" appears}''. Whoa! ''{clears screen, resumes typing}'' But where I come from, it's ''CUH-HOLD ONES''. Though I have to admit, on certain evenings in late spring, a Cool One can be very refreshing. ''{stops typing}'' Ooh... That's a good One.

''{A needlepoint picture of three "Cold One" bottles with the caption "A One That Isn't Cold, Is Scarcely A One At All" appears on the screen. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*This is the last email that has no Easter Eggs until email #133, "[[bottom 10]]".
*The bottle of Not So Cold One states that they are served at "90 degrees or higher".  This would make them far warmer than Room Temp-a-ture Ones, room temperature being somewhere in the low to mid 70s, but cooler than Warm Ones, which come "straight from the oven".
*The [[YouTube]] description for this email is: "Strong Bad makes up some bogus mathematic equations about cold ones."

===Remarks===
*The needlepoint saying is improperly punctuated; it shouldn't have a comma between "cold" and "is".
*The back button has been written in needlepoint, but it is on the frame of the picture.
*Ironically, beer loses its flavor at colder temperatures.
*When Strong Bad types "the less of a one it is", he doesn't capitalize the word "one"
*At the end it looks like a image on the grampy odd 6

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad refers to the Property of Ones as "one of [his] [[bogus mathematical theorems]]" — the first was the Transitive Butt Property in [[butt IQ]].

===Real-World References===
*The page title, "Still bloke", may be a reference to the Japanese language pronouncing "l" and "r" the same. When switched, it's "broke", which actually fits contextually. 
**It is possible that this is a double reference, since the "foreign land" where they drink Wärm Önes would be assumed to be England or the British Isles, where a "bloke" is a casual reference to a male, generally equivalent to the vernacular "guy".

===Fast Forward===
*[[The Brothers Chaps]] later created a [[needlepoint]] animation using the same corkboard and wall background seen at the end of this toon.
