7Brandon Hofer from Judson College in Elgin, IL ("Geez, I didn't need your freaking life story, man.") wants to know what Strong Bad's second wish would be if he got three wishes. Strong Bad sums it up in one word: "Horns. No question. I'd wish for a pair of horns." He even has a visual aid prepared.

9->'''Strong Bad:''' Look at how great I would look, man. So majestic, yet so wicked awesome. Like I could maybe go on tour with some heavy metal band and like be their mascot you know and come out on stage, and have some type of laser fight with the lead singer and all the fans will go nuts. Oh man, that would be great.

11Strong Bad closes the e-mail by asking senders to stop signing their e-mails "Crapfully yours", "With a bunch of crap", and so on. He also gets briefly distracted by how much the horns he drew on himself look like croissants.
12
13->'''Strong Bad:''' Okay you guys, so until next week, it's not ''required'' that you sign your email, "Crapfully yours," or, "With a bunch of crap," or, "Crap in the times," or, "Crap is so great," "Everything is crap," "My middle name is Crapperson." You know, you could just put, "Sincerely"... or, "Yours truly," is another good one. Come on, guys. I'll still read 'em.\

16!!Tropes:
17* HornedHumanoid: If Strong Bad had three wishes, one of them would be for horns.
18* NoodleIncident: Brandon specifically asks what Strong Bad's ''second'' wish would be if he got three wishes, and we never find out what his first one would be.
19* OverusedRunningGag: Strong Bad addresses his fans, asking them to stop signing their e-mails "Crapfully yours" and the like.
20* PretentiousPronunciation: Strong Bad pronounces "croissants" with a thick French accent near the end of the e-mail.
21* ShoutOut:
22** Strong Bad's intro song ("I got an email, I got an awesome email") is a reference to "I had a dream, I had an awesome dream" from Music/LionelRichie's "Say You, Say Me".
23** Strong Bad thinks that with horns, he could become the mascot for a heavy metal band and get in laser fights with the lead singer, like Eddie of Music/IronMaiden.
