Seems "the suits" got Bubs to put a firewall on their employees' imaginations to keep them focused on the job. As Bubs wanders off to get back to "taserin' that gnome", Strong Bad tries showing off his dream job through "work-approved methods" with a slideshow presentation. Unfortunately he's distracted from his talk of crudles and pantsuits by clueless temp Strong Sad, who's struggling with the "Log Off/Log Out" screen. Then his old foe Homestar "The Office Dullard" Runner shows up to talk about ''his'' dream job of being "The guy who flies around on that big plastic goldfish, painting the clouds with an over-sized novelty toothbrush!" It even comes with a fantasy sequence, much to Strong Bad's frustration.
