History Recap / StrongBadEmailE191Buried

'''Bubs:''' Anyways, I'm here for my weekly, ahem, "delivery". (''gestures to several barrels reading "inTOXICatingly good WASTE".\\

'''Schenkel McDoo:''' Yah guys, Yold Ones Vry!\\

Paul M. from "Pathquaya" wants to know if there are any ancient ruins buried beneath Strong Badia.

Equipped with a shovel and his trusty Taranchula "Black Metal Detect-or" ("[[OverlyNarrowSuperlative America's coolest]] [[CoveredInGunge children's game show]] [[ConsolationPrize consolation prize]]"), Strong Bad and The Cheat get to digging for ruins, riches, and "booby-traps we can steal ideas from". Strong Bad quickly finds something, in the form of a mysterious circular object labelled "Coldonestry" that may well be the tip of an ancient, richest-filled structure.

Strong Sad points out it's just a piece of tinfoil with a picture that a young Strong Mad drew of his weird-looking younger brother, but Strong Bad stubbornly sticks to his "acient aliens" theory.

'''Bubs:''' Oh, sorry about that, Strong Bad. Was I supposed to come earlier?

It seems Bubs is here for his weekly "delivery" (of several barrels of "in''toxic''atingly good ''waste''").

->'''Strong Bad:''' Yeah, yeah, just bury it wherever. But if you uncover any ruins, or hot aliens, or riches, they're mine, OK?\\

Strong Bad concludes there are no rich ruins buried beneath Strong Badia, or at least about a foot beneath Strong Badia.

(''An illustration of elaborate ruins beneath Strong Badia appears onscreen. New Paper comes down.'')

'''Schenkel Mcdoo:''' Yah guys, Yold Ones Vry!\\

Equipped with a shovel and his trusty Taranchula "Black Metal Detect-or" ("[[OverlyNarrowSuperlative America's coolest]] [[CoveredInGunge children's game show]] [[ConsolationPrize consolation prize]]"), Strong Bad and the Cheat get to digging for ruins, riches, and "booby-traps we can steal ideas from". Strong Bad quickly finds something, in the form of a mysterious object labelled "COLDONESDRY" that may well be the tip of an ancient structure.

Ignoring his nay-saying brother, Strong Bad continues his search for ancient riches and finds "a futuristic piece of paper" with a picture of some type of space alien and the caption "BABBY ALIEN".

->'''Strong Bad:''' I knew it! Strong Badia was originally colonized by extra-terrestrials! That explains why I'm so brilliant! And why all beings look the same except for slight differences of our foreheads.

Strong Sad points out it's just a piece of tinfoil with a picture that a young Strong Mad drew of his weird-looking younger brother, but Strong Bad insists it's a message from his true mother, who left him on Earth hundreds of years ago until his cocoon was disturbed by "an elderly oatmeal enthusiast".

->'''Strong Bad:''' Oh, Babs! Why did you leave me stranded here?\\

Strong Bad concludes there are no rich ruins buried beneath Strong Badia, or at least about a foot beneath Strong Badia ("Digging is hard, man! Did you ever try to dig a hole? It's not all wipes and montages like in the movies. It takes forever!") However, the possibilities that may lay ''several'' feet beneath Strong Badia stagger the bad imagination, as demonstrated with a picture by Strong Bad of a hypothetical ancient city beneath Strong Badia.

->'''Strong Bad:''' Well Pauly Pasqually, I know for sure there's a lotta ''something'' buried deep under Strong Badia. Mainly cause I rent out the dirt to unsavory characters in need of a place to stash, ditch, or make disappear, the evidence of their choice.
