History Recap / StrongBadEmailE129GarageSale

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Strong Bad's last label for the kind of people that show up at garage sales isn't really a label. It's just Coach Z.

* YouMakeMeSic: Strong Bad mocks Cat for using the phrase "da things", wondering if they're referring to "da bomb" or "da boys" or even "da hood".

* LamePunReaction: After making his "garage/garbage" joke, Strong Bad hastily adds "Don't ever say 'garbage' like that. That's like, the only joke moms have, and they can keep it for all I care." This is later revisited in an Easter egg (see TheStinger at the bottom of the page).

* ItIsPronouncedTroPay: Subverted: Strong Bad's complaint about garage sales is how people got too lazy to take out the trash and instead just resorted to selling it, remarking how suspicious it is that there's only a one-letter difference between a "garage sale" and a "garbage sale", which he pronounces as "gar-bahge" to rhyme with "garage". He then follows it up with a LamePunReaction below.

* BuyOrGetLost: Strong Bad says that a Lurker, one of the types of people who frequent garage sales, stays around without buying anything.

Strong Bad's main problem with garage sales is that the merchandise gives the impression that people gave up on putting their trash out and started putting price tags on everything instead.

* '''Coach Z''', whose weirdness (like "buying up all the 'Great for Baby' items" for reasons he'd "prefer that you didn't" ask about) is in a class by itself.

Strong Bad prefers to use garage sales as a way to lure his neighbors out of their homes so The Cheat can ransack them, and then sell people back their stuff a few weeks later at jacked-up prices... a ploy that backfires somewhat when Strong Bad tries to sell Marzipan a "new" answering machine.

->'''Answering Machine:''' It's a great day at Marzipan's! Please leave me a message.\\
'''Strong Bad:''' Uh, see, it is perfect! It already knows your name, even. Heh! Ooh, heh, eee, oh, hmm... peow! (''runs off'')\\

'''Marzipan:''' More like, ''pree''-ow. (''The Paper comes down'')
