History Recap / StrongBadEmailE78Anything

Homestar brings up an email from Dan from "Fish Lake" (or possibly either Far-off Lands or Foreign Leadership Camp). Judging by Homestar's reaction, Dan was expecting Strong Bad to answer, but nonetheless, he asks "Did you ever make anything out of anything?", prompting Homestar to regale "Jerome" with some of his do-it-yourself projects. These include making a birthday present for Marzipan out of a decorative bag full of old [=CDs=] Homestar didn't want anymore, making breakfast from half-and-half and leftover pizza, using old "Sega tapes" as coasters, and making shoeboxes into makeshift sneakers. He then decides to demonstrate "how to make a wet computer out of Strong Bad's computer" (accidentally kicking The Cheat aside in the process):

* NoodleImplements: You have to wonder why The Cheat was dressed like George Harrison when he came in.[[http://www.hrwiki.org/wiki/anything#Commentary_Transcript According to the DVD commentary]], Strong Bad was gonna do the email on a Wednesday (sbemails were normally on Mondays at the time), only for Homestar to "shanghai" the email. The Cheat's outfit was part of the intended plan for the email to center around a Beatles cover band.

* OrphanedPunchline: After Homestar shows off his shoebox-shoes, Coach Z continues his conversation with Strong Sad by saying "Anyway, Reg had the ball at the top of the key..."

->'''Homestar:''' (''after a long beat'') Dang. This thing's like... the never-ending soda. (''to the tune of the ''Film/TheNeverEndingStory'' theme'') Never-ending so-oda! A-a-a, a-a-a, a-a-a...

->'''Homestar:''' (''still pouring the bottle of Mountain Dew'') Class dismissed! (''angry'') Except for ''you'', Jerome!

Strong Bad's out for the day, so Homestar decides to substitute (complete with impression of a substitute teacher) by checking an e-mail himself.
