As Strong Bad wonders "What could possibly have distracted me from humbera hum...", we flash back to the initial construction of the monument, where Strong Bad and The Cheat have just finished the right foot part of the statue. Suddenly they're distracted by the arrival of Bubs... in the guise of the mysterious figure known as "the Thnikkaman"

Strong Bad and The Cheat run off to meet the Thnikkaman, asking him if they can have "some". After he agrees, the Thnikkaman leaves to a chorus of "There Goes The Thnikkaman!!!"

->'''Strong Bad:''' So you can see why I got distracted. I'd like to see you stay on task when you're starin' down the barrel of a loaded Thnikkaman. I don't care what you're doin. No one can resist. Speakin' of monuments, somebody should make one to the Thnikkaman. Oh the things that man does! Come to think of it, what exactly does that man do? Anyways, I'm gonna go try and find some of that Technochocolate. That stuff sounds a-prettypretty good!\\

'''Sender:''' Kaitlin G.

"Another Fan" named Kaitlin G. thinks that a "SUPER COOL" guy like Strong Bad should build a monument in his honor "for all to enjoy".

-->'''Strong Bad:''' I'm assuming the G stands for generally overused girl's first name. Well generic name, you're really onto something here. Turns out I AM super cool.

It also turns out that Strong Bad already has a monument in his likeness... or at least in the likeness of his right foot. The "Population: Tire" sign turns out to be part of an aborted plan to make a statue of Strong Bad (out of an assortment of random junk, including blow-pops, a "Big Green Egg" grill, and a plastic palm tree).

-->'''Strong Bad:''' Yeah, there were big plans once. It was to be made of the finest materials, on a massive scale that would rival the Aztecs and their...Techno-Chocolate Land.
