Strong Bad decides to kill two birds with one stone (or rather, a few email birds with one big email-bird-killing stone) by answering three short emails with snarky remarks.
The first e-mail is from Bettina, who asks "how are you why don't you make a joke". Strong Bad replies that he's fine and asks why she can't make a sentence.
Next, Jeffrey Gilligan claims that he thinks that Homestar Runner is a total dork, three times in a row, and asks if Strong Bad agrees. Strong Bad replies in kind: "I agree. Don't you think I agree? I agree!"
Lastly, self-proclaimed "horse woman" Naomi threatens Strong Bad with a "*kick*". Strong Bad retaliates with a "poisoned oats" attack that stings her, and deals 15 points of damage. This puts Strong Bad in the mood for a text adventure, and he opens one up on the Tandy 400.
Tropes:
- Department of Redundancy Department: Jeffrey's email reads "Homestar Runner is a total dork. Don't you think he's a total dork? I think he's a total dork!" Strong Bad responds in an equally redundant way: "I agree! Don't you think I agree? I agree!"
- Mythology Gag: All three emails are adaptations of emails from the abandoned Wireless Bizness project, text-based e-mails written for the Wireless Application Protocol in an attempt to bring the series to early mobile phones.
- You Can't Get Ye Flask: The text adventure Strong Bad plays at the end of the e-mail doesn't understand what "dagger" is, even though it stated that there's two of them.
