First Homestar fic! And this one's about SBEmails. Why? Because I want it to be! Ha!


re: camping trip

Strong Bad sat in front of his laptop computer, which he affectionately called the "Lappy 486", after its model number. He then began singing to no one in particular…possibly his Lappy.

"Oh…there was a farmer, had a dog, and email was his name-o!" he cried, typing strongbademail.exe into the Lappy. He pressed "ENTER" and the following email appeared onscreen. He read it aloud.

Yo, Strong Badman,

Wen was da last tim you went on a camping trip? Whatid you do, whod yu go with, and what are some tips?

Yours,

Stiny

Of course, Strong Bad, loving to make fun of others, read the email all wrong. He read the word "wen" like "ween", he pronounced "tim" the way it sounds, and said "whatid" and "whod" as such: "what-eed" and "whood" respectively. When he got to the second comma, he addressed it as "unnecessary comma." He hit the "ENTER" and began to respond to the email.

He spoke aloud, as well as typed the following message. "Hey wait? Stiny? Why does that sound familiar? Hey, wait a minute! You're Lil' Stiny from Email 29! I remember you! And you're still not my sidekick? That's–"

He was abruptly cut off by a mewing noise. At this point, he stopped typing. "What the – the Cheat?" The Cheat mewed again. He was dressed in a little superhero getup. "I already told you, the Cheat, Stiny's still on hold! He'll come here soon!" The Cheat squeaked sharply. "Yeah, I know it's been three years. But he'll come…soon." The Cheat sounded exasperated as he squeaked one more time and stalked off. Strong Bad decided he'd had enough with the superhero jazz, and turned back to the screen, pressed "ENTER", and continued on a different page.

"Yeah," he typed and said, "I've been camping," and at this point he had to suppress a giggle, "Stiny. I mean, seriously, who hasn't? I went with Pom-Pom, The Cheat, Strong Mad, Bubs, and, as much as it pains me to admit it, Homestar." Obviously Strong Bad was very sensitive to this matter. "What? He gave me a Cold One!" "Two," Homestar called from the distance. Strong Bad stopped typing. "Shut up! That was an album, titled "The 70's Least Popular Jams!" Homestar sounded happy offstage. "I know! Isn't that gweat?" Strong Bad groaned. "Anyway," he continued typing, "here's whatid we did!"

The screen cut to the forest, where Strong Bad, The Cheat, Pom-Pom, Strong Mad, Bubs, and Homestar were sitting around a campfire. "Well!" Homestar exclaimed. "Time fowe…scawy stowies! I'll go fiwst!"

The screen faded to a blank area, with a blue background. "Well, thewe was…this mawshmawow." A marshmallow appeared in the screen. "And…it had a face!" A face appeared on it, making it look like Marshie of Fluffy Puff fame. "And it…yelled a lot!" "Oh…SNAP!" the Marshie yelled. The screen faded back to the campfire, where everyone was shivering. "Woah! That was the scariest thing I've heard since '98!" Bubs yelled. "THAT WAS SCARY!" Strong Mad bellowed. Even Strong Bad was awed. "That was…okay," he admitted. Homestar smiled. "Bubs, you go next."

Bubs took a breath. "Okay. Well, it was at a house on Halloween night." A large rickety house appeared behind a creepy background. "And…a witch lived there." A green-faced, long-nose, wart-blessed old lady appeared in the doorway. "And…she'd give out the best candy ever!" A bucket of candy appeared in her hand, and two kids appeared in front of her. "But…she'd charge $7.50 per piece!" Bubs was interrupted by screams of terror. The screen abruptly switched back to the campsite, where everyone was sweating and shivering. "And then," Bubs finished, "she spent the money and charged $8.50 the next year!" The screams of terror came anew, and louder than ever.

The screen changed back to Strong Bad's computer desk, where he continued typing and talking. "Well, Bubs' terrifying story scared everyone away, so we didn't really see anything else. And I got some tips for you!

Use better grammar.

Get a better name.

March your skinny white butt over to Strong Badia before the Cheat…eats…you.

I gotta go."

He got up, the Geddup Noise (or rather his cousin, Chairscoot), sounded, and he walked away.

Easter Eggs:

skinny white butt: shows a picture of Homestar's butt on a photo signed "Butt dance again!" in a sloppy handwriting


Review or die, I promise you!
