'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{muttering}'' Ow-mnow, mnow, mnow... ''{louder}'' Mow-mnow, mnow, mnow... ''{stops muttering}''

<blockquote>Dear strong bad,<br />
my brothers are always telling me that your<br />
legs are made of tape, is that true?<br />
-Nicolas</blockquote>
'''STRONG BAD:''' Nee-''co''-las. ''{typing}'' They said my legs were made of tape?! WHAT?? I mean, do I look like some kinda tape-leg? I can guarantee you, man, I am not a tape-leg.

''{Strong Bad stops typing and lifts up his leg, where a piece of masking tape is stuck on the bottom of his shoe.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I mean, look at this leg. Look... look at it there... Oh wait a minute, what's that on- OH, there's a little piece of tape on my shoe!

''{Strong Bad removes the tape, and lowers his leg.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' That's what they were probably talking about. Yeah. You probably misunderstood them, man. No, they probably said I had tape on my leg or my shoe and you thought they said that my leg was made of tape. My leg is not made of tape. Pfffph! I must've just stepped on an innocent piece of tape...tape. ''{stops typing}'' All right, so until next week, send me some good ones. You know, some ''good'' ones.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down.}''
