== Fun Facts ==

=== Trivia ===

* This is the debut of The Cheat's computer, [[Tangerine Dreams]].
* This is the first mention of the [[Food Court|food court]].
* The [[YouTube]] description for this email is "Strong Bad makes fun of grammar and stuff."

=== Remarks ===

* "I she be" is possibly a typo of "I should be" or "I shall be".
* When first responding to the email, Strong Bad says, "All i gotta say..." The ''I'' is [[Lowercase i's|not capitalized]].
* There is a space between each letter and three spaces between each word in "G E T I N L I N E S I S T E R ! ! !" when Strong Bad types it. There is also a space before every question mark and exclamation mark in the second paragraph.
* In the [[credit card|previous email]], Strong Bad forwarded an email to [[Homestar Runner]] by simply typing "forward message".
* At the top of the IM window, it says "instant messenge". "Messenge" is not a word, though it may be a play on, or a misspelling of, the word "messenger".
* The IM conversation between The Cheat and gr8lookinggrrl contains several instances of [[Internet Slang]].
* There is dispute on [[Strong Mad]]'s height. This email says 6 feet, while [[the facts]] says he's 88 inches (7'4") tall. The secret Strong Mad [https://old.homestarrunner.com/smsticker.html sticker page] indicates that he is 8'3" and 900 lbs.
* The Cheat's last two IM posts have a space between his username and what he had typed, though none of the other messages do.

=== Inside References ===

* In [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]], if The Cheat's costume is chosen as the viewer's favorite, the word "Cheatachu" is in the body of the email (which itself is a reference to the species [[Pikachu]] from ''[[Pokémon]]'').

=== Real-World References ===

* The IM program is most likely [[AOL Instant Messenger]] (AIM). The sounds for sending and receiving a message in this email are the default ones for AIM, and the blue and red font colors used for the two names is an AIM default.
* [[Sbarro]] is a restaurant chain that serves Italian-style food. It can be found in many mall food courts.
* The song that Strong Bad sings at the start of this email is the theme to the popular '80s kids' TV show [[He-Man|''He-Man and the Masters of the Universe'']].
* The "same Strong Bad time, same Strong Bad channel" is a reference to the '60s [[Batman]] TV show, which ended "Tune in next week, same Bat-time, same Bat-channel."
