'''STRONG BAD:''' Umm... I don't know... I'm gonna check my email.

<blockquote>
>DEAR STRONGBAD 
>MY GIRLFRIEND WON'T TALK TO ME ANYMORE 
>BECAUSE SHE IS IN LOVE WITH YOU. I DON'T 
>KNOW WHAT TO DO, MAYBE YOU COULD TELL 
>HER THAT I AM COOL AND YOU ARE TAKEN. 
>SINCERELY 
>YOUR JEALOUS FAN, 
>DANIEL
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads in a loud monotone to reflect that the email was written entirely in capital letters.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Number A, you don't have to shout. Do you know how many Internet etiquette laws you're breaking by typing in all caps like that? Well, you're breaking one: Don't type in all caps. Anyway, sure Daniel, I'll tell her. Put her on.

{''Strong Bad clears the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Dear Daniel's girlfriend, maybe I should tell you that Daniel is cool. And that I am taken. Yeah... Yeah... Taken by a whole buncha girls that are way hotter than you, baby. So sorry sweetie, tootsie-pie, sugarbob, funky bunch. Anyways, they're all right here. Uh... They're climbing all over me. Um, say hello, ladies.

''{Strong Bad clears the screen again, then types different messages from different "ladies" on the screen.}''

<blockquote>
>Hi!!!! g2g!! ;) 
> 
> What's up?? Strong Bad roxors!! lmao! _^.^_ 
> 
>''I'm way prettier than you.''''''':P''''' 
> 
>ThuggaChik48031 in tha hizzy. SB is the shizzle. p's 
</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So as you can see, they're all really nice, and hot and very web savvy. So you don't have a chance with me, sugarbob. You might as well just stick with Daniel over here. I can't see you doing any better. Okay, put Daniel back on. Okay, Daniel, it's all taken care of. Though I'd probably buy her some stuff and start working out just in case. I am quite a catch. ''{stops typing}'' Okay, everybody. Bye.

''{Strong Bad gets up and leaves. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

== Fun Facts ==

* The messages from the "ladies" make sounds from [[Apple Computer|Apple]]'s [[Mac OS X]] when they appear (Mac OS X is an operating system for [[Apple Macintosh|Macintosh]] computers). Some of them could be submarine, glass, temple, and purr.
* The "Internet etiquette" that Strong Bad is referring to is [[Netiquette]], a list of rules, guidelines, and basic etiquette for the Internet. There actually ''is'' a rule not to type in all caps unless you really mean it.

('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]], [[Marzipan]])

'''MIKE:''' So, Marzipan's in the studio with us, and, uh, we're going to do a little song about this email! Hit it, Marzipan!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Because it's so boring. Okay, here we go! A one and a two and a one two three.

''{Marzipan starts playing Carol. Sleigh bells are heard consistently throughout, and an accordion can be heard occasionally towards the end.}''

<blockquote>
>Sugarpie, sugarbob 
>Sugarpie, sugarbob 
>Schnizzle 
> 
>Sugarpie, sugarpie, 
>Sugarpie, sugarpie, 
>Schnizzle to the izzle 
> 
>Sugarbob, sugarbob, 
>Sugarbob, sugarbob 
>You're not very good 
> 
>You're kind of boring 
>Kind of boring 
>And there are no pictures 
> 
>Sugarpie, sugarpie 
>Sugarpie, sugarbob 
>To the izzle

>Schnizzle, schnizzle 
>Schnizzle, fizzle

>I have nothing left to say 
>Except there's nothing 
> 
>Nothing to say 
>Nothing to say 
>Does anybody like this email? 
> 
>Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
</blockquote>

'''MARZIPAN:''' And now, I can do my scales.

''{Marzipan plays a scale on Carol}''

'''MATT:''' Oh, what scale was that one, Ms. Pan?

'''MARZIPAN:''' I think it might've been the A Minor.

'''MATT:''' Nice. What else you got? We've got some more time here.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I have a very sad song.

'''MATT:''' Oh, let's hear it! Quick, quick, though!

''{Marzipan starts playing Carol}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{singing}'' It's the saddest song.

'''MIKE:''' That's it!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{singing}'' Sad ''{is cut off}''

=== Fun Facts ===

* Marzipan actually plays an A major scale, not an A minor.
