<blockquote class="short tandy email">Dear strong bad,<br/>
my brothers are always telling me that your <br/>
legs are made of tape, is that true?<br/>
-Nicolas</blockquote>
<p><b>STRONG BAD:</b> Nee-<i>co</i>-las. <i>{typing}</i> 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.
</p><p><i>{Strong Bad stops typing and lifts up his leg, where a piece of masking tape is stuck on the bottom of his shoe.}</i>
</p><p><b>STRONG BAD:</b> 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!
</p><p><i>{Strong Bad removes the tape, and lowers his leg.}</i>
</p><p><b>STRONG BAD:</b> <i>{typing}</i> 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. <i>{stops typing}</i> All right, so until next week, send me some good ones. You know, some <i>good</i> ones.

</li><li>The audio quality changes for the line "Pfffph! I must've just stepped on an innocent piece of tape...tape." and then changes back for the rest of the email.
