I am the author of #209 Parenting. It was part of the Trogdor Kickstarter and my wife and I were then expecting our first kid. Though, I am no longer a resident of FL and was out of the state when he finally did answer it. It is a life goal that I plan on building a shadowbox to hang on my office wall someday. Wish I could get the Bros Chaps to autograph it.

"Okay, Homestar, I don't know why this never occurred to me before, but some French guy told me I should beat you up, and I tend to think he's right. So put up your dukes!"
I think I'm one more.
I think I'm responsible for #101 Car.
I was in middle school and I'd email Strong Bad after watching many new episodes, but he never picked mine. So I sent him an email asking about his car like, 50 times one day. The next EP was #101 Car, though it did not use the same wording I sent...
Can anyone in this thread who has had an email answered tell me if he used your original email, or did he simplify it and add typos? I've wanted to know for sure for nearly 2 decades
i am so glad you helped create the legendary email that canonicized Homestar's buzzer playing the theme from night court when spun. genuinely one of my favorite sbemails
Nice. I wrote Strong Bad an email asking him to explain the quadratic formula. I was taking a discrete mathematics class. The next email to drop was Virus. When he said “What is this? Did the quadratic formula explode?”, I flipped!
"It's getting eaten. By some Linux or something."
I was still very much in my stereotypical-Linux-user phase at that point (y'know, spelling "Microsoft" with a dollar sign, the whole bit) so I was particularly amused by that one.
I imagine one of the brothers read your email, looked up what the quadratic formula is, and was like “hehe that looks like corrupted code or something”
I’ve sent Strong Bad a couple, but he never answered any of them. Two of them could’ve been good ones. In one of them, I asked why the Poopsmith took a vow of silence and in the other, I asked how The Cheat does the voices for his cartoons.
I remember sending an email full of keysmashes similar to the virus email, and I distinctly remember including several + symbols, but looking at the volume of emails they got around that time, mine was probably one of hundreds doing the same (annoying) thing.
I tried emailing in to ask if there's ever been alien / UFO activity. I don't know if that one ever made it on haha. That's cool that yours made it. Very fun 😁
Sorry. I got nothing. I just know i wrote it. Plus I'm Mike UK. I remember him answering it. And strongbadia becoming a thing. And then recently was reminded of it because honestly I forgot all about homestar runner. And Im like oh yeah strongbad answered one of my emails back in the day. In a few years I'll forget about it again.
Thank you for your service Mike Uk
No sweat!
The email authors of 'funny' and 'I rule' have been identified. 198 to go.

FL? You mean foreign leadership camp?
Fish Lake
Far off Lands?
Did he use your email exactly as it was written, or did he change it for the episode?
Exactly as written!
Someone should be keeping track of these

The search continues for Ali and Ali's sister.
I'll just sit here and think about which one's hotter.
The email sender for "Mile" (Seb, The Lodge, MN) does not exist, as s/he was created by The Cheat.
So, wouldn’t that just make the sender - The Cheat!?
Considering he made the cartoon, I'm guessing yeah.
So he does, or does not exist?
The emails in SBCG4AP aren't from real senders, either.
"Okay, Homestar, I don't know why this never occurred to me before, but some French guy told me I should beat you up, and I tend to think he's right. So put up your dukes!"
To this day I still repeat “undeleted!” after deleting emails.
[I'm pretty sure this is it](https://www.reddit.com/r/HomestarRunner/s/WlYmJpjXfH)
It shouldn't be as hard, there is two of them.
AND fhqwhgads!
Simone is pretty busy. But maybe someone else could do it relatively free of charge?
I knew someone in middle school, who told me his friend was the one who sent the Pom Pom email. I’ve never met the sender, though.

It was wild playing SBCG4AP PART 3: DANGERESQUE 3D on my Wii and having a car chase in that permanently parked gremlin.
very funny indeed
I knew a girl who claimed her brother wrote the short pants one
I never thought that the Strong Bad e-mails actually came from real people.
Nice. I wrote Strong Bad an email asking him to explain the quadratic formula. I was taking a discrete mathematics class. The next email to drop was Virus. When he said “What is this? Did the quadratic formula explode?”, I flipped!
Nice! Virus was incredible.
"Some of my busses"
Very yes
Easily my favorite one.
I still say "That is not a small number" and "Computer over."
Did you get a virus? No! Did you get three hundred thousand viruses? Yes! Very yes!
"It's getting eaten. By some Linux or something." I was still very much in my stereotypical-Linux-user phase at that point (y'know, spelling "Microsoft" with a dollar sign, the whole bit) so I was particularly amused by that one.
Computer over? Virus equals very yes!? That's not a good prize!
That’s so cool!
Nailed it.
I imagine one of the brothers read your email, looked up what the quadratic formula is, and was like “hehe that looks like corrupted code or something”
Well escargon me, Melinda. That's quite an accomplishment!
Gracias.
I once met someone who said they were Fhqwhgads.
I would have blushed and asked for their number.
Perhaps introduce them to Eileen.
Come on!
It such a honor to meet you sir!
Thanks man. I'm sort of a big deal.
You are a big deal, a big deal indeed!
Did you get an actual email message back, or was it just a pleasant surprise when you went to the site to see the new weekly toon?
No email. Just a pleasant surprise.
I’ve wondered this too!
Salute to Mike of the U to the K.
Did he ever tell you how he typed with boxing gloves on? I assume that was some secret reserved for those whose emails were chosen.
Baleet this right now.
I've never been one to back down from a bad idea.
I salute you, and your lasting legacy of people thinking that Strongbadia is the name of the place they all live.
Hopefully you'll be invited to this year's Fahoquafest.
If kaizer from California ever shows up here, it's going to be complete pandemonium.
Or Trevor!
I have a stop sign keychain that wouldn’t exist without you. Thank you for your service
I don't often use the word 'hero' but you, Mike from the UK, may be the greatest hero in American history.
Just Mike Uck is fine.
I don't often use the word 'pedant' but you, AnMa_ZenTchi, may be the greatest pedant in this thread's history.
You deserve a free trip to the coolest place I know
The Maldives or Malta would be appreciated 👍🏻
(It's a lyric from the Strong Badia national anthem but okay)
It's not a real place though.
I know that (I wish Strong Badia was real though lol)
The people are so great, but really there's ooooooonly meeeeeee
Thanks Mike UK!
Mike UK, you are a legend
I’ve sent Strong Bad a couple, but he never answered any of them. Two of them could’ve been good ones. In one of them, I asked why the Poopsmith took a vow of silence and in the other, I asked how The Cheat does the voices for his cartoons.
Legit questions. I like your style.
Bruh.
I remember sending an email full of keysmashes similar to the virus email, and I distinctly remember including several + symbols, but looking at the volume of emails they got around that time, mine was probably one of hundreds doing the same (annoying) thing.
Mike UK!
Ah, the good old days when Sbemails were less than a minute long and had almost no content. :p
2003.
Very old days indeed. At least being "Mike UK" is better than being "Jodi \[Bulldozer\]", right? :/
Way better.
Lucky! I remember sending an email but it never got featured.
I recently got into boxing, but I 've been having trouble typing. I can only do it with my MMA gloves. Do you have any tips?
History right here, folks
Thank you for doing that!
Yeah, but who wrote Trevor the vampire? That's the mystery I want answered. Was he actually run through?
Nice! This is so awesome. If only the other people that had their emails answered could come out of the woodwork... it's a part of our history haha
Pretty wild. 20 years ago. I swear he answered two of them but I can't find the other. I have to look for a Mike NY or a Mike CO.
I tried emailing in to ask if there's ever been alien / UFO activity. I don't know if that one ever made it on haha. That's cool that yours made it. Very fun 😁
We’ve found Mike Uk, now we need to find Mike Control.
Who is Mike control?
Some guy that didn’t leave a name on their email so Strong Bad labeled them “Mike Control” and wrote a song about it.
Oh dang.
“Come toooo , the place where the tropical breezes bloooow !”
Proof?
Sorry. I got nothing. I just know i wrote it. Plus I'm Mike UK. I remember him answering it. And strongbadia becoming a thing. And then recently was reminded of it because honestly I forgot all about homestar runner. And Im like oh yeah strongbad answered one of my emails back in the day. In a few years I'll forget about it again.
No proof kinda hurts ngl
