I just was fooling around with the computer in order to prevent myself from studying for my english exam, and noticed something. E-mails are funny to watch if you have like five of the same e-mail going at once, each like 2-3 seconds infront of the other one. i found this possible by using AM browser, which opens up a new window everytime you type in a new address. it gives a new rise to old favorites like: caffeine, or morning routien. Try it today!

Well, I'll try it...
Sometimes before I've had it where I accidentally opened the same one twice within about a half second. That was kinda cool. And that happened once when I was watching a new one for the first time. It was sort of scary. I was like "why does strong bad have an echo in this email?".

EDIT: oh wow that was kinda fun. I had 46, 47, 48, and 49 going at the same time. See here. I used internet explorer just so I could play the flash file plain and fit all four at the same time.

okay, update! i just tried to play ALL the sbemails at once, and i got up to like email 104. most of it was garble but it had the occasional DELETED or TROGDOR! or any musical thing. the reason i only got to email 104 was after that, my computer shut down. I didn't shut it down, it shut itself down! OVERLOAD'd

Ha, that was funny. I started out with the last five emails but it was so much sound and I couldn't hear what Strong Bad was saying. Then I closed two at random and it was cool.

Why doesn't Homestar go on a rampage? It's kind of creepy sooo borrring counting bricks leagal rampage.

Yeah, that was cool.

Okay, I'm confused now. What's with the "Hot Lava" tub in the upper-right part? I ain't never seen no hot lava in a sbemail.

What email was that?

It's in email number 46, "your friends."
Strong Bad tells Homestar to stick his head in there.

I'm surprised you didn't know that, Jitka. I thought you were Mr. Expert-haxxor over there.

Huh.


I've played more than one at a time, but it gets kinda earsplitting after about the twentieth one you open.

This is really easy in Firefox - just go to the page on the wiki, scroll down to the external links, and Ctrl+Click on the "Watch the toon" link a few times.

Secret, Pom Pom, Video Games, Couch Patch, And Boring? Man, that is a weird combo. And you still have IE, which sucks, royally.

Seriously, does anyone know how to make the plain flash file play in firefox, like if I go to this link it will play in firefox instead of asking where to save it? I've been messing around for months in about:config, and I can get flash from most sites to work, but not from homestarrunner.com.

Works ine for me. Make sure you don't have anything installed that might do that.

Every now and again it does that for me, but most of the time it works perfect.

Whoa, that was AWESOME. And trippy, to say the least. Here's a screenshot of mine, 4 pretty easily identifiable ones:

Happens to me, too, ed. If I want to watch the Flash file, I usually just use IE. Guh.

Do different town 4 times. Not only do you get to hear the echo thing multiplied, but you can hear 4 Strong Bads sing a song.

Welllllllllllllllllll...
