Post subject: | Abdi LaRue |
hello folks, has anyone come forward as Abdi LaRue, the author of the first Strong Bad email, Some Kinda Robot? I think he lives down the street from me, but I haven't worked up the courage to ask him. (The guys name is Abdi L, I don't know the last name for sure yet.) I live in Minneapolis, but he may have moved since whenever the email was sent. |

Mail him a letter. People enjoy letters. I enjoy letters very much. : D |

I dunno. Abdi ISN'T that common a name, it's true, but more than one person has got to be named Abdi L. Hmmmm. Well, like Chekt said. Sending him a letter wouldn't hurt. |

Do you live in San Diego? I am aware that people move. |

Anyway, I have to agree: Abdi isn't that common a name. But I agree: sending him a letter is probably the best way to ask. How you'll go about doing that I have no clue though. |

Probably gonna be merged with the Abdi LaRue thread. I hope anyway. But that's a good question, longo. How DID the first people discover homestarrunner.com? How did SB's address even get out anyway? |

The site had been up for a year and a half before the first Strong Bad Email. some kinda robot commentary wrote: MATT: I think that's right. And Abdi LaRue was— this was from before we started doing this, we sent out, was it a fan list?
MIKE: Yeah, it was like a list. MATT: Yeah, the few, just the 10 people who had ever emailed us. Also, news of the site spread through word of mouth. I guess they just told their friends about it, and it spread from there. |

True, Shwoo, but how did people figure out you could even email SB? Was it like something TBC announced on their mailing list? |

I thought they sent it out in their mailing list. I remember hearing something about how they were going to answer every email in character as Strong Bad, and also animate a short about Strong Bad answering one of the emails, but they quickly got too many for that to be feasible. |

talked to my neighbor Abdi today, I asked if he had heard of the site, and he said he hasn't. Guess this can be closed now. |

Closed? I say hecks no! I'm actually intrigued by this. I say we keep this thread open for our general musings and search attempts for this elusive Abdi. Just so long as this doesn't get spammy, I'm fine with this. |

I've looked this up before on a couple of websites, and have found an Abdi LaRue in San Diego who's about 32 or 33 years old. There's no way of knowing for sure obviously, but I thought it was interesting. I found it on Intelius and White Pages. |

Wasn't there some old games menu that had an 'email Strong Bad!' link? EDIT: Oh, yep, here it is. That was the Games menu from 2001-2002. so it could've been up before SBEmail started. |

Abdi is a guy? Sounds like a girl (like Abby or something). Shows how much I know. You'd think living in Houston w/ all the internationals around I'd know that. So what kind of name is it? |

Oh, sure, everybody's interested in Abdi, but nobody's out there looking for Vinnie C. Everybody wants #1, not #2. *insert obligatory bathroom joke* But come on, the guy created Homsar! Well, not on purpose, but still! - Kef |

The first one I saw was japanese cartoon, followed shortly by dragon. furrykef wrote: Oh, sure, everybody's interested in Abdi, but nobody's out there looking for Vinnie C.

I always kinda wondered if Vinny C still keeps up with Homestar Runner, and, if so, whether he glows with pride or does a self-facepalm every time Homsar appears. It'd be pretty weird to have a typo you made not only immortalized, but personified.
