'''ARUSEUS:''' ''{while typing "run_arumail.exe"}'': Doo doo doo doo, the e-mail is checked.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="email"><br />
<div>subject: worst!</div><br />
Dear Whats-Your-Face,<br><br />
What was the worest thing that <br><br />
happened to you? Please tell the<br> <br />
whole story! <br><br />
Hope it got all better<br><br />
-X66x66</blockquote><br />
''{As he reads, Aruseus says "Whats-your-face" as "Aruseus", pronounces "worest" as "wore-est", and says "X66x66" as "two-exty sixty-six"}'' <br />
<br />
<blockquote>'''NAMINE:''' So many pronunciation mistakes that, even intentionally, it's still a bit jarring to witness.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''ARUSEUS:''' ''{typing}'' Whoa! A future e-mail from the year 2X66? Nah. Must be the guy's name. ''{clears screen}'' <br />
<br />
'''ARUSEUS:''' ''{typing}'' Well, X66 guy, there i something that I just can't forget...it gives me the jibblies! Jibblie jibbile...''{runs out screaming}''<br />
<br />
''{Tom comes in from the right side of the screen and gets on the computer.}''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>'''NAMINE:''' Aruseus fumbles the ball, but Tom recovers it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''TOM:''' ''{typing}'' Sorry, man. Aruseus doesn't like to talk about things like this. I'll tell you though.<br />
<br />
''{The screen fades to black, then fades back in to see Aruseus checking his e-mail.}''<br />
<br />
'''ARUSEUS:''' ''{while typing "run_arumail.exe"}'': Flashback e-mail.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="email"><br />
<div>subject: surprise!</div><br />
Dearest Aruseus,<br><br />
I have a surprise for you.<br><br />
If you want to see it, come<br> <br />
upstairs in your room. <br><br />
<br><br />
-Anonymous Contributor</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''ARUSEUS:''' I see Strong Bad met you once, but I'll see your little surprise, Anony.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>'''NAMINE:''' Ah, the 2-for-1 deal. Strong Bad's favorite thing to do sometimes when he can't pick between two emails! At any rate, the Anonymous Contributor connection didn't click until a while back.</blockquote><br />
<br />
''{Aruseus walks upstairs to his room, when he gets there, his jaw drops to see...}''<br />
<br />
'''POLKA-MAN:''' Yello there! I'd love to dance for you!<br />
<br />
'''ARUSEUS:''' AAAAHH!!!! MY WORST NIGHTMARE HAS HAPPENED!<br />
<br />
<blockquote>'''NAMINE:''' Wait, a Polka-<br><br />
'''NAMINE:''' Okay, the pronunciation of the term "Polka-man" is somewhat funny but I don't get how it's Aruseus' "worst fear"</blockquote><br />
<br />
''{Aruseus jumps out a window labeled, "Escape Window". A bang and a crack is heard. Cut to the outside of Tom's house, Aruseus lying there, hurt from the fall}''<br />
<br />
'''ARUSEUS:''' ''{weakly}'' Ow...my back...<br />
<br />
''{The screen fades to black, Cut to a hospital, shown through Aruseus' eyes, Marzipan and Tom are standing there}''<br />
<br />
'''ARUSEUS:''' ''{weakly}'' Uhhgh...what happened?<br />
<br />
'''MARZIPAN:''' You jumped out of a window and broke your back during the fall. <br />
<br />
'''ARUSEUS:''' What about The Polka-Man?<br />
<br />
'''MARZIPAN:''' He's gone back to 1936. You may never see him again in this timezone.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>'''NAMINE:''' Because that's totally how timezones work.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''ARUSEUS:''' ''{gets up}'' Awesome! ''{slightly cracks back}'' Ow. ''{lays back down}'' <br />
<br />
'''TOM:''' Next time, try building a slide outside your escape window, or build an escape window on the first floor.<br />
<br />
'''ARUSEUS:''' Ugh...Alright.<br />
<br />
'''TOM:''' You will have to stay here for another week, ''{checks watch}'' Oh, visiting hours are over. Rest well!<br />
<br />
'''ARUSEUS:''' Wow...that Tom is such a great guy.<br />
<br />
''{Cut back to Tom at Lappy}''<br />
<br />
'''TOM:''' ''{typing}'' So that's the story. Here we are a week later and Aruseus is feeling better. There is a slide now outside the escape window, so he doesn't break his back. I better go check on him. ''{Gets up and leaves, Cut to Aruseus' room}''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>'''NAMMINE:''' Should've warned him about the stairs, bro. Should've told him, dog.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''ARUSEUS:''' ''{shivering}'' Make him go away, Lyle, make The evil Polka go away...<br />
<br />
'''TOM:''' Aruseus, are you okay?<br />
<br />
'''ARUSEUS:''' ''{scared}'' AHH! ''{calmed}'' Oh, it's just you, Tom.<br />
<br />
'''TOM:''' Yeah. It's me again. You better get down there and finish checking that e-mail!<br />
<br />
'''ARUSEUS:''' Yes, sir! ''{Runs out}''<br />
<br />
'''TOM:''' ''{Hops on bed}'' Now time to watch some Caleb Rentpayer!<br />
<br />
<blockquote>'''NAMINE:''' Another contrived Homestar Runner reference! How will Aruseus Emails survive on its own two feet?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''TUCKSWORTH:''' Caleb Rentpayer! Why are you hitting my fine china!?<br />
<br />
<blockquote>'''NAMINE:''' Thankfully at least this line is partway original.</blockquote><br />
<br />
''{Cut back to Lappy}''<br />
<br />
'''ARUSEUS:''' ''{typing}'' So there you have it X-man. I told you the worst thing that has ever happened to me.<br />
<br />
''{The Paper comes down}''<br />
<br />
== Easter Eggs ==<br />
<br />
*Click on Aruseus to see an extra scene.<br />
<br />
''{Cut back to Aruseus' room, Tom is still watching TV}'''<br />
<br />
'''TUCKSWORTH:''' Homestar Runnner, did you shoot Caleb?<br />
<br />
'''TOM:''' Holy crap! I never knew that.<br />
<br />
== Fun Facts ==<br />
<br />
*The email song is a take on "The System is Down".<br />
*Aruseus mentioning Strong Bad's connection with Anonymous Contributor is a reference to SBemail "rock opera".<br />
<br />
<blockquote>'''NAMINE:''' I'm guessing the other possible facts I could get from this episode don't qualify as "fun"</blockquote></div>Noxigar
