Hpemail #14 After a year of no hpemails, the HP gets a new computer and Not The Goblin asks why Horrorguy doesn't has his own wedsite.

Page Title: The Sandy 0.4?!

Running Time: 1:53

Date: May 17th, 2015

Script
HP: {sitting at a kitchen microwave} Emails are like pizzas, they, um... have... some... stuff.


 * DEAR HP, YOU HAVEN'T CHECKED AN EMAIL IN A YEAR. WHY? -THAT GUY

HP: Wait a minute... have I not checked my emails on kitchen appliances all this time?

GOBLIN: Waitwaitwait! HP, you're just copying Strong Bad's email 206.

HP: I know not of this "Strong Bad" of whom you speak.

GOBLIN: You were watching his sbemails all morning!

HP: Oh, yeah. THAT Strong Bad.

GOBLIN: I don't even REMEMBER the last time you checked an original email.

HP: I would do that right now if I had a computer. It exploded in that other email. Hey! I know! I'll get a new computer, and wait until it gets covered in dust, transforming it into&mdash;

GOBLIN: Ahem.

HP: Fine. I'll get a new computer.

GOBLIN: Nah, you can just use my old one.

HP: What is it?

GOBLIN: The Sandy 0.4! It had the best graphics of its time, which was, of course, back in 1978.

HP: This technology is amazing! What else does it do?

GOBLIN: It has an "inter-net" connected to it, so you can go to different websites!

HP: Amazing!

{types horrorguy@something.emails?}

HP: Uh, what's my email adress?

GOBLIN: {sigh} I told you you shouldn't wait a year before checking your email again. It's horriblepainting@emailstyles.egg!

HP: Okay... um... let's see, what email could I answer... AH!

GOBLIN: Strong Bad already did that one.

HP: Well, wha 'bout...

GOBLIN: That one too. That's how Homsar was created.

HP: HOMSAR! Do not speak of that horrible creature. He give-a-me the j-j-jibblie jibblies.

GOBLIN: Try again.

TEXT: A long time later...

GOBLIN: That's almost exactly the same as sbemail 201.

HP: What about this one?

GOBLIN: Hmmm... THIS seems like an original email. I don't think Strong Bad has done this one.

HP: Okay. Hey Not The Goblin, why don't you has your own grammar? Okay, seriously, I don't know why I don't has my own wedsite. I could make one if I knew how.

GOBLIN: I have a website. I made it myself one time.

HP: WHAT?!

GOLBIN: By the way, I got you a new printer.

{The Napkin comes down saying email HP.}

HP: Uh... that's a napkin.
