Everyone thought he was crazy but I knew what he meant...

I had gone to this random party a while back, a Lambda Lambda Lambda party to be exact. Just so we're up to speed, it was Lambda Lambda Lambda as in Revenge of the Nerds. The party I was traveling with entered, we spotted some weird kids on the 1st floor being creepy by the full bar, and some more laid back folks downstairs, adjacent to the keg. This being Gainesville, we traveled downstairs to the basement/garage. At some point, a new group of kids came in and made friends with the keg. It was clear one member of the party had gotten a head start as he made his presence known, not in an obnoxious way but in a way where you made baby steps backwards from his spinning diameter and general aura to observe and chuckle from a distance.
Right so. Once he meets us, he starts getting all excited about this website he's just discovered, Homestarrunner dot com. And he proceeds to reenact some of the short vids he's had the chance to download. Granted, I hadn't seen all of them, but I knew what he was talking about! And more over, I LOVED HOMESTAR RUNNER!! Of course, because he was slightly disturbing, I did not allow this fact to be known so as to avoid having to continue making conversation.

The real gem of the website is Strong Bad's e-mail. He's witty, He's almost charming, He loves calling you Crap For Brains, and he moonlights as a comic, which is excellently exhibited in the Teen Girl Squad.

Find the website yourself. I'm not providing the links. For one, I'm lazy. But also, this is a treasure who's enjoyability is maximized by doing it yourself, plus, it's fun to explore everything Homestar has to offer.

Go forth now, but avoid the drunken fans at fake frat parties.
