Other Character Email The Wheelchair/snails/Commentary
From Homestar Runner Fanstuff Wiki
JERM: All right, here we have snails, where The Wheelchair tries to actually go to Homestar Runner dot com!
HRFJCM: Yeah, major fourth wall break. Who do you think was the friend that told him to go there?
JERM: Eh, probably someone named Matt...Chapman.
HRFJCM: {laughs} Anyway, this is my favorite email. Mostly because it is the first one to introduce new characters. George, who is one of my favorite characters and Rockholz, whose human form is my favorite character. It also references France, where I want to go to one day. I don't eat snails, though. That's disgusting. {pauses} Hey, look, we're about to go into a flashback! Nevermind, Wheely stopped it.
JERM: Yar, um...why are there little kids in The Wheelchair's basement echoing up into The Wheelchair's computer room, anyway? I find this...disturbing, to say the least.
HRFJCM: And now he's telling us about some other characters' gross eating habits. Hey, what do you think Keyboard Strong Bad's favorite food is?
JERM: Probably digital roadkill. Mmmmmm...
HRFJCM: Oh, here comes the flashback! Yuck! Did he just devour that mollusk and lick his lips? I didn't even know he had lips. Do they really eat snails in Paris, JeRM? Or did you not look it up?
JERM: It's a common cartoon cliché in cartoons and such, but they really do eat snails in France. Just look it up on Wikipedia. Anyways, another common cliché is getting a bill that's a lot of money, and then the waiter saying "Sorry sir, wrong bill", which then the bill turns out even larger than before. And here's my take on it.
HRFJCM: Heh, the best two cents he ever spent. A running gag on the real website.
JERM: WAH! That's a running gag on the real website?
HRFJCM: Yep, you can look up Best/Worst X bucks I ever spent on the Knowledge Base for more information. And here he's talking about George, his "best friend".
JERM: Yeah, it's really, really, changed since then. I pretty sure George now would laugh as The Wheelchair is lowered into a volcano than save him. But anyway, how did George even find Rockholz in the first place? Was he just on the street curled up in a ball?
HRFJCM: Maybe. Yay! Another flashback! How is The Wheelchair skating with ice skates? Are they attached to his wheels or something?
JERM: Prolly. And who placed that whale under the ice risk?
HRFJCM: I don't know, but it must've been pretty cold for The Wheelchair to just freeze in mid-air like that.
JERM: And here comes the dramatic (or so) introduction of Rockholz!
HRFJCM: And now, The Wheelchair threatens to eat George for the first time! And the email is almost over. Dang, that was short.
JERM: Yar, it is! You chose the 58 line one! And here's Rockholz getting impatient...and there's no fight scene because that's an easter egg. A short one.
