I'm sorry it's been so long everybody.  As Strongbad said, we went off to our family reunion, which ended up being one big long beat-up-Strongsad time.  For me that meant a long recovery time.  I'm glad I hid the ones, otherwise we'd probably still be there.  Anyway, I was so depressed when I got home that I quietly sobbed in my room until I got an email.  Apparently Strongbad isn't the only one who gets them.  It was so uplifting, that I thought I'd share it with you and answer it, ala Strongbad email. 

"hey there. How did you get so fat?"

Well, I'll tell you.  Back when we were all little strongs, I ate a lot to try to be as big as Strongmad.  Unfortunately, instead of getting strong like him, I just got bigger and bigger.  In the end it worked out.  Now it doesn't hurt nearly as much when Strongbad hits me with keyboards. 
So, thanks for the email.  I don't know how long I would've been locked in my room if I hadn't gotten it.  Although I came so close to smiling that I strained a muscle in my face.  Now I have to spend Decemberween healing.  But I guess I usually do.  Happy Decemberween everybody.

you'd wimper too if you were me....
