On his way back to Marizpan's, Homestar dons his new shades... which are covered with paint to the point that he completely fails to recognize Strong Sad.



Homestar decides to give Strong Sad an opportunity to "get lucky" and hands him the yellow paint, but then Homestar's drippy shades cause him to blunder into Strong Bad's "Death Hole"... a small pit in the middle of the Field that doesn't even reach up to Homestar's waist.

Homestar tries to do something constructive. Strong Sad gets a date. Marzipan forms a band with Strong Mad and The Cheat. Bubs decides to stick it to the man.

Homestar tries to and Marzipan are hanging out in Marzi's living room, but Homestar is growing bored.

->'''Marzipan:''' Why did you write "Cool tapes" on my wall?!\\
'''Homestar:''' Um, hello? Maybe because I like cool tapes.\\
'''Marzipan:''' Well, I hope you like cool painting, because this has got to go!\\
'''Homestar:''' (''imitating a trombone'') Mwah-bwah-bwahhh...

Homestar heads to Bubs' Concession Stand to pick up three cans of yellow paint (and a pair of cool shades). Unfortunately,
Bubs decides is closed ("Cutbacks, layoffs, downsizing, you know the drill..."), even though he and the cans of paint Homestar needs are standing right there. Fortunately, while Bubs can't sell Homestar anything, Homestar manages to convince Bubs to ''steal'' the paint for him ("I never pass up an opportunity to stick it to the man.man!"), and Bubs even throws in the cool shades, which are stashed in "can number two".

Homestar dons his new shades... which are covered with paint to the point that he completely fails to recognize Strong Sad.

->'''Homestar:''' Oh, hello, Dripping Yellow Madness!\\
'''Strong Sad:''' What? I'm Strong Sad. Dripping Yellow Madness moved away after the fifth grade.\\
'''Homestar:''' Look, I'd love to stay and argue that you are in fact Dripping Yellow Madness, but this paint and I have a date with a wall.\\
'''Strong Sad:''' I wish I had a date with a wall.

Homestar decides to give Strong Sad an opportunity to "get lucky" and hands him the yellow paint, but then Homestar's drippy shades cause him to blunder into Strong Bad's "Death Hole"... a small pit in the middle of the Field that doesn't even reach up to Homestar's waist.

->'''Homestar:''' Aaaaaaaaaaah! I'm at the bottom of a giant piiiiit...\\
'''Strong Sad:''' Homestar, take off those stupid cool shades.\\
'''Homestar:''' Yeah, I should probably return these things.

Back at Bubs' (which is open again, and "UNDER OLD MANAGEMENT"), Homestar tries to return the not-so-cool shades, but runs into a bit of trouble when he doesn't have a receipt.

->'''Homestar:''' The sales representative I dealt with gave them to me... free of charge. I believe... his name was Stan.\\
'''Bubs:''' Stan?! I fired that guy after the fifth grade!

Homestar is forced to trade his shades for "an item of lesser or much lesser value", but he seems satisfied with a sandwich bag with four grapes in it.

Later that afternoon, back at Marzipan's, Homestar is baffled to find Marzipan with her guitar Carol, Strong Bad with an electric bass, and The Cheat with a drum set.

->'''Homestar:''' What in Pete Sampras is going on here?!\\
'''Marzipan:''' Well... you took too long, so Strong Mad, and The Cheat and I formed a band called Cool Tapes. (''smiles sheepishly'')\\
'''Homestar:''' Oh, really?! What kind of... music do you play?

Marzipan and the rest of "Cool Tapes" proceed to bust out a catchy little folk-rock jam for Homestar.

->'''Marizpan:''' (''singing'') ''Cool tapes are cool, 'cause they're where it is at,\\
Cool tapes are cool, and we like it like that!\\
Cool tapes! Cool tapes!\\
We like to get it down with the cool, cool tapes,\\
We like to get down with...'' um... (''music stops'') uh...\\
'''Homestar:''' A bag of four grapes?\\
'''Marzipan:''' (''music starts again'') A bag of four graaapes!

* CoolShades: Homestar orders a pair along with the yellow paint. They're not as cool as they could be, since they're covered in paint so that he can't see anything while wearing them.
