The Great Debate (Colbert and Strong Bad, semi-open in Great Hall)

[sbisawesome]

Strong Bad did not know that lazy Sunday was for watching the Chronic(what?)cles of Narnia. He was hanging around campus wishing The Cheat would show up so they could plot some capers. Since The Cheat was not forthcoming, after a while he moseyed over to the Great Hall in search of melonade

It so happened that the great Professor Colbert, believer in truthiness, justice, and America (which so totally pwned Strongbadia, so help him God), had decided to come down to the Great Hall in search of pumpkin juice. He was busy pouring himself a goblet (and trying very hard not to look up at the milk) when

Strong Bad could not believe the audacity of this interloper, interrupting the noble anthem of Strongbadia. "America? America?" A look of recognition can't exactly dawn on a wrestling mask, but he did seem to register some kind of connection. "You mean Free Country, USA? Man, where've you been for the last, I dunno, coupla years? Strongbadia is where it's at and has been ever since the days of yore, the dawn of the wireless web and energy drinks."

What could that mean? The suggestion that a country could be better than America was beyond lunacy; it was approaching heresy.

"I'm afraid you're mistaken," Colbert countered, eyebrows twisting into a challenging stare. "America is not only where it's at, it's where it always has been and always will be. No other country, no 'Strongbadia' - what kind of name is that? - could possibly compare to the beauty of the good ol', red-white-and-blue U.S. of A. We invented the wireless web, and energy drinks were perfected by us! We were stealing the fire from the heathen gods and spreading liberty and democracy while your little 'Strongbadia' was still a fledgling colony." He'd never heard of Strongbadia, and was no expert on the wireless web nor energy drinks, but his gut told him that he was correct in all his assumptions. "Not only that, but Jesus is rooting for us. We can't lose!"

Oh, that was it. This guy, whoever he was, was going down. Not that way!!

"First off, what do you mean 'what kind of name is that'?! Strongbadia is named after its benevolent leader, me, Strong Bad. Can't think of a better name than that. What's America named after, some chick named Erica? Who's neither strong nor bad?

"Second. Liberty? Strongbadia has got liberty in spades. Strongbadia was founded on the principles of liberty. The liberty to put ketchup on your eggs without being hassled by The Man. And we don't need to steal fire from any gods because if we want fire, we just go borrow a lighter from Bubs or something, because we're that technologically advanced. We even have a space program!

"Finally, I'd like to see this Jesus guy take on Strong Mad. We defeated the Homestarmy with nothing but a badminton racquet and we can defeat Jesus. Whoever he is."
