The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum

I'm not quite sure what my obsession is with the fake title "Junior Botanist" but I can tell you I love using it. Never hurts to mention Neil Young either

Bruce Museum

Driving North on I-95 a couple of miles after entering Connecticut is a sign that Reads "Bruce Museum Exit 3." This presented the perfect opportunity to mention Bruce Springsteen.

Oops in addition to the the entire history of their museum I also got Hollister's name wrong.

Looks rather intimidating to me.

Delta Blues Museum

By the time I wrote this letter, The Simpsons had been on the air for over 8 years. Everyone has heard of The Simpsons, haven't they? Always good to see Uncle Irwin get a shout out.







Glad to hear they're renovating the Old Freight Depot. I Don't know how that info hadn't reached me in NJ before this letter.

National Model Railroad Association

It seemed hard to believe that there was an organization dedicated to Model Railroads. As dull as this group sounded to me, I was going to make them an offer that was even duller than I thought they were.

Imagine my shock when they said they were into it!

Not only did they want my videotapes, they wanted me to know all about their organization. Thank goodness they highlighted the important passages.

What, nothing important on the back?

Once piece of literature wasn't enough....

See what fun you can have if you join their club?! Yippee!

I can be very patient. I claimed I had 6 months to live in the first letter. I waited almost 9 months and wrote them back. Well my fake son wrote them. Of course I had to offer them something I was sure they didn't want. You may want to check out the Taxidermy letter after this one.

The most amazing thing is not that they couldn't accept the corpse, nor is it the fact that they still don't realize the whole thing is a joke. The real shocker is that they actually looked into taking my dead body. Really!? Come on people, wake up!

Considering how good these people were about getting back to me I figured a 3rd letter was in order.

It's absolutely astounding to me how badly they seem to want this footage I claim to have. I was tempted to shoot a couple of hours worth of useless footage and send it to them but never did.

Campbell House

I've always enjoyed mistaking some small museum or organization with a corporate Monolith. Who on earth would target a museum dedicated to soup as their vacation getaway?





Those proper Canadians are way too polite to tell me I'm nuts.

Graceland

This is an example of a letter I really din't expect any reply to. At the time I recall it seeming way over the top to me. I've loved Elvis for years. But not the way the version of me writing the letter loves Elvis. That's just not normal.



It figures that when I didn't expect a reply I got one. A sort of scary one too.
