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

Houston Astros

The same day I mailed this letter I also sent a letter asking some folks for a rock. I chose the Astros as recipients BECAUSE they had virtually no infield dirt at the Astrodome. That seemed funnier to me. Check out the reference to Martinson's Coffee. When I mention a coffee brand that's generally the one. It pops up elsewhere.



Much to my surprise, and delight, they responded. But they couldn't possibly be fulfilling my request, could they?

This box is slightly smaller than one that would fit a bowling ball.

Wow! Dirt!

When I got to the part of the letter where I mentioned mud pies I figured they would only send dirt if they thought I was a recovering mental patient.

Part of me thinks they were going along with the gag, but the letter is so straightforward I think Bobby Forrest and the rest of the folks over at the Astros were just being friendly.

South Dakota Dept of Enviornment

I was trying to figure out what I could get people to send me. More importantly, would anyone take a letter arriving on this stationery seriously?





Eric is way too nice. I wonder if he checked with my psychiatrist. Chiam Witz is the given name of KISS co-founder Gene Simmoms. Obviously Eric isn't a KISS fan.

The rock and the letter were jangling around in this box.

It's pretty nice looking, as far as rocks go I suppose.

McDonalds

I went through a period where I was trying to collect some fairly strange stuff. The item I request here is kind of tame compared to some others I asked for. Look for more letters requesting items soon.




How hard would it have been to comply with my request? It would have taken someone 10 minutes to fake it. Instead they act flattered. Please.

They all think they can buy my love with coupons. I'm not for sale. Well not this cheaply.
