Dear Mr Hollo, Thank you for your outpouring of gullibility -- I mean, generosity. We must sadly decline your offer of the Reuterz articles, as Little Frederick has bit the dust in a tragic, but entirely exciting end following the use of a microwave oven as a sauna. Those damned things -- they tell you in big, bold letters not to stick your head in one, but where are the government labels to warn about the hampsters? Though our management feels very strongly that the Reuterz pieces would fetch a much, much higher price than what you quote, we are so stricken with grief over the loss of our furry Canadian friend that we are taking the Little Freddie Foundation bank account on a permanent vacation in the Caribbean. We will be busy spending the next few months evading the authorities and PETA, all while working feverishly on our tans. Thus we will not be able to accept your generous offer. However, we are looking into the purchase of a yak farm in Mongolia and establishing a new, non-profit foundation for the poor, poor creatures. If you know anything about the lifespan of a yak, you know that those miserable, foul-smelling beasts will definitely be looking forward to your donations of rare Aphex and other IDM-related MP3s. Our fundraiding -- ahem, fundraising team will be in touch. In the meantime, please enjoy these complimentary brunch certificates from the Flin Flon, Manitoba-area Olive Garden restaurant. The waiters and dishwashers await your visit with the most eager of spirits and stalest of breadsticks. Warmest Regards, Alex Reynolda Project Lead, Exploitation Division The Little Freddie Foundation Manitoba, Canada --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
