Fucking awesome writeups

SUBJ: Is this you?
Just taking a stab at a random email address. You should really put up a Facebook page or something and make it a little easier to track you down. It’s 2017 for crying out loud!
Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for your writing. Gravity’s Rainbow is one of the most erotic novels I’ve ever enjoyed reading, and not a year goes by that I don’t revisit it while alone on some dark evening in the bath. It’s like Mapplethorpe meets model rockets. I love it, and have lost several friendships from vociferously forcing it on people to read.
Is there a part two on the way? Would love to see a 000001. You could start crankin’ those things out like Wolverine clones, honestly. Update your profile pic while you’re at it!
Lost at the Hermann Göring Casino,

Remembering I never posted all of these. Should I?
@dave Yes.
@dave Please.
@dave yes. I missed most of them.
@dave Yes. They really were reminiscent of The Lazlo Letters in the best possible way.
@dave duh.
@dave Definitely. These could stand on their own as a classic meh feature!
@dave You have to ask???
@dave
@dave did you really need to ask?

SUBJ: We cool?
Hey Wil,
Long time no chat. So long, in fact, I just wanted to drop a line and say hi.
I miss you buddy.
Seems like you’re doing well. Not to get all stalkery or whatever, lol, but you do put your life out there on social media in that typical celebrity fashion so I feel like it’s not super weird that I read about your gaming sessions on your blog and watch videos of you and pause them whenever you smile.
Anyhoo, I know I’ve said it a million times already but I’m really, really, REALLY sorry for calling you “Lil’ Wil Wheat Thin.” It was juvenile and stupid and to be honest it doesn’t even really make a lot of sense, I was just riffing on similar sounding words. I’ve never even seen you EAT Wheat Thins, tbh. For all I know you hate ‘em. Or love ‘em. Either way, man.
Also totally not a big deal and no pressure but I was just remembering that time you sort of promised you’d snag me one of Michael Dorn’s old prosthetic foreheads and like I said I totally don’t expect you to like, leap into action to make that happen or whatever. It’s just that I had a video of you saying it when I cornered you at that Dave & Buster’s and it made me think “Wow that’s sort of like a legally binding contract” or whatever but I’m not being that guy. Just let me know when you think you’ll get around to asking him.
Boldly flowing,
Meh
LMAO on the Michelin man writeup. That made my day!
@mehcuda67 “Seriously though Diet Pepsi tastes like what I imagine the chemicals that transformed the Joker would taste like” had me laughing hard enough for my cat to run in the room and make sure I wasn’t seizing.
@starbucks "I just wish you made decent coffee because after I get my cake pops I have to run to Dunkin every time and get a cup there."
It’s funny 'cause it’s true.
@themutilator Best one yet!
@themutilator @seancookpdx I busted out laughing - then started wondering if the Mehditor was reading my mind. Awesome.
Will you please combine all the emails into one post? OML. I am going to spend my entire day on here just to read these things…and to spend money I don’t have. “I swear to God if you turn up dirty I am gonna lose it.” OMDG. ::crying laughter::
Please! Let these actually be sent to the recipients. I really like imagining some of these folks being like “what in the world?!?” about these write-ups.
/giphy pretty please
Is there one place/page to read them all?
@scilynt I sure hope so!
I keep expecting to find these signed Lazlo Toth, American.
For anyone not familiar, check out The Lazlo Letters
(by Father Guido Sarducci himself!)
@rmeden when I was a young pup there was Bruce West and Outrageously Yours: Outrageously Yours https://www.amazon.com/dp/0399514104/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_vLCjAbDRH9AXX
Oh, the LOLs I had!
@rmeden My friends and I loved that book. Was it the Mr. Bubble letter where they sent him coupons for his mother? And the one to Ferdinand Marcos in Manila, Philippines where he told him how much he liked his envelopes?
It was also be pretty damn funny if they actually sent them and posted any responses received
These email messages were great…lol
The letters I saw were almost all very clever and funny. It would be nice if they were collected in one place when the day is done.
@andyw No promises, but they have collated other series of posts before.
@therealjrn Thanks.
From Wikipedia.
I have been avoiding this thread all day - but the write-ups keep getting better and better…
