Hi Ellis, I found a batch of letters stuffed into my mailbox which I am duly forwarding to you...I don't know who this character is. Frankly, the whole thing seems kind of fishy. If you could run one of these from time to time in your letters column, though, it might get this guy off my back. Steve
To the Editer: Sir: I have had the pleaser of viewing you're site lots of numerous times now, and allow me to say it fills me with aw and admiration! However, though, I am puzzled by some questions which leave me scratching my head in wonderment. First, what is a 'marquee'? Often when I am beating up a fellow he will squeel out 'the Marquee of Queensberry rules!' So therefore, this leads me to believe that a Marquee was a duke or a king or something. Is it? Also is Bisbee a thing or a place or what? Also, secondly, I notice you always sign you're name 'Ed.' Is Ellis Chinese for Ed? Because I once used to know a guy named Ed and we always called him 'Ed', never Ellis. Well I guess that's all for now. And keep up the grate work! --Mr. Gus
To the Editer: Sir: I have read with considerable avid interest about you're town's recent troubles concerning Father Woodstock. I just want to say, don't feel bad, Bisbee, you're not the only community with troubles. In our neck of the wood's Father O'Donovan got kicked clear out of the diocese for being a Sexual Scandal, although he never did anything weird with a bicycle horn that I know of. So keep your chins up Bisbee, we got sorrow too! Mr. Gus
Dear Mr. Editer: Renewed greetings from you're friend Gus again! I read you're last previous issue with avid (means 'intensly interested) pleaser, and I can't tell you how much it thrilled me thru & thru to see my letter make it's appearance in you're hallowed letters colume. This marks the first time I have seen my name in print since the newspapers wrote about my arrest in what I assure you were trumpteted-up charges. Thus is the press truly mightier than the sword. Let me take this opportunity to lavage kudos on you're issue! The Art Works were very interesting. Also the articles, too, were interesting as well. Furthermore the columes were very, very interesting and had me in stiches until I cried. Good work one and all and I await you're next issue with avid breath. yr. Friend, Mr. Gus
To the Editer: Sir: Best issue yet! I don't paint the lily when I say it literally knocked the socks virtually off me. Great stuff all around. Say, that reminds me of a thought that just ocured to me: maybe you could use an extra hand around the Marquee offices. In all modesty I work cheap but good and am willing to relocate or move. I am what is termed a Jack of All Trades and can do it all: sweep floors, fix cars, or be a Computer Whiz! Just try me. Also, between you and me, if you need any 'special' work done I can help (Golden Gloves Welterweight '92, Western Div..) Wink wink, but keep that last part under your strict hat. Honestly, though, I just had another idea: I could write a colume for you're site! No kidding, I could bring the point of perspective of the Working Stiff, after all it is him that built the the Backbone of America, and the Working Gal too, our Comrade in Arms in Work. I have many insites into the work-a-day world. But who am I kidding. I know you have a whole stable of good writers with no end of intelligent smarts upstairs. I prostate myself before there vocablularies, becoming nothing more than a 'green-eyed monster' (Shakespeare) out of envy, and knowing too that 'life is but a dream' in comparison. Anyway, it's rare to see such good work as usual, and keep it coming! Mr. Gus
To the Editor: Of late my husband Gus has been spending all his time pouring over your Web Site. I think this is not healthy and I want it to stop this instant, he needs to get back to work. Shame on you. Mrs. Gus
