Letters From The Readers

A bunch of damn nonsense this week, for the most part. Good letter writers, where are you? THIS CITY NEEDS YOU

THE CARDINALS DID IT

The Cardinals are responsible. Bernard Law is a good example. And the former Cardinal Pope Rat I is surly at the botton of the angel losses that is more impressive than Genesis. - John Stone

Josh: I hate those red bastards.

Maybe love. Hard to tell.

Raspberries......phlehhhhhhhphlehhhhhhhphlehhhhh - tiffany

Josh: Having now received my first e-raspberry, I can shut down The EV, for its true purpose has been fufilled.

The perils of loving paint too much.

Because I enjoy huffing golden paint my friends and relatives have quit talking to me. I get my kicks like any good Merican and have every right to. These people are no longer friends or relatives. They are assholes. Keep'er gweely. - darrn

Josh: Tell them not to judge you, and that just because you often hallucinate them to be giant insects doesn't mean you don't love them anymore.

Good questions.

Glad to have the EV back again. The hiatus got me worried and thinking though, as they usually do. If... for whatever reason the EV would one day cease to be (sad to think of yes), I can't imagine how terrible it would be for such a wonderful collection of literature to be lost. Have you ever considered putting the EV into print as a collection? Or maybe if there's too much for one book, splitting it into volumes (by year or something).

I can't speak for others out there, but I know I'd definately buy an EV book. I was going to write this as an email to Josh, but I'm sure other readers might have thought the same thing at one time or another.

So how about it? EV book? I demand printage. - Vince

Josh: I'm glad we'd have your support if a book were to surface, Vince. I have actually considered a book or series of books, especially since it's easier now than ever before to get something published for very little effort and cost. Still, it's something we'd have to gauge the interest in before going forward with it; I don't think we're quite popular enough yet for such an endeavor, but maybe someday. More encouraging news: I've been entertaining the idea (for quite some time now, actually) of putting the complete EV and some bonus materials on a CD for posterity and making it available to anyone who wants one. That'd really be something for a special occasion or anniversary, though...

Insanity and understanding satire.

Ref. Christian Group Protests Angels Baseball Team Losing:
This story erases any doubt that this brand of religion is definitely a form of insanity.
And remember please, that these are the kind of people who are running our country. - Jerry Brown

Josh: I'm sure there are plenty of silly true stories about religious people, Jerry, but this isn't one of them. Your letter has become a silly story about someone non-religious, though.

A confusing letter.

You don't want to know what the term "the longest yard" means in prison. To give you a clue, imagine 6 inmates lined up outside your cell, averaging a 6 inch memeber each....you get the picture. - Inmate 056590013

Josh: Oh I get the picture, all right...but why would so many six-inch tall inmates frighten you?

A DAEMON!

I really think this "mother" has a very disturbed mind to think of such inappropriate things about a child's movie. All she's doing is distorting a person's mind even further. I believe that you just make things worse by doing these things. May people are ignorant to things until they are told them. Such as seeing sick images in a perfectly normal sight. Those are created by the showing or notification of certain things. I really believe you are mistaking affection for another person as just friends as being a whore. I really believe maybe you don't have any compassion for someone if you think that. I believe that your idea of little kids "raping" eachother or whatever is just going overboard. That was completely uncalled for and wrong. Things like that would not happen unless you were older or maybe "notified" of these things. Knowledge is dangerous, I believe you just injured the minds of thousands who probably read this. You also must realize... Ozzy is actually ! a christian last time I checked. He was once threatened by Satan followers, and last time I checked he carried a cross on his neck and was quite a devout christian... Maybe not the best role model, but none of us are perfect. Signed, - Daniel Lee A Christian at that

Josh:

And you will worship Ozzy Osbourne there soon enough

ANOTHER ONE!

I'm 17 years old and im sure you'll say something like im not old anough to understand much of this stuff but i read your review of harry potter....and i think even for a church lover u took it ovef board so ud break a kids heart just to stop them from watchin this. i for one am amazed that you sit here and think of these things while watchin this movie i under stand that hermani and ron do take it a lil to far but its not like she went and made out with him for 20 mins every 5 mins and the popping pills thing u mentioned those were magical animal crackers less u convince me other wise im a firm believe that i believe what i want ill be fine and religion itself is a crock of garbage. - kyle hale

Josh:

And you will eat Satanic animal crackers there soon enough
