Letters From The Readers

This week, someone sympathizes with my plight, people approve of the webpage, and other cool things. Read and be amazed!

I run Windows BS.

I just got done reading the 3/5 letters, and I am curious what your computer does to relieve the indigestion after eating so many letters like "bullshit". My neighbor's pit bull eats crabgrass to take care of the problem after eating too much horse shit. Hope this helps! - Pete

Josh: I drink while I update the letters, and every so often I pour a little in the microphone port. Thanks for writing!

Nude Britons.

I would like to apologise on behalf of the british chappie who wrote in last week. I'm sure some of us are quite capable of stringing sentences that you due-process freaks out there can understand, and indeed some are capable of simple coherence. I'm equally certain that others among us are entirely naked, without a care in the world. A language which puritans have sadly yet to grasp. Heu pietas, heu prisca fides, etc. etc. - Mr. Stillgestandar og Yfirvegunnar

Josh: The idea of someone completely naked speaking with impeccable sentence structures excites me as an English major. Britain, here I come!

A webpage of history, and also mock quizzes.

Wow, I wasn't expecting that when I got onto this site. I was actually google-ing to try and find an American History book that I need and I found this site, it's pretty hilarious! I'll be coming by here more often, you can bet that! - Kayla

Josh: Glad you're here and not studying! Semi-well-known EV trivia: our name is actually directly taken from that textbook, which myself and co-creator Dan Young owned in 11th grade AP History. The very first version of the site even featured a logo that was scanned from the book's front page. Ah, copyright infringement.

Awesome!

It is nice. Byeeee. - Lucky

Josh: I am taking this as tacit unconditional approval of the site, so thanks!

It's like the worst poetry ever.

[RE: "Abstinence, Birth Control Given Up For Lent" - Ed.] About ash wednesday and Lent,
I believe that Jesus was a cool person, very wise
and full of love for humanity. I don't have the faith that others do insofar as he was the son of God.
So you might say that I'm not really a true Christian.
Now that you have some idea of what my religion
is or is not you can hopefully listen to my reply to your article without undue bias. I think comments /stories like yours are an insult to the human spirit.
They basically tell me that you have shit for brains.
Please allow me to elaborate... Most of us less than totally arrogant assholes need something to sustain our sanity,ie religion, love, recognition of something greater than ourselves, something more important than ourselves. Most of us don't think have we have the answers except for idiots like you. But your in good company....The Pope, President Bush, Hitler etc, all
very self righteous dudes. You might say I'm a self righteous dude.....BUT I don't presume that I am worthy to mock another humans faith...(or lack of it)OPP's, AM I MOCKING YOURS??? - JIM

Josh: OPP'S! That's all I'll really remember from your letter, which, considering its content, I'd say is a good thing for you.

The greatest.

hello, i have got a problem. when i was in the bathroom, i wanted to shave my moushtache and then i reach to under my nose and i accidently shave the part thats close to me lip! and now it is bleeding a little. please help me. - Jamie

Josh: Hahahah!

Congratulations, dude!

This letter is either a brilliant skewering of the average EV letter-writer, or an honest cry for help. Either way it's completely fantastic.

A good Clint Award runner-up.

saw a couple pictures I couldn't resist sending you!

Pic 2

They are pretty good. - Wendy

Josh: Awesome, Wendy! Thanks for keeping an eye out for us, and you sure saved me the agony of trawling through every picture from the past week on Reuters and Yahoo (yes, that's how I find the Pic of the Week, and yes, it's painstaking and tedious, but I love you all so I do it anyway).

Nice idea...

[re: The Original Doritos Saga]
i don't know which of the three were first, but the trinity is pictured here:

corn, nacho, taco... - [name eaten by our letter form]

Josh: Thanks for the letter, man, and I appreciate the fact that you did the little "RE" deal at the beginning, but the saga has been more or less solved by our lovely readers (for the record, I believe it was plain corn). But your letter will serve another purpose: to remind me to update the damn Doritos pages so that future helpful people like yourself will know that the saga has concluded. Thank you!
