Dear Mr Gibson

Hi - long-time reader first-time stalker

Please find attached my screenplay "The Cyber-Digital Man-Borg". Please read it (there's an accompanying digest on the Omnineurobiomorphology which is important to the plot - this is a new science discovered by myself and other members of my teknogothick commune) and have handwritten notes ready for my visit some time this week. (Not sure when - we're still trying to hack your meat address.) I'll be there some time in the late evening - you'll know its me by my ornate necklace of ears.

Yours in Futurism

of course i would. but just a very quick g'day you bloody legend or something.

if he were to email back, now that's where the trouble would start!

(why'd my name go orange?)
(and why are all of you so restrained?)
(too worried he'd peg you as mouthbreathers?)

this just occured to me:

quite a few years ago i was researching Noam Chomsky on the internet during a brief period when i had access to this, then, new and amazing technology. i happened upon a mailing address, and decided to write him a letter proper.
it was during a time when i was in quite a crisis over my perception of the world, its evils, and my overwhelming feelings of hopelessness concerning it all. i'd been moved greatly by a viewing of Manufacturing Consent. at the time the man seemed to me the most reasonable voice i had ever heard.
the letter consisted, basically, of a heartfelt pouring out of my guts.
to my surprise, a few months later i recieved his reply. it was a short, but displayed character, class, and an understanding in so little amount of words as you would expect. he empathised with me and my age, complimented me on a relatively rich, if troubled, understanding of deeper issues, and basically told me to hang in there, your answers and path will emerge in time. the fact he even answered me, a 19 year old kid in Abbotsford, still blows me away.

Dear Mr. Gibson,

I have long been a fan of your work. I find both your fiction and non-fiction works fascinating, and have been a fan for many years.

Unfortunately, current circumstances have prevented me from enjoying writings any further, as I am currently fleeing my home country of Nigeria, in Africa, currently in civil turmoil.

I am a wealthy businessman, and humbly request your assistance in removing my wealth from this troubled country and safely transferring overseas.

I kindly ask you to provide me with your bank account details and credit card numbers, so that I may transfer my $45 million US dollars into your account. As a token of my gratitude, I will leave you forty percent of my wealth as a means of thanks.

Please send the numbers without delay, and keep writing the cyberpunk.

Yours sincerely,

Crown Prince Otonga.

Oh fuck, that was genius, Otonga.

I have Paris Hilton's email. Does that count?

Nice lithos. That genuinely made me laugh.

edit: heh. cause, you know, i use a feigned laugh when i read all your other posts.

Mr. Lithos has won the thread. I decree it.

Impale the others.

Seconded.
