I'm not the lady with the funky pink nightie, and we didn't connect at
Burning Man, but you tickled me to death with your wacky BM pictorial
and papal entreaties!
I live in Tempe too and I ALSO was biking on the playa! This is

Subject: I had a dream last night
I was at Cardhouse headquarters. It was very impressive -- a mansion on a big
expanse of land (in Michigan), with a two story carriage house next to it.
It was filled with beautiful young people laughing and partying. I was
expected. I kept asking for Mark Simple. He kept being just a step or two ahead
of me. I looked for him in the office in the mansion, which looked like a
sales space in a comic book store. He'd just left. I got a glimpse of him;
he was lanky and had short, kind of curly dark hair. So I was led to the
carriage house, where one of his minions began pelting me with legal
questions concerning a problem with the landlord. Some guy named Lee. (Lee
was the landlord, not the minion. The minion was short and stocky and
balding. Danny DeVito without a sense of humor.) Don't remember what the
problems were, just that it was annoying to be pestered with them. Then it
was announced that Deuce was also there. He and a travelling companion,
the lithe and lovely (not to mention blonde) Trish? Tricia? were crashing
in a back room in the carriage house. Her hair was as long as his had been.
His was cut blunt, earlength, in a kind of postmodern Prince Valiant. He
looked very different with bangs. He also looked about 10 years younger.
What the hell was this about?
it was about the weirdest dream you ever had . . . because it's TRUE! all TRUE!

Damn, man!
What do you do all day outside of Whip It and the webpages (and taking
weird pictures of Wagner?)
um . . . i read e-mail
Here's an idea. For your NEXT car, do a tribute to Wagner.
in fact, that's the plan, as soon as the (unfortunately temporary) Whip It! motif disintegrates from the surface of the Biscayne
And do it on...a Jeep Wagoneer (with an "o" and "e" tastefully deleted)! (if you can find one-if not, send me your mailing address and I'll pull a badge off one in a junkyard for you)

I took a moment (actually a whole fat stack of 'em) and read most of
your webpages. This is one incredibly massive site, worthy of high
praise.
Hold your head high, man.
You are the ringleader for a world of time-wasters and idlers.
The nice thing about that is automatically you are superior.
is english your first language? and what do you mean, waste?
And tomorrow afternoon I will check the resale shop for more Herb Alpert
albums. Damn! I don't even have a turntable!
you know those resale shops that sell record albums, tim? guess what else they sell?
For your interest, I am including a picture of my daily driver (read
non-art-car) car. It's already weird enough-a 1977 AMC Pacer!

Dear Mr. Deuce:
I am writing to inquire whether you are the Deuce who writes
letters to the New York Press, specifically, a recent letter about
Mugger's call for Gingrich to step down. We are trying to make more of
an effort to establish the bona fides of letter-writers.
Please reply soon, our deadline is Monday.

Subject: AHA! Found your page.... Reprint?
Hello...
I'm the editor of Eschaton's "The Terminal Journal" quarterly
literary magazine. We recently had some materials sent to us by V2 of
Spread The Word, which included a reprint of an article from "Planet"
magazine, which I had been told (by V2) was entitled "Flying Us Crazy"
(but I see you have listed here as "Spacecraft or Lovecraft?"). I searched on the web for a
"Deuce" and came up with this (among other) e-mail address. You
probably have gotten my earlier missives to one of the various e-mail
addresses I found for you, but I have since discovered your web page,
and am much less confused than I had been.
If you are the Deuce who wrote this piece, I would like very
much to get your permission to reprint "Spacecraft of Lovecraft" in our Summer '97 issue.
Thank you,
Brendan Tripp
Hey. I enjoyed your review of Choco Tacos a great deal. I anted to mention that Taco Bells around here sell them, too.
Also -- I read the 666 Cough Medicine thing in X magazine a few
years ago and it was pretty damned funny. I remember
reading it out loud to any friend that would listen (not
many). When they do radio ads, though, they call it
"Three Sixes Cold Preparation," not "Six-Six-Six." I
always thought that was a little funny.

Subject: RE: Wagner, Whip It, and those dammed Jehovah's Witness freaks!
Hello.
Firstly, let me congratulate you on a perfectly mind-boggling assembly
of pages just dripping with Wagnerism. It's the oddest thing I've seen
today. Where could I get myself a similar bust of Wagner? I'd take
pictures and send them to you. The immortality of Wagner must spread
globally, and this is more convenient with two heads.
i don't know about wagner's immortality. his immorality, on the other hand, is well known. as to locating another wagner bust, i'm afraid it's hit-or-miss. there is a fake wagner bust. but he is evil.
And, good job on the ArtCar. I'm planning one of my own. Starting on the basis of a 1983 Subaru with orange and teal zebra stripes, I will
either accentuate it with old aircraft parts and create an Urban
Survival Vehicle or completely cover it with old shoes (naming it the
"Shoe-baru".
Also, I was wondering if I could have one of the (unmolested) Whipped
Cream and Other Delights albums from you to hang on my wall just for the
insanity of it all? (i'll pay for postage)
a) i don't have any "unmolested" whipped cream albums. not that i molest them, mind you. it's just that i spent the day soaking my remaining albums in the bathtub. that sounds kind of perverted. i assure you it's nothing kinky. i have to remove the cardboard before i can affix them to the Whip It! car, which has developed some bare spots that need to be covered by whipped cream albums before next week's trek to westfest in sf.
b) you can do this, i know you can:
- travel to your nearest thrift store.
- walk into the thrift store.
- make tracks to the corner where they have the unsorted bins of beat-up LPs.
- flip through until you see the telltale alpert green.
- verify: is it anatomical?
- verify: is it anatomically covered in a white substance that resembles whipped cream?
- if yes, buy it!
- if no, go back to step 4. if there are no more albums, go back to step 1. good luck! you'll find twenty before the day's over.
And in regards to that letter sent you by the Jehova's Witness nutcase.
I did a little research on this for you. I was particularly amused by the part of that letter "adhere strictly
to the bible" Hah! What a crock! The JW's don't believe in the Trinity, Hell, or the Crucifixion! (there
isn't a single cross in any JW church!) They don't even believe that
Christ is God! John 10:30 "I and the Father are one." Rather, they
think he's Michael the Archangel!!! Ludicrous! Adhering to the bible
strictly?? I'm serious, these people are bad news. You know they have rules against BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS? I read this news article. Apparently, this JW family, the Blizards, had a baby daughter
in the hospital and the only way to save her life was with a blood
transfusion. In opposition to family wishes, the JW's tried to steal
the baby from the hospital! When the family protested, the JW's told
them that they hoped the child died even with the transfusion and cut
off all contact from them-even their old friends. Is this Biblical? Is
this even close to Christian? I think not! In fact, it is impossible
to leave the JW church cleanly. You cannot come back, and you cannot
have any interaction with family members who decide to stay JW. These
are scary folk. And hypocritical. Adhere to the bible my left
buttcheek. Loonies.

I have just enjoyed surfing the _x_mag web page (I especially like the
coverage of the "little people), hoping I could find the piece on 666 that I
cannot find anywhere in my all-too-small office with its all-too-high piles
of stuff. I finally am getting back to my "work" on 666 Elixer, but I cannot
find the item from _x_mag. I hate to ask you, but could you send me another copy
of it, assuming you already sent it to me and I have misplaced it.
Thanks.

April fades into May, and I'm still curious (more than ever) about what you
guys said about the piece on 666. I've been reading old ads from the 1920s, when it was
sold for everything from colds to malaria and yes coonstipation. Turns out
they were tied into a big-time PR effort that preyed (prayed!) on illiterate
and poor fundamentalists.
Hope you're still there and that my address is still attached to this message
so you can send me a copy of your article on 666 or at least reply with an
e-mail.
Much Thanks

picture of this Diane person with selling Cherry Clan- man, I want some
Cherry Clan!- I can't find the good Ferrara Pan stuff around here-
Alexander the Grapes, Cherry Clan, Johnny Apple Treats- I'm an addict I
think- I'm waiting for some big corparation to market carnuba wax
patches or something so I can lose the habit-
anyway- I envy Diane and her many boxes of Cherry Clan- If she wants
to make the biggest sale of her career tell her to come to York hall at
the University of Maine and ask for Dolemite

sorry dolemite! all my cherry clan were illegally seized by the florida highway patrol.

Sometimes...okay, a lot of times...I like to scream gibberish at the top

noise, which is the only thing that keeps me from getting evicted or
arrested.
I've only just begun to dig into your web files and I like what I see.
Liked the Harry Dean Stanton thing especially. I just watched Wise Blood
again last night, which as you know features Stanton and Mr. Brad
Dourif. If I ever was forced to compile a pantheon of film
actors/personalities I'd put Harry Dean and Dourif in the same outfit
with Lee Marvin, they're THAT good.
