Just wanted to say it’s been fun and interesting being part of the Doper community. But, as you can see from that letter, my hometown and I will soon be destroyed. Adios.

It’s not too late for you to mail me all of your stuff.

Apparently, it’s already too late… The letter has been destroyed with him!

God once sent a letter to my father saying something to the effect that He threw all the demons into a hole in space and my father would be able to see it because he had a telescope. God’s name was Nunziati.

“Sorry, that page was not found.”

:confused::confused::confused:

Wow, he wasn’t kidding.

Sorry, not sure why the link isn’t working.

The letter was a letter to the editor of the Troy (Ohio) Daily News from some crotchety old fart. The subject was the upcoming Gentlemen of the Road Tour (the Mumford & Sons folk festival) which is a HUGE deal for our town of 25,000. Typically, Grandpa Grumpy was not amused and compared the festival to the Nazi invasion of France. He also said the city fathers sold us to the Roman Centurions for thirty pieces of silver and that Troy would be destroyed. Hilarious!

There you go. I’m an idiot. Had to change the visibility setttings.

All that for Mumford and sons? They seem pretty harmless to me.

They say f@&k in a song. And you say harmless?!?

They have banjos and wear hipster hats. They are a menace! Troy is doomed, I say, doomed!

“Crotchety” doesn’t even begin to cover it. What would really be cool is if the tour would stop by this dude’s house on the way out of town, present him with a signed poster, and thank him for his civic concern. That would explode his little head!

After hearing Mumford & Sons all summer, I agree with the letter writer.

The start is nigh.

I thought Nunziati was a city councillor in Toronto.

This would explain a few things.

The end is Nye.

I hear Troy has had problems in the past with getting destroyed after bringing seemingly harmless things into town, though. I’ll bet everyone laughed at Cassandra’s letters to the editor too.

Because when I think lawless destruction and anarchy, I think Mumford & Sons.

Ah yes, the Atreus and Sons tour. Their bassist had serious anger issues, IIRC.

Eh, he had an Achilles heel, though.

Paging Bruce Campbell! :smiley:
