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.
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.
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!
“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!
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.
