			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello, people of the  ’internet!&#8217; We are completely blown away here; had no idea how many  ’e-mails&#8217; were in our  ’inbox.&#8217; 928,391. That is just crazy! Our Commissioner of Contemporary Culture informed us that someone had created a  ’hotmail account&#8217; for us in 1999. That&#8217;s ages ago! That&#8217;s when we were still churning our own butter by hand (now we use a horse shoe).</p>
<p>Hey listen, sorry about not getting back to you. It just took us three weeks to type this so far. Our  ’secretary,&#8217; who is busy with eight children, can only  ’type&#8217; in the murky diminishing rays of dusk&#8217;s light before it gets pitch black. Like right now, as she&#8217;s transcribing this, she has her face so close to the  ’keyboard&#8217; that her     nose   ke eps tou chin g the spa ce     bar. Really anno ying!</p>
<p>So anyways, we are completely awe of  ’h t t p colon forward-slash forward-slash double-u double-u double-u youtube dot com,&#8217; or  ’youtube.&#8217;  ’We tube&#8217; it all day. You&#8217;d be surprised at how much the searches for &#8220;buggies caught on tape,&#8221; &#8220;separation from the world,&#8221; and &#8220;second-cousin makeover&#8221; yield. And Metallica. They  ’rock!&#8217;</p>
<p>So far, we have checked five messages in our  ’inbox,&#8217; and responded to one. A Harvey Chester of Los Angeles wrote: &#8220;get a clue asswipes.&#8221; He didn&#8217;t capitalize the first letter of the sentence! Harvey (we just figured this out too), you have to press the  ’shift key&#8217; in order to  ’type&#8217; a capital letter. But try to use the  ’caps lock&#8217; button sparingly; it <em>freaks out the horse</em>. Really. I mean, REALLY.</p>
<p>Okay, I&#8217;m back from the  ’hospital.&#8217; We had to put the horse down. It&#8217;s been two years since we started this  ’e-mail.&#8217; Now our  ’inbox&#8217; is 1,282,053. The internet is on fire! Electric!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s winter again. Since  ’typing&#8217; this (with the whisk generators and all), our crops have been completely neglected. But the lemon meringue pies are out of this world, and by world we mean  ’2009.&#8217; Thank you for your patience. That is all.</p>
<p><em>Ride the lightning!!!</em></p>
<p>Where&#8217;s the  ’send&#8217; button? Oh there&#8230;no, no don&#8217;t  ’type&#8217; this. I&#8217;m just talking to you now, not the non-repenters. Hit  ’backspace,&#8217; come on. Hit it. Ok, whatever.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>Jimmy is the author of his undoing. His humorous pieces have been inside two women.</p>
