Volume 12

Dear commune:

I appreciate your views and your attention to the various sources of news out there. the
commune is one of the finest Internet publications I've ever read, and that's not saying
much. But I'm afraid I write to you with matters other than praise in mind.

I have recently been treed by a large Kodiak bear. In fact, it was less than thirty minutes
ago. I'm afraid I am stumped for what to do. The branches are weakening and the bear has attempted repeatedly to either jump up and grab me or push the tree over with his brute strength and I'm afraid he'll yet succeed.

Please do not ask how I am able to communicate via the mail from my current whereabouts and situation. Also, please do not suggest I throw food to him to distract him. If I had food with me I surely wouldn't be writing to the commune without trying that first. Thank you and step on the response, please.

Dear Donald:

Okay, so… how'd you get the letter mailed once again? Yeah, I know you said don't,
but… what's the deal? It boggles our minds.

Dear commune:

I really, really like camp here. I was wrong. I said I didn't want to come and I didn't but
I'm glad I came because it is a lot of fun here.

The counselors say nice things to me and we have to work real hard all day and exercise
and they never give us real food and a lot of the kids turn up missing once in a while but
they usually show up sooner or later when they're caught and brought back. Best of all, no one calls me fat here and nobody calls none of the kids here. Besides the guy who brings the food in on the truck he always says, "Another drop off for the fat kids camp." But all the camp counselors say husky and even the kids don't call me fat because they're all fat.

Some are fatter than me. I mean husky.

I want to come home.

Dear Christopher:

Maybe he had a dog or something that ran the letter down from the tree. But how would a
dog climb a tree? And if he had the dog, maybe the bear would've tried to eat it or at least
chased it and he could've gotten down from the tree anyway. And couldn't the dog have
just carried a note to someone who could get a park ranger or something? Instead of
addressing, stamping, and mailing a letter. Puzzling.

Dear commune:

Here are hot XXX pictures of my girlfriend. She's a fine-ass whore. She loves to suck it
from a bucket.

I think you can throw away all the other entries right now. Ain't nobody a hot-ass honey
more than my girl. She does it all. All anal, all oral, all over the place. She may be entering
your "Hottest Amateur" contest but she does it all like a pro. Ain't nobody getting' no
better. And she's mine, all mine, fellas. You can look but you better not touch.

Okay, you got me. She's not my girlfriend. But she is my sister. Do I still get the prize
money?

Dear Ronnie:

It's possible maybe, just maybe, he suspected he might be treed by a Kodiak bear without
food for distracting it, and prepared a letter to mail to us in case he didn't come back within a certain amount of time. But that seems highly unlikely. Such a detailed letter and he didn't say he was mailing it in advance? Did a psychic maybe tell him it was possible a Kodiak bear was going to catch him up a tree and he should turn to us for help? But if he had any inclination surely he would've taken a cell phone or something at least, or bear food or some tranquilizers. Or at least a friend to go and get the ranger. What the hell's the deal?

Dear commune: I have a bone to pick with you, commune. It's about time someone stood up and stated the obvious: the commune's mascot, Poopey Chalupa, is a shameful and offensive stereotype that cheapens, exploits and degrades the fine heritage of... (11/12/01)
