I Got Mail Today
R. Alex Whitlock
Here is the back of the envelope:
Just so you know, other than the fact that they put this on the envelope, that's the
normal part. The rest:
The prayer rug which they speak of is actually a 10.5x16" folded piece of paper with Jesus's crying face and the following message:
Look into Jesus's Eyes and you will see they are closed. But as you continue to look you will see His eyes opening and looking back into your eyes. Then go and be alone and kneel on this Rug of Faith or touch it to both knees. Then plese check your needs on our letter to you. Please return this Prayer Rug. Do not keep it."
Also attached was a flyer with testamonials:

I say you should send it on to Kottke and call it your donation to his cause! :)
Wow. It's a cross between one of those Nigerian emails and a chain letter.
My favorite line: "Leave It There No Longer Than Tonight Only! God sees."
Comedic gold.
Zito,
Uh oh, I left it in my trashcan... it's going to be there a few days. Guess I'm doomed.
Kev,
Unfortunately, it appears I have tarnished it by leaving it in my place over more than one night. I guess Kottke will have to get his own Rug of Faith...
That's... just... yeah.
hmmm ... how much time did it take how many people to put that together? I wonder how it went? What thoughts got left out? How'd they decide what to underline and bold? or just bold? or just underline? just wondering....

Comment spam is an ongoing problems that we're trying to address. Previously we required people to create accounts and log in. I am thankful to say that is no longer the case. We're giving Captcha another try and are playing around with a text-based Q&A variant of Captcha. So bear with us as we try to figure out how to best get a handle ont he problem. Please note that any comment on a post more than 30 days old will go into the moderation queue, where I will get to it when I can which could be once a week.
