Wow!I just got what is so far the most interesting email from our Mr. Goudas site. It's on the mail page, but I think it deserves a spot of its own, at least just for now. :) - Andrew From: "kimm khagram" To: akilpatrick@home.com Subject: mr goudas Date: Sun, 10 Dec 2000 19:55:36 -0000 hello.. my name is kimm and i go to university of guelph.. i was delighted to see that you have a mr. goudas website.. you see,we have taken mr. goudas to the next level in the house where i live. In an age where consuming is considered sacred, and in a house where we can't afford fresh food, it is only natural that mr. goudas worship should become the religion of choice. It all started in september, when we went to the grocery store and laid eyes upon a stack of peach cans, 100 fluid ounces, for only $5. "I've gotta have those peaches," i said, and soonafter introduced him to my roommates and his new home. Before long, we were treating him as our 5th roommate.. then we realized his intellectual and moral superiority, and couldn't treet him as equal any longer. He now sits on a raised platform covered with a shroud, with incense and candles around him to facilitate worship. He wears a mullet wig, and a pope hat. In the beginning, we decided to have peach lent.. 40 days and 40 nights of peach celibacy. In the meantime, we introduced him to all our friends, took him out to the bars, bought him drinks and cigarettes, and so on. Everyone loves mr. g, mostly because he is so agreeable. We snapped a whole roll of film on him so that we would have something to remember him by.. mr. goudas studying, taking a bath, cooking, hanging out on the couch with us, at the bars, et cetera (hopefully they'll be on the net within the next few months). Eventually we acquired a smaller can of peaches, who became "Ambassador Goudas", making it easier to share the goudas spirit with those we know and love. We somehow got through peach lent, and were supposed to eat mr. goudas on november 20, but something strange happened.. an elephant seal came down from the heavens and told us that mr. g should stay "sealed" until exams are over.. But seeing as mr. goudas' greatness stems from his being a delicious product (remember, "Mr. Goudas on the label means good food on the table"), he must be martyred to reach his final destiny of being consumed. So this friday (december 15th) we are having a party celebrating the life and death of mr. goudas, culminating with the ritualistic opening and eating of his contents. I think that everyone should take a little bit of time on friday to thank mr. goudas for all that he has done for us, and consider where we would be without such high quality products. Kimm Khagram |
