Yeah, yeah, more stupid open letters
Dear print media,Thank you for publishing so many articles about competitive eating. I now feel that I have a thorough grasp of the nature of the sport and what it says about American culture today. Thus, there is probably no need for you ever to publish articles about it in the future ever again.
I might be willing to compromise if you swore never to mention the part about soaking the hot dog buns in water to make them go down faster. That's just gross.
Yours sincerely,

Dear CTA,
Please consider running the #6 bus more often. Today, standing at the bus stop at Washington and State, I saw multiple buses go by for the other routes that stop there (including I think five Archer buses), and I eventually gave up on waiting when I saw the #10 Museum of Science and Industry bus, even though it makes its sole stop at 57th St. my destination was on 53rd St.
Thankfully, I was able to find a cheap copy of one of the 20th Century books during a Powell's trip that otherwise would not have happened, but you people really can't expect that kind of redemption to happen every time, can you?
Cheers,

Dear IBM,
If you could please stop putting the stupid "Fn" key where the left Ctrl key should be on your laptops, that would be awesome. I have to re-teach myself to cut and paste every time I use Lauren's computer.
Best,

Dear Discover Card,
Is there any way you could send me more of those convenience checks? I know I complained about them before, but it is kind of nice to get mail every day. Bank of America is pulling its weight in this regard -- what happened to you?
Thanks!
