Dear Dave...

I hope I haven't hyped Death Ray too much.  Listen to a few, let it marinate, then report back to me.  I don't understand why the hat photo didn't work.  It worked for the first few hours I had the post up.  Maybe Ed Hardy caught wind that I was goofing on his company and he had the photo pulled.  Ed Hardy probably has a lot of pull.  It seems like a lot of dudes really admire his style.  That reminds me, I've been meaning to ask you something.  Do people ever stop you and ask, "Sir, you have an uncanny resemblance to my great grandfather.  My family has his Ellis Island photos, fresh off the boat from Italy, and he's wearing the exact same hat that you are wearing.  Is there any chance I could take a photo with you?  Sadly, my great grandfather was killed during the first World War and my family has no photos of him with any family members.  My grandmother is still alive and I'm sure she would be thrilled to have a picture of you and I together."  I suspect this happens to you every time you go to Target?

Love,

paulsen
