The Mondo Mugwump Letters: Battlefield Earth - A Saga of the Year 3000 - Page 6

Part of: The Mondo Mugwump Letters

I ran, dearest chum, I ran in the throes of a great perpendicular terror, and when I was done running out of fear I ran out of nostalgia for the times when I ran out of fear.

In some way I feel I’ve been running ever since, and if not running, at least thinking many thoughts about Battlefield Earth: A Saga Of The Year 3000.

I would say more with regards the motion picture at hand, but I feel you have covered the topic comprehensively, and what has not been said here has been said elsewhere a great many times and with great aplomb and with many a grammatical genuflection in the direction of Travolta and his forehead all a-tussle with intergalactic pseudo-religious metaphorical fangledang.

I must leave you now for to attend a lecture being held in the university three miles East, a talk concerning colonic irrigation in the Cro-Magnon era, a subject I find most stimulating with regards certain areas of my brain-splurge.

I do hope you are faring well, and I would ask that you send my regards to dearest Gwendolyn, and tell her I hope very much for to see her marvellous scrotum pulsing afore my face sometimes soon.

Your friend,

Duke De Mondo

    Great job again fellas. I have been fascinated with Fort Knox since that episode of Gilligans Island. Now that I live not far from that blessed bastion of gold I so desire to visit, but my wife can't understand my glittering longing and won't allow it.

    Perhaps in the end I am but a Psychlos looking for John Travolta.

    Thanks Mat. If you feel the temptation too strong and decide that it would be a good idea to attempt a raid on the old Fort, then I'd recommend hiring Barry Pepper for the job. I'm sure he's more than affordable these days.
