NINE WEIRD EMAILS I RECEIVED REGARDING "TYPHOID MARY"
For a long time I've entertained the idea of doing a movie about the infamous "Typhoid" MaryMallon. Lucky me, when I looked for the domain name typhoidmary.com, I found it unregistered. So Isnagged it. Thus began several years of my having to put up with a sometimes friendly, sometimesangry public, particularly students writing term papers on Mallon who wanted me to do all theirresearch for them and, more amusingly, those in rock bands called "Typhoid Mary" or fans of same.I eventually let the domain name expire, but below are nine of the funnier letters I received,reprinted verbatim.
- SUBJECT: hello imposter I have friends in film, in 3danimation and most of all in the the record industry, and I will pass on the fact that anyoneassociated with the "Typhoid Mary Film project" are imposters pretending to be part of the TyphoidMary band and are amatures at best. Pull that foot out of your mouth wanna-be. -Xar
- SUBJECT: [none] hey it just me ian if you can get a holdof me befor the show ....that good ....but we need and small bio of the band ...and two cd ...butif you don't get a hole of me i'll see you there at the reverb tomorrow at 8:00 or 8:30
- SUBJECT: about picture i want to know were to get picture
- SUBJECT: Tphoid Mary how did she kill all those people
- SUBJECT: [none] hey man, why do you have to keep a domainname if you aint gonna make the god damn movie. thats retarded and gay. if you think that ourband or any band will buy it from you when we get signed you are crazy. so if that is the onlyreason you are holding it is to wait for a band with that name to get big then you are outta yourmind and should write a book called SHARKY DUMBASS the sequal to your other film.
- SUBJECT: Kev's Little Bro If you are not the typhoid Maryof Denver you are imposters of my boys from denver and you should find another name.
