Dear Dr. Pittelli, We recently received a very confusing directive from the "rules committee" instructing us that all Anvilus vehicles must be painted a specific shade of hot pink (633 nm wavelength) or they will be banned from future battles. We found a napkin from the Mohegan Sun Casino jammed between pages 87 and 88 of this missive. The napkin contained several hand-scrawled epithets deriding the courage of our Fearless Leader, Fred Simms. These insults called Fred no less than a "sissy" who should only be allowed to ride in pink vehicles and re-iterated a slanderous attack first aired in the OLD mailing list on 13 Feb 2005 indicating that Fred needed a "surgical procedure in the coming months to install an artificial spine". We believe that this directive is discriminatory and a thinly veiled plot by the Tri-Pact evil genius, Dr. von Huppel, who wishes to use HeNe laser targeting systems tuned to 633 nm and falsely claim the prestigious X-Prize.
