Dear Mark,

You might post this as "humor", but you and I know that this is very
serious stuff! I consider your posting as a desperate cry for help. I
took the liberty of dusting off my tarot-deck, and take a peek in your
future. There is good news and there is bad news.

The good news: You can not avoid your fate, so there is no need to
worry.

The bad news: You WILL become a new monster, if not in real, then at
least in the minds of the Texas-dwellers. Blurred pictures of you will
be posted all over the internet. After your night trips, cows will stop
laying eggs, computers will fail, girls who swear they are virgins will
get pregnant and graincircles will appear wherever you cartop your
kayak. Buffy the Vampire Slayer will go after you. You might lure her
into a short love-affair (she is known for falling in love with
vampires) and although Buffy is just as beautiful as your previous
flirt, Britney Spears, she is also known for beating up her lovers.
At the high point of this affair, a mob of jealous vampires will take
your soul. Buffy will loose interest after one last good beating. You
will move to the Himalayas, take up white-water rafting and end up as a
white-water guide for Italian tourists.

Matt Broze will write a new edition of "Deep Trouble", with a complete
chapter on your misfortune. In the "lessons learned" section he will
state that shaving, every other week or so, might have prevented this
disaster.

Please do me one favor: After Buffy looses interest in you, give her my
phonenumber. I will stop shaving right now, so I'll be ready to meet
her.

Niels.
