Originally appeared in APeX Attack #5 (November 1999) In the cards
Here are bits and pieces from some of the postcards and letters
we received.
"So a guy walks into a bar and sits down to order a drink.
No one is in the bar except him and the bartender. All of a sudden
the guy starts hearing voices from the bowl of peanuts on the
bar in front of him. The voices are saying, "Hey, buddy!
That's a great tie you're wearing! You look really good today!
You have a great haircut!" So the guy calls the bartender
over and says, "Hey what's the deal with these nuts?"
And the bartender shrugs and says, "They are complimentary.""
Mark Horan, Youth Minister at Holy Trinity Church in Cheyenne,
WY (Thanks, Stick) …"Brad, it is hard to follow
in someone's footsteps who eats fire." Patrick King at Holy
Trinity, Cheyenne, WY (Just wait until he starts swallowing
swords) … We received a reply from our reader whose
AIN is 666, and no Jeff is not the Anti-Christ … "what
ever would I do without your newsletter?" Rebecca Racosky
…"I'm on vacation and still sending you a post card."
John from Allen, TX … "I would be heart broken if I
stopped receiving it." … A note that was so long that
it spanned two post cards "Congratulations on your marriage.
Gene congratulations on your date." Reachyel Janabel …"are
you enjoying married life, Brad? Are you enjoying your hair colors,
Gene?" Caroline Miesle (Many people who congratulated
Brad on his wedding felt compelled to congratulate Gene on something,
too. One read, "Congratulations for learning to tie your
shoes." We didn't have the heart to tell the reader that
Gene still had his mom tying his shoes.) … "No
babies were injured in the writing of this postcard" Craig
Evers (We could only hope)… "Ok this is a month
late. Oh well!" Emily Kish (Oh well? It could have cost
you as much as never receiving ApeX Attacks ever again! And you
say "Oh well"??!) … "Here you will find
one of my favorite postcards from my recent trip to Germany (as
you can see from the staple holes, I wasn't going to give it
up, but since you two feel so unloved I thought it worth the
sacrifice) Oh yeah, can I get my name in APeX Attacks" from
a friend Gene and Brad grew up with (Of course. Here you go:
my name)…"Been meaning to ask you how you
got the name APeX (with a small e)?" Josey Jacobsen, Lander
,WY (see the web page) … "Coffee stains! Staples!
See what this postcard went through just to get to you guys."
Teresa Nowakowski … Mike O'Hearn sent a post which has a
picture of him and Gene's mom (as well as 126 others) from before
Gene was born. "I'm so worried that my errors in spelling
may be published in your next newsletter. I am having this postcard
proof read." … (We would never make fun of anyone's
spelling, well except Gene's) … Jessica Halverson sent
in a post card again, "Just trying to get free stuff."
(For sending in post cards both times, you got it) …"Keep
up all you guys do because it rubs off" Elizabeth K (We
hope whatever rubbed off smells spring fresh)…"Please
forgive us for forgetting to send in our postcard." The
Wille Family (You are forgiven, we never hold grudges)…"My
personal Pin number" (PIN stands for personal identification
number, so that reads: my personal personal identification number
number) …"Can you tell this is a mother sending
this postcard? Unfortunately, my 13 yr old daughter doesn't seem
quite wise enough yet to appreciate the depth of your humor!
Hope you don't mind her 34 yr old mom sending this so she can
keep receiving your newsletter. (I love it!)" Mary Ann (we
are glad you love it)… Post card of a baby monkey, "Sorry…couldn't
resist…the photo reminds of y'all somehow!)" Matthew
…"I called on my alien brethren and they zapped me
all the way from Wyoming to Iowa so I could buy this for you
guys." Theresa Madaus … "I was wondering if that
stuff about the fan club is true? I would love to have some of
Brad's hair." Angie Aldarondo (Yes it is true, but we
are not sure why you would want some of Brad's hair.) …""Gene:
Solid Gold Dancer"??? I'd like to see you dance." Mary
(Never in public. When Gene dances it scares the small children)
…"I just received APeX Attacks and spent the last
hour reading it even though I should have been cleaning my room!
Thanks."…"You might not remember me. I was the
one who asked you to teach me to juggle." (Oh yes…the
one who asked how to juggle)… "We don't understand
half of what we read in your newsletter, but we feel that we
must renew our subscription anyway." Brad's own grandparents,
Grandma and Grandpa Amburn… "This is my favorite postcard
of all time (with no readily available exceptions that I can
think of) I have had it since I decorated my locker in 11th grade
(9 years ago) and now it is yours because you are big stars and
I need to get APeX Attacks." Amy, formerly of RI…"When
I took this job last January, one of the many pieces of mail
in the office was your publication. I didn't read the first couple
that came in 'cuz I had no interest in reading something called
"When Apes Attack!"" (Hey! That's a good idea
for a magazine)…"I am an avid reader of APeX Attacks,
at least this has been the case for the past 12 hours…Who
would marry Brad?" Bishop Hart, Diocese of Cheyenne (It
was Fr. Ray Rodriguez, who works in your Cathedral)…
"P.S. Age 70 Never too old to enjoy APeX!" (We could
not agree more)…"I know you would rather receive
a postcard notification.....but I have a valid excuse! The internet
world has sucked me in, and all of my correspondence must travel
faster than lightening through telephone wires. Otherwise, I
would send you something, but I think I forgot how to lick a
stamp." Julie Wangler (The next time we request a post
card we will give instructions on how to use stamps)…Meredith
Welton sent us a postcard that was a fun puzzle…Homemade
postcards came from: Andrea Veres(2), Laura Young (amazing),
Jessie Reuter ("Hurry mom, or APeX is gonna be gone before
we get there."), Melissa Main (Gene and Brad in action),
APeX postcard with hearts around all of the pictures of Gene
(A little scary, but we know he loves it), Sue Fitzgerald (duck
movie love scene), Sarah Gnizak (dancing cows/friends), Caroline
Miesle (action of show, great quotes, scenes from the show),
Ashley Trujilo (picture from the movie set of her in Starship
Troopers, even autographed), Callie and Sara Domek, Estela
Other great post cards: Rebecca Racosky sent the first post
card we received and the best (if not a little racey). Jessica
Halverson sent in a post card from Gene's favorite cartoonist,
John Callahan. The cartoon on the card is entitled "Babe
II". It is a picture of bacon frying. Jenny Truitt post
card and great Christian humor entitled "Ye of Little Faith".
Ain 2872 gets bonus points for sending the Rocky and Bullwinkle
postcard. Jen Snekser sent in the largest post card of a dinosaur.
It was on foam care and as the back states "Dino says roarr!"
And last, but not least our dear friends Barb and Rachael Legere
sent in a hairy green post card which was purchased while both
of them had their eyes dilated (by their eye doctor, mind you!). |
