David Thorne gained international (or at least internet) notoriety for trying to pay his bill with a drawing of a spider.
So he’s not the kind of guy you should send this sort of letter to. You’re really just asking for trouble…
There’s some pretty funny stuff on his site – but also some not so funny stuff. Be warned.
Here’s a sample from the string of emails he sent to his real estate agent…
“Currently I only have eight dogs but one is expecting puppies and I am very excited by this. I am hoping for a litter of at least ten as this is the number required to participate in dog sled racing. I have read every Jack London novel in preparation and have constructed my own sled from timber I borrowed from the construction site across the road during the night. I have devised a plan which I feel will ensure me taking first place in the next national dog sled championships. For the first year of the puppies life I intend to say the word mush then chase them violently around the apartment while yelling and hitting saucepan lids together. I have estimated that the soundproofing of my apartment should block out at least sixty percent of the noise and the dogs will learn to associate the word mush with great fear so when I yell it on race day, the panic and released adrenaline will spur them on to being winners. I am so confident of this being a foolproof plan that I intend to sell all my furniture the day before the race and bet the proceeds on coming first place.”
