From: Lilly Tao To: Subject: Road Rally!! Date: Monday, August 17, 1998 1:58 PM DATELINE: Washington, DC August 17, 1998 The secret formula for the blue decision-making fluid used in Magic 8 balls, stolen from the manufacturer last week, still has not been recovered. Efforts to retrieve the formula have been prioritized by the federal government, causing some to believe that our national defense system could somehow be compromised if it is known to foreign governments. Skeptics, however, are speculating that perhaps Congress and The White House are concerned that their primary decision making tool is about to be revealed to the general public. Both President Clinton and the Speaker of the House scoffed at claims that Magic 8 balls have played any part in national policy decisions. A call for agents to help track down the thieves and determine their motives has gone out. Some have already stepped up to take on the challenge. There's still time to SIGN UP for Ken and Lilly's Road Rally. Get your team psyched and signed up NOW by emailing Lilly. If you intend to field a team but haven't gotten everyone in sync yet, you may email your intent to have a team so that we can reserve a spot for you. Don't miss out on all the FUN! A bit more Q&A: Q. If someone isn't on this email list can I still have them on my team? A. Yes! Please feel free to ask anyone else to join in on the fun. Q. What kinds of things do I bring for a road rally? A. Ahhhh, so you want to be prepared. Good idea. Helpful road rally tools in the past have included: phone books, maps, tire irons, and wading boots. We, however, have made a firm commitment to make sure that standard issue road rally equipment is not necessary for FUN and successful participation. A vehicle, however, is necessary. Q. When was it again? A. Saturday, August 29, 1998. If you somehow missed our original email, let us know and we can send it to you again. If you prefer not to receive further emails concerning this road rally, we will gladly take you off the email list if you let us know. DISCLAIMER: actual road rally plot may differ from that proposed by our PR firm. road rally sponsors will not be liable for any distress caused by "road rally anticipation syndrome". please keep hands and feet inside the vehicle while it is in motion.
