Dear Concerned Reader:
Thank you for taking the time to write to us here at 2Chads1Cup. We love correspondence and enjoy intellectual banter as much as the next guy. However, in this situation, I feel you may be missing some of the necessary requirements for intelligent conversation. I fail to see how you could ever think me to be a racist individual. I never once mentioned Mr. Obama’s skin color nor do I think that has a bearing on his political character in the slightest.
I don’t really feel inclined to respond to the rest of your tirade, but suffice it to say you should definitely consider using the “spell check” feature your email client provides. And I’m glad that even if no one else is visiting our blog, we can count on your support and diligent reading of our posts.
Finally, thanks for the compliments on my ’80s cartoon commercials post. I have a feeling you and cartoons are on the same cerebral plane. Thanks again for checking out 2Chads1Cup.
Sincerely,
-Chad 2

Mr. “Chad 2.”-
I recently, and unfortunately, stumbled across your blog while perusing the internet and I must say you are highly misguided. You preach how religion is hypocritical but then proceed to write about “Christmas” and how anyone who says “Happy Holidays” is a “douchebag.” Your words.
It is my professional opinion that you should close down this blog, go home, and shoot yourself. You’ll be doing the world a favor.

Dear Concerned Reader,
While I am loathe to take anyone who considers themselves a true “anarchist” seriously, I was charmed by your ability to pick out one line in my entire article and hone in on it. If you would have continued reading, you would’ve seen that I went on to bash what Christmas has become. I spoke about the blatant commercialization that has overtaken the holiday. I’m sorry if you prefer Happy Holidays over Merry Christmas, but that is your choice.
On a sidenote, I’m not a “Christian” per se. Rather, I believe in deism and consider myself a firm deist. If you’re not sure what that means, I suggest you look it up. Regardless, I appreciate your concern and will certainly take your suggestion to “shoot myself” under consideration.
Sincerely,
-Chad 2

Dear Concerned Reader,
My would-be partner in crime, Chad 1, is unable to write in the blog at this moment. His spot is reserved and I am currently doing all the writing. Chad 1’s computer is so ancient, I wouldn’t be surprised to find 3rd world children with nicer systems. Once he starts writing again, that Chad 1 / Chad 2 signature will come in handy since I am obviously the better writer and I don’t want anyone to mistake his poopy essays for my spit-shined articles.
Seriously though, he’ll be here soon…maybe. Thanks for the kind comments.
Sincerely,
-Chad 2
