Build a better mousetrap, and the world will beat a path to your door.  Build a peculiar webpage, and some people will randomly run across it and e-mail you, which is always fun.  This page is reserved for some of the e-mails I have received from people previously unknown about various parts of my website.

Jeremy,

I would do almost anything for a karaoke version of in these shoes. I’ve heard of an instrumental demo version from England, but it’s impossible to find. Is there anything I could do to obtain a copy of yours?

James

Subject: sugar free flavors??

I have enjoyed many flavors of your luscious ice creams and yogurt since our local super markets have been selling them. However, now I have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes..so I can never again each your products. Is there any chance that you might be working on a "sugar-free" ice cream? I believe that either Breyers or Dreyers already have sugar-free flavors. I am anxiously awaiting your reply.

Subject: Question for you ...

Hi there! I stumbled upon your website by accident
... nearly illiterate internet user that I am. I have
enjoyed it!

I have a question for you - I heard this question on
the radio while driving around town but didn't hear
the answer. I thought you might know what it would
be.

Q: What English word has two synonyms that are
antonyms to each other?

I hope to hear from you, even if it's to tell me you
don't have time to find the answer (that wouldn't
offend me at all).

Have a great day,
[deleted]

I was checking out your web site ,and was trying to set one up myself.....you did a great job...

[JF: you would think that Bill Gates could just pay me to do it.  While I don't come that cheap, you would still think he could afford it.]

I so love your web page. Unbelievable!

You know what though?, I have been looking for one word that encompasses this
meaning:

When someone makes a word up that is not found in the dictionary, what is
that called. I already know what malapropos means and that's not the word
I'm looking for.

Please Help!
Thanks so much.

Love your hometown pride pages. Manson? Madison? What's the difference?

Just one little quibble: I, too, grew up in Manson. Doug & Faye [JF: my eldest siblings] were classmates & I played a lot in your house & yard. The middle of nowhere? If so, I'd rather be nowhere than a host of other places. Hope to meet you someday.

Subject: your list

Hi Jfreese,
I came across your site while looking for applications of nonscientific
usages of the term macaque for a translation I am doing. Although it is
a common scientific term, it was also used pejoratively in the French
colonies in Africa (sort of to mean "baboon" or "ape" in reference to
the Africans). I don't know whether that means that the word would be
verboten in certain contexts, I guess it would unless one were talking
strictly scientifically.

[JF: I never knew this!  Having no desire to offend someone, I deleted "macaque" from my list of favorite words.]

Subject: Ben & Jerry's Marketing Data Needed!

Hello Jeremy Freese,

I found it very entertaining, by the way, and "Elmer
Fudge" sounds sooo gooood. Anyway, I was wondering if
you had any marketing data on B&J that you could share
with me and my group members.

You can e-mail me any data that you have in an
electronic format, or you can fax the information to
my fax at work

Anything that you can send will be appreciated!
Thank you very much!
