I wrote a brief thing saying something like glad things worked out with Lisa, but I'm guessing either it was automated (in this case, noticing my address) or whoever they got to respond to these went to my school, because here's what I got:

Gee, that's awfully sophisticated for an auto-responder. You may be able to do something like that with a clever enough program, but it would probably be cheaper to hire an intern to sift through the messages and answer them in character.

What's going on? I tried to bid on a Weird Al Yankovic t-shirt on Ebay, and now everyone in the world is sending me electric letters like crazy!
I'm so confused. I'm going to Moe's to drink myself ugly.

P.S. If you know Weird Al, tell him to send me a t-shirt.
