Misdirected Fan Mail by Evil Sugar

June 4th, 2008 4:12 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Scan the phonebook until you find someone with the same name as a famous celebrity. Send them fan mail.

MISSION: Misdirected Fan Mail

Gummies enjoy many movies and television shows that feature human actors, but they have no urge to write fan mail to humans. Gummy bears, they argued, should write fan mail to a gummy celebrity. This was perfect, as the gummy bears are huge fans of:

Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears

(play the video to hear the theme song -- it's catchy!)

You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video

So they searched whitepages.com for the famous and talented gummi bears: Gruffi, Zummi, Tummi, Sunni, Cubbi, and Gusto. They limited their search to Los Angeles, since clearly such famous celebrities would live in LA.

Sadly, NONE of those gummies had addresses listed (presumably because they feared being nommed on). That left only Grammi Gummi, who is a big favorite with the gummy bears, but who is extra difficult to track down because her real first name is unkown. Or was, until today.

After much research, the gummies realized that Grammi Gummi could be none other than Sudi Gummi. It all fit. Gummi Bears from the show generally had names that ended with "i" and Sudi ended in "i." Furthermore, Sudi Gummi appeared to be working as a researcher, which fit because Grammi Gummi was always very wise.

The gummies selected a card (which, surprise surprise, had a picture of a bear on it!):

.

and drafted a letter:

Dear Sudi Gummi (may we call you Grammi?),

We are so pleased to have finally found you. It was hard because we didn't know your first name. We knew it must end in "i" and that you probably lived in LA like all the movie stars. We are huge fans of Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears. It must have been so wonderful to live in Gummy Glen and drink Gummiberry juice. Do you know if Gummiberries grow anywhere outside of Gummy Glen? We have looked, but never found any. We wanted to ask you because you are very wise.

We drew you some pictures. We hope you like them.


Lots of love, The Gummy Bears.

They also included a link, in case Grammi wanted to contact them: www.sf0.org/GummyGirl



Based on what little the gummies know about human mail systems, the card should arrive on Saturday. The gummies are hopeful that Grammi Gummi will come here to SF0 and answer their fan mail.

Humans are not fans of Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears? The gummies are deeply saddened to learn this information. They would have expected the entire cast of Gummies to be flooded with fan mail. Instead, they will take comfort in knowing that their letter will be especially appreciated.
