To William Shatner
Dear Mr. Shatner,
I bought a Captain Kirk action figure, but it wasn't anatomically correct. Please send me a replacement.
Your friend,
Weasel McPuppy
P.S. - If you can't mail me a new action figure, please send me your picture instead. I've enclosed my picture.
The Reply:
Dear Friend,
It has always been my desire to be able to speak directly to you who have so generously supported my career over the years. Unfortunately, time and distance make this almost impossible. Nonetheless, I want you to know how very much I do appreciate your letters and your love.
In this world today with so much hurt and strife we need to reach out more than ever to one another, to make the connection, and that's we (sic) try to do through my fan club, Shatner & Friends International, and through my website at WilliamShatner.com. We reach out to each other in friendship. Through the Club we can talk, exchange ideas and I can keep you apprised of my latest activities.
Thank you again for writing and I look forward to continuing friendships. Be happy.
My Best,
William Shatner
A Note From Weasel Regarding the Reply:
Thank you, Mr. Shatner, for the puppy-sized photo. I'm not sure how joining a fan club will help improve this world today with so much hurt and strife, but you probably know better than I do. I am just a little doggy, and you are a starship captain.
Live long and prosper,
Weasel McPuppy

To Tim Allen
Dear Santa,
I was a good little girl this year, and what did you leave in my stocking? Bupkis. What's up with that, fat man?
Disappointed,
Weasel McPuppy
P.S. - I've enclosed my picture. Please send me your picture. It won't make up for the lack of presents, but it's a start.

To Garry Trudeau
Dear Mr. Trudeau,
Your comic strip is more insightful than anything found on the editorial pages of the newspaper, but it doesn't lend itself very well to merchandising. Maybe you should add a cute animal sidekick.
Your friend,
Weasel McPuppy
P.S. - I hear Maltese doggies are very cute. You could even name the character Weasel if you wanna.
P.P.S. - I've enclosed my picture. Please send me your picture; or a drawing would be just as good.

To Tom Cruise
Dear Mr. Cruise,
You were very convincing as the Lucky Charms guy in Far and Away. Are you really a leprechaun? You can tell me. I promise I won't steal your gold.
Your friend,
Weasel McPuppy
P.S. - Tom Cruise isn't a very good leprechaun name. Did you change it? I think you look more like a Paddy O'Taters.
P.P.S. - I've enclosed my picture. Please send me your picture and maybe a four-leaf clover.

Joan Rivers Responds

To Goldie Hawn
Dear Ms. Hawn,
I'm glad to see that you had your Laugh-In tattoos removed. I hope it wasn't too painful.

To Jay Leno

To Zach Galifianakis
Dear Mr. Galifianakis,
You are super funny! You should be a big star, but you'll never be a household name with a moniker like "Zach Galifianakis." Have you thought about using a stage name? Here are some suggestions:
- Zack Galifianakis
- Jeb Galifianakis
- Biff Galifianakis
- Shecky Galifianakis
- Ignatz Galifianakis
- Galifianakis the Great
- Captain Ha-Ha
Weasel McPuppy
P.S. - You could always go by "Weirdo Beardo."
P.P.S. - I've enclosed my picture. Please send me your picture. You can sign it any way you wanna.
The Reply:
My thoughts are with you.
Zach Galifianakis
A Note From Weasel Regarding The Reply:
Thank you, Mr. Galifianakis, for saying your thoughts are with me. However, since you have some pretty odd thoughts, that may not be entirely good.

To Keith Richards
Dear Mr. Richards,
I like your music, but I can't understand a word you say. Please enunciate. Is that so hard?
Your friend,
Weasel McPuppy
P.S. - Maybe you should see a speech therapist.
P.P.S. - I've enclosed an autographed picture. Please send me an autographed picture. I sure hope your handwriting is better than your diction.

To Charo
Dear Charo,
What does "cuchi-cuchi" mean? I hope you aren't saying anything dirty.
Your friend,
Weasel McPuppy

A Note From Weasel Regarding the First Reply:
Dear Charo,
I can see your booking agent needs to buy spell checking software, but maybe begging money off little doggies isn't the best way to get it. I wish you luck.
Your friend,
Weasel McPuppy
P.S. - Why did you return my photo? Don't you like pictures of cute doggies?
The Second Reply:
To Weasel,
Love and cuchi-cuchi,
Charo
A Note From Weasel Regarding The Second Reply:
Dear Ms. Charo,
Thank you for the beautiful picture. It was well worth the wait (and the run around from Scott Stander). I knew all along that you weren't the one trying to extort money from a poor little doggy. If you see Mr. Stander, please kick him in the cuchi-cuchis for me.
Love,
Weasel

To Esther Williams
Dear Ms. Williams,
Are you part mermaid? Please let me know. I've got five bucks ridin' on it.
Your friend,
Weasel McPuppy
P.S. - I also like to do water ballet; but they won't let me in the public pool, because I'm a little doggy. I have to practice in a bucket.
P.P.S. - I've enclosed my picture. Please send me your picture, in or out of the water.
The Reply:

To Doris Day
Dear Ms. Day,
When I was just a little girl, I asked my mother, "What will I be? Will I be pretty? Will I be rich?" Here's what she said to me: "Ssh! Mommy's watching her stories. Now, freshen up my drink; will ya, hon?"
Que sera, sera,
Weasel McPuppy
P.S. - I like the romantic comedies you made in the 1960's. You were the original 40-year-old virgin.
P.P.S. - I've enclosed my picture. Please send me your picture. I hear you are very nice to little doggies.

I want to be just like you. I've got a Weaselcave, a Weaselmobile, a Weaselcomputer, and I've got a Weaselcopter on order. All I need is some crime to fight. Do you have any overflow work?

You are kooky. Some people think that's a good thing; but I wouldn't try gettin' a job in a bank if I were you.

Dear Mr. Haig,
Don't feel bad that you were rejected by the devil. It might turn out to be a good thing.

To Cindy Crawford
To Dick Van Dyke
Dear Mr. Van Dyke,
I would strongly suggest that you avoid ottomans in the future; 'cause at your age you could break a hip.
Your friend,
Weasel McPuppy
P.S. - I've enclosed my picture. Please send me your picture. It's the least you can do, because I had nightmares after watching the show where you lost your thumbs (and I don't even have thumbs).
The Reply:
Hi Weasel!
God Bless,
Dick Van Dyke
A Note From Weasel Regarding The Reply:
Thank you, Mr. Van Dyke. You'll be glad to know that I no longer have nightmares about you losing your thumbs. Now I have nightmares about a flying saucer that says "Uhny Uftz!"
