Emerging Competition

So Masappers, this should be an interesting read for you. I found out today that there is another facebook group called 'MASAP.' I researched them, and discovered a very disturbing thing: they have actually tried to assign a meaning to the acronym MASAP. I could not believe my eyes! They actually assigned words to each individual letter of the MASAP acronym. A big step forward in world politics! Acting under the direction of MASAP President Yeager, I took the initiative to message the creator and head administrator of the other MASAP facebook group: A pretty young woman named Marie Schramke. This is my message to her in full:


Dear Marie,

My name is Jeremy Moore. Also, from what I can gather, I believe that we are mutually involved in the truly revolutionary cause of MASAP. Due to our similar interests, as well as our long history of cooperation, I believe that a merger would be a profitable proposition for the both of us.

A little bit of history for you:
Born in the ashes of your 20th anniversary celebration, yes on the very same evening (October 16, 2009), MASAP was born. With little wind to guide us, we followed the path of least resistance.

Logically, we wrote a daily newsletter. We searched for purpose. We found all the right friends in all the right places. When it seemed like no progress was being made, and at the very moment when my consciousness was about to sink into utter oblivion, it was as if a light turned on. A blinding, bright light that made me wonder if I had fallen asleep at a board meeting. After all the long hours of deliberation, research, and board meetings (which always make me bored...), we were inspired to name ourselves the "Maine Association of Student Affairs Practitioners," a wholly unremarkable name to say the least. We hurried over to the patent office in our beat-up hot air balloon, only to found that you had arrived first. 20 years before. To the day.

I'm sure you can relate.

Since our name was taken, the Feds weren't about to let us register. Ever since that time, we have labored without ceasing, continuously pressing on in an effort to reach the state of perfection that the Hindu's call Nirvana. After listening to a few albums, I decided I wasn't a big fan.

Nevertheless and notwithstanding, I come to you humbly, begging for a truthful response to my plea. On bended knee, I beseech of you-- come to the negotiation table. Allow us some kind of treaty, alliance, business merger, or NAP.

Respectfully Yours,
Jeremy Moore

I await her response. Also, more instruction will follow. In the meantime, I am yours, forever and always.

Respectfully,
-the Voter.
