We've not yet worked out the exact language we'll use when we spell out our new definition of fame, but we can give you a few pointers while you bone up for the next game. From here on out, the people you pick as celebrities must be famous in their own right, not guilty by association. No organ-transplantees, comatose shooting victims, or anybody else who hasn't done, said, created or performed some tangible thing to make themselves famous. America ain't so special, after all. Now, keep in mind that The October Lee Jr. is still on, and it's still governed by the same set of rules as always, just the way they were before we wrote this letter.
Nothing changes until next year.
And we're probably going to cut back on the number of Lee Jrs. too. Oh, that's another thing. It seems to us that with a new Lee Jr. game starting every month, the grandeur and luster of The Invitational have started to suffer. The annual contest is the backbone of this goofy little party we're throwing, and we want to keep it special. So, we'll be suspending The Lee Jrs.
