Agent Courtney reports:
The UK's Natural History Museum has developed a fabulous and virtually-free-of-redeeming-educational-value-but-a-really- good-excuse-for-an-animatronic-dragon touring museum exhibit called Myths and Monsters: Unraveling the Truth. Check out the one-eyed guy. Extremely sweet.
Alas, though this exhibit tours internationally, it has yet to hit these old Pilgrim shores of Massachusetts.
My latest project, therefore, is to bombard the Boston Museum of Science with requests for this important and, particularly in light of the recent discovery of elephant skulls on the island of Crete, relevant exhibit.
Please, friends of Leisure, take a moment to draft a short e-mail to the good people at the Museum of Science (information@mos.org) and tell them you want Myths and Monsters. I have taken the liberty of drafting the following e-mail as a template. You may, of course, wish to substitute your own thoughts.
I write in the hope that you will consider booking a touring exhibition produced by the Natural History Museum in London. The exhibition is called Myths and Monsters and it explores the tales behind mythical creatures, how they came to be, the myths surrounding them and their possible origins in the natural world.
It features an animatronic Cyclops.
I would be proud to attend such an exhibit and proud to bring the whole family. You may learn more about the exhibit at the Museum's website (www.nhm.ac.uk).
Thank you for your consideration.
All the Leisurely are cordially invited to join me for a massive scorpion bowl at the Hong Kong after this sucker debuts.
I sent in my e-mail today. Bring forth the one-eye!
