Roadkills-R-Us / Rte 1, box 558 / Johnson Rd / Leander, TX 78641-94131 1-512-267-1063 8 May, 1995 Mavis K. Fowler, Esq. Toys-R-Us 461 From Rd. Paramus, NJ 07652-3524 Dear Ms. Fowler I found your letter of two weeks ago quite interesting. I am curious where you heard of Roadkills-R-Us and what you have seen about it. I'm working on the assumption that you have only seen references to RRU. Roadkills-R-Us does not actually exist as a company, or as any other sort of legal entity. It is purely an entertaining diversion, a product of my imagination, which is currently expressed in Cyberspace via what is known as the "World Wide Web" on the Internet, with excursions into various Usenet 'news groups' (much like computer bulletin boards for a variety of topics). Further references to all of these network entities will be simply to 'the Net' unless a specific portion needs to be designated. Correspondingly, my title of President is as fictitious as the company itself. RRU is an amalgamation of satire, dark humor, and japes at myself and other topics. There is no intent to infringe upon the territory of Toys-R-Us or any of its 'R-Us' subsidiaries or licensed customers. RRU has no products or services, beyond some admittedly bizarre humor on the Net, so there is no competition with Toys-R-Us. In fact, I strive for absurdity in regards to RRU, and I seriously doubt that anyone with the intellectual capacity necessary to negotiate traffic to one of your stores could confuse Roadkills-R-Us with anything even vaguely related to Geoffrey's domain. If anyone there has access to the Net, perhaps via PSI, since Toys-R-Us has finally registered a domain name there, please feel free to browse the RRU Web pages at http://www.rru.com/rru/ In the meantime, and in case network access is restricted there, I am including some hard copy of some of the RRU pages. I would be more than happy to include a disclaimer on all RRU material, stating that RRU is in no way affiliated with Toys-R-Us, and noting that Toys-R-Us is a registered trademark. If a telephone call would expedite matters, we can arrange that at your convenience. The number above is my home phone; by day I can be reached at 1-512-343-6666. My email address is meo@rrucom but for quicker replies during the week you should copy meo@pencom.com. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Sincerely, signature Miles O'Neal
