Bradbury: according to my stories, in the far distant future of 2001
Bradbury: we shall travel in tubes
Bradbury: we'll have flying cars
Bradbury: and we'll all be eating our sunsweet prunes out of individually wrapped plastic packs
Poe: wait you never said that in your stories
Bradbury: i wish i had
Bradbury: i would have been 1 for 3 at least

Bradbury: look, they individually wrap these sunsweet prunes in plastic
Bradbury: what a world!

Bradbury: tearing open this individually wrapped snack pack reminds me of tearing open presents on christmas morning, snow on the ground, ma and pa taking the day off from working the farm, the whole family arriving in a caravan of automobiles, aunts and uncles and cousins by the dozen, oh my! oh my! uncles a little too loud after three egg nogs, cousins playing cops & robbers in the hay loft

Bradbury: and the feasting, the jollity! too many voices all at once, raised in laughter, in song. the twinkle in dad's eye, the red roses in mom's cheeks, grandpa's baritone chuckle. falling asleep to the sounds of bing crosby on the tombstone radio, surrounded by the warm glow of early evening
King: wow these prunes sound pretty incredible
King: i'm sold!
Koontz: [tearing open sunsweet prune container] guys
Koontz: i think my prunes are broken
Koontz: i didn't feel any of that stuff ray said

Poe: ray are they paying you to advertise for prunes
Bradbury: no no of course not!
Bradbury: i would never accept money to tell you about the incredible health benefits of america's favorite prunes, sunsweet
Bradbury: full of 12 different antioxidents
King: can i buy them with my american express card

Neil Gaiman: but ray!
Gaiman: using the limitless vista of your inpirational mind to advertise a mere consumer good
Gaiman: such a tawdry use of the gift of imagination!
Gaiman: it cheapens us as writers just as the low low prices of chipotle cheapens organic rice and GMO-free beans to bring wholesome healthy Mexican inspired fusion cuisine to the masses
