" And your pal can't help but think that Mr. Pynchon is feeling the pull, 
that he really wants to brush the dirt off his shoulders and get down.

To that end, Rake's Progress is proud to offer a $49 honorarium to Mr. 
Pynchon, payable if he appears on RP this week:

Financial information has been carefully redacted by means of Dia de los 
Muertos fridge magnets, but Mr. Pynchon should rest assured that RP's 
coffers contain the necessary funds.

But seriously, Mr. Pynchon: This is certified check for $49, in honor of 
YPTR's favorite novel of yours. Here it is. A check made out to you, Thomas 
Pynchon, for $49. All you have to do is type up a few words. "A screaming 
comes across the sky.  This message courtesy Rake's Progress." That's $49 
right there. You know the words - it'll be easy.

Like I said, this is made out to you - you divide it up any way you want. If 
you want a complimentary Godzilla t-shirt or some Slippery Elm lozenges or 
something like that, we'll see what we can do.

I'm sincere about this. If this helps you to reach a decision to go public, 
it's well worth the investment. You have agents - you know where I can be 
reached. Just think about it, okay? Thank you."
