  • Is the wickedly lovely Cave illiterate, or is the teacher a shitty writer? The latter is likely, the former is impossible.

  • @PotatoManTada

    Having seen Nick read out loud in person, I'm going to go with the latter. Keep in mind that it's written on the back of a chocolate wrapper.

  • Out of interest, what did Nick say just as the video cut off? He wasn't making fun of the writer, was he?

  • "Ali Baba", Didn't get the timing quite right so it got cut a bit. Yes, I am guessing it was in reference to the writer of the letter.

  • Why would you hope they feel embarrassed? The letter made me a bit sad because the person didn't sound very happy, but I don't know why we are in a rush to judge each other so harshly.

  • I love his voice!

    And a Hersheys wrapper at that

  • Its not clear to me who this letter is from, Ally or Ali Baba. Though poignant in either case.

  • thats rather lovely i think, i dont think its something to be made fun of. naturally you might feel a bit strange on recieving such a letter, but i think it would be something rather touching. odd, but touching. this person is putting trust in someone they are fond of, i think its sweet. i agree with the comment below me, the writer just wanted someone to talk to.

  • @Ynno2 people love to laugh at weakness, frailty, awkwardness etc. in others. It makes them feel big & important, even though it's more pathetic than what they are laughing at. I think the person who wrote the letter just wanted somebody to talk to, even if it's just a letter that will never get a reply.

  • Aww, poor Nick had a cold.

  • @EdieNippoli pretty sure it's the name of the candy.

    "Tom Waits - Chocolate Jesus" anyone?

  • A chocolate wrapper? Jesus Christ, the poor woman.

  • Poor Ally

  • o gawd, hes soooo luscious
