When was Ouzo created? Twenty odd years ago? I assumed it was a current event
until I read the letter attached dated 1988. Is that the year or was it even before then. What would the estimated retail price be?

"The Ouzo Prophecy" was published on July 4, 1984, and the first copy was mailed to the president of the Procter & Gamble Company. The game is expected to sell for $74.95 (a dispenser @ $57.50, a roll of 3,000 Ouzo tickets @ $12.50, and S&H @ $4.95).

I think we can now all guess why bob accuses P&G of being Satanists.

Well, you know, the divine inspiration of "The Ouzo Prophecy".



So lets get this straight.

1) Ouzo BS is divinely inspired by god.
who is god?
2) He's the bloke who divinely inspires Ouzo.

Have you ever heard of tautology?

It's not a tautology at all. "The Ouzo Prophecy" was inspired by a mystical force in nature that can be called God.


And God is who?
Who's on base?
Who is the president of China.

Back to Ouzo, does $74.95 seem like a fair price for the game, covering the tickets, dispenser and S&H? Of course, the game doesn't exist yet, and has never been played, but based on what I think will be a successful micro-test in bars and taverns, can I put you down for one?

If you actually have the game in your abode, you just might eventually learn how to play Ouzo. Isn't salvation worth $74.95?

Actually, it's "The Ouzo Prophecy" that should sell for $74.50, except it's priceless.

It's going to take money to launch "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" traveling show sponsored by the Church of Ouzo. You probably don't know much about "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse," but you will find a reference to it in the "Notes on the Ouzo Cross" in "The Ouzo Prophecy."
