spam

Ya know, we all get spam. I’ve written about it before, how in a race, my gmail account totally lapped my yahoo mail account at spam. I’ve written about some of the amusing Engrish subjects in the spam folder.

At this moment, there are 3,048 messages in my spam folder, with the latest sporting the subject “—-SALE—– Limited Off3r -Looking for perfect gift? Buy Rkolex 1c037.” But that’s not what I’m talking about.

I also find, as time goes on, that I get more and more mail from people that have mistaken my email address for somebody else. For example, for a while I was a 50-something year old female in Oregon on Match.com. I also routinely get updates about my JetBlue account, which I find amusing, because it sounds to me like a dishwasher soap. Needless to say, I didn’t sign up.

Here’s my favorite Random Bit of Crap I received this week. I honestly have no idea who she is, but I think I now have a cell phone number associated with her, there was no message, only this:

I’ll post more random mail some other time

Due to a massive spam attack, comments, pingbacks, my contact form, and anything else I can find are closed until some time later when I feel like fucking with it again.

Anybody who has read me knows my email address, probably.

Sorry to have to do this, but the fucking spambots are annoying me to no end. Have a nice day.

Update (12/12): In honor of my son’s birthday, I’ve decided to allow comments to registered users only. Just sign up for an account and you can comment (and no, I don’t share emails, blah blah blah). If you have trouble I’m oldsillybear on the google mail system.

Needing a Happy! Fun! post, this is the coolest thing I’ve seen all day. They have lots more.

Spam one-liners turned into art.
