On the weirdness of spam

Posted on By admin 9 Comments on On the weirdness of spam

Casino spam? boring.
Viagra/Valium/Xanax/Vicodin spam? commonplace.
Spam-blocker spam? ironic, but next!
Horse cock spam and angry russians? rarer, but still nothing to write home to mom about
High colonics? Colon care???

I mean, who in their right mind would buy colon care on the internet…. O.o

  1. Spam sucks. Pop up porn on our computer at home has my roommates wondering what the hell I look at when they aren't around. I would be worth it if I actually was checking out porn, but alas, no.

    I just noticed that I had been friended. Steph was telling me a bit about you last night. I hope you don't mind that I friended you back.

    And oh yeah… I mean, who in their right mind would buy colon care on the internet… Amen to that!

  2. I had to install a spam filter on my outlook. Of the fifty or so emails I get in a day, two thirds are spam, a sixth are jokes or memes, and the rest is actual work-related stuff :)

    As to being friended, well, the friend of a friend and all that :P I've read some of your posts, and your sarcasm and cynicism fit right up my twisted little alley. Welcome aboard :P BTW, I love the monkey. I also noted that you were a Pratchett fan. If you love him, you should read Christopher Moore. Are you a punster by any chance? If so, look up Spider Robinson. As for what you've heard about me, I'd love to hear about it :P

  4. As you will find out, I am not called Sarcastabitch Extraordinaire for nothing.
    The monkey is from the Family Guy… awesome show… Chris to Peter”Dad, what are blowholes for?” Peter to Chris “Well, I'll tell you what they're not for son, and why I'm never allowed back to Seaworld”.
    I'll let you sell yourself.. I never believe anything Steph says anyway although nothing bad was uttered.
    Pratchett fan for sure, although I haven't read too much of his work… I will check out Mr. Moore when I get the pile of unread books on my table down a bit. Thanks :D

  5. I'm not a huge family guy myself, though the evil baby and the alcoholic dog are cool.

    I'll let you sell yourself.. I never believe anything Steph says anyway although nothing bad was uttered.
    *chuckle* I hope I get to meet you soon. Then again, I hope to meet Steph soon also :)

    Pratchett fan for sure, although I haven't read too much of his work…
    My favourites involve the city watch (Guards! Guards!, Men at arms, Feet of Clay, Jingo, The Fifth Element, The night watch). Other favourites involve Death, and Death's granddaughter (Thief of Time stands out). These are books that had me laughing out loud in the metro. Moore also does that to me, if that gives you any indication.

    I will check out Mr. Moore when I get the pile of unread books on my table down a bit.
    Whatcha reading these days?

  8. Well… if you are not a Family Guy fan, then there is absolutely no need to speak to me ever again… I mean, why would I want to have anything to do with you?!? :D
    I have about 7 books on the go, including Good Omens for the 100th time, and the newest Harry Potter book… did Steph tell you that I am just a huge child?
    I enjoy books that make people laugh in the metro. If you want other people to laugh at you you should read this book called Leaves of Grass… the book starts out normal enough, then as the character goes crazier and crazier, the printing gets all messed up… three pages written upside down, one that you have to turn around in a circle to read.. got many a strange look when I was reading that one.

  9. My inner child is alive and well also, so the Harry Potter books aren't an issue – I've read them all many times myself. I'll look into the book you mention. If you like that sort of thing, i'd also recomment Microserfs, by Douglas Coupland. At a superficial level, it'a about a bunch of coders from Microsoft that quit to start a their own company in the dotcom age. At a deeper level, it's a very thought-provoking book about how people relate to each other in the age of computers. Really good.
