Spam Subject Line of the Day

Dateline: Crazytown
Margaret reporting.

From: Flora Chu
Subject: Better future, woman-man
Clearly, things are looking up for hermaphrodites and transsexuals. Yay!


Thanks margaret. That was a good one. Please see Margaret's blog, Fort Worth Sunshine Girl, linked to the right. Sometimes, though, I have the feeling that she's the only one who reads my blog, so linking HER blog seems a bit... ummm... something.

Spam Subject Line of the Day

Here's a head-scratcher for you...

subject: My smoke go galumph blowhole

I've had this one stored in my 'funny spam' folder for a couple weeks, and every time I look at it, I laugh. Usually for a different reason each time. Sometimes it's because one of my favorite onomatopoeia exclamations is 'HARUMPH' ... sometimes because blowhole is a funny word. Sometimes because I really enjoy random....ummm.. osity? Most of the time, it's because someone took the time to write that and it makes absolutely no sense.

Very rarely does a spam subject make me actually open the email. Unfortunately, this one came from my spam filter via my POBox account, and it only sends me the sender and subject line. I have to manually go fish the message out of their website if I actually want to read it. I didn't want to read this one THAT much, but the subject line was almost enough to make me do so. I mean... what is that about? What product or service could this possibly be selling?

Spam Subject Line of the Day

You may recall a while ago, I posted a spam about The US new Colorado State Detection... and my discomfort with this administration's ineptitude... I mean.. to lose an entire state? Much less the one with the highest average elevation in the country...

Well, discomfit no more... rejoice with me and read today's spam subject line of the day:

"U.s. governments just found State of Colorado development"


HOORAY!!


Evidently, the new technology paid off.

Spam Subject Line of the Day

Many chuckles, plus furrowed brow:

From: Fifth Third Bank
Subject:Fifth Third Bank: Secure Verification

Really? The Fifth Third bank? Assuming that there were five First banks and five Second banks, that makes the Fifth Third bank the FIFTEENTH bank. Is this really where you want to put your money?

"But now I can penetrate hardly and give the pleasure to every woman"

Hardly??? Not exactly a ringing endorsement for male enhancement drugs, if you ask me.

Spam Subject Line of the Day + bonus

Today's nugget thanks to my friend Margaret, whose blog you can find linked to the right (Fort Worth Sunshine Girl)

From: crack
Subject: become medically disabled

.....yeah.


Went to a new (for me) sushi joint with said friend Margaret tonight based on her recommendation, as well as one from my friend and sushi buddy Paige .... good times. Great company, nice sushi. It's Pirahna's Killer Sushi in downtown Fort Worth. I'd been to the one in Arlington a few years ago, and wasn't totally impressed. But the quality of the fish, and the originality of the preparations here were very good. I also had a pear sake martini... I don't particularly care for sake or martinis historically. But I enjoyed this... the pear offset the vinegarish quality of the sake in a nice balance (I'm all about balance) and all the other martini components were clean and crisp making it a nice beverage experience. And of course, I always love sushi, so it's hard to pick that apart. But I have to say that with the excellent company, the loud atmosphere and the copious alcohol, the sushi was more of an undertone to the evening than the main event. I'm ok with that.
