spamalot

occasionally emily will post regarding the spam she receives in her email. i used to quickly clear my spam folder without a thought but those posts have made me curious about my own spam. these days i scan the subject lines of my spam email before i delete it and am rewarded for my time with a laugh or two. there are a few that are repeat offenders: IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR BETSY.HIGGINS, the usual round of male enhancements and everyone seems to want to sell me a cheap rolex watch. today, however, there were three that i found truly original. combining the best of the modern world, pop culture and serious international news, here are three of the best spam emails i have ever received:
from: max Finklestein
subject: Paris Hilton violated by GYPSIES - WATCH NOW
how i knew it was spam: i am not sure there are real gypsies anymore and if there are i KNOW they don't have video cameras...unless they've stolen them and moved on down the road. possible.

from: Smarando Cacho
subject: Taliban say Nicky Hilton hotter than Paris Hilton - PUSH TO WATCH
how i knew it was spam: nicky is hotter than paris...i do not need the taliban to tell me this.

from: Hili domzal
subject: Hollywood Big Guns to Follow Paris and Britney to Burma
how i knew it was spam: paris & brit are no longer friends. come on people...everyone knows this.
take a gander at your spam mail before you delete. there are some true gems in there...i'll bet you a rolex on it.

so someone's finally drinking the kool-aid that I'M making...who knew? yes, highly entertaining. those were good ones. i have my boss checking hers as well...her best one from last week was "john edwards admits to fathering clay aiken's baby". good stuff.

btw...i'm at my mom's and can NOW see your template and it's crazy cute and i'm devastated that i can't see it at work.

as for spam: i can't start reading mine. i am overcommitted in so many other areas. however, i love your commentary on your spam, so i think you need to keep reading it!
