I just couldn't resist sharing this with you all. Sometimes I get the funniest Spam subject lines, with the best fictitious sender names.
Best name yet -I'm thinking this is a great way to come up with band names- "Spoons G. Inconsistency"
I got this one today:
Sender: "Goof B. Pedestrianizes",
Subject: "chekk out the yard whorres"
The mind boggles at the number of ways one might possibly become a "yard whorre".
Anybody else have a little Spam humor, or know what a "yard whorre" might be? Do they have plant sex with your lawn for money?

I don't get the ones with cool names, just cool subjects. This is the best of the last week:

Ramona got one the other day that had "Hi" in the subject line, and the first sentence of the email was "Elk extract that helps you in the bed with the girl."

Damn, Sarah - you beat me to it! My favorite part of that one was THE girl. Cause, which girl? I have gotten it at least five times since then. Always with the fairly innocent subject of "hey" or "hi".
I just got one from GetBig - which was of course something along the lines of "emily_rainbow, enlarge your penis today!" I mean, they obviously don't pay any mind to the fact of WHO they are sending these emails to. Because last I checked, no penis here!

Wow - I'm glad I'm not the only girl getting those emails, ramona. I think I'm going to actually start reading my spam, because this is some seriously funny stuff - so dadaist. I mean, I just got this one a few minutes ago:
Apparently, the purpose of the email (selling a mortgage) has absolutely nothing to do with the scrolling text:
"I said ' well slap mah fro, You look like a linear january, 'Let's go behind the kati. Friends don't let friends go photoresist the faye. Don't be so shiniest the rudolph doesn't enjoy discharging the closest melisa."
but WAIT! there's More!:

I've heard that some spam contains passages from works by L. Frank Baum (author of The Wizard of Oz, and one of my personal favorite writers). Kind of a scary thought that some spammer somewhere might also be a Baum fan.

That's a sobering thought, VoVat, or dizzying...one of the two. I really should read the rest of his books.
Btw, VoVat, did you happen to see when I told you I happened across your website, before I ever started visiting this forum? (I was doing a search on something about Ozymandias) Bit of an odd coincidence. <cue The Twilight Zone theme music>

No, I don't think I saw that. Was that in a forum post? If so, which topic? That's pretty weird and coincidental and all that.

Like, Carolyn meet Christian singles in your area.
And I'm not really Christian or single.
or get cheap health insurance (and its from New Jersey or something)
I love to respond by email as I go to unsubscribe, things like
hey do you guys think you're missing your target market here slightly? |

you probably know this, but that only generates more spam. by responding, you validate your address as "live" and then it makes the premium lists.

Disco hyena, eh? I just discovered a confounding new insult to toss around! It feels unfair - I want to get on whatever spam list you happened across. All I get is penis enlargement stuff and money laundering offers from the children of various deposed African dictators...
Nothing is ever something. |

I thought that was true only if you unsubscribe on their website.
But you're saying that its the same story if you unsubscribe by email? |

Yep. Any indication that their email reached a live body will cement you into the halls of Spamdom henceforth. Bulk email filters *activate*! This is one case where legislation may actually be useful...the US recently implemented a "Do Not Call" list for telemarketers, so we can opt-out. Violators are subject to $10,000 in fines per call to people on that list. I think the same structure should be applied to all forms of solicitation. Popups are one thing, but get outta my inbox unless you bring funny jumbling nonsense messages. I do not need thicker lips.

Subject: rodent lager
Most places charge $20, while we charge only $5.
Quite a difference.
