One thing I am going to love the most about leaving here is NO MORE SPAM to my work email account. LET US ALL ENJOY THE CAPSLOCK FUNCTION FOR A MOMENT, SHALL WE?
Have you ever wondered if the reason we haven't had any contact from aliens is because they've been getting tons of our spam but they're perfectly happy with the size of genitalia, so they feel no need to reply, and think maybe we're too insecure to try a relationship just now, especially one with inter-species problems? I'm always worried that someone will mistake an email for spam, so I'm tempted to
use subject lines like, "I think the current size of your breasts/penis is fine."
Strangley with spam, bad spelling is more offensive than the spam itself. I'm sure you can all guess what I thought when I got spam telling me I could "slash my credit-card payments!"
VISaNMsaterCard4EVAH!!!!!1!
I've also been getting viagra spam from Henry James. The world does not contain enough caffeine to enable me to count the ways in which that's just wrong. "Has the d�cor of your amorous liaisons been suffering the dolorous lack of that which, were it to spring unbidden to life, as of old, would furnish it with the stiff rod of durance?"
Huh. And now the neverending torrent of spam to my work account has just offered me "a free puppy
starter kit". Wouldn't that be, like, two mature dogs?
Ah - I get a great deal spam offering to protect me from spam. I also get a great deal of spam offering to sell me lists. Spam killing spam .. Spam making spam... They've got their own complete e-cosystem.

Skyzy88: yeah
Skyzy88: what's it about? nekkid people?
OrigTurtle: dunno
Apparently, I can read Gay Vampire Snuff Porn and Gay Underage Alien Porn at work without blinking an eye, my current work desktop is a big picture of Ewan McGregor and Jude Law in bed together in purple pajamas, yet I'm embarrassed that the teenage cashier at Borders will think less of me for buying Maxim. I am continually surprised by my own embarrassment threshold. So if I was trying to work, but it was hard, I'm perfectly justified in reading Highlander slash instead, right?
