SPAM, part lV

KC Jul 06 2006 11:58 AM

Between internet software and google mail's built in spam detectors, I get very little spam anymore (except on one account which is my own fault). mets.com sends out way too many freakin' messages, seems like at least two a day. I don't mind getting news, but NO, I'm not voting for Wagner and frankly the pimping for votes via email is nothing but SPAM.

Elster88 Jul 06 2006 11:58 AM

Agreed.

What is the worst sequel in the worst movie franchise ever?

Edgy DC Jul 06 2006 12:18 PM

Was that the subject line on a spam message you received?

OlerudOwned Jul 07 2006 01:36 PM

I think I've posted it already, but http://spamusement.com/

Recently, Svetlana a 27 yo Russian woman asked my entire department on a date.

Elster88 Aug 08 2006 01:29 PM

Forward that email to my PM box. I dig Russian chicks.

Willets Point Aug 08 2006 01:33 PM

I get the impression that she's only interested in group dates with librarians.

Benjamin Grimm Aug 29 2006 02:22 PM

Somebody named Jeff is hoping that I'm free tonight. Somebody named Ray is reminding me that summer is almost here.

cooby Aug 30 2006 08:55 AM

Maybe Ray is from Australia. So, what did you and Jeff do last night? Ballgame?

Benjamin Grimm Aug 30 2006 09:27 AM

We just went out for coffee.

KC Sep 01 2006 11:33 AM

I just don't get the motive for some spam, I mean what the fuh? Subject line: groovy The very idea of me sitting here without it! That Margaret shouldnt know how mean, how despicably meanhe is? Well, if you would perhaps remove your coat. A splash had now to be made, Gemma got up to kill. Sheshivered into herself as though she had been stripped naked. It was deep night;the house was still, the room sunk in shadow. Did other young lips meet beneath theflames of the evening sky? No, HER difficulty was to keep from smiling when she heard himsay: As I was telling your sister . She edged away; for he didntlook much, and she had her fur to think of. Perhaps she was afraidit had been stolen. In which case her sisters wouldhave to turn out, go as governesses or even worse. And in a land, too, where women stood at a premium! On this particular day she, Ann, carried a more than usually heavy load. Anything more appalling than the nearness of this scarletmonster . To this there was no answer; except from the humming, which seemed togrow momentarily louder. And the name fittedher like her own skin. What about Car, Car,the tall and willowy, the superbly busted? The sun went down,huge, flamboyant, in a violet-streaked sky. Stay with me, only stay, and Ill tell you everything. Stay with me, only stay, and Ill tell you everything. But at least I meant to sell itagain after she went, and put the money back. On this particular day she, Ann, carried a more than usually heavy load. Now, she could move, sit up with ease, turn her head,look about her. And as Margarets soleresponse was an agreeable smile: It was a present from Harry, you see. And flingingherself on her knees she hid her face in her mothers lap. What about Car, Car,the tall and willowy, the superbly busted? Now, she could move, sit up with ease, turn her head,look about her. Very well then, if its not her, if itsme, and Im dead, then Ill stop dead. He either sat mum, or barked outshort, staccato sentences: the and thats that! Old OGrady and his six galswas the snigger that went the round. You neednt mind being bare before me, little Katie.

cooby Sep 01 2006 11:38 AM

Kinda seems to be a clever way of testing to see if you need one of those male impotency drugs they keep trying to sell you guys

Edgy DC Sep 01 2006 11:50 AM

Apparently I do, because that shit didn't do it for me at all.

cooby Sep 01 2006 12:00 PM

Edgy! "She had her fur to think of" doesn't turn you on? Me neither.

KC Sep 01 2006 12:02 PM

There's no ad or link for anything, just the dumb story. Weird.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 01 2006 12:13 PM

Today I got an e-mail from Eva Longoria asking if I'm free tonight. At least things are trending in a good direction for me.

cooby Sep 01 2006 12:16 PM

Maybe you and Jeff can meet her for coffee

Benjamin Grimm Sep 01 2006 12:34 PM

Maybe I can ditch Jeff somehow and meet Eva alone.

Weird SPAM with (nonsensical) commentaty on the FIFA World Cup?!?! of a major tournament for the third time in succession and now hands over to Steve McClaren. Macedonia, Israel and Russia then he will not survive his four-year contract. Coaches such as Sven-Goran Eriksson seem so afraid of losing that many are happy to all saw their efforts saved by Ricardo, who became the first player in World Cup crown after beating France in a penalty shoot-out. World Cup needs a seismic shock to get the tournament going and warn the big teams Can't make it to New York? He has been a key leader in the development of DOE's Science Grid as well as came from the group stages. victory over England in 1986? again on television archive to show the World Cup finals in all its glory.

What are "Christian loan payoffs" anyway? I've been getting e-mails about paying off my loans in a Christian manner for years.

cooby Sep 20 2006 09:53 AM

You add an extra 10%

Edgy DC Sep 20 2006 09:54 AM

An attempt to take advantage of people more likely to trust goods and services with a "Chrisitian" label? Just a wild guess. A shot in the dark, really.

Willets Point Sep 20 2006 09:55 AM

Benjamin Grimm Sep 20 2006 10:00 AM

My guess is that is has something to do with the biblical prohibition of usury. I think paying off loans without interest would be appealing to those of all denominations.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 21 2006 10:41 AM

I just got another one of those Christian loan e-mails. (Am I the only one who gets them?) There must be some connection somehow between Christianity and loans. I never get any other Christian-themed spam. "Cum like a porn star the Christian way." Or "Meet hot Asian babes the Christian way."

cooby Sep 21 2006 10:43 AM

I am a Christian and I have more loans than you can shake a stick at. Maybe I'm all loaned out.

Willets Point Oct 02 2006 12:22 PM

Returning from a week away from work and I have 1308 spam emails in my junk mail box. This is out of control!

cooby Oct 02 2006 12:23 PM

Did you get any actual email?

cooby Oct 12 2006 03:18 PM

I just came home from work to find 119 emails, one from my sister, one from Scarlett, and 117 that were supposed to go to my husband! Grrr!

metsmarathon Oct 12 2006 05:11 PM

i hardly get any spam, either at work or at home. i had a rare time in the previous 24 hours wherein i received actual spam in both. that's like never happened.

Benjamin Grimm Oct 12 2006 05:12 PM

I probably get 200 to 300 spams a day.

cooby Oct 12 2006 06:15 PM

There was ONE good email in all that. It was to remind him that his friend Cathy's birthday is next week. (and I could have told him that)

I've been getting a lot of e-mail lately from people who think my name is "yashu."

Benjamin Grimm Oct 31 2006 05:35 PM

Those people who are always calling me "yashu" just offered me a free cheesecake dinner for two!

ScarletKnight41 Oct 31 2006 05:41 PM

I wrote to the administrator of Menendez.com and threatened to vote Republican unless they stopped spamming me!

Valadius Oct 31 2006 05:43 PM

SK - I can handle that for you, if you want.

Valadius Oct 31 2006 07:49 PM

Well, it is getting to be a bitter race. Having worked on the Menendez campaign for three months this summer, though, I have personal connections I can use to get you off of any mailing lists.

ScarletKnight41 Oct 31 2006 07:54 PM

Cool - thanks.

cooby Oct 31 2006 08:56 PM

Gina's after my time :) I think if one more Democratic person calls me on the phone, I'm going to threaten not to vote, period.

Valadius Oct 31 2006 09:29 PM

Ah, phone-banking. The drudgery of most political interns. Please don't hold it against them - most of us loathe it. In fact, on both campaigns I worked on (Corzine 2005 and Menendez 2006) one of the few stipulations I made for the work I would do was that I wouldn't be forced to do phone-banking. And I was allowed that exemption.

cooby Oct 31 2006 09:31 PM

No, I don't Val. I know someone has to do it! They've all been recordings so far anyway :)

ScarletKnight41 Nov 01 2006 05:10 AM

I hold it against anyone involved in interrupting my peace and quiet at home, be it by telephone calls or spam. Some day studies will prove that these tactics are counterproductive. Annoying the constituency only helps your opponents.

Edgy DC Nov 01 2006 05:27 AM

A library board race, of all things, was going to the wire when I lived back in the Rock. We knew the "issues" and were prepared to vote after dinner, when, during dinner, we got calls from each candidate. My mom and my brother declared a pox on both their houses and refused to head out. I put on my Jimmy Stewart hat and told them that, if they were going out to vote anyway, they were denying themselves to stay home to spite the candidates. If they want to stick it to them, to do what I do. "What's that?" "I'm writing in Mom." Two days later, the local paper declares the result of the race, noting in their front page article that I came in third with three votes. My mother and brother acknowledged writing my crusading ass in, but I never found out who the third vote was from.

cooby Nov 01 2006 05:31 AM

That's pretty funny! Did your vote for your mom make the papers?

cooby Nov 28 2006 04:38 AM

This poor desperate chick checks the want ads for girlfriends Hi cooby I was looking for jobs on the internet and came across your profile on careerbuilder and thought I would contact you since I don't have anyone else in the USA. I will be coming to the USA in about 2 weeks and would like to make friends with you. I will let you know more information about myself. Attaching my picture now. If you agree then message me back, I'll be waiting. Hope you don't mind. Don't reply back to this email.

I am 25 y.o. Lots of kisses! Hopefully your new girl friend Attached is a picture of a cute girl with a blonde braid. Didn't work here.

I am still overwhelmed by how this girl could fall in love with me just from reading my resume Love has never come so easily for me before *sniff*

The Interlibrary Loan departmental email account continues to receive emails of this nature: ]Hello from Irina. I am goal-oriented, successful person. And I am caring, kind and tender girl.

cooby Dec 01 2006 08:34 PM

Maybe she didn't count on you all talking among yourselves Willets and I both got hit on by hot European babes this week!

I took the plunge. My only hope is that by tomorrow, my PC isn't devoid of all software.
