      Years ago, my boss said this in response to spam she received: "I didn't even know I needed a penis, much less a bigger one!"
      "I look at the stars. It's a clear night and the Milky Way seems so near. That's where I'll be going soon. "We are all star stuff." I suddenly remember Delenn's line from Joe's script. Not a bad prospect. I am not afraid. In the meantime, let me close my eyes and sense the beauty around me. And take that breath under the dark sky full of stars. Breathe in. Breathe out. That's all."

        Yeah, well, it gets in the way when it's that sizeable.

          I'll have to check my other comp for the screenshot, but i got my all-time favorite spam Subject a few months back...it was simply"Insert subject here". Let's have this dude be in charge of the spammers, he's obviously bad at his job!

            Most of the ones I've been getting recently have been attempting to disguise themselves as legitimate e-mail from Blizzard about my WoW account. I usually give them a quick glance, spot some obvious tell that it's fake and delete it.

              Bleh, my email recently got hacked, and lots of spam went forth with my email name attached. Luckily whoever hacked me 1) has really bad spelling, and 2) Everybody who I know would realize that though not the best at grammar and spelling..even I don't misspell Good. The subject of the pirated emails? "God Day!"

                Got one at work the other day that raised my eyebrows, but not for the usual reasons.

                We have fairly good spam filters. Occasional ones get through to group inboxes, such as cialis spelled with "I"s etc, but this one was different.

                "Buy sex drugs online."

                I think the lack of alternate spellings threw our spam filter into a fit.

                  I get those all the time, too. Even though I haven't used my WoW account since January and I get the emails at my regular address rather than the one I set up specifically for Battle.Net.

                    Awww, the spam I get is so thoughtful. Instead of things to build up the size of the penis I don't have, I get emails entitled 'diaper coupons' and 'earn a healthcare degree.'

                      Read a romance book that called it a "purple-helmeted lance of love."

                      To be fair, it was romantic humor, and it was supposed to sound awful.
                      God .. now I want to write a parody of all those romance novels I love to read.



                      Now I'm going to look at my spam folder and find some amusing spam lines.

                        The official ones from Blizzard usually are pretty stylized and plastered with images of the company or services. I tend to get basic text emails claiming to be from Blizzard and those quickly get dumped. (the best part is some of the links in them do not ascribe to standard DNS protocol which means they wouldn't even work)

                          Did they actually send junk from your account, or did they just use your name as the "from"?

                          My work email used to get a lot of bounce notices from spammers who were using that email address. Hell, my gmail goes out saying it's from another of my personal email accounts. You'd never know it came from gmail if you didn't look at the code.

                          Likely has non-displayed non-standard characters between the other letters. It's not easy, but I've seen it done.

                            Hmm not sure. I got a notice back from mailer deamon (spelling ugh) for some emails it couldn't get to (so it got bounced back). The subject was 'God Day'..and the message was similar to "Been a long time since we talked. Seen a very good movie here." where here was a hyperlink.

                              Just got a hilarious spam email this morning. The subject line was just brilliant: "Big penis like a girl!"
                              "So, let's build a snowman! We can make him our best friend. We can name him Bob or we can name him Beowulf! We can make him tall, or we can make him not so tall!"

                                Yeah, that just means that someone's spoofing your email address in the "from" field. Ignore it unless you see stuff in your "sent" folder.

                                Today's subject of hilarity from the ESL crowd?

                                Then there was this rather... iffy offer:

                                Challenge Mike Myers for the title of Love Guru

                                Then there's another that says, "Make a connection this Labor Day with eHarmony." I think they're a tad bit late on that one.
