52 Weeks of Spam: Winners, Week of April 2

Winners, Week of April 2:

New comment waiting approval on SCARY SCRIBES

Steven Kreuzer commented on GUEST LINKS & BOOKS

Customers are never so healthy as when, as being a chicken, it must do a certain amount of scratching around for it gets.
Carpe per diem – seize the check.

Um, what?

Everybody hates Spam—it fills up your Inbox (unless you’ve got G-mail, which does a great job of putting it in an appropriately-labeled folder), clogs your blog (WordPress does a great job filtering, too), and can threaten your computer’s security.

I have to say though, I love my Spam. It cracks me up—it’s poorly spelled, illiterate, and often leaves me wondering who would be dumb enough to click on the link for whatever product/service/lottery winning from mysterious relative in a country you’ve never heard of. So I decided in 2012 I’d go through my Spam each week and pick my favorites to share with the world. I remove the sender and any links that might be damaging (plus, who wants to give them press?).

See you next week! If you get any great Spam, you can post it here, just strip any links and the sender’s e-mail. And be sure to say something in the post to let me know you’re real. Otherwise I might think you’re…well, Spam.

  1. God I love these! Keep them coming – they make me feel really good about my zero drafts: “hey, my crappy first draft is WAYYYY more coherent than that person’s writing!” LOL!
