What the hell is a bokeh?
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.

Hi Kristi, nice to see your blog! My favorite spam has the subject, “Are you dead or alive?” I will go try to find it and see if it is worth sending. I have saved it after all these years.

Kristi, this is verbatim except I took off the account numbers, in case they belong to someone. I don’t know…how do I get more money, being dead or alive? Can you pay off your bills if you’re dead? Should I send this one back, “Recipient deceased”? Maybe this money will pay to send my coffin to Nigeria. Then again, would I have to strip down for security?
Oh my God, Julie, this is a winner for sure! I don’t know…how does it feel to be dead? The real question is, if you were dead, would you want to pay your bills? Because if I could still spend money being dead, I’d blow it on lots of cool stuff instead!
Like what? Dead body piercings?
LOL! Dead tattoos!
…you know, to cover up all the rot…
No, actually, I think if I were to get all those body piercings and tattoos, they’d find me before I started rotting. Those things glow in the dark, you know.
Julie
Why am I thinking there’s some sort of ghost story in there someplace? Haunted body piercings. It’s probably been done, but it’s still a cool idea!
Yeah, well, they could do kind of an autopsy via acupuncture, but my acupuncturist says that Chinese medicine works with energy. I don’t think a corpse has that kind of life energy…just story potential.
