They are always trying to get me to enlarge parts I don't have or parts I already had surgically made smaller. Tongue

Lately all my spam has been addressed to "James" so either some guy named James has been giving out my email address or I've been living a lie all these years.

Bring it on.

I don't know bout all that, I've just been waiting for several months for that Dell to be shipped to me. I've gotten about fifty e-mails saying it's on it's way and everytime the UPS driver goes by I come running out, and nothing?!! Cry

I got a personal email from Robt Swann Mueller, head of the FBI to let me know that they've been checking out the Nigerian guy that had previously emailed me about a large sum of money he was trying to get out of the country and for my help, he would give me some 20 million or so. Bob just wanted me to know that in most cases, these kind of things were a scam, but this guy was on the up and up.

Janie, today I quit my job. And then I told my boss to go f*** himself, and then I blackmailed him for almost sixty thousand dollars. Pass the asparagus.

Yeah, I got that one, too. Does that mean I have to share it with you? Angry

You know, you can get in big trouble putting the wrong gender on a race entry, depending on how important the race is... Is this something we all should keep quiet? Big grin

Yes, I do "run in this." So should you. The weather is never as bad as it seems from behind your office or car window.

Between this and the Chinese skyscraper, it looks like we've had a change in tactics. Not as many madlibs or semi madlibs (chunks of news headlines mushed together)... now we're onto sensationalist stuff that makes juuuuust enough sense that someone might actually open it. As opposed to the madlibs that foiled some spam catchers but didn't really succeed because no one would open them.
