Match Game Wisdom "Quit smoking seven months ago and you're still coughing. See, but it'll take one year before you stop coughing. That's what the doctors say." -- Gene Rayburn on quitting smoking, from an episode of The Match Game, to Brett Sommers. 11:06:34 AM    comment []

brown plum yellow apple Haven't the journalists liked surfing? Were those pilots practicing praying? purple grape purple plum I'm not enjoying fighting over there... Many bartenders like driving every other day... Okay, now here's some spam that in some ways appears to be a straightforward way to steal cable or whatever. But then there are oddball things in it, that's it's like, why do that? Why not make it appear to seem a real business deal. The subject is: Why pay for digital cable? My email client says it is from "Rose." Yeah, no last name. But the email address itself is: JohnsonaircrewmanD3gXl @ safe-mail.net. Johnson air crewman D3gXl? And then the letter is signed by a Richard McCarthy. So the main part of the email is like this: Good day tedstrong @ tedstrong.com, We're proud to be able to offer you this 2005 PPV digital cable filter at a wonderful price. It's here! The 54 mhz digital cable filter has the latest pass through technology video bypass chip.

But the best part is the very popular-with-spam jumble of words at the end. Often there is an attempt to seem poetic, or to tell a story. I'm guessing they think using certain words, and/or in certain orders will help these slip past email client junk mail filters. This one got through mine, so maybe it works. But check this nonsense out: brown plum yellow apple Haven't the journalists liked surfing?. Were those pilots practicing praying?. purple grape purple plum I'm not enjoying fighting over there.. Many bartenders like driving every other day.. 10:59:41 AM    comment []

Karen Mccollum, Wendy Aguilar, Julie, Julez and Jellybean So, I got some ridiculous spam email the other day. Subject: Hey there. Now in my email client, it said it was sent from someone named Karen Mccollum, but the email address implies her name is Wendy Aguilar. But then it begins: "Hi I'm Julie, julez and jellybean, those are some names that I am called in school Hehe." So, what up? She then goes on to say: "I am 18 years old and I am a senior at Texas High. I am new to Internet and I am very much excited about doing my own privet shows. its free for now, b/c they say I am still an armature :']. If you have a minute to spare, take a look around, I really much would luv to entertain you. Luv Julie," Yes, "Luv Julie" then the comma. And yes Julie, we get it, you spell love as "luv" -- cute. A lot of these spams of late use the word "privet" for private. I guess that the word "private" might be picked up by spam blockers or something. 10:48:02 AM    comment []
